#Facebook is still useful for local stuff. but it’s not as anonymous I guess

[always-a-slut-4-ghouls]

On tumblr when you post you’re just playing Russian roulette with your post getting attention, but it’ll probably get ignored.

On Reddit any comment you make outside of some very niche community will immediately have someone downvoting you and calling you like, three different insults. Then they will wonder why you only log in every couple months. Like, it’s a very helpful website when you have a question for another community you’re in, but you’ll also get someone being immediately hostile when you make an innocuous post on a garden subreddit 😑

At least on tumblr people have to actually seek out your random ass text posts and go out of their way to start shit, and you don’t have the up and down vote system that feels like playing with my self confidence and worth issues.

Both websites are toxic part of the time (what social media isn’t?) and both are actually more useful for weird people, but holy shit does Reddit feel more aggressive about shit. Maybe it’s just the devil you know, but at least on this mess of a website half your hate will be for the most random shit and misunderstandings that people have to seek out finding if your blog is a normal size. Reddit is either posting on a dead sub or getting immediately thrown to the, well, sharks and wolves aren’t actually super aggressive towards humans under normal circumstances, so something else that could tear you apart instantly for just existing in the same space as them.

Solstice pt 1: Twilight AU

This is an expansion of the Twilight universe with my OC characters!

                                    home is where the heart is

                                    and i’m afraid

                                   i’ve lost my way

Samson

“Why do you think you’ll win? I know when you’re bluffing,” I chided, laughing. Esther rolled her eyes with mild amusement. Esther is the most competitive one in our family and she always tries to best me in poker, despite the fact that I have the gift for sniffing out inauthenticity. 

“‘Cus you suck at poker,” Esther pulled up the corner of her lips in a slight smirk and laid out her winning hand. 

“Har har,” I huffed in frustration. I felt my eyebrows furrow as I realized what was happening. “You assholes!” I exclaimed. Suddenly, the cards of Esther’s winning hand became fuzzy and resembled a glitching computer monitor and then smoothed out into her true, losing hand. I looked up at Esther who was nearly hysterical, tears in her golden eyes from laughing and clutching Chip’s arm. 

“Sorry, brother,” Chip smiled softly and brushed a lock that fell out of Esther’s bun and brushed it behind her ear. I booed loudly and pushed the deck of cards off the dining table between Esther and me in mock anger. 

“Clean that up, Sam,” Sunny said to me without even looking in my direction as she walked past with a basket of laundry. Sunny liked to blend in more than the rest of us. “Keeps us humble,” is one of her favorite phrases. Sunny is the matriarch of our family, even though she is the youngest of us. Technically. 

“Sam, if you couldn’t cheat, you would be terrible at poker,” Stella yelled from her upstairs bedroom. Stella didn’t need to yell, she could even whisper it and we would be able to hear her. But, Sunny forces us to act human at all times, even in our own house. Where no one can see us. Or hear us. Sunny’s word is law.

If I was human, I would be panting from running this hard and far. Actually, if I was human I couldn’t run like this at all. I still let air rush in and out of my lungs naturally, tasting the forest around me. I had been feeling the urge to see the ocean lately. I miss home. But, I can’t go back there for a lot of reasons. Mainly because it’s always sunny down there. So, the Oregon coast is perfect for my needs, it’s overcast here the majority of the time. And it felt familiar here, the beach was always a constant for me until I died.

 I have been on the run for three years. That is so dramatic to say, but it’s true. I’ve been through nearly all of California, eastern Oregon, and about every rural area in Washington. I haven’t been around the general public in what seems like forever. If forever means three years and three hundred and sixty-two days. I’ve missed normalcy. I’ve missed being able to call a place my own. I miss belonging to something.

The trees began to clear as the river widened and gray light bled between the branches above as they became more sparse. I slowed down into a more relaxed jog, my damp hair starting to cling from my shoulders all the way to the small of my back. I relaxed my pace completely as I could see the river desperately reaching the ocean, letting my bare feet sink into the mossy and wet forest floor. I walked slowly until the ground turned into sand. I tilted my face up towards the sky and let the gentle rain kiss my face. 

The waves crashing is familiar and it eased some of my longing. Longing? God, I’ve become so pretentious. In my human life, I couldn’t stand being alone for longer than hours and now I’ve gone years. I guess loneliness changes you. 

While I was roaming in Washington, I heard there were vampires who tried to pretend to be humans and go to school and stuff. I was transformed only a year after I graduated high school and I didn’t get the chance to go to college. I had my eyes on the University of California, Los Angeles. But, here I am. Not alive, but also alive. On a beach. In the middle of fucking nowhere. 

“Hey! Aren’t you cold?” A voice called out to me from down the beach. I’ve been practicing for this. I turned my head slowly, trying to be careful of the speed of my movements. I looked down at myself briefly. I was wearing a thin, gray sweater with jeans. And barefoot. It’s probably in the low forties right now and getting colder. So much for attempting to blend in. I looked back at their direction and while I was definitely too far away, I smiled tentatively at them. 

