RIP SEO - Please take a moment of silence

Like many of you - you've seen the many red flags and warning signs that SEO is over - its been dying since twitter emerged in 2007....

Recently a number of old world marketers - mesmerized by LLMs, another technology they dont understand have declared SEO dead. Amazingly - they didnt go far enough to declare PPC dead - which would have wiped Google's shares out of existence - so luckily PPC exists.

I have data from my own tiny SEO blog that I started investing time in about 2 years ago - 2 years after emerging from a decade of FTE. I know its silly to try to utilize data for such a visionary call - but it seems fitting. Obviously when faced with Emotional Data, actual data is often just fake news - supporting alternative and unimportant facts for people who just need SEO to die because - well - because they dont like it and its stupid and nobody clicks on Google results anyway.

Well, I have the receipts. Again - I know - my domain is TINY. I have a DA < 25 - so I am missing MILLIONS of search phrases around SEO - and I dont rank for "SEO" in the top 100 positions - but I think this speaks for itself and if you read the graph - its been going down steadily without even needing the SEO core updates to help it.

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

GMB territory inching with service company

Seeking advice on extending our service area, while our main GMB profile states SD County, we only rank in our neighborhood but we have the team to service much more jobs. The boss wants us to get addresses in these hot territories within the county and use call rail numbers to validate the GMB profile. Question: Does this still work? Will it catch up with us? OR is there a better way to rank in a territory for a service. We are 4.9 stars with 120+ reviews submitted by /u/SoCal619TradesPro [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/9RWmh6i
