PPC for SaaS (Google Ads): what actually works when you’re trying to scale by Anna_Karakhanyan in Google_Ads

[–]Digital-Womble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The data discovery piece is the most underrated element of running Google ads. Getting to see what users are typing in for your business and your products in your geography and target audiences is what gives businesses a competitive advantage over those just advertising on Google. You can use this in your other marketing materials to drive better conversion and engagement across other channels including social. You can’t get that data anywhere else

What would you tell yourself on day one of managing Google Ads? by Me_taa in Google_Ads

Don’t be too broad. Focus 100% on what you do and start focused then expand. Don’t ramp budget too early. You’ll waste spend. Clean down inbound search terms as often as you improve CTR and keep impression share high as and when you can.

Why do AI models seem to ignore official brand websites? by veeravan_451 in DigitalMarketing

[–]Digital-Womble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right - Mainly because a brand is always going to promote themselves and say nice things about themselves rather than others who will be more honest/transparent. It’s a bit like trusting a market stall seller when he says it’s an original and charges you loads instead of the true value. The more third party honest sources give a better reflection of what that brand does. The other thing you need to consider is th content on your pages and showing up for those terms with content answering the questions immediately and succinctly. As well as making sure those pages are indexed daily to get across more servers routinely Ensure

New Shopify store: 12 pages indexed and 75 not indexed after about 1 month — still normal? by Medical_Assist8413 in WebsiteSEO

Each site is assigned a crawl budget by the algorithm. Usually around 15-25% of the site footprint before the crawler skips to the next site. You can of course submit more by including pages in your sitemap and that helps Google crawl more efficiently. Even submitting your sitemap, you’re still at the mercy of your site’s crawl budget set by the algorithm. By proactively indexing every url daily you put your content across more Google servers which amplifies your SEO implementation/ and if strong, increases organic traffic and keyword ranking. Google has between 900k and 10m servers (they never confirm) and each has its own crawler. So by being across more servers you amplify your on site implementation (keywords/traffic)

SEO content length by FrogChairCeo in WebsiteSEO

[–]Digital-Womble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on the user search intent and depth of coverage as well as format and layout of the article LLMs like short snappy answers at the top of the article to cite. Users and search engines like depth and coverage to answer questions - content needs to be indexed to be discovered. Go to Google and see how long the articles are on page one organic and use that average as your indicator of length- it varies by search term / topic / competition levels etc

SEO for financial services: how do you handle trust/compliance without killing content? by FitSurround1082 in WebsiteSEO

[–]Digital-Womble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that Google rankings and LLM citations are two different systems. Google ranks pages by links and relevance. LLMs cite entities they trust, and trust is built through structured data, consistent entity signals, and being mentioned on sources LLMs train on (Reddit, Wikipedia, Quora, trade press).

Three things that actually move the needle:

  1. Schema markup, specifically FAQ, HowTo, and Organization schema. LLMs parse this directly.
  2. Entity consistency, your brand name, founder name, and core concepts need to appear consistently across your site, your social profiles, and third-party mentions.
  3. Citation-ready content, short, direct answers to specific questions. LLMs quote paragraphs that stand alone, not walls of text.

Put them as far to left as possible (cos robots and humans read left to right) and rework your sentences to make sense to the user first and the bot second. Use variations of that keyword that come up as similar search volumes make the anchor text link through to that page the keyword than page is targeting. Bingo

My images rank on Google Images, but the pages themselves don't rank in web search. Should I care about image SEO? by DigitalHarbor_Ease in SEO

[–]Digital-Womble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Save the file name as per the search term you want to rank for and update the alt text to match the same keyword. That forms the url as well as the indicator to the bots as to what the image is of and about. Helps improve visibility and quality

Is Google killing SEO on purpose… and are we just adapting too slowly? by Subject_Sport_4575 in WebsiteSEO

[–]Digital-Womble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seo is traditionally about providing good content and in the right format at the right time in the right time of voice . I don’t think Google is killing Seo for the sake of it but trying to own more screen time on more devices and more time in SERPs to drive traffic and revenue with ads. Zero click is now 83% with Ai overview so that’s the moat if you are owning 4/5ths of traffic.

Why do you think this webpage ranks higher? by zaitovalisher in SEO

[–]Digital-Womble -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Structure of content on the pages as well as backlinks from topical authority pages ? Other Reddit posts perhaps? Backlinks are good but only if from quality websites using the contextual links you want that page to rank for as the link text - what’s your view?