“Got thick skin!” I yelled back, shrugging. The person behind the voice was an older man, the wind carried his scent towards me. I could smell the warm blood and as he slowly approached me, I could hear his faint heartbeat. It would be too easy. In half a second I would be right in front of him, pushing his head back to expose his neck. His red cap would fall off and in my frenzy, I would probably tear apart his windbreaker. Blood on the sand. My eyes red. 

Nope, nope, nope. I’ve gone three years without tasting human blood. I’m not going to fuck this up now. I turned on my heel and went back to the forest, as soon as I was certain I was covered by the thick swarm of trees I took off sprinting. 

Where am I supposed to go now? I need to get better clothes to blend in. I need to find a place to live. “Live”. To be frank, I had it pretty easy. I never had to worry about this kind of stuff. In the distance, I can hear cars sporadically driving on the wet pavement. If there are cars, there are people and if there are people, there are clothing stores and libraries. I changed my direction in order to run parallel to the highway giving myself about a half a mile distance between me and the road. 

It wasn’t much longer, maybe twenty miles or so before I saw neon light tinge the fog and the smell of car exhaust got stronger. Smelled disgusting. I thought about how I would be able to wander into some random mom and pop shop to get clothes without sticking out. I’ve been practicing my self control but it’s much easier when I hold my breath. How can I go without talking to the small town locals without seeming like a bitch? I guess the only thing I can do is hope what they say about first impressions isn’t true. 

Luckily enough for me, the river, which had dwindled down to a creek, ran close enough to the highway so I could wash my feet and legs so I could look less dirty and homely. Unfortunately, about every person I passed stared at me. Everyone has dressed appropriately for the wintery beach weather. Except for me. 

The first clothing shop that looked like it could have clothes for people “my age” and nearly completely empty was the first one I walked into. I bought nearly everything. Well, bought is a loose term. It was about four days after my transformation that I realized I had an ability. A “super talent” he called it. If I want someone to do something I want, they do it. It’s never something intense like falling in love with me or giving me their kidney or anything like that. It’s small stuff like if I want their approval I got it. If I want their coffee, they hand it over. Small stuff like that. 

The shopkeeper handed over around six hundred dollars in merchandise with a bright smile on her face. I made a mental note to make an anonymous donation as soon as possible. Sometimes I felt bad about swindling people, sometimes I felt like it was a necessary evil. A girl’s gotta do what she’s gotta do. 

It wasn’t that hard finding the library after the shops, and lucky for me, the librarian allowed me to stash my shopping bags behind her desk. The public computer whirred to life slowly, I could practically hear the viruses worming around. I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking for, or even where. I tried local listings, Craigslist, even some dark web shit. It wasn’t until I caved and made a fake Facebook account that I was able to find a single bedroom apartment to rent. 

The man who owned the place was rather kind. I hardly had to use my ability to sway him to let me live rent free for the next foreseeable future. His name was Ernie and he had quite the beer belly and a bald spot on the back of his head, reminding me vaguely of a freshly cracked egg.  I assume that he felt quite flattered that I was flirting with him. Actually, it could have been the innate human experience of being my prey who is inevitably lured to his death by my inhuman womanly charm. Who could say?

The apartment was painfully small but fully furnished. I couldn’t say if it was fully furnished as a part of the lease, which I did not have, or my newfound landlord was just too caught up in our conversation. I’ve been told I dazzle people. Whatever that means. A large full length mirror hung in the bedroom and I took a full look at myself for the first time in a long time. 

My dirty blonde hair was a mess. I think I can see a dread forming in the curly mess. My black eyes peered back at me in disbelief, how could I let myself go like this? Dark circles clung around my eyes covering the splatter of freckles on my face, I looked like I hadn’t slept in weeks. More like years, I chuckled to myself. I need to feed soon. An uncommitted corner of my mind thought aimlessly about what animals are in my vicinity. The other portion of my mind looked back in the mirror. I still was pale as before, still more beautiful than I ever was as a human. It’s weird, feeling this conceited but it was true. My very nature was to lure humans in, even more so with my ability. I can get humans to literally lay before me, neck exposed. But, I promised myself a while ago to never feed on humans again. 

This place was definitely not intended to be left fully furnished, a laptop laid on the desk in my new bedroom. I realized I never learned about this town before I decided on it. The ocean picked me. I wiped the laptop and set it up under my preferences. This time, password protected. My google search reminded me I’m currently in Brookings, Oregon. I had made a mental note earlier when I saw the welcome sign out of the corner of my eye on my way into town. 

Oh, perfect! I exclaimed internally. There is a local community college that happened to offer marine biology courses. Marine biology was my intended major before this happened to me. Maybe this is a sign. Maybe I’m being an idiot and making stupid choices by surrounding myself with humans. But, honestly, I’m lonely and I don’t think I can take this punishment much longer. 

Part 2

[comicsinkcorporated-blog]

Interview with Screaming Villains, developer of Night Trap 25th anniversary.

CI: So how did development for Night Trap 25th anniversary first come about?

SV: It honestly started out as sort of a joke. Sometime after the failed Kickstarter, hardcore fans started attempting to recreate their own remake of Night Trap and some gaming sites were writing articles about it which I found kind of odd especially since they either didn't work or barely worked. I was already messing around with FMV stuff as a hobby and a friend of mine came up with the idea of myself making a working version running on a phone.

