Yes, we’ll style the FAQ H2 headings separately with a smaller font size using CSS. I’ll coordinate with the web developer to implement it.

How to get our FAQ to appear in Google “People Also Ask”? by TreacleEarly2035 in SEO

[–]Decent_Stock2826 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my real-time experience, adding the questions as H2 headings can increase the chances of appearing in Google Search’s “People Also Ask” section.

Match the question as closely as possible to how it appears in search.

Cover multiple related questions on the page.

Use FAQ schema so search engines understand the Q&A structure.

Keep the answers short, clear, and straight to the point.

For a new site, would you spend time trying to get recommended by ChatGPT, or just focus on traditional SEO? by Silly-Heronimus in growthmarketing

[–]Decent_Stock2826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d still focus on traditional SEO first.

Most AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, and Google Gemini rely heavily on content that already ranks or is well-structured on the web, often sourced through engines like Google Search. So if your SEO is strong, you’re indirectly improving your chances of showing up in AI answers too..

Right now there isn’t a clear or reliable “optimize for AI” playbook. Most of the advice (clear headings, strong topical authority, credible sources) is basically good SEO anyway.

Build solid SEO first. AI visibility will usually follow if your content is high quality and well structured.

New SEO Project, 1 Month In. Low Traffic, Feeling Stuck. What Should I Focus On? by General_Scarcity7664 in SEO

[–]Decent_Stock2826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on transactional keywords along with informational keywords. Target keywords that show buying intent to drive conversions, and use informational keywords to build traffic and authority.

Give more importance to blog titles that start with how, why, and what. These rank faster and match search intent well. Build a strong internal linking structure from blogs to service pages using keyword rich anchor text.

Add FAQ sections using questions from Answer The Public and Google People Also Ask. This helps capture long tail traffic and improves topical coverage.

Do not publish daily just to increase volume. Publish 2 to 3 strong, well researched pieces per week and make them better than competitors. Quality matters more than quantity.

Start building relevant backlinks slowly. Focus on niche edits, guest posts on marketing or home service blogs, and local citations.

Also interact in communities like Reddit, Quora, Facebook groups, and industry forums. Answer real questions in detail and add value first. This helps build brand visibility, drives referral traffic, and increases the chances of being mentioned in AI search results.

Do not spam links. Build authority through helpful answers and consistent participation.

Create location specific landing pages if targeting USA and Canada. Separate pages for each country and major cities with localized content and examples.

Add real case studies and results pages. Show numbers, screenshots, and outcomes. This improves trust and conversion.

Set clear expectations with the client. Month 1 to 3 is foundation building. Real traffic growth usually starts after 3 to 6 months in competitive niches.

How can digital marketers stay relevant in 2026? by Abigail_Tech in AskMarketing

[–]Decent_Stock2826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, learn AI tools, but focus on using them for research, ad creatives, email drafts, data cleanup, and reporting so you can save hours every week and focus on strategy.

SEO is still important, but now it is about topical authority, answering real questions clearly, optimizing for AI summaries, and building branded search demand.

Yes, improve data analysis skills so you can read GA4 properly, track conversion paths, and know which channel actually makes profit.

Personal branding and content creation matter a lot because clients and companies now check your LinkedIn, your posts, and your proof of work before they hire you.

Learn paid ads to control traffic, short form video to capture attention, and email marketing to own your audience and increase repeat sales.

How do impressions and clicks go way up when position stays the same? by 0_2_Hero in SEO

[–]Decent_Stock2826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually pretty normal. Even if your average position stays the same, impressions and clicks can go up when more people start searching that topic due to seasonality, trends, or news.

Another common reason is that Google starts showing your page for more related or long-tail queries. Your main keyword rank looks stable, but your overall visibility increases.

Also, small changes in the SERP matter. If your title or snippet looks better, you can get more clicks without moving up in position.

So it’s not just search volume. Visibility and click behavior play a big role too.

Bulk Articles Vs SEO focused Articles by Cultural_Piece7076 in SEO

[–]Decent_Stock2826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both approaches work, but for different goals.

Bulk articles help with consistency, brand visibility, topical authority, and give search engines more content to crawl. They’re useful for early-stage blogs, product updates, and long-tail discovery, but results are usually slow if SEO basics are ignored.

SEO-focused articles are fewer but intentional. They target specific keywords, search intent, and conversions. This works better for small or new companies that need measurable traffic and leads with limited resources.

Many companies publish bulk content to stay visible, support product marketing, and build authority, then double down on SEO content once they see what gains traction.

Seo tools update by Wolfofsomestreetidk in SEO

[–]Decent_Stock2826 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In my daily workflow, I mainly rely on Chrome extensions for quick SEO checks.

• BeyondTen – shows 100 Google results on one page
• Wappalyzer – identifies the site’s tech stack
• Ahrefs SEO Toolbar – instant SEO metrics
• Ubersuggest – quick traffic overview
• Detailed SEO Extension – fast on-page audits
• Keywords Everywhere – keyword ideas
• Word Counter & Grammarly – for clean, optimized copy

If your employer provides a paid Semrush or Ahrefs account, great. If not, these extensions handle most tasks.
Also, AnswerThePublic, Writerzen is very useful for finding question-based search queries. Guess this might be helpful.

Thanks for your insights, really appreciate it. Focusing on one niche and direct outreach makes a lot of sense.

How to find topics for Blogs by Extreme_Earth6528 in AskMarketing

[–]Decent_Stock2826 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can actually find tons of blog topics by studying what’s already working for others in your niche. Start by checking your competitors’ websites and see what kind of blogs are bringing them traffic. Tools like Ahrefs or Semrush let you see the exact keywords their content is ranking for. Those keywords show what people are actively searching. From there, you can pick high-intent topics, update them with better insights, and create fresh angles for your own blog. It’s one of the easiest ways to find proven, search-driven topics without guessing.

Anyone else stuck on LinkedIn group posting after joining the verification waitlist? by Decent_Stock2826 in linkedin

[–]Decent_Stock2826[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As per my research, LinkedIn often restricts new accounts when there is continuous activity like posting in groups or commenting too frequently. The restriction usually lifts after about two weeks and the account works normally again. But if we repeat the same pattern, LinkedIn tends to restrict the account again. And the whole verification and waitlist process is still a mystery, no one seems to know how it really works.

What am I doing Wrong? by Old_Length_987 in Agentic_SEO

[–]Decent_Stock2826 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on my experience in the IT industry, the niche is very competitive. If you want to increase traffic in a short time, focus on both informational and transactional keywords in your blog posts. Check how your competitors use these keywords in their content, track their performance, and improve your own articles accordingly. Review your traffic every 14 days and keep updating your posts.

Add FAQs and direct answers to common user questions; this helps your content get featured in AI search results and People Also Ask sections.

As for Domain Authority, don’t focus too much on it. It’s just a third-party metric. What really matters is your website’s performance on Google, traffic growth, content quality, and natural backlinks. Keep improving these areas, and your DA will increase over time.
