Yep.  All this morning.  The landing page, the workflow, the email, the worksheets and I recorded the podcast.  I know right? So it's a fun little experimental challenge designed to get you thinking and creating original content, incorporating it in different areas of your website and using the Search Console to see if you get ranked for it and if your website traffic increases.  One phrase a day...that's it.  And the worksheet has an area for brainstorming and tracking your results.  See? Fun right? Now I can't guarantee any results at all.  Again it's just an experiment so you can see what content and placement works and doesn't work on your website.  To get your worksheet click here: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/6267fe5e1e8046b22025388b  I used Flodesk and Canva to do this.

A few days ago, Instagram updated its algorithm to give preference to original content. Google has been doing this for years. The tl;dr version of this is original content is good and you should create your own content. Don't be a copycat for the purpose of getting more likes, views, comments, followers, what have you. In today's marketing world, original content goes a lot farther in the long run and if you want to be in the long game you have to do long run things. Be you - let yourself come through in everything you do. Got questions? Click the link below to leave a voice message. Thank you for tuning in!

This is a very controversial topic. The term "keywords" is very misleading when it comes to SEO. What it means to you, Google and me are very different.

Don't assume that your website will look good on a mobile platform.  Always test it out on actual tablets and phones during the build and before the launch! And if you've hired a designer, still test it out.  It could look really wonky and awful on a tablet and phone view and that's no bueno. Having a wonky website can cause high bounce rates and affect SEO.  Make sure your website is clean, structured, and easy to navigate on desktops, tablets and phones.

Did you know that Google can rewrite your Title Tags and Meta Descriptions to better suit your website content? It's true! They did it on my website - they used a paragraph tag about halfway down the page as the description - and it's actually much better than what I wrote as the meta description.  I read somewhere that Google rewrites about 60% of all websites' title and descriptions for search engine results which is why the content on your website is super important!  Listen to get more info.  And of course if you have any questions or need help, click the link below to send a voice message.  Or contact me on FB @poweredbyrio IG @mistiesmithrio or the website https://poweredbyrio.com.  Don't forget to hook your website up to the Google Search Console.  It's free!

In this BONUS episode, Mistie explains how to prepare your Facebook Business Manager for the Apple iOS update coming early Spring 2021. Download the FREE Checklist and follow along. In case you haven't heard, Apple has announced the release of iOS 14 .5 coming early Spring. That update will generate an opt in screen , the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt, when you open apps that use 3rd party website tracking (not just Facebook). It will allow app users to opt out of third party tracking. That means that your Facebook Pixel will not be able to track anyone who opts out, which also means your ads will be impacted. By how much we won't know until it actually happens. Mistie discusses ten things you can do now, before the update, to prepare. By not doing some of these tasks, you could lose data and your current ads could stop performing. Find out what this Apple update means and how it will affect not only you and your Facebook ads, but also how iOS users will be affected. Fasten your seatbelts y'all! Take action now!

Google did a core algorithm update on May 4, 2020. What does that mean for your and your website? This podcast covers some basic SEO best practices that you should be doing on your website. Mistie explains what these are, how they work and why they are important. The biggest takeaway of this episode is content!!! You'll hear straight from the Google's mouth about their core updates and what they deem important about your content. This information is important for webmasters as well as small businesses that build and maintain their own websites. If your website traffic has been affected by the core update, you should be able to troubleshoot and get your traffic going in the right direction by doing some or all of the items covered in this podcast. (However, if your website uses black hat SEO or any tactics that violate Google's webmaster guidelines nothing short of stopping those tactics and starting over can even begin to help you.) Mistie reads directly from webmasters.googleblog.com's post from August 1, 2019 titled "What webmasters should know about Google's core updates" that expresses how important content is to SEO. If you have a website from a drag and drop builder, this episode can help you structure your content to be better indexed. If you are a little more advanced with some knowledge of coding, this episode will explain some backend code you can add to help with indexing. The information in this podcast will not get your website on the first page and first spot of search engine search results but it will help you to be more strategic about your content and that may help you to get more website traffic. No guarantees!! Just best practices. As usual, if you have any questions, please leave a message by clicking on the link below or email social@rio-llc.com or visit our website at https://rio-llc.com and send a message through FaceBook messenger.