I threw it together in about 3-4 days, posted a video of myself playing it on Youtube and sort of remained anonymous about it. I got a local arcade owner that I know to post the video on his Facebook account since he was friends with an absurd amount of retro gamers and it started to spread and got about 5000 views within the first 24 hours.

The website fmvworld.com found it too and decided to contact Rob Fulop (one of the creators of Night Trap) to get his opinion on it. Another website called segabits.com also contacted Tom Zito (producer of Night Trap) to find out if he had any involvement so that sort of put me on their radar. After that I figured "what the hell?" and sent an email to Tom at about 3am and got a response in about 15 minutes. He just asked a couple of questions about it and asked for my phone number. The next day, he called me and 20 minutes into the conversation he asked if I would like to do an official version and I said yes.

CI: Limited Run Games PS4 version of Night Trap remains their fastest selling game, while the Nintendo Switch version may end up being their best selling game. Were you surprised by the popularity of this remaster?

SV: I don't think anyone was expecting that. It just came out of nowhere which I think helped a lot so thank god my friends were able to keep their mouth shut while I was working on it. Originally, there was only going to be 5000 copies of the game available. Once the announcement was made Josh Fairhurst from Limited Run Games and myself were pretty much stuck on Twitter the entire day so we definitely wasn't expecting the reaction it got.

After that, Josh said something like "We might need to increase the quantity" which at the time I don't think they ever exceeded 5000 on a game so it got bumped up to 6000. After that, he came back again and said "Maybe we should add a collectors edition" so now we're at 8000 for PS4. Then it was "Let's release a big box version for PC" so now there's another 2000. It just kept growing and growing and still didn't meet demand. What's funny is the guy that made the announcement trailer and myself was constantly googling Night Trap that day just to see what was being said but then we went to the trending section on Youtube and we're like "Oh my god! The trailer is trending higher than Gucci Mane!" For a brief moment a game that a lot of people considered terrible was all of a sudden popular and I think that's rad.

CI: What do you think it is about Night Trap that has made it so beloved amongst fans?

SV: It has a b-movie feel to it and doesn't take itself seriously. A lot of hate that it gets is sort of undeserving. The popular ones are usually "this is barely a game" or "this has bad acting". NT was made 5 years before it was finally released and intended for a console that used VHS tapes and the acting is very similar to 80's horror/thriller films. Unfortunately, it was the wrong time period when it was finally released in 1992 and at that point nobody was really reminiscing about the 80's like they do today. The fans that are super hardcore about Night Trap are usually gamers that have a great interest in movies in general. What surprised me was the number of people that I've talked to that said Digital Pictures influenced them to pursue a career in the film or tv industry.

CI: Were there any notable, unforeseen difficulties during development?

SV: Engine restrictions was the biggest issue. I figured out pretty quickly that a lot of the gaming engines available weren't really designed with FMV in mind so because of this I think the video quality suffered more than I would've liked. Luckily, this is no longer an issue with future releases.

CI: How did the Limited Run Games physical release come about?

SV: The dudes from My Life In Gaming actually brought it up. One of those guys lives down the street from me and very early in the development process I told him I was working on Night Trap and wanted a documentary to go along with it since it has a crazy history and I thought it'd be a cool promotional tool. He immediately suggested that I work with Limited Run Games. Over the next several months I kept telling him that I'd think about it whenever he brought it up.

About a month before the game was announced, Coury came to my house to film my interview for the documentary. After we were finished he brought up Limited Run again so I told him to go ahead and tell them what I was working on. Ten minutes later, I got an email from Josh Fairhurst. Limited Run is super rad and I honestly can't imagine doing any game without their involvement so I'll most likely harrass them with each release that I do. They actually ported Night Trap to Nintendo Switch. I can't say anything bad about those dudes. They've helped me tremendously.

CI: So the Nintendo Switch version of the game comes with Japanese & French audio, was this something Screaming Villains commissioned themselves? Did Night Trap have an original Japanese and French release? And what was the reasoning behind including the new audio?

SV: The Japanese and French audio actually came from previous releases. I got ahold of copies of the game that were originally released in Europe and Japan and just ripped the audio from the disks. Before it was released I started getting messages and emails asking for additional language options so that's where that idea came from.

CI: So Night Trap as a copious history with Nintendo, when the company called out the game out in court, vowing it would never appear on a Nintendo system, which lead to some bad blood between the original Devs and Nintendo. How did it feel to finally put Night Trap on a Nintendo System?

SV: I think it's cool. Digital Pictures always released their games on Sega consoles and 3DO so it's super rad that one of them finally ended up on a Nintendo console. Definitely long overdue. With Night Trap getting released on there with a Teen rating without cutting any content might hopefully stop people from claiming that the game uses violence against women to move the story further which is absolultely ridiculous along with everything else that people claim is in there that doesn't even exist.

CI: What was the decision to go with Double Switch as the next FMV game to remaster?

