@BrandLongo Yes

@JoyanneHawkins You did an interview with a home service owner who was killing it using YouTube. I think it was a plumber. Anyway trying to find a link to that video to share with someone. Have it handy by chance? Please & thank you

@qwertyu_alex Little late to the party, but you are still sharing, would love to look at it.

Solved part of my problem. Made a "computer" that automatically generates ~90 articles a day.. seemingly for free?? I can easily configure it to write about different topics. Comment if you want the link and I'll send it in your DMs tomorrow morning

@webjuice_ie @JoyanneHawkins @cyandle Thought the same thing. I optimized a couple location pages for near me. 100% worth it. Try it and look at your GSC after 60 days.

@JoyanneHawkins @cyandle I don't use "near me" at all, and I don't think people are using it. They just type the keyword + city

If you are still thinking "near me" optimization is spammy, even Google is doing it. Check out that title AND URL. h/t @cyandle

@nichepursuits I’m close to downtown. How long are you in town for?

Do I know anyone in Denver? I'm traveling there today and will be around for a couple of days. Might have time for a meetup if it happens to work out...

@BrandLongo Yes

@DivertCRO Gold

Most brands are sitting on a goldmine of review data-and wasting it. I built a GPT-4 system that turns 1,000s of reviews into: → Pain points → Objections → Triggers → Copy-ready angles 100% automated. Like + comment "gold" and I'II send it. (must be following)

@natiakourdadze @mrrsmiths Yes, but if everyone can get them, than how much value do they really have?

@mrrsmiths Google considers over 200 factors when determining page rankings in search engine results pages (SERPs). Among the most important are high-quality backlinks

@tehseowner Also I think we are one of their largest trade partners. Don’t bite that hand that feeds you.

@tehseowner I think it’s good to bring some tech manufacturing back to the US for security and jobs. He would be better served not pissing off our allies. Agree they need to pull their own weight, but maybe be a little more diplomatic about it.

Question about tariffs for people who know more than me. What happens if we go war with China while not at all being a self-sufficient country? 50% consumer goods 30% machinery/electronics 40% home goods 20% generic drugs All come from China. When that ends, where do we go? China can virtually produce everything themselves besides… soybeans apparently. So we’d be going to war with a superpower that has billions of people without the ability to manufacture what we need to sustain ourselves. This sort of sounds like a pretty big national security risk to me. What am I missing?

@JoyanneHawkins The thing I have seen. The number location pages that get index can roughly be correlated with strength of brand and backlink profiles. Strong brands with a good b/l profile can get away with a lot. New site and company, good luck with that.

@JoyanneHawkins Seen it countless times. Problem is people slam on the gas, instead of gently pressing down. If you know what you are doing it can move the needle some, but should be the last thing you do.

Some fascinating comments on this thread about CTR manipulation: "You can do CTR manipulation for a short period of time before you get caught. Once you’re caught, then you’re going to drop to the bottom of the rankings and lose all traffic from local searches (map and GBP)." "Your listing WILL get suspended. Many of my peers have gone this route and totally blew up their clients' accounts!" Have you witnessed or experienced either scenario?

@rajanpatel @gaganghotra_ @searchliaison @Google You all are just yelling into a void. It’s been 18 months since HCU rolled out. If they wanted to fix it they would have done it by now. Goog stock is up 33% in that time. Q4 ad revenue was up 10%. I think they just happy how things are going.

@gaganghotra_ @searchliaison @Google Danny is the Search Liason. I'm just here to get feedback on what's going well and what could be better for some of the newer things we're working on, like AI Mode, so that we can take that back and improve Search.

@dmytrope Would love to try it out.

A month ago, I launched one of the most valuable Chrome extensions for SEO link building you’ll ever find. It’s a tool I originally made for myself, but then decided to make public. What does it do? It shows you the best prices for guest post placements across multiple link-building marketplaces – directly in Ahrefs, Semrush, MOZ, Ubersuggest, and Google SERP. Saving you significant amount of time and money. When analyzing competitors backlink report, it even reveals the estimated cost of their backlink profile. Right now, I don’t have time to promote it on regular way since I’m fully focused on a research platform for home service businesses. So I've decided to launch a generous promotion! 🎉 You can use my product completely FREE for 4 months (regular price: $72)... ... if you repost this tweet. No limitations – just full access! Access will be granted after I DM you the link and you sign up. If it doesn’t save you at least $10, you can simply delete your repost. 🙂

@AllGasSeo Localized post are great. You see this on your blog: “5 things to look for when hiring xyz service”. Start looking for a new agency.

@AllGasSeo I agree & disagree. Targeting middle funnel geo kw works wonders & will convert. Example: How much does xyz service cost in city or state? good to power up location pages that aren’t ranking well Build blog sprinkle in internal links & some backlinks. Boom your now ranking

Whenever someone schedules a meeting with me, I'll go and check out their site. Most times, I immediately know if they have been working with some bums. Ranking in local SEO does not require blog posts. They are a cheap way for agencies to upsell you. Don't let them do it

@webjuice_ie @theseoguy_ Drfone. Got a link by chance thanks

@theseoguy_ We are adding logo and QR code for our home page, you can do QR code for othe pages too. Ask your employees to use driving directions when you go to work or you can use Drfone with iPhone and manipulate😉

Google Business Profile Optimization in 5 Easy Steps 1 — Pick the correct category. Some categories are really cut and dry. If you are a pest control company, pick “pest control”. If you can’t figure it out, look at the top 3 ranking GBPs in your area that offer the same service you do. For example, cleaning companies have to choose between “house cleaning company” and “cleaners”. If most of your rev comes through house cleaning, pick house cleaning. 2 — Fill out the profile top to bottom including the keyword and the location you serve. Example, “Premier Roofing is the number one roofing contractor in Austin Texas.” or “Clean Teeth Dental is the premier dental practice in the Phoenix area.” Both of those are great opening lines for something like a business description. When doing things like updates to the profile, include the keyword and location as well as a photo. “Just wrapped up this sweet roof replacement in Mesa” or “Jasmine got these new veneers at our office in downtown Phoenix.” Be sure the services tab is filled out as well. 3 — Build citations with a consistent NAP (Name, Address, and Phone Number). List yourself in places like YellowPages, Yelp, and the BBB. Make sure the NAP in all of your citations is the exact same as what is reflected on the GBP. If it is not, take the time to go through everything and change it. 4 — Aggressively run up your review count. You can likely push 3-5 per day without running into any issues. Make sure the reviews come from people in your immediate area. Obviously they work best and tend to stick when it’s a real customer. Photos, a lengthy review, and a local guide account help the reviews have more choose. If you know the customer well, have them throw the keyword in the review. “These are the best pest control dudes in Montgomery” actually can make a difference. 5 — Have your friends do some natural CTR for you. If they live in your area, give them a call, ask them to Google your target keyword, open up the maps section, scroll down until they see you, and interact with the profile for 30 seconds or so. Have them ask for directions on the profile and visit the website. The task completion shows Google that you are a real business with people interested.
