I have 4 full-time VA’s and would be happy to have them do some tasks for anyone here who needs something done and doesn’t want to commit to hiring someone. The prices would be fair, and I’ll be supervising the jobs.

Doug,

That was an outstanding response. I jst need to find that niche I want to pursue int he next few days. Great idea to look at national campaigns and see if they’re ranking.

I appreciate your time and effort here.

Let’s see here Tim.

for the local schema, go to schema.org and look up local business. We implement it in the footer so it goes on to all pages.  As much as you can, including hours, description,  location,  phone, category, etc.

For the data highlighter, verify with webmaster tools and look up data highlighter.  Same thing, as much info as…[Read more]

Yeah, we’ve been focusing exclusive on local clients for about 2 years now and have it down to a pretty predictable process. 

We optimize the homepage for the most profitable keywords.

Optimize the rest of the site with schema and a map embed.

Great article.  I agree with the article.  I believe that 1 in 3 businesses that have paid for SEO have been ripped off by a person who simply didn’t know what they were doing.

My mom said I should be a good fit as long as we don’t play with peanuts. I have allergies.

There’s plenty of nuts around here, but no peanuts.  Make sure to put your time availability on that list @frankschwarz 

I use a plugin called “Pretty Link” to forward the links in lieu of Bit.ly.  I can pull up the clicks by date… and it adds an extra level of protection so I don’t spam my client’s sites with links. I choose “temporary” and then “no follow”.
