The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, this is week three, part three of our optimizing your content and your marketing for AI. You know, people call it SEO for AI and a variety of tongue twisting acronyms. This week we’re talking about off site, which I feel like is probably the most accessible for folks because it’s the least technical and it is very familiar ground. Off site AI optimization is essentially how can you be in as many places as possible as often as possible so that your name, your brand, and your content are duplicated as many places as AI crawlers grab their data from to build a training dataset library. So Katie, when we talk about going out into the world, what comes to mind for you for making that work and for being as many places as you possibly can be? Katie Robbert – 00:58 You know, it’s funny because you just said something to the effect of it’s the most accessible or it’s the easiest. And I disagree because I feel like it’s the one that’s the least in your control. So, you know, when we talk about off site, we’re talking about getting on lists and guest posts and other people mentioning you. And it’s not enough to just post about yourself on LinkedIn a couple of times a day. Sure, that’s part of it, but that it’s much more than that. And so, when I think about off site, I still think, okay, number one, I still have to have really good content, which is where we started this series that’s useful and appeals to my audience. So you can’t skip that step and suddenly just say, you know what? Katie Robbert – 01:54 I’m gonna get on a bunch of who’s who lists or top 10 lists or whatever, because without that content as your foundation, people don’t know who you are. So I don’t know. I understand what you’re saying. Where it’s the most familiar, maybe the most approachable. I disagree with that. I feel like it’s actually harder than writing your own content because you still have to have that content, but then you have to convince other people that they have to then include your content in their stuff. Christopher S. Penn – 02:32 Okay. I think I was approaching it from the perspective of it requires the least technical knowledge. Katie Robbert – 02:37 Oh, well, sure. Christopher S. Penn – 02:39 Oh, it looks like public relations, which is in fact what it is. It is all about public relations—public relations, media relations, influencer marketing, influencer relations, and so on and so forth at relations to pretty much anything. That’s where this is in terms of what you do. So what you would do is, you know, Katie, we’d try to go out and pitch you as a thought leader in your field and get as many people to cover you as possible. Our friend Nicole Besthard says the trouble with pitching people as thought leaders is they first have to have thoughts that people want to hear. Katie Robbert – 03:18 It’s. But that’s my point is, like, I mean, it’s not just us. How many people get those spammy emails, like, oh, I loved your article about how to churn butter. My CEO would be great for your content if you just want to add this link, like 10 times out of 10, someone’s just pitching because there was some kind of a form or contact link on your website. It doesn’t matter if it matches or not, because they’re hoping that if I pitch a hundred publications or websites, that at least one or two will say yes. Like, to me, that’s not fun, that’s not easy work. And it feels very inconsiderate of the person pitching that they didn’t even bother to do the research to see if it was a good fit. Christopher S. Penn – 04:17 Yep. What’s different for the AI era, it kind of turns PR strategy on its head a bit. In the old days, and you and I did our time the salt lines at a PR firm, we always had people saying, oh, we need to be in tier one publications, we need to be in The New York Times, we need to be in The Wall Street Journal. And what’s kind of amusing about that is that many of those tier one publications have actively blocked AI crawlers from accessing the content—The New York Times in particular—which means that if you go to a search tool like ChatGPT with search enabled, guess who’s not in the results? The New York Times. Which means that if you’re out there pitching The New York Times, you’re not going to be included in that data set. Christopher S. Penn – 04:56 Whereas today, what we would advocate to people is as long as it’s not inappropriate for your business, like The East Peoria Evening News, totally fine. Right? It doesn’t matter that it’s not a huge publication being on Katie Robbert’s personal blog at katierobert.com, totally fine. Even if she’s only got two readers. It’s the machines we’re trying to get content into, not the humans. Katie Robbert – 05:22 So I guess let’s back up a little bit. So how in this modern age off site SEO, you just mentioned The New York Times for example, how does your average marketer get an understanding of what publications are and are not being picked up by generative AI models? Is there a place where they can go to say, okay, The New York Times is out. You know, Boston Globe is in, East Peoria Times is in, but The West Peoria Times is out. Christopher S. Penn – 05:58 One of the easiest things to do is to fire up the deep research tool of the AI of your choice. So this would be things like Deep Seeks web search. This be Grok’s deeper search, Gemini’s deep research, OpenAI’s deep research, Anthropic Claude’s Web Search, and ask not necessarily about you, but to say, for the management consulting industry, which is where Trust Insights operates, who are the top leaders in management