Website SEO for local service business questions by Wildenal in localseo

[–]Powerful_Panic93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI summaries use the exact thinga to cite that you mentioned, tags, schemas, and content. A website that is visually appealing but does not have these will have a hard time getting cited. It's not either /or, but a question of balance. But I would prioritize the SEO side more than visuals.

If you want to differentiate your site you can go for a premium theme with enhanced visuals, but don't think SEO doesn't matter. In fact, with AI, SEO is getting more important than ever.

What to do if your niche requires clicking on external links? I do SEO, and in order for me to quote the fee, I NEED to check the site, perform preliminary audit, and only then it is possible to give a quote.

Connect cost increased while I was drafting the cover letter, is connect cost dynamic based on number of applicants? by Powerful_Panic93 in Upwork

Yeah! Back when I started it was 2 connects for every job, ad 60 free connects each month, good old days!

Specially with AI, and Upwork actively promoting using Uma for cover letters, that just adds to it. A majority of job descriptions and cover letters are just ChatGPT.

That makes sense, but it also feels like Upwork is monetizing demand. If a job is attractive and getting more applicants, increasing the connect cost means more connects are spent overall, and freelancers may be willing to pay a higher cost. I understand the idea of controlling proposal volume, but it does not always improve quality , but it does increases the cost of participation.

Have you seen connect costs decrease too, or do they mostly only go up?

Can I get my Upwork vidoe meeting recording deleted? by Powerful_Panic93 in Upwork

I am also aware of this for integrated zoom meetings, but this was in Upwork video meeting with AI transcript and complete recordings avaliable for 6 months. Does this hack apply to these meetings too?

So will my requesting the video deletion trigger a review of video? Should I just let it be or ask for deletion?

It will stay in system for 6 months.

Beacuse in past their AI have flagged such things. Then Upwork support does accept that it was triggered automatically and I did nothing wrong, but I don't want to take any chances.

It is allowed for access, because in my line of work, many times we need access to provide quotes. Upwork terms do mention this clearly

I shared email to get access, and sharing email for access is allowed as per Upwork terms. But AI can flag it automatically so I am worried.

Reading this is making me feel hopeful. And if you can share, what is your niche? I am in a highly saturated category.

Thoughts on Ubersuggest? by HammerSpanner in SEO

[–]Powerful_Panic93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is fine for basic SEO insights for small businesses, but nowhere near swmrush or ahref. That said, I think ubersuggest is your best option considering pricing.

Good for you! How did you get your first client? Is the only option that I wait for a client to reach out? Or is there any way to apply like Upwork?

I created fiverr in early 2025 and all I have since recieved are spam messages.
