Brilliant Directories?

Hey all, I've lurked on r/seo for years and wondered if anyone could offer some advice for a project I have planned.

I run a business in a niche part of the UK construction industry (carrying out the work itself) and plan to create a directory type website to help clients find local contractors in my spare time this year.

My experience in web development is next to zero. Studied design sporadically in college with a small bit of HTML. I've done some branding and graphic design for businesses over the years - this is mostly a hobby for me but want to develop my skills further.

I created the website for my own construction company using a simple site builder (no coding + not wordpress) and achieved some modest SEO goals over the course of a year (top ranking for London based keywords, fairly low competition).

I've looked at some directory building solutions and Brilliant Directories has stood out so far. Does anyone have experience working with this software? Especially from an SEO prospective as my plan to help clients find contractors will depend on visibility in Google. I'm willing to put the work in but don't want to be limited too much. I also don't know how much coding I would need to achieve something like this on wordpress.

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