consulting for AI? And when what you’re looking for is not the summary, ignore the summary. You’re looking at the sources list because all the deep research tools publish a list of where they got their information. And that is a great starting place to see what are the blogs, what are the forums, where did this tool get its information? And you want to put as few restrictions on it as possible. Christopher S. Penn – 06:50 In fact, you want to give it a very naive prompt like, what are some great websites to read AI news about and see what it comes up with? Because that tells you where the models are grounding their results. And they’re almost all using traditional search from that. So that is a great first step to say, okay, what does the model know about in terms of data sources? And then you and your PR team, your agency, maybe your virtual PR GPT that you put together, whatever the thing is, would look at that list and say, where could we realistically get placed? If you see, oh, it looks like marketingprofs.com is on there, great. Do they accept guest posts? How would you go about figuring that you see The Wall Street Journal? Christopher S. Penn – 07:37 Like, I know, pretty sure that’s going to require a heck of a lot of work. And in the world of AI, all text is equal. So a piece in The Wall Street Journal and a piece on Christopher Penn’s blog have the same weight in a model in terms of their value. If it’s a lot easier to get out of Christopher Penn’s blog than is The Wall Street Journal, spend your time getting onto Christopher Penn’s blog. Katie Robbert – 08:00 So this brings up an interesting question that, you know, a lot of, you know, this was something that I learned about when I started working with you a million years ago at the PR firm was something called Domain Authority. So where does domain—so Domain Authority. My understanding is, you know, the higher the domain authority number on a scale of what, 1 to 100, the more legit, for lack of a scientific term, the website is. So for example, you know, The East Peoria News might have a high domain authority because they just reported report on specific things versus like a BuzzFeed which has like a lot of eyeballs, but their content is crap. Katie Robbert – 08:49 Can you give like a quick, not overly technical explanation of number one, how I got domain authority wrong and what it actually is, but where it fits in to generative AI search? Because that was a big deal for off site SEO for a long time. Christopher S. Penn – 09:08 If I say the word actually, you’re going to slap me. Katie Robbert – 09:10 Yeah, pretty much so. Christopher S. Penn – 09:14 Domain authority is an invented metric. It was first invented by Moz way back in the day and pretty much every SEO tool has their own version and is their best estimate of the probability that your domain will come up in a search. Like if you are searching for management consulting firms, your domain authority would be ours would probably be like 20 and McKinsey would be like 100% of the time he’s going to show up. That was a general idea back then. Domain authority is an estimate because no one could see into Google’s algorithms. No one had any idea what was in the box. So as people’s best guesses based on essentially submitting a lot of searches to Google and then trying to guess how, why does site keep coming up that in AI search is much less relevant? Christopher S. Penn – 10:01 Because AI search has two major components. One is the model’s latent knowledge itself based on the training data that has been trained on and that is all about tonnage. How many mentions of Trust Insights can we get across the web in any source, doesn’t matter where. And then the second is search grounding, which is when you’re using tools that have search grounding enabled, they will verify the knowledge that they’ve come up with from the model with traditional search results. And so domain authority would still have kind of sort of a little bit of usefulness on the grounding portion. Obviously if you show up in traditional search, then for tools that use search grounding, they will be more likely to validate, but they first have to have the idea that you exist from the model itself. Christopher S. Penn – 10:49 So if you want long term staying power, you won’t need to be in the model’s training data. And then if you want to be credible to that, you have to also be in the search grounding. So that when the model says hey, Trust Insights is a really good management consulting company. Let me go check my search results. Yep, Trust Insights is in there. Trust Insights is credible, so you kind of need both. Katie Robbert – 11:10 Okay, so where do—so one of the ways which we typically do our homework, our research on how to approach our off site SEO, our traditional SEO tools such as an AHREFS or SEMrush, where do those tools fit in? Like, what should we be looking for in like an ahrefs in order to figure out. I want to be so—okay, let me back up a little bit. If my user story is as the CMO, I want Trust Insights to heavily appear in OpenAI’s model for search results so that people will hire us. What do I need to do? What do I need to look for in something like an href? So if that’s how I traditionally do my research to figure out my off site strategy. Christopher S. Penn – 12:07 That is. So traditional SEO tools will not help you very much with getting into the model’s training data because it’s just so vast. That’s again more about tonnage. How can you get placed as many places as possible? And we have a whole bag of tricks that we advise clients on that, one