Search Atlas Otto

TL;DR New-ish SEO for small company, unlucky with backlinking, boss wants to try Search Atlas Otto. Good idea? Bad idea?

Hey folks. I've been doing SEO and front-end web dev for about a year for a small roofing company in Texas. Most of my job I've been learning as I go, which my boss knew and supported.

I essentially replaced a third-party company that was doing a bad job. Every page of our site had the same title and meta description, all using stock photos. Blog posts were clearly AI written, stuffed with keywords, and posted at unpredictable times (like 4 in one day then none for 5 weeks). Through them we had a lot of backlinks but they were all sketchy directory websites. The first chunk of my work was just cleaning up their mess, getting us off of scammy sites, and making sure our home page didn't describe spa services (true story).

So now we need backlinks. I have reached out to organizations we are a part of, to companies we partner with, and to local businesses we want to promote in hopes of building reputable backlinks. The issue is that I don't hear back from anyone. So my boss is toying with the idea of Search Atlas Otto, primarily for backlinking suggestions. Does anyone have any insight?

I currently use SemRush and though I kind of hate the UX, I've gotten used to it. My concern here is that Otto would provide the same things, and backlinking will remain at a standstill.

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...