SV: Double Switch just seemed like the obvious choice since it's the same type of game as Night Trap but everything is improved on. You could I guess call it the spiritual successor to Night Trap. It's also my favorite game from Digital Pictures. I think it was expected too. Back in February, I met a lot of the people that worked on Friday The 13th The Game. When I was introduced to the Executive Director Randy Greenback the first thing he said to me was "Are you doing Double Switch next?!" Josh from Limited Run was campaigning for it pretty hard too since his aunt is a childhood friend of Debbie Harry who appears in the game. A very short teaser for it was showng during the Limited Run E3 conference. While watching the conference there were people leaving comments like "Just announce Double Switch already!"

CI: Night Trap special editions in the past have come with cassette tapes, patches, and even a VHS tape. Can you tell us if Double Switch special edition will come with anything like that?

SV: It most likely will but I have no idea what since I haven't really talked to Limited Run about those options yet. Usually what happens is they throw an idea at me and I pretty much agree to all of them. They're huge Sega nerds like I am so I trust them with their ideas. The idea of pogs came up for Night Trap but we ran out of time so it wouldn't surprise me if that happened with Double Switch.

I'm sure it'll come in a Sega CD jewel case too since Limited Run ordered about 15,000 of those. I will say that it's getting a completely new cover since the original ones are kind of lame and don't really fit with the type of game that it is.

It looks super rad! DS also has a super rad soundtrack that was done by Thomas Dolby, who wrote and performed the hit song "She Blinded Me With Science" so I was hoping that a stereo version of the soundtrack existed so we could release that but sadly it's all mono.

CI: There was some rumors that Screaming Villains have been working on bringing, Marky Mark: Make My Video to the PS4. Can you confirm this?

SV: Oh dear....that was a joke that went too far. What happened was Josh Fairhurst and I kept getting our tweets captured and used as news articles for very minor stuff. I hated it because I wasn't used to this sort of thing since Night Trap was my first console release and Josh was beyond frustrated with it because of a random person making a negative comment about Nintendo, which led to a gaming site writing an article claiming that Josh spoke negatively about Nintendo when it wasn't even him or even anyone affiliated with LR.

They were forced to update the article and admit that they were wrong. After that, we started tweeting each other about a re-release of Marky Mark but making it sound official like it was an actual thing that was happening just to see if anyone would start turning that into articles.

One night, I took it a step further and made a working version of the game running on a PS4 in about an hour and then the next day we both posted a link to a video showing it. That got yanked from Youtube within the first 20 minutes. We used to talk about it all the time trying to figure out how to make it happen since the idea is too ridiculous to ignore but no. No remake of Marky Mark Make My Video.CI: What other FMV games do you want to bring to modern consoles?

CI: What other FMV games do you want to bring to modern consoles?

SV: My original goal was to get as many games from Digital Pictures as I can which is pretty much happening now. Night Trap and Double Switch aren't the only ones coming. Outside of DP releases the goal is D which was originally released back in 1995. I feel like there's a ton of different things you can do with that one.

CI: Lastly is there anything you would like to say to the readers?

The obvious thing would be thank you to everyone that played NT25. It was a stressful process so it made me happy to see that people that were fans of the original enjoyed it. Also, if you're a fan of Digital Pictures releases then stick around because some super rad stuff is coming!

Anonymous Barn Drama #31

I Say ”Arab Circuit”, You Say “Shit Show”!

So I’ve shown in 4-H, Eq team and local shows for about 11 years. That being said, by now I think it’s pretty fair to say I know what I’m doing at a show.

Well, when time came for me to buy my next horsey friend,I bought a 4yr old Arabian. I’ve always, always owned QHs (who ain’t shit btw) and so it only made sense to me to go to an Arab trainer. At first it was completely wonderful and just a really fun shift in my horsey career. I loved the barn and loved the trainer. It was all going well! Then the first show with this barn comes up. Now, I’ve never shown in a group or club format (which thank god because that Pony Club shit sounds bad), BUT I have done a lot of independent showing.

So myself and some of her other students just keep asking my new trainer about the show. I’d never done an Arab show before! We kept asking her how the show was going to run, what classes we were going to ride in (for whatever reason SHE chose what classes we rode in, we didn’t get to choose), and she just kept saying “You’ll see when we get there”. Obviously, that’s nerve-racking. Usually don’t trainers try to very mildly handhold the new kid on the block? 

Well, we get to the show and my formally very kind and sweet trainer turns into a monster. Just yelling, screaming, and fucking snapping at us over anything at all.

She wouldn’t let us ride in the warm-up arena until the stall set-up was picture perfect. Like, she had stall curtains and a table cloth and all that very not important stuff that needed to be set up JUST THIS WAY or else we couldn’t get on the horses. When we did finally get the horses tacked up and into the warm-up arena, she only spent about 20 minutes with us before instructing us all to go untack our horses. Um, okay? Over half the horses had never shown before, let alone shown in an indoor arena, or at this particular facility. Yet she doesn’t want to give us the time to get them all quieted down and used to the facility? Yikes.

We untack, sit around, and eat dinner. All was fine. Then at about 7pm we start bathing the horses. We brought 12 horses and two water heaters to get them all cleaned the night before showing started. Well, the thing is my mom and I had to trailer my horse back home after the show and so had a bit of a weird situation with our truck. We only have one truck and having to share it with the family meant that we were able to bring the trailer down, but were then basically ditched truck-less until the following day when the show ended. Which meant we needed to get a hotel.