of which is a, you want to be on YouTube and B, you want to be on as many podcasts as you possibly can. And when you’re guesting on those podcasts, make sure that you mention your company name as often as you can in relevance. If you hear me on a lot of guest shows, it’ll sound kind of egotistical and obnoxious like, well, I Trust Insights. We do, but it gets it into the transcripts. Where these SEO tools will help is on the traditional search stuff that you still have to maintain. Christopher S. Penn – 12:56 So you would still go into—for example, the AHREFS has its batch comparison analysis tool where you would say, here’s Trust Insights, here’s five competitors. Where do sites, these other site, these five compares, where do they get links where Trust Insights is not getting links? And then you look at the list. Now here’s the flip again. People are still fixated on domain authority, domain score, et cetera, go down to the bottom of the list. As long as it’s not absolute garbage, like you know, someone’s pills, porn, casino site, as long as not absolute garbage. Those sites that are at the bottom of the list, the small blogs, the small podcasts, you’re gonna have a much easier time getting on those. And from a generative AI perspective, they’re just as credible for just getting more of you out there. Katie Robbert – 13:42 Interesting. So that is, you know, for those who want to call me Captain Obvious, that is the reverse strategy that we’ve typically taken because we’ve always looked for highest domain authority, most credible, best in class. And now we’re saying it doesn’t matter as long as it isn’t completely conflicting of your mission and values. Get yourself on there. It doesn’t matter. To your point, if I want to mention Chris Penn on katierobert.com then you’re like, great, I’m winning because I—that’s one more place where I’m at. Even though there’s only one visitor a month to katirobert.com you’re still there. Christopher S. Penn – 14:33 I’m still there. And critically, I’m still there when the AI crawlers stop by and start ingesting your content. We have seen in the news headlines there’s a big scandal over the weekend. Meta gotten a whole bunch of hot water for using the Live Gen database as part of their training data for the Llama models, which Live Gen is a—a huge repository of pretty much every book and publication and academic paper ever published, pirated by enterprising folks in other nations and that don’t have access to Reed Elsevier or Amazon, whatever. So this is huge corpus of pirated text that they didn’t pay for that was used illicitly. But it speaks to the—it speaks to the absolute hunger that AI model makers have for any valid text. Christopher S. Penn – 15:29 So if you can be anywhere, as long as it’s crawlable and it’s available, be everywhere. Be as many places as you can be. Go for those placements that traditional executives would have looked down like, oh, what? Why am I in, you know, Framingham Patch? That’s not going to help our business. Well, now it will. Katie Robbert – 15:53 Well, it doesn’t help if you’re in the Framingham Patch on the police blotter. That certainly does not help anything. Christopher S. Penn – 16:03 No, it does not. Katie Robbert – 16:04 But excuse me, it is going to be really interesting because it’s a whole re education of essentially how PR for the AI age is going to work. And I think that there’s definitely some folks in that space who already understand it, who already get it. But at least in my admittedly limited experience in the PR industry, it’s well behind modern technologies, modern techniques. If you think of that innovation bell curve, they’re sort of, they’re on the laggard side versus the early adopter side. And so I feel like that’s going to be a struggle because it’s the exact opposite of everything that PRofessionals were taught in terms of pitching and coverage and outreach and you know, all those things because now it doesn’t matter. You would think it would be, oh, this makes my job so much easier. Katie Robbert – 17:07 But you first have to unlearn all those things that you have been drilled into your head in terms of what makes good coverage. Not only that, but they then have to communicate to their clients why getting coverage secured in the Framingham Patch is a good thing and not just a waste of time and money. I just, I feel for them. I, oh, that’s a nightmare. Christopher S. Penn – 17:34 One of the biggest secrets, it’s not really a secret, but it’s something that we talk about in our Generative AI for Marketers course and in our keynotes and things like that, is the good old fashioned news release or the old fashioned press release that you put online that has no SEO value. None. It hasn’t had SEO value for 15 years. It does have AI value and the reason is when you put up a news release on a wire service, on a credible wire service, and I believe I’m actually doing a talk with our friends over at Notified about this not too long from now. When you put something on the wire, it gets replicated thousands of times in the back end. Christopher S. Penn – 18:19 If local news outlets were convenience stores, this would be back behind the baked beans in the far corner of the store. No one goes there, but it’s still there. And that many multiple copies of your information, as long as you structure the press release correctly, which is a whole other topic, it benefits you substantially. So that 99 dollars you plopped down for the wire service release, no human’s going to read it. Don’t expect any traffic from it. Expect zero views. You will, if you are doing