4 local review trends to watch in 2021 - 0 views

  • The changing distribution of middle star reviews means that it’s more critical than ever for businesses to create a review program to solicit a larger volume of reviews from people who may not have thought to leave one before.
  • BrightLocal’s 2020 edition of their annual survey to over 1,000 users in the US, 79% of consumers say they trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations from friends or family. However, if we look at the overall trend, we can see that 10% fewer respondents trust online reviews compared to 2014.
  • Users are more web-savvy than ever, and they can tell when there are suspicious patterns in reviews–like when a business has all 5-star reviews that were submitted all within the same time period. However, it also means that consumers can sort through potentially negative or fake reviews as one-offs when one or two individuals were perhaps having a bad day and took it out on your business.

  • With reviews still believed to be a local SEO ranking factor, it’s important for businesses to not ignore the importance that reviews still have in the local pack–even if customer sentiment regarding reviews is slowly shifting, especially with the pandemic. The data also proves that it’s more important than ever for small businesses to implement a review solicitation strategy that follows each platform’s terms of service.

When Choosing Marketing Channels, Visualize the Curve | SparkToro - 0 views

  • a dangerous myth running around the entrepreneurial, small business, and marketing worlds perpetuating the idea that you can take a small/new brand and profitably, reliably acquire customers through either content+SEO or ads alone. Don’t get me wrong: it’s not impossible.
  • if they invest in content+SEO without any existing coverage, traction, brand awareness, or audience, the odds of getting visitors to see that content, or Google to rank it, are vanishingly small.
  • As you build up a marketing engine, earn traction, grow your brand, and build audiences that know you, like you, and prefer you when they see your ads/content/website/name, both ads and content tend to work better. That’s because the major platforms reward brands that earn higher-than-average engagement (in organic results and ads) with higher rankings, lower costs-per-click, and more visibility.

  • chances are, you’ll need to build your brand first, then slowly dip your toes into advertising, likely starting with re-targeting audiences that have already visited your site via organic channels or given you their email.
  • most of the time with new ventures, local businesses, and small organizations, neither the ranking authority nor the audience are present yet. Thus, content and SEO become long-term, slow-investment channels (and, tragically, most give up on them long before they start paying dividends).
  • “Influence Marketing,” is what I’m calling the process of finding sources of influence (blogs, websites, email newsletters, social accounts, podcasts, YouTube channels, events, webinars, etc) that already reach your target audience and pitching them for coverage, publishing opportunities, or sponsorship.

404 (Page Not Found) errors - Search Console Help - 0 views

  • Many (most?) 404 errors are not worth fixing because 404s don't harm your site's indexing or ranking.
  • Don't create fake content, redirect to your homepage, or use robots.txt to block 404s—all of these things make it harder for us to recognize your site’s structure and process it properly.

Sitemaps & SEO: Are Sitemaps Still Important for SEO in 2019? - 0 views

  • <loc> and <lastmod>. These two tags are very important, so make sure you add them to your sitemap!
  • You can differentiate via the user agent and show an HTML sitemap instead if a real person visits the page.   Yoast SEO already does this. Visiting a /sitemap_index.xml file on a WordPress website will return an HTML sitemap, while hitting CTRL + U to view the source will return the actual XML sitemap.
  • Google limits that to only 10MB so make sure your file doesn’t have more than 50,000 URLs and 10MB

What is your strategy to keep your xml sitemap up-to-date on a large ever changing website / forum? : SEO - 0 views

  • Automate it on your backend (generate the files based on your local database). That way you can ping sitemap files immediately when something changes, and you have an exact last-modification date. Don't crawl your own site, Google already does that.
  • Wordpress sitemaps generators tend to do this across the board, since they have access to the site's database directly. There are various of those out there, some of them are integrated into more general plugins too