So, if it’s 7pm at night… and you’re trying to get 12 horses bathed, 1 of the horses has an owner who needs to check in to their hotel, and you know bathing is going to be a PROCESS; what would you do? Would you let the person who needs to leave wash their horse first????  WELL. Apparently the water heaters can only bath 3-4 horses before they try to explode and need a 30 minute nappy nap. AFTER 8 HORSES my trainer FINALLY lets us bath my horse. WOW THANKS BUDDY. 

In the morning, I feed my horse when I show up and get REAMED for it because apparently “all the horses needed to be fed at the same time”. Oh, okay bud you could have said that? Cause, since I own him and he lives at my house 90% of the time I just assumed I could do whatever the fuck  want with the animal I own. 

This inability to do what I want nonsense just got worse throughout the day. Can’t groom without her say-so. Can’t warm-up unless she okays it.  So, halter class was first and I’VE NEVER DONE AN ARAB HALTER CLASS BEFORE. I’d only practiced a few times with my trainer and honestly had little clue how these classes work. I’m in the arena, being confused out of my face, and looking to the other handlers in the class to figure out what the fuck to do. My trainer is ON THE RAIL YELLING AT ME. Cause how dare I NOT KNOW THESE THINGS BEFORE GOING IN THE CLASS I WASN’T ALLOWED TO PICK AND THEN NEVER GIVEN PROPER INSTRUCTION ON WHAT TO DO!! (I got 2nd in that class, so I guess flying by the seat of my pants and internally SCREAMING worked.) I go into warmup before my riding class. I do without a martingale because… well, unless you’re in a training class or a driving class you can’t use them so why the hell would I do something like warmup in equipment I’m not going to use. That DOES make sense, right? RIGHT??! Well… yeah I got yelled out for that.  Then she tells me to put side reins on “Just like we do at home”… like I’ve only ridden him in side reins maybe ONCE in the 5 months. Since WHEN is that how we it at home??? So after some arguing from my momma bear, side reins go on and I get warmed up. It was awful. EDITORS NOTE: It’s super dangerous to ride in side reins. That’s not what that piece of equipment is meant for. Please don’t ride in side reins.  I’m on a 4yr old. I’ve never been to an Arab show. I lunged without a surcingle despite always doing that at home, and my warmup was 10 minutes of shitty riding in side reins… Yeah it was terrible. I managed to get my ass and my horse to calm down and not look like fucking idiot jackasses. My trainer takes the side reins off literal minutes before the class starts… 

I have NEVER ridden my horse without of a martingale since we took him to her 5 months before, that dawned on me then, and she thinks he’s gonna win the class without EVER BEING RIDDEN OUT OF THE MARTINGALE, AND DOING THAT AT A SHOW 3 MINUTES BEFORE MY CLASS!?? 

Well. We didn’t die, he did everything I asked, but it was NOT pretty. Just very ugly. No contact, no frame. All nonsense.  I mean my horse is a stunner now, but then? Jesus fucking christ then he was like the poster boy llama horse.

Well then I scratched the other 2 riding classes because I was sick, I have medical issues and I knew if I was to ride I would blackout. 

Anyways the kids were still nice to me, as were the parents. But my trainer and her daughter(who is 13 at the time and tried to boss everyone around like she owned the place) flat out ignored me in person and on social media. I didn’t show with them and have only gone back for a handful of lessons. I still adore the kids and the horses, one of my best friends rides there and we see each other at shows but I am never going to show with them again.

She taught me a lot, she helped my horse and me a ton and she’s a wealth of knowledge for Arab stuff.  I still respect her too. She just… likes to be in control of anything and if she can’t bully you around then she’s not as great of a person to ride with. 

I’ve been to a few arab shows and since I don’t do 4-H or eq team any more I will do more arab circuit shows next year, so I’ll show at the same shows and the same classes with them, but I’m gonna be showing under my own name. 

Anyways yeah that’s my monster trainer/barn drama. Oh yeah and the daughter and trainer quit liking my stuff on Facebook and Instagram a few months ago for absolutely no reason. And if I comment on a picture saying how nice the horse is or congrats etc they blatantly ignore me while responding to every other comment on the post 🤷🏼‍♀️

Strange Fate timeline

I decided to collect everything I can find out about Strange Fate into a little datafile, including a timeline of events leading up to its nonrelease.  I do not know L.J. Smith; all the data here is collected from around the internet.  I dug pretty deep, and I can't promise that everything I found is correct.

Timeline:

In January 1998 Witchlight, the last of L.J. Smith's books, was published.  She'd been bringing out three Night Worlds a year for the last few years, working hard.  Strange Fate had a release date—I don't remember what it was but I do remember I'd put in a request for it at the local bookstore.  And silence fell.  According to wikipedia Ms. Smith stopped writing to care for her brother's children while he battled cancer, and during that time she also lost her mother.

March 2001 the final Vampire Diaries: the Return: Midnight was released.  After this all future books were by the ghostwriter.  The ghostwriter is anonymous; we don't even know if it's the same person for all the later books.

January 2008 Ms. Smith opened her old blog

October 2009 saw the publishing of the Night World Ultimate Guide

2011 saw the Secret Circle TV series and the news that Ms. Smith was fired by Alloy Entertainment.