traditional PR reporting, it will still look embarrassing, but from an AI perspective, you’re going to look at the 500 copies of your news release and go, we won. We’ve gotten 500 copies of our top language that we need models to learn out for in the world for 99 bucks. Katie Robbert – 19:10 I feel like this still falls under the re education bucket. So, you know, I’ve seen these AI structured press releases and they look similar to a regular press release, but the language is different enough that you’re like, were you struggling with spelling and grammar when you wrote this? Like, this is incoherent. So what is that? How do you explain that? So let’s say, you know, I’m the executive and I say I want to see the press release before it goes out. And then you hand me this AI version of a press release and I, you know, mark it up, red pen, all that sort of stuff, and say, this is incoherent. We can’t send this out. This is embarrassing. Like, that’s a really hard challenge to overcome because it is that re education because you’re sitting there saying, it’s not for you. Katie Robbert – 20:04 And the executive is saying, but I have to approve it. And I can’t approve this. I can’t read it. Like, this is a whole topic that we need to explore in terms of change management. Christopher S. Penn – 20:17 It is. And in some ways it would be the same as that executive trying to inspect Python code. Like, you’re like, you know what? This is not your area specialty. So let’s loop in someone whose special area specialty is to explain to you why this is okay and why it really doesn’t even fall under your purview. Yes, it is. It looks like a press release, it’s press release shaped, but it is not for humans. Katie Robbert – 20:41 Let me ask you this question, and I don’t expect a serious response, but how often, how well does it go when you say to an executive, this is not your area of expertise. Let’s find someone who’s smarter than you. Zero out of 10 times zero. This is. But that’s my point is it’s called a press release. It’s press release shaped. So the person who is used to approving, editing and approving press releases is now being told, this is not your area of expertise. I don’t see that conversation going well. Christopher S. Penn – 21:19 And that’s where I look to you as an expert in change management and organizational behavior, to say, how do we message this to an executive who, as you said, is already a laggard in technology to explain to them, this is not a press release for humans? Katie Robbert – 21:34 I mean, honestly, first and foremost, I’d probably not call it a press release because I think that in and of itself there’s already expectations with the word press release. So if you’re saying it’s a press release, but not—don’t call it a. Christopher S. Penn – 21:47 Press release, I believe you just coined your term, Katie, the AI release. Katie Robbert – 21:52 Call it an AI release because then honest. But honestly, because, like, if you come to me and say, I have a press release, but you’re—but you’ll never be able to understand it. I’m going to be really uppity and offended and, you know, I’m going to throw—throw all the things that are in your way to prevent this from happening until I get it. If you call it an AI release, I’m like, oh, well, I’m not the AI person. I want to understand it, but I probably never will. But that’s not my wheelhouse. That’s not my circus, not my monkeys. Let me go ahead and pass that off. But if it’s a press release, then I absolutely need to micromanage it. Christopher S. Penn – 22:29 Yep, exactly. So I think that answers that question to a degree. Is to—to rebrand it as something else. This is an AI release. This is an AI wire for AI. Katie Robbert – 22:40 And I think that, you know, it’s not the flashiest of names, but I think that it’s appropriately named and that is going to help start that education process of if it’s an AI release for AI, then I don’t have to be the human who understands it because it’s not for me in the first place. Christopher S. Penn – 23:01 Exactly. The other thing that we really recommend, folks, take a good hard look at is syndication, particularly if you are. If you have the opportunity to work with other outlets in other languages. So I’ll give you an example of an acquaintance reached out over the weekend to say, hey, can we make a copy of the almost timely newsletter in Melee? And I’m like, as long as you don’t edit it and you just do the translation of it into—into the Melee language. Yeah, go, go for it, please do. You just have to keep it intact because all my links to my stuff are in there. You know, I want people to go into the Trust Insights courses and stuff. You got to keep my ads. Right. Christopher S. Penn – 23:48 But in doing so, if other people are replicating my content in different languages than when other model makers. So, for example, oh, gosh, what’s the name of the Sea lion? The Sea lion model is a model put together out of a company in Singapore that is structured as a language model for Southeast Asian languages, hence the name Sea Lion—so Malay, Tagalog, Filipino, Thai, etc. Again, we want our data to be finding its way into—into these other models, especially as AI grows and you get more adoption that have localized AI you want to. If you want business in those parts of the world, then you absolutely want to have your content in those publications in those languages. Because someone said on LinkedIn, don’t bother translating your stuff. Language models are perfectly capable of doing that you can just publish in English. Christopher S. Penn – 24:47 Well, that’s