LATEST NEWS

As an SEO consultant, I’ve learned what it really takes to get websites ranking at the top of Google. It requires an in-depth understanding of both search engine algorithms as well as user behavior and expectations.

Many people think SEO is all about keywords, but that couldn’t be further from the truth nowadays. Google’s algorithms have become extremely advanced and are focused primarily on understanding content and delivering the most relevant, useful pages to searchers.

That’s why the foundation of strong SEO is high-quality, valuable content that answers the searcher’s query and meets their needs. Things like keyword placement, meta tags, etc take a backseat to content that would be genuinely useful even if search engines didn’t exist.

So as you explore my site to learn SEO from an SEO consultant with extensive professional experience doing this, remember – creating amazing content is priority #1.

On this site, I’ll share my proven process for optimizing content by:

– Researching to identify searcher intents, questions, and problems
– Determining the ideal types of content for each intent
– Structuring seamless content for both searchers and algorithms
– Implementing best practices for headlines, intros, keyword placement, etc
– Editing for maximum value and engagement

But great content is only the start. You also need to master what I call “complete visibility” so search engines can fully access and understand every page.

I’ll teach SEO services techniques to:

– Choose a fast, mobile-friendly platform
– Implement an SEO-friendly information architecture
– Set up sitemaps and optimized site architecture
– Resolve indexing issues like crawl errors

Gaining complete visibility sets things up for success. But you need proven link building tactics to get pages ranking high by:

– Identifying and reaching influential sites for high-quality backlinks
– Creating persuasive pitches tailored for webmasters
– Getting featured as a guest author on authority domains
– Promoting content to earn editorial links
– Building a diverse backlink profile

Proper internal linking equally important, and I teach a methodology for skillfully interlinking related pages to boost SEO strength.

There are also conversion optimizations like site speed, UI/UX design, call-to-action content, and more. Plus staying updated as algorithms evolve.

Effective SEO encompasses many evolving aspects. That’s why as a freelance SEO consultant, I’ve dedicated myself to distilling complexity into easily-understood, actionable advice clients can apply to rank higher.

Any website implementing even some of what I teach can outperform most other sites in their space.

So whether you’re a business owner, marketer, agency pro, or site operator, I encourage you to browse my SEO services content and training. See what catches your eye, then put one new tactic into play each week.

Do that consistently for 6-12 months applying my SEO expertise as a consultant, and you may be shocked at what you accomplish!

Now dive in and let my SEO guidance lead you page-by-page to search engine success…

As I covered recently on my blog, Google’s latest update rewards the most useful, credible content while suppressing low-value pages awkwardly stuffed with keywords.

So I’ll teach you how freelance SEO consultants create truly HELPFUL content from the ground up…

It starts with detailed audience research to uncover the top questions, problems, desires, emotions and needs of your readers. This clarity is power when shaping content!

The insights help form ideas matched to searcher INTENT. I’ll reveal formats blending advice, education, motivation and even entertainment into content impossible for Google to ignore.

Then you need to express all forms with tight focus readers immediately grasp. Carefully frame each piece around specific problems, questions or goals. Promise utility meeting those needs in the headline and intro.

Flow body content directly from this focus, remaining centered on serving reader needs while organically working in target keywords.

As an SEO consultant I’ve been perfecting article, guide and video structures focused on ultra-useful angles. I’m thrilled to finally share proven templates, headline formulas, sequencing tactics, calls to action and more that produce content search engines LOVE to rank…
