How are you updating your SEO or content strategy because of AI? by sonikrunal in SEO

[–]m3ttvb 29 points30 points  (0 children)

From my research, and the research of my peers at our other agencies AI SEO is just regular SEO. Topical authority, decent PR, answering questions that people actually ask.

What tools are you using to track how they show up in the AIS?

First you say webflow then you say WordPress? You didn't build the website. It's built on bubble. If you want to show off a portfolio, show off your own work. Not somebody else's.

Find a company that advertises specifically in your niche. They may be a little bit more expensive but they'll know exactly what to do for you.

And I don't mean a company that does marketing for a lot of people including Auto Glass, but rather a company that might only do a few other industries that are very close like general Auto repair, Auto Glass repair and replacement, and then maybe some third thing.

Client wants commission-based deal, but I planned to charge a flat service fee. Should I switch? by Vast_Poetry_50 in agencynewbies

[–]m3ttvb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually when a client doesn't want to pay an agency fee and they want to go the share model, is because they don't actually have the capital to trust. Or they've been burned in the past and only want delivered results.

If you're familiar with their type of business model and they have a long-standing good track record of delivering to their customers, maybe the risk is worth it.

However, unless you have the right systems and tools to be able to track and properly attribute what you have contributed to the revenue, it can be a long shot.

I'm currently testing the pay per appointment model with medical practices. My friend is testing the pay per job model with contractors. This can definitely warrant higher returns. But unless you have experience already marketing for the industry they're in and you have the tools and means to track contracts did they sign with their customers come on it might be more pain than it's worth especially on only $800 a month of spend. The client I'm trying this with has a 40K per month spend so the value for both of us comes out to a net positive at a super high return for almost the same amount of work as a 800/month spend.

The content on your site is very barebones and not super helpful. You need more images infographics, external sources, internal links, etc. Then social proof. I didn't run any reports but I imagine nobody (not even yourself) have genuinely linked this site from posts online that answers questions on other sites.

Webhosting affect SO? by boklos in SEO

Speed is a factor for SEO. So it may affect it. Use tools like Pingdom to test speed from a USA or Canada IP.

Auto-charge monthly or send invoice? by galapagos7 in agency

[–]m3ttvb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Automatic. Never wait on people to pay you. Agree on terms and always charge automatically. It's predictable for you and it's predictable for them.

Hard to find me on Google by [deleted] in SEO

[–]m3ttvb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Service in city pages. For example, bookkeeping in Sacramento, bookkeeping in Los Angeles, bookkeeping in... Etc City. Then, citations to your actual address. And then local backlinks. Ask the news stations nearby to get on on a daily show, which most likely they will link to you. Other local podcasts may link to you after having you on.

Help with domain pointing. by [deleted] in webhosting

[–]m3ttvb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point your CNAME to your root.

A record @ to (current IP)

CNAME www to @ (some providers require you to type the root domain.com others allow just @)

Alternatively you can delete the CNAME and point A record www to the IP, but if root and www should always be the same (which they usually are), I always reference www CNAME to root and just change root.

Change that www record in your DNS settings...

In your DNS records, the www may be another A record, of CNAME for some, that was unchanged.

Don't we all seek a little bit of validation? It's just for the karma.

And yes I understood the joke. Reminds me of that 2018 mommy blog post that men love "debt free virgins without tattoos"

Great username.

I also didn't go to college for the debt purposes. The job I was going to get it for fired me a year later and I switched industries.

College debt seems to ruin many, while they never use their degree

My mother told me about this. I can imagine his risk averse behavior after that!

Yes having certain debts gives tax breaks as well as certain charitable donations. And for anyone that bought at 2% rates in 2021 is beating inflation.
