Sounds and looks shady, but seems to work well. A family friend is dealing with a company that uses this. Aside from not seeing any visible work being done, no data produced to this point, no content to be seen either on my friends site or external sites, no visible inbound links, the site does...

Thank you Linda. Their business information is a mess on multiple sites, including GMB. I was going to do a quick fix of the citations and do as you mentioned, focus on organic and some paid platforms. They do have a mix of addresses showing for their "flipping" business, one of which includes...

This was a situation where I became involved too late. I cringed when I heard they went ahead with a UPS store address. They are in the real estate and flipping market. They are looking to improve upon their flipping business but they don't want people turned off at the fact that they do real...

I'm working with a client who has several businesses, all closely related. They do not want people searching for their one business to arrive a the location of their other businesses. Therefore, they chose an address at a UPS store, which uses suite #'s. Unbeknownst to them, there is another...

I've adopted the methodology of keeping keyword pools on the smaller side and building out several Ad Groups per campaign. This has helped keep the topics of the campaigns more tightly focused, thus, improving the success of the campaign. For subsequent landing pages, I've typically used the...

Anyone using or have a recommendation for a plugin to optimize images in bulk? Have a website full of cell phone taken pictures all with crap file names. There are several galleries that need to be renamed and I was hoping for a recommendation so I do not have to individually rename each image.

What have you found to be the best way to optimize galleries? There are only so many variations I can come up with but I've struggled with getting traction with image galleries with 15+ images. What's your recipe?

The more sub-folders you add, the more difficult it becomes to get the bots to index those pages. You'll need good internal linking to get some juice to those internal pages. Remember, the shorter amount of clicks from the homepage, the better. As much as we want to please your Majesty Google...

This definitely looks like a nice tool and bridges a few big gaps in getting reviews. Looking at some of the samples provided and hearing that some of you are creating a landing page for each city/service offered, how are you guys managing to keep the content fresh across a dozen plus cities...

By links, are we talking the local kind such as citations or legitimate backlinks? I was always taught quality content is the best way to get links. This discussion seems to go against that grain slightly. If we are talking backlinks, inbound links, etc., are you earning them or are you...

Any chance they are in different "neighborhoods" or communities? If not, maybe you could target a variation of a term for each. Good question though.

Due to a recent update to a WP plugin wiping out all of my optimized page titles, I've decided I need to keep better track of the page titles for each page of the websites as well as the URL's. I am manually entering this data and it is very tedious, especially for larger sites. Anyone using...

Something I thought about recently... Google loves fresh, new, unique content. For e-commerce sites, adding new products can fulfill this. For informational sites, new blog posts can fulfill this. If you aren't blogging, how are you appealing to Google, giving their bots a reason to visit your...

Every 6-12 months, I like to review the tools I use and do some research to see if I'm missing something important or can do more for me. What's currently on your tool belt? Rankings, local tools, citation building tools/aides, analytics tools, etc.
