From Being Laughed At As A Pizza Delivery Guy To Finally Out Earning My Peers

So roughly 2 years ago I was a broke college student who made a lot less than my peers who decided to not go to school and essentially worked their regular jobs for the years I was gone. Now because of this many of them had received promotions or raises and were making more than any job I could get at the time, and why is this relevant you may ask? Well as the summer was coming to an end I decided in my last few weeks I would get a job as a pizza guy. Obviously not anything I planned to do long-term but my friends clowned me endlessly about it posting memes of me working there, calling me delivery boy, and once when one of them had gotten angry he just threw out "well yeah I make more money than you so now what" it all was extremely frustrating to me.

Now when I went back to college obviously I didn't have a job because I would end up quitting my pizza gig as planned, but I decided that I didn't want to work other jobs like that. Not because of my friends but because they just didn't care for me as an employee and the pay was terrible on top of that. I ended up starting my own business and SEO agency that I would pilot as a one-man team. I never really thought it would ever amount to anything but I ended up sticking to it for the last 3 years and not only did it help me land an agency gig once I graduated but I continued to work this business on the side until it eventually became my main form of income. I've since landed about 6-7 active clients for my business and while I've never cared about the money I will say I do bring it up to my friends every now and then telling them "Hey remember when you made fun of me for working as a pizza delivery guy?" they normally get defensive saying "Nah man I would never" and this that and the other. But it feels good to prove people wrong not because I make more but because I've made more of myself and the journey I've taken.

This story isn't to sell any service or garbage in fact feel free to trash on SEO here, but the point is keep grinding and you'll make it happen. Hopefully, this motivates anyone out there who felt the shame of being looked down upon by their peers

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...
