Can we use competitor brand names as anchor text?

I have a genuine SEO question and I’d love to hear real-world experiences. When building backlinks in forums, comments section, etc. except guest post. Is it necessary to use a competitor’s brand name as anchor text pointing to your own site? My teammate insists on it’s a strategy to add mentions and relative to our products. I think we can write some sentences to compare our products with competitors, but using their brand as anchor text and pointing to own links is unreasonable. I am confused now. submitted by /u/Overall-Geologist459 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/W12vzah

When is it time to hire an SEO agency?

Nothing I'm doing is working for our organic search. About 6 months ago I started to spot some of our top 5 pages slowly dropping, but just brushed it off as the normal monthly organic changes. But it never stopped...Our organic traffic has come to an almost complete standstill. To say I'm freaking out a little bit is an understatement since we have never needed to do paid traffic. So I guess I just don't know my next move. It makes a lot of sense just handing it over to an SEO agency to manage it all for us. But because I've never crossed that bridge before, I don't know if it's pre-mature. 6 months of consistent dropping tells me it's time. But it would be cool to get some insight if you think not. submitted by /u/throwawayjoystix [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/52KRymc

Replit SEO is...Bad

My testing for Replit is officially complete and the results aren't great First, I should admit I love the product. Being able to prompt and push live is an incredible feature and it'll still be a useful product for staging my client's sites. I also find a lot of the backend features to be wonderful, CMS, pSEO, and quick easy edits are something that are a step function better than the Webflows and WPs of the world. But in terms of SEO, it's pretty staggering how bad it is. And I worked diligently with the team to make sure I wasn't missing anything We gave it 3 months for many sites and the impressions dropped by +80%...fortunately I don't care if these sites drop - and if I purely wanted a pretty site - I would just keep using Replit. But I almost only care about traffic and can push code directly. Thought I'd let people know in case they're seeing worse results on SEO. Anyways, back to WordPress P.S. one of my previous posts tried to get a read...