a very Eurocentric point of view. But also, language is structured differently. It’s a different language. English is subject, verb, object. Right. There are some languages that are object, subject, verb, like I believe, Gaelic. That if people remember how Transformers work, which you can find in our course, Mastering Prompt Engineering for Marketers, the order of words matters to how prompts function a model. So if you translate into Gaelic properly and it is in that structure, your brand names and titles and how you relate to concepts is going to be different in Gaelic than it is in English. So you absolutely should be publishing in any language where you have an audience or where, you know, big model makers are making the models, like China, for example. Katie Robbert – 25:40 Well, I even think back to my sophomore year of Spanish. The way in which the Spanish language works is that it assigns genders. When you’re conjugating verbs, you have to think about, well, is it, does it end in O? Does it end in a? Yes, like what’s the gender? Even if it’s an inanimate object? You know, and then I also think about a lot of Asian languages. So, you know, in English we go left to right, Asian languages go right to left. And so just the physical structure is different. You know, forget the word order, it’s physically structured, different. And so call me a control freak, I’m totally fine with that. I don’t want an AI model to just go ahead and willy nilly translate for me. I want to have control over the translation. Katie Robbert – 26:33 I was telling a translation story on our livestream last week and how it can go, you know, really wrong. I want to still have that human intervention to say, yes, the model has translated, but I have built in the checks and balances. So for your example, someone wanted to translate your newsletter. Your goal is to keep intact certain tagging and tracking and URLs. You as the human still have to do that QA, that intervention, to say, yes, this is correct. Okay, now it’s ready for public consumption. Christopher S. Penn – 27:07 Exactly. But from the perspective off site SEO for AI, you do want to be doing stuff in the languages of your audience. So go into your Google Analytics as we showed on the live stream, and see what languages you should be targeting. Plus make stuff for the languages of the major model makers in the regions you care about. So you, if you are a French company, you need an English language model. Right. If you look at Mistral has a strong English language capability, even though it’s made in France. You need a strong Chinese language capability because just this morning Deep Seek came out with a new version of its model and they’ve got a deep seq R2 on the way that apparently is terrifyingly good. Guess where Deep Seq gets its information from? From the Internet. Christopher S. Penn – 27:54 And guess what language is particularly good at Chinese, right? So if you are not putting your stuff in multiple languages for model makers to ingest and understand in their language what your company is about, then if this model gets adopted, and that’s kind of the goal of Deep Seq, right, is to they give it away for free so that many places adopt it, you had better be in there. And if you’re not, you are in. You’re not going to perform as well as a competitor who is. So to wrap up off site is all about stuff that you do outside of the walls of your company, outside of the walls of your website. It is technologically the least complicated, but it is arguably the most labor because it requires you to show up and pitch good old fashioned PR. Christopher S. Penn – 28:45 And if your PR firm is not up to date on modern practices, this would be a great time to perhaps educate them.

Jeff Oxford is on the podcast today to talk about how you can get free Google Shopping listings as an e-commerce seller. Jeff explains what Google Shopping is, why they're not just paid ads,  and how you can achieve better rankings on Google Shopping. We also touch on why diversification away from Amazon is important and the things we have observed in SEO for e-commerce businesses. Today's episode is sponsored by Autron. Maximize your ROI with Autron's real-time algorithmic bidding, optimizing every ad dollar for smarter spending and higher returns. Start optimizing today and get 30% off for 3 months! The Big Takeaway Google Shopping is not just about ads; it's a separate search ranking. Amazon dominates Google Shopping listings, holding 50% of the top spots. Domain authority is one of the biggest factors for ranking in Google Shopping. Building backlinks to specific product pages is more effective than general domain authority. Product reviews significantly impact rankings in Google Shopping. Diversifying sales channels beyond Amazon is something worth considering. Recent SEO updates have favored e-commerce sites over content sites, so if you are new to SEO, don't be afraid!  E-commerce has seen significant growth, with a 50% increase over five years. Main image and title optimization are critical for product listings. Having keywords in product titles helps with rankings, but correlation is minimal. Lower-priced products tend to rank better in Google Shopping. Premium brands may struggle with SEO due to higher bounce rates. Core updates from Google adjust ranking factors periodically. A good mobile experience is absolutely essential for website ranking. User experience significantly impacts SEO performance. Content on collection pages can enhance SEO effectiveness. Link building remains a key strategy for improving search rankings.