October 2012 in an interview with Salt Lake magazine Ms. Smith says she “just finished” The Last Lullaby.

February 2013 the first chapter of Strange Fate first appeared on Ms. Smith's website.  So one chapter is written, anyway!

November 2013 Ms. Smith posts the “What about Strange Fate-- really?” post, which tells us how she decided to split the book into the Strange Fate we hope to know and love and a more “serious” dystopian novel called The Last Lullaby.  I actually emailed Ms. Smith about this time, a quick “Dystopias are fun, amirite?” and she responded a quick, “They sure are!” kind of reply.  

April 2014 we get articles about tribulations with the publisher. Ms. Smith is no longer allowed to write for Vampire Diaries and Secret Circle.  Disagreements about which pairing is the true OTP seems to be the reason for giving VD to ghostwriters.  Ms. Smith of course bit back by writing fanfiction of her own series so we could continue reading them.

The end of June 2015 had the last facebook post for a good long time.  It would be December before fans found out what happened, in the post entitled “And Then I Woke Up.”  You've all read it so short version: Ms. Smith had a major medical emergency, was in a coma for like two months, and while she was well enough to post by Christmas she wasn't well enough to do all the normal life stuff.  She talks about the difficulty of life in a wheelchair and wanting to write a book with a wheelchair-bound heroine.  (Am I the only one who'd love to read that book?)

During 2016  Ms Smith facebooks mostly about her pets.  In January she gave us a chatty post about her still-wonky brain and her Goodreads reviews—of which there was only one.

December 2016 the hardcover Night World editions were published.

January 9 2017 silence fell.  I couldn't find any news from Ms. Smith after that date.  

So what happened?  We don't know.  The obvious guess is that she suffered a medical setback that left her unable to blog or write. Rereading her blogs as I've done to put this post together it's easy to see that Ms. Smith really likes her fans, and it's hard to imagine she'd leave us in the dark if she could help it—and even if she were just acting nice and didn't really care about her fans, I'm sure she'd still be eager to sell a new book to pay medical bills!

Logically if she could get the book to us, she'd have done it.  And she hasn't.

That leaves us with very little hope for ever seeing Strange Fate.

But there is this: in the author's forward to the gorgeous hardcover re-releases of the Night World books there is this sentence, Ms. Smith speaking of what the new release has meant to her:

“It has allowed me to finish Strange Fate, which grew into an epic that included roles for almost every Night World character.”

It has allowed me to finish Strange Fate

allowed me to finish Strange Fate,

finish Strange Fate,

(the whole author's note can be read on amazon, if you don't want to buy the hardcovers.)

So... it's finished?  But we've heard “it's finished” several times before, so I don't think we should get too excited.  But it is reason not to give up hope.

I can see only one way to find out more.  I'll have to call Simon & Schuster and try and get someone there to tell me what's going on!

Ugh.  I hate cold-calling people with random questions like this, it makes my insides get all crawly.  But the quest must go on!  To be continued.

So those are the announcements I think I nailed it. I might have something I’m going to paste Now I need to copy and paste some stuff on the thing so so yeah, there was we got I guess,

Bradley: Let me tease what you’re doing tomorrow or non so that you don’t have to toot your own horn. We got, we’ve been doing kind of a series in the mastermind. We’re probably going to end up launching a product around it anyways, but it’s Pay Per Click marketing for local and how to get results. We had a course that I produced about two, maybe two and a half years ago now called Local Kingpin. And it was specifically for using Google AdWords obviously, it’s now Google ads, but formerly Google AdWords for setting up lead gen assets and dry and using, you know, producing leads for local businesses, either on a client basis or even on a lead gen basis where you’re selling leads. And that worked really well. But the Google Ads dash dashboard, the whole platform has evolved a lot in the last two and a half years, considerably. And, you know, Google Ads themselves for search ads, excuse me, so search ads are rather expensive, you can still be profitable with that. There’s no question but it’s fucking expensive. So I’ve actually gotten away from using search ads and get more into using display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing obviously, and it works really well because the display ads are the display ad platform is so much better than it used to be. And you know, years ago when I had developed the local kingpin training

It was in that method that I was using display ads. Suck it, they might have worked, but it sucked setting them up because you had to go out in the order or design your own banner ads and you had designed them and all the various sizes that you wanted to display them in. So the leaderboard, and you know, this 350 by 250 rectangles, you know, all these different sizes. And so it was a pain in the ass, I would hire a graphic designer to develop a set of banner ads, and that would be one set of banner ads, and it might cost me 50 or 60 bucks. If you wanted to split test, you’d have to pay for another set of ads, right. And so it was just it was you’d have to wait for you know, several days to get them back from the designer. And it’s a real pain in the ass. And so it wasn’t very efficient. And it wasn’t very effective unless you really split test a lot and then found a winning combination of ads. But now what you can do on the Display Network when you’re setting up display ads is you actually just import photos, it photos and images and let your logo as well and

