How do I hire someone to help me?

Hey y’all, I’m a therapist located in TX trying to set up my website and want it to be as optimized as possible because more traffic = more referrals = small business can survive (and hopefully thrive). The only marketing agency I’m aware of is Walker Strategy Co. and they claim to help therapists with their SEO. The thing is, they offer a lot of other services in their packages that I don’t need or want, so ultimately it’s a high price tag for me just seeking SEO services....

{weekly tip} Why I post Stubs or incomplete MVP posts/articles

# A top tip for new and low-med authority sites A strategy I've used for.....25 years .... is to post "stubs" or half finished or just bullet point pages. The reason I keep finding short content pages ranking - or just a page with a video - is to get it indexed and start ranking based on my topical authority. I'm a big believer in MVP - Minimum Viable Product. Its 100% ok, it doesnt harm your seo or your brand. I'm not recommending this for folks with organizations...

Is keyword research even useful now that AI is taking over?

Here’s my take: Keyword research is still useful, just not in the old-school “exact match” way. AI is changing search, but Google still needs keywords to understand intent. The real shift is that you have to think more about topics and search behavior instead of just stuffing in keywords. These days, it’s more about understanding **how** people search. Long-tail queries, intent-based topics, and using tools like Google Search Console, People Also Ask, and even Reddit can give you way better insights. AI might generate quick answers, but solid, well-optimized...

High CPC keywords: can I target them organically?

I’ve been using the Lowfruits tool and noticed that for a particular keyword, a low-DA website is ranking well. However, the CPC for this keyword is quite high at $3.00. Does this mean the low-authority website is paying $3.00 per click to rank, and if so, does that make it not worth competing for the keyword organically? How do you approach such high-CPC keywords?

Advice on migrating a website to WP.

I have a very simple website with a page for each of the 4 services offered by a photographer. Currently this site is on a platform called Alboom. Recently I have been having problems with the platform because it is "rigged". The site presents pages whose canonicals point to different links. I can't register H1, H2 tags. I am only free to change the text and image on the website, anything beyond that I need to open a ticket with support to change it on the website and sometimes...

Need advice on platform to choose for a one pager

Hi lads, I have one page of text + images nicely structured around a new offer my company will soon propose. The offer is completely different to what the company usually does (we do hardware, products, and we will this time offer a kind of consultancy service) - we are a really small outfit. As marketing manager I feel like there's an opportunity to create a completely separated one pager website with specific domain name related to that offer that would get me a reasonable SEO reach that could...

Google Indexing Question

I am working on a new news website on WordPress and I realised that Search Console only indexing the Post tags, nothing else. I mean there are categories, posts, author pages etc, but inside the sitemap\_index or sitemp XML in Search Console only the post tags are indexed. I tried to submit the sub-sitemap for posts manually but it came with "could not fetch". Search Console only indexed 1 of the 6 sub-sitemaps. At this point, I have no clue what is wrong, this is the 3rd Wordpress site...

Does image alt text actually make a difference for SEO?

I’ve been looking into how much alt text really impacts SEO. You’ll see all over the place that it’s important for SEO, but I haven’t been able to find any proof of that. I’d love to hear your insights and please share any case studies you know of.

How do YOU structure topic clusters?

When you go about creating your 'topic clusters' how do you structure your content around your commercial/buyer pages, i.e. how many buyer pages do you incorporate per cluster (do you have more than 1 per cluster)? Have you ever tried creating an entire buyer page structure, like if it were split by region? Do you usually start with the buyer page first and then branch out or the other way around? Curious how you guys go about this, thought process, etc.

Insights on Local SEO Performance

Hi Everyone, I’ve been analyzing several small businesses, particularly in the plumbing industry and noticed that many of their websites don’t follow Google’s guidelines. For example, some have multiple H1 tags, or keywords aren’t optimized in titles, URLs, or headings. Yet, they still rank well in their local areas. I thought low competition in those areas might be one reason. What do you think? Are there other factors that could explain this? Here’s an example: largsplumbing is based on uk I’d really appreciate hearing your insights and opinions on...

Date in URL

Hey all, I had some strong ranking articles last year. I included the year in the URL and they're dropping. Should I update the body of the article and include this year and hope Google favors that over the URl? Or should I take the hit and just republish with a new URL that doesn't include the year? Thank you

SEMRush showing a keyword fluctuating wildly, page is a blog post that is untouched

I've got a blog post that discusses the differences between two industrial processes. Since 2019, our blog post has ranked typically between top 10 and top 20 position on Google, however last year we've suddenly begun to yoyo back and forth, reaching as high as first, and then disappearing almost entirely to 100+, what gives? I've not made any changes to this particular page in 3 years, so I'm confused why it is fluctuating so much? Literally this past week on the 28th January I was position 1, today...

No indexing help

I'm wondering if someone can help me. I've got an old website no longer needing to be used. I've noindexed it and checked in Search Console to see if the page is still indexed. It says that it is but then when I run a live test, it says that it isn't. When I go into SERP, the page is still visible even after I clear my cache. Any advice or ideas?

What'd you say to potential client who says "I type my queries in Perplexity, not in Google"

So, recently I was speaking to a potential client and explaining the importance of working on SEO for organic traffic to their community. They said, "I don't search on Google anymore. I simply use Perplexity and it works for me." My response was simple: 1. LLMs will still need authentic human experience powered content. 2. Google might get replaced by Perplexity. But they'll have to reference the links too. So SEO isn't going anywhere; and you will need to optimize your content anyways. What'd have been your response?