"Think about the people. Who is at the end of the telephone line of our marketing services? What do they need?" Iterative Product Development:Speed and adaptability are crucial in today's market. Jamar advises, "The biggest piece of advice I can say is: be ready to iterate on your product as quickly as possible. Get your product out there as soon as possible. Even if it's not perfect."Effective Communication, Transparency, and Honesty:Authenticity is key when reporting metrics. "We have to be careful how we talk about the numbers. And we have to be careful about how we report on the numbers and always tell the truth."Simplifying Complex Concepts:Jamar shares his expertise on making complicated ideas accessible.

Introduction to Domain Authority and AI in SEO Welcome to a compelling episode of the Pestgeek Podcast, where your host, Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez, delves into the increasingly relevant topic of domain authority and the integration of AI in SEO. As the digital landscape becomes more saturated with AI-driven content, understanding and implementing strategies to enhance your website's visibility on Google has never been more crucial. Understanding Domain Authority Domain authority is a metric developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engine result pages (SERPs). A higher domain authority score suggests a greater potential for ranking, making it a critical focus for any business aiming to enhance its online presence. Franklin kicks off the discussion by explaining the fundamentals of domain authority and why it's a pivotal aspect of digital marketing strategy. The Surge of AI-Driven Content The advent of AI has revolutionized content creation, allowing for the production of high-volume, SEO-optimized content at an unprecedented scale. Franklin discusses how this surge in AI-driven content impacts your ability to rank and stand out among competitors. He emphasizes the importance of not just quantity but quality and relevance of content to your specific audience. Practical Strategies to Boost Your Domain Authority One of the highlights of this episode is Franklin's practical, actionable strategies that businesses can use to improve their domain authority. From enhancing internal linking structures to acquiring high-quality backlinks and optimizing on-page content, Franklin provides a comprehensive guide to the tactics that matter most in today's SEO landscape. Embracing AI to Propel Your Business Moving beyond traditional SEO, Franklin discusses how embracing AI can transform your business's approach to online marketing. He covers tools and technologies that assist in keyword research, content generation, and data analysis, explaining how these can lead not only to improved SEO performance but also to better customer engagement and conversion rates. Tackling the 'Chicken and the Egg' Challenge A significant part of the podcast is dedicated to addressing the 'chicken and the egg' dilemma many small businesses and startups face: the need for domain authority to attract visitors and the need for visitors to build domain authority. Franklin offers innovative solutions for new websites to gain traction quickly, such as participating in high-authority forums, leveraging social media platforms, and collaborating with established influencers in their niche. Conclusion: Leveraging AI for Business Success In the concluding segment, Franklin encourages businesses to view AI as a tool for growth rather than a challenge to overcome. With the right strategies, AI can provide a competitive edge in SEO, helping businesses to not only survive but thrive in a digital-first world.

Unlock the secrets of SEO with Bill Sebald, our expert guest who's seen it all, from the early days of the internet to Google's current reign. With a past as colorful as his, from dreams of rock stardom to navigating the digital marketing world, Bill's insights are as unconventional as they are invaluable. We start our journey by peeling back the layers of SEO jargon, revealing the true meaning behind terms like black hat and white hat techniques, and the significant impact they have on your business's online visibility. Rather than getting tangled in algorithms, Bill advises treating SEO as a malleable marketing channel that must be constantly fine-tuned to resonate with Google's AI sophistication. This conversation isn't just about theory; it's a treasure trove of actionable strategies. Bill walks us through the evolution from the now-antiquated keyword-per-page method to a more nuanced approach of crafting topic-rich content that aligns with Google's intelligent algorithms. He introduces us to 'gel marketing', a method that champions experimental, data-driven tactics for monthly SEO sprints. Through Bill's guidance, we learn that customizing your SEO strategy is crucial—generic advice simply won't cut it in an arena that demands constantly updated techniques to stay ahead of Google's ever-changing algorithms. But longevity in SEO isn't just about quick wins; Bill drives home the importance of playing the long game. He compares investing in top-notch SEO professionals to hiring expert legal counsel; it's not cheap, but the payoff can be monumental. As we venture into the future of SEO, with AI like ChatGPT on the rise, we dissect the human element still essential in directing traffic and conversions. We close our chapter by considering the power of collaboration in the marketing sphere and leave you with a potent SEO tip that could be your game-changer. Tune in for a session packed with wisdom, wit, and a dash of rock 'n' roll. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS WITH SHORT KEY POINTS --------- (0:00:01) - Understanding SEO for Business Growth SEO expert Bill shares his journey from rock star to guru, demystifying Google's algorithm and emphasizing its importance as a marketing channel.