It’s a square version and rectangular version for each. And then you get to add up to five short headlines, one long headline and then up to five descriptions. So and there’s, you know, character limits for each. But then what Google does is Google will create responsive display ads out of just the images that you upload it to just regular photos will work or graphics, either one and then will automatically start rotating through your various headlines and descriptions to find out which gets the highest click through as an engagement. And then it will start to auto-optimize the campaign and start serving the ads that are the combinations that performed the best more and more often. And so it’s so much easier to set up a campaign now. And although obviously, display ads don’t convert nearly as well as like search ads do, it’s a fraction of the cost guys, and with the audience targeting that Google Display Network has now or Google has period. They have what they call in market audiences and life event audiences and you can even create custom intent audiences.

is now based on keywords which are really cool. I just started playing with that actually. And so if you go and find the you know in the in the in the in-market audience targeting settings if you can go in and find an end market audience for the businesses that you’re generating leads for then those tend to be very good and like for me for contractors typically a the average cost per click runs between anywhere between about 85 cents to $1 50. So somewhere in that range depending on what type of contractor it is that I’m generating leads for. And so that’s a fraction of the cost it just for it’s just quickly for some perspective here, for roofing leads, for example, it could in some of the areas that I do SEO work and generate leads for roofers of roofing. A click for search ads for roofing type keywords can cost 35 to $40 per click. And you know, typically an average conversion rate is somewhere anywhere between 32

40% right, so you’re talking about three clicks to get one lead at $35 per click, that’s $105 per lead. That, to me is incredibly expensive. But with those, if you can there in the market audience targeting, you can actually see that there are a roofing odd Roofing Services in the market audience, and you can use that for display ads. And maybe this says you pay $1 per click will just use a nice round number. And it might be a 10% conversion rate as opposed to 30 or even a 5% conversion rate, which means you need 20 clicks to get one lead, but 20 clicks at $1 to get one lead guy think about that as 20 bucks per lead as opposed to 100 bucks per lead when you’re using search ads. So keep that in mind and that’s for cold traffic. But also for remarketing purposes. Like honestly, if you’re not using remarketing in you’re doing Client Services, you’re nuts because it’s just an inexpensive way to get additional traffic back to

The site and even if that traffic doesn’t convert a lot, a lot of it will, but doesn’t convert into leads. It’s a great branding tool to help that business to gain brand recognition so that people will think of them and go search for their brand name when it’s time for them to need their product or service because they’re constantly reminded of that business. So, long story short,

we’re going to work we’ve been doing a series of training inside the mastermind about using Google ads for Local Lead Generation, not search ads, but display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing ads. And tomorrow Hernan being the Facebook marketing expert that he is, he’s coming into the mastermind to do a full training on how to use Facebook ads for Local Lead Generation. And then we’re actually going to probably be packaging all that up over the next 60 to 90 days at some point and then launching that as a separate product as kind of an update to local kingpin, but we’re going to rebrand it because it’s really going to be a whole new course. Did you guys lose me?

Hernan: No

Bradley: I got a frozen screen. Okay, yeah, there you go. Okay, so anyways, just kind of wanted to teach you guys a little bit on what’s going on in the mastermind tomorrow. Those of you that are the mastermind a lot there’s been a discussion thread by the way or not, did you see the discussion thread in the Facebook group, but are saying that we’re going to rope you into actually contributing more than just the mastermind because they want a full soup to nuts type train. Yeah. So yeah, well, yeah, if there’s a need for it,  you know, the mastermind has the privilege that you know, if you guys there’s a real need about, you know, a specific type of training that you guys want to go after, then we can make a series there’s no problem about that. We’re all about, you know, serving our members as much as we possibly can. So that if that, you know, we have a good response tomorrow, that’s potentially going to happen, at least initially within the mastermind, and then we’ll go from there. But yeah, my idea is to cover as much terrain as possible tomorrow specifically, and then if we need to do another iteration of the, of the training or you know, walk you guys through a couple of case studies. So for instance, I was going through one of the clients that I manage, and we, so he’s a chiropractor. He’s a local chiropractor, and he has four clinics in Dallas. And over the past, I would say over the past six months, we have spent around $160,000 in advertising, and we have generated almost 4000 confirm appointments to those four offices. Now that is rough. So he is charging $49 per appointment, right? It’s an intra massage offer. So he’s charging $49 per appointment. We’re getting him we’re getting those appointments for around 39 to $40. So he’s, you know, making money on the front end, but that’s not even the best thing. The best thing is that each customer forth to him on average $300 you know because they show up to his office and they buy a bunch of stuff and they buy additional massages and they buy so that’s

Average and that’s on the low side. So there’s, there’s effectively we have been moving the needle real hard. He’s super happy Of course because he’s growing. He’s expanding locations and whatnot, and some of the stuff that we were able to implement for him. We will be talking about tomorrow on the mastermind, so it’s going to be pretty cool. Yeah, awesome. Yeah. Alright, so the last thing we’re going to tease before we get into questions, which we were kind of just hoping that more questions would fill in this chat box anyways, uh, we’ve got video lead gen system

