You either build authority in SEO to rank or you borrow it... Let's work through the costs of each. Building authority (aka buying links, doing PR, building PBNs, etc.). - Each link roughly $200 - $500 - PR campaigns can run $1k+ - PBNs range from $50-$150 (self-build) 2.4K views · 22 likes · 3 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →

@SearchForRyan I totally understand where you're coming from but I think its grossly unfair, but worse this is kind of a though limiting cliche and its a logical fallacy. Lets put what % of HCU sites did or didn't deserve to get hit for a minute... they were all designed ot man 383 views · 14 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

If you’re an SEO and hit me with ‘Google says…’ I immediately know you don’t do SEO. Instead I know 2 things could be true: 1. You do agency SEO which, let’s be honest… it’s not really SEO.

You can have a $100K/yr business *just* with local SEO and $500/mo on ads. I've done it a handful of times, and it's always the same process... 1. Build a legitimate brand using a Google Workspace email. 2. Use a brandable .com not an EMD (EMDs *do* work) but I want something 5.3K views · 76 likes · 0 reposts · 13 replies Open on X →

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong with Meta ads? Running 7 ads and have 1 very clear winner. Webinar funnel, direct to a landing page. Should I create 5 more ads like the winner and shut off the losers? Do I duplicate this campaign w/ the new ads in it? https://t.co/APY

@SearchForRyan we're not. this approach is the one that's dying. I don't mean this as superiority, but we've moved on to doing real marketing. analyzing competitive gaps and consumer needs and trying to fill those. To building a real brand.

My job as an SEO is *literally* just finding loopholes in search engines to rank websites. That's it. So when SEOs catch an attitude or have this air of superiority, it makes me cringe.