January is the perfect time to audit your marketing content - and it's not just a housekeeping task! Jennifer Dawkins and Kara Moon explain how a content audit can increase organic traffic and improve domain authority. A content audit is a great exercise to complete in January when you're preparing and organizing your marketing plan for the year. A content audit gets you organized and can help you align and update your messaging. I spoke with two TREW Crew members, Jennifer Dawkins, Vice President of Account Services, and Kara Moon, Senior Inbound Marketing Specialist, on the podcast who shared how they execute successful content auditing projects for our clients. First, we talk about the reasons why you should complete a content audit, including updating outdated or irrelevant content, and ensuring all content on your site reflects your current products and services. We spoke about how a content audit can uncover the common issue of having too much or not enough content for each stage of the buyer's journey. Maybe you have too much content for the lead nurturing stage, but not enough lead generation content. You may also find that a high-traffic piece of content is not relevant or bring in the wrong type of user.In this episode, you will learn:What data you need for a content auditHow to analyze that dataWhat qualitative analysis you need to completeHow to determine what content to keep, combine, or killhow often you should be auditing your contentThe benefits of a content auditResourcesConnect with Jennifer on LinkedInConnect with Kara on LinkedInConnect with Wendy on LinkedInRelated Episode: Lasso Your Content ChaosRelated Guide: An Engineer's Guide to B2B Content MarketingRegister for the Industrial Marketing SummitConnect with TREW Marketing Learn About TREW Marketing Order the book!

Accounting firms are all the same, right? Nerdy, dad-joke-telling professionals who drive sensible cars and wear beige suits to work every day. Unless they're feeling saucy, in which case they throw caution to the wind and go with the branded polo. Of course, these accounting stereotypes come straight from the '90s and, more recently, Parks and Rec. But the industry isn't exactly doing its job in busting that myth. Most accounting firms: Claim to be “more than just accountants.”  Use blue and sometimes green in their branding.  All on a mission to come across as a little more human than a calculator. Of course, we know these stereotypes don't reflect the people working in the industry. And we'd like to help. https://youtu.be/GRal1TSGuGU The Index Here at Resound, we thought it would be interesting to see exactly how differentiated—or how homogenous—the industry actually is. So we grabbed 40 data points across 1,485 accounting firms, crunched a little data, and named it the “Remarkabrand Index for Accounting Firms.” The index reflected our desire to give firms a measurable standard against which to judge their branding efforts. Basically, “Are we different, or are we undistinguishable from our competition?” Why? Because differentiation is a real challenge. Accounting firms struggle to distinguish themselves in a competitive market. And until now, there was no quantitative, benchmarking tool to objectively measure brand differentiation.  …until now. So How Did We Collect the Data? Tons and tons and tons of manual, sometimes painful, data entry (we're working on automation for this now). But other than that, it was easy. We looked at 40 data points, including SEO scores, naming conventions, word-choice differentiation (e.g. in tagline), and color and logo style ratings, to name just a few. The index revealed insights into effective differentiation strategies used by top firms. Here's an overview of the data collection: SEO via Domain Authority Score We used a standard measuring tool called Domain Authority from Moz, which acts as a good summary indicator of SEO strength. For additional context, we looked at inbound links as well. Can Small Firms Compete? Toward the end of data collection, we started asking what company size and revenue had to do with the index score. Surely, bigger firms by revenue and employee count would do better, right? We're glad we asked, because the results were a bit surprising, with many of the top-performing firms having fewer than 200 people. Visual Was Huge Through the Eyes of a Designer Some of the data wasn't so straightforward from an evaluation standpoint. After all, there's no math formula we know of to evaluate the quality of a logo or even the decade that inspired it. So we brought in the professionals. And lest you think designers are kookie, impractical, blocky-framed-non-prescription-glasses-wearing artsy types with no grounding in reality, we'll have you know…our designers are pros. And it's a good thing they are because we have deadlines. We asked them to evaluate based on design and branding principles. They tagged the logos and websites, collected colors, and, yes, even estimated the decade of the logo based on style. Does Accounting Look Old? In addition to how firms differentiate, we wanted to know: is it time for a rebrand? Has there been deferred maintenance on the brand? Who needs a new brand makeover? To get to the bottom of this, we ask a few questions: Design Era Classification:  Was the logo designed in the 2000s by a guy who's been unemployed ever since he designed the Windows 95 logo?  Was it designed only this year by a design school student who's so progressive that she lives in the future where styles from 20 years ago are cool again?  To find this out—or at least assign a decade—designers went all antiques-roadshow and used style indicators to put the logos on a timeline.

