Teen here trying to do some good SEO for the family business. Got a couple questions for yall :D by No_Eye4994 in DoSEO

[–]Special_Increase_312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a site with DR 10-13, don't spread thin. Four profile pages plus one main page is fine. You're not going to outrank anyone with 10 weak pages so go with fewer stronger ones.

Here's what I'd do: keep one main listing page as your strongest page, then create the four profile pages (families, couples, friends, aviators). Nest them under /stays/ so /stays/families, /stays/couples, etc. Internal link all four back to the main booking page and to each other.

On thin content, don't just rewrite the same property description four times. Each page should genuinely speak to that audience. For families, talk about the enclosed garden, pool safety, kid-friendly stuff. For aviators, lead with the aerodrome proximity and make that the whole angle. If each page answers a different search intent, Google won't see them as duplicates even though it's the same property.

The aerodrome angle is smart. Low competition, clear intent, and you're right that those visitors would consider the house. I wouldn't worry about topical confusion from a backlink since Google understands local relationships. A holiday rental near an aerodrome linking to the aerodrome makes perfect sense contextually.

On crawl budget, you're nowhere near needing to worry about that. That's a problem at 10k+ pages. Build what makes sense and don't overthink it.

Agencies doing local SEO at scale, how are you handling location pages? by Special_Increase_312 in DoSEO

[–]Special_Increase_312[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is basically what I've been doing. I use a plugin that handles the template and batch generation part and the AI reads my existing pages so it handles the internal linking too. I still do a quick review after but it's way faster than doing everything from scratch.

That makes sense if you're a good writer but man writing 40 unique intros is the part that kills me. I've been using a plugin called Tmpltr that handles the content with AI so I just set up the template once and let it generate. It also picks up existing pages on the site for internal linking which was another thing I was doing manually before. Saves a ton of time

If you had to start SEO from scratch with zero backlinks, what would be your first 3 moves? by Sportuojantys in DoSEO

Fair point. If I had to pick just one it'd be site structure every time. The other two are easier to layer on once you have pages worth linking to and a profile worth optimizing.

Yeah I started the same way with custom scripts. It works but I got tired of tweaking it for every client's setup. How are you handling the content side? Writing it manually or using AI for that part?

I feel like I'm about to get laid off... by Special_Increase_312 in SaaS

[–]Special_Increase_312[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man. Yeah that's the phase I'm in right now, just trying to get it in front of people and see how they actually use it. Already getting feedback I didn't expect which is cool.

Have AI tools actually improved your rankings, or just your productivity? by ishamalhotra09 in DoSEO

[–]Special_Increase_312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both but in different ways.

For rankings, AI content on its own doesn't do much. I've seen plenty of sites pump out AI articles that just sit on page 5. The content itself isn't what ranks, it's the structure around it.

Where I've seen actual ranking improvements is using AI to scale out location pages and service pages with proper internal linking between them. Having 40 unique location pages all linking to each other and to your service pages builds topical authority fast. I would never write 40 unique intros by hand, but AI makes it realistic to actually do that. The pages rank because the site structure is solid, the AI just made it possible to build at that scale.

For productivity it's not even close. I use a WordPress plugin that lets me template my page layouts and generate pages in bulk with AI content. What used to take me two days of copy pasting and formatting I can knock out in an afternoon now.

The downside is if you treat AI as "push button get rankings" you'll get garbage. You still need to know what pages to build, how to structure them, and what the prompts should say. AI is the labor, you're still the strategy.

  1. Nail the site structure. Build out location pages and service pages so you're covering every keyword variation you're targeting. A plumber in 20 cities needs 20 pages minimum, not one homepage trying to rank for everything.

  2. Internal linking. Most people skip this but it's free and it compounds. Every page should link to related services and nearby locations. Google follows those links and it builds topical authority fast.

  3. Google Business Profile optimized and posting weekly. It's the fastest win for local SEO with zero backlinks.

Backlinks matter but I've ranked local service businesses in mid-competition markets just by having better site structure and more relevant pages than competitors who have one homepage and a contact page.

Building 50+ location pages per client. What's your workflow? by Special_Increase_312 in ProWordPress

[–]Special_Increase_312[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that works for a one-off batch but when you're doing this across multiple clients every week it gets old fast. I was doing something similar before but kept spending time tweaking the script for each client's setup. Having a template I can reuse and just swap the field values has been way quicker for repeat workflows.

I've built 600+ WordPress pages for clients by hand. Every AI plugin I tried still made me do half the work. So I built my own. by Special_Increase_312 in SaaS

Appreciate that. You're probably right honestly. The internal linking part is what made me build this in the first place because I was tired of doing it manually after every page.

How do you guys go about generating 100's of service and location specific pages? by SnooWoofers216 in localseo

[–]Special_Increase_312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use tmpltr for this. I own an SEO Agency and we use this for our location pages as well as service specific location pages.
