When I started marketing my own media publishing company, I discovered my true passion - SEO. SEO stands for "search engine optimization" and it's how websites and other digital properties are set up and presented to search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, Youtube and more - so that customers who do not KNOW a business or service by name, and when looking for a solution to the problem seemingly "stumble" across the perfect fit for them. My story starts at the point when I decided to offer the same energy and effort to help other businesses who I thought were like me and my own business.

    Greater Expectations (My Own) - Season 3, Episode 17

    Greater Expectations (My Own) - Season 3, Episode 17

    Last week the discussion focused on Client Expectations and maybe how to approach the divide with grace. This week it's about MY expectations and how to literally bulldoze the issue and "don't forget the cannoli" at the same time.



    I share the backstory on one of my first owned SEO assets that I leased out to a plumber here in Austin. What did I learn? What did I UN-learn about the situation?

    Great Expectations - Season 3, episode 16

    Returned from the SEO Spring Training 2023 conference. It was great to be away it is even better being back home. In this episode I talk about this week in the serps, some volatility, some browser vulnerabilities and a way to protect our agencies or consultancies and educate a client so well they are choosing to up their budget.

    The Being and the Doing of SEO - Season 3, Episode 15

    This week is short. I'm burning the candle at both ends - and there is no doubt that this will be obvious in my voice! What do SEOs do when you put them in a gorgeous place and leave them alone for a few days? I'll tell you.

    Are We There Yet? The End of an Update - Season 3, Episode 14

    Are We There Yet? The End of an Update - Season 3, Episode 14

    Is it over? We might have to wait a little bit more to be certain that the update roll out and check phase is complete. And we might have clues from the indexation research. I am still amazed at how the details from server logs can inform on the machine aspect of Google.

    After The Update, Season 3, Episode 13

    After The Update, Season 3, Episode 13

    So last week I said the update was over, and now Google says the update is over. I believe that. In this episode I talk about what I look for and at after an update. And then I turn my attention to what we as professional SEOs can to do support our clients and their businesses and its not doing something just to show we did something.



    Here's the updated link to the live stream. (I really need to figure out how to schedule a live zoom to connect to the youtube) - ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMuBC1V9unk



    Banking cora reports - I think this is going to be so important to help in the next update.