With a more authoritative domain, Google will show your website higher in search results for specific relevant queries made by users. But just increasing your traffic isn't enough; you have to capture those anonymous users and turn them into known contacts. You can do this by using strategic overlays where you present a lead magnet in return for those users' email address. In this episode (#60), I share an exclusive snippet from my 2021 course where students learned how to create more credible websites and use exit-intent popups to build their email list.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

It is possible that what works in SEO now is not what you think. Contrary to popular belief, it's not all about keywords and keyword research - though they certainly help! Today, almost everything works differently, and we're here to find out why. Craig Campbell, Glasgow's top SEO expert, joined me in this episode of the SEJ Show for a candid discussion about what's REALLY working in SEO at the moment, including a discussion around dropped domains, domain leasing, PBNs, link building, YouTube, TikTok and other media outlets that Google loves! There are a lot of domain names that are not personally branded, and you could turn them into an excellent money website in some way. Whether it be affiliate or ecommerce, it really doesn't matter. A website's a website. –Craig Campbell, 29:24 I don't even see people going to the Wayback machine recreating all your videos. Many people just slap up any old URL and brand new URLs and stuff like that. What they don't do is do the basics properly. You need to reignite that. It's run out of gas, essentially, the website. You need to reignite it –Craig Campbell, 31:23 If you ever feel like you have imposter syndrome and don't know anything about SEO, go to a room where no one knows anything about SEO. They'll all ask you questions because you will be validated immediately. –Loren Baker, 12:38   [00:00] - A little about Craig & his YouTube channel. [04:28] - What is Craig's core focus? [05:55] - How many sites did Craig launch before finding two profitable ones? [13:22] - How does it feel to be the only SEO in the room? [17:03] - What are expired domains? [30:59] - What NOT to do when buying dropped domains. [37:18] - The best way to approach expired domains. [50:39] - Is Craig noticing anything in the middle of this content update? [55:38] - How important are Domain Authority ratings and other metrics in inbound links? [58:04] - Does Craig ever look at Majestic?   Resources mentioned: Craig Campbell SEO - https://www.craigcampbellseo.com/ Odys Global - Premium Aged Domains & Websites for Sale - https://odys.global/   Typically, what I would do with any website that I bought is I would repurpose it. I might not keep the exact template and look of pictures, but what I would be doing is recreating, going through any URLs that had links pointing to them, I would be recreating those URLs. I would put the content back up from the Wayback machine and keep the website as close to what it was initially just to start to rank again for some of the terms it did have. Then link equity starts to kick back in. –Craig Campbell, 22:00 I'm not just looking at the domain name. I'm looking at the number of outbound links. I'm looking at the number of keywords that rank on that website. I'm looking at the referring domains. I'm looking at a bunch of other quality checks, and I think that part is what these guys are missing. –Craig Campbell, 32:38 Take the time to invest in an idea. It can be local, global, a $500 product, or even a $20 product, and just do it right and get it out there. Who knows, you might get addicted, and you might, if you're like Mr. Craig Campbell here, be able to flip it for 50x. Its monthly income is fantastic. –Loren Baker, 1:01:19   For more content like this, subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/searchenginejournal Are you looking to keep up with current and effective digital marketing today?
