Questions this episode answers

What is a siloing strategy in SEO?

A siloing strategy points page authority and domain authority from blogs and supporting pages up to money pages. If a page with existing domain authority is updated and re-indexed, Google treats links pointing from it to new pages as more powerful, concentrating ranking strength where you need it most.

How should a small business use Google My Business for SEO?

Add three photos each of your team, building exterior, building interior, and your services. Label everything properly, post blogs and promotional offers directly in the platform, and use third-party tools to track clicks. Google My Business can function almost like a social media platform and expand your map listing visibility.

Why do citation pages sometimes fail to help SEO?

If a citation page does not get indexed by Google, it passes no SEO value. Auto-populated citation services often produce duplicate content that Google does not index. Creating unique content for each citation page and building them manually improves the indexing rate, which eWebResults puts at over 70%.

How often should a business follow up with cold leads?

Frequency depends on the sales cycle. For a short cycle like a three-day chiropractor referral campaign, hitting a lead around ten times across text, email, remarketing, and calls is reasonable. At minimum, send an email the same day, one a week later, one two weeks later, and one a month later.

In their words

you can have the right keywords, but if they're hitting the wrong landing page or you're targeting the wrong people, then you're not going to convert very well. So we run by target, offer, copy. So they all have to match up.

Aaron

remarketing is super powerful because it gives you another opportunity to talk to the same audience. And so the basic sales process, you have to talk to somebody six, seven, eight times to make a sale, well, that's what remarketing gives to you.

Aaron

90% of searches on Google are question-based searches. Only about 10% of people are looking to buy