to Dotto really is launching next week, next Tuesday. As a matter of fact, we’re going to talk about it well, the first part of next week’s webinar, Hump Day hangouts is going to be where we’re going to, you know, kind of get into some detail about what it’s about and all that because I completely updated it so that still the old training is there, the old method, which I did for years, but over the last several months, I’ve been really redeveloping that method to make it more streamlined and efficient, something that a lot of it can be outsourced, but also just to make it to where, even if you were doing this yourself like, you know, managing the all of the video lead gen or video email campaigns on your own, I don’t recommend that. But if a lot of people still going to do it on their own anyway, it’s a lot more efficient now to where what used to take roughly 20 to 30 minutes per video email to send out. Now what will take you just two to three minutes No kidding, there’s there will be a setup period on the front end where you can’t get into the method here, there’ll be a setup period where it might take you an hour to get everything set up. But then from there for every prospect you want to mail to, it’s literally two to three minutes. And that’s it. And so it’s a hell of a lot more efficient. And I’ve tested a lot of different follow-up methods from that as well to once you are notified of engagement and I talked about all of this in the training and found several different methods that work really well to the kind of get the conversation going and stuff and so I go into great detail. It’s basically a whole new course but you’re still going to get the original version, as well as the Everything’s under

The same membership site now. So there’s the original version, which still works, but it’s a bit more time-consuming. And then there’s the newer version that can be applied to pretty much any sort of marketing service I use specifically one, were really two types of methods for monetizing it. In the examples and in the training, I talked about how to use it for monetizing lead gen assets. And then I also talked about for client services, if you’re just doing outreach for clients instead of lead generation service providers. Then, you know, there’s a method I talked about specifically optimizing GMB stuff, but it can be modified or an applied to pretty much any sort of service that you offer. So if you’re a digital marketer does Facebook ads like her non for example, you could still use the video lead gen system, you just obviously are going to talk about how you can get results with Facebook as opposed to how you can get results with Google My Business. So any of you guys one of the things that we do is we surveyed you guys on a consistent basis to find out what what-what our audience needs, and something that comes up all the time is client getting right? securing clients and that kind of stuff. And so that’s really what this was all about. It’s so that you guys can go out and least get the conversation started. It’s not sales training. I’m not real good at sales unless I got a referral, like been referral but as far as getting the conversation going for prospecting, it’s an outstanding way to do it’s very unique, you’ll get a lot of responses that way. And then it’s really going to be up to you to present your offer in such a way that you close the client, you know what I mean? Or the prospect at that point. So anyways, be on the lookout for that guys. Next week, we’re going to do like we typically have done in the past, which is a limited offer on the front end for 24 hours and then the price will go up. And that’s typically how we do that. So be on the lookout for that next week.

Okay, anything else? I think we’re good.

Alright, cool. Let’s get into questions. Alright, so with our 1989 looking chat box, which kind of cool though. Let’s get into it will start at the top

What Are Your Thoughts On Keyword Research Ninja?

KT says what are your thoughts on keyword research ninja? I have no thoughts on it whatsoever I’ve never used it I really don’t use any keyword research tools anymore other than Power Suggest Pro, Google AdWords you know, the Google Ads keyword planner for because I still do PPC stuff. And then we have our own in-house keyword research product that is like anytime you need keywords, that’s, you know, our go-to source now is MGYB? We have the keyword research done over there because it takes hours to compile a good list of keywords. Really, you can spend hours doing that and organizing the keywords into silos and you know, proper themes and that kind of stuff. And that’s what our, you know, our product on keyword research is specifically it’s you know, our assistant or employee that does all of that have access to multiple tools, SEM Rush, Power Suggest Pro, you know, all different kinds of tools that she uses to actually develop these reports and puts them into silos and all that kind of stuff. So different type of intent keywords, commercial intent, informational queries, that kind of stuff. So it just makes it super easy. So honestly, I can’t give you an opinion on any of those keyword tools because I just don’t use them. It just requires too much time in my opinion. And I’d rather outsource that or use a simple tool when I’m going to do it myself such as Power Suggest Pro. Marco or anybody else wants to comment on any of those.

Marco: I agree that that’s all I use. I use our keyword research. I mean, I taught them how to do it for a reason it’s based on the way that you do it. And the way that I do it, which is Google Trends and power suggest Pro with Google ads, right the Keyword Planner Tool, and but the basis is right there. Then we go into everything else and we drill down as much as we can get as much information as possible go to Answer the Public. We just use just a ton of different tools that we can get all of the keywords. I mean, you get thousands sometimes I see our report come back, and it’s 7, 8, 9 thousand keywords strong. And I’m thinking, this is like the best way to take down a market. Let me if you really need to start and understand your market and the words involved in your market. There’s nothing better. I mean, I don’t know I can’t speak on keyword research Ninja, it might be fabulous. But I can’t say anything other than the way that we have it set up works perfectly well for what we do. Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah. And again, it’s the amount of time that goes into that, you know, I got away from doing it myself because it just takes too much time. Especially to Oregon. Like it’s easy to spit out a bunch of keywords with a tool but to organize them in proper themes, you know, and basically silos and that kind of stuff and intent type people words like that’s yet I mean, as far as I know, that’s manual. I don’t know tools that actually do that maybe keyword research and into does that. I don’t know, I don’t even look at tools like that anymore. So, unfortunately, I can’t give you a good answer to that.

Does Using Subdomains Produce Better SEO Juice Than Using Pages For Multi-City Local Lead Gen Site?

Gordon’s up he says thank you very much again for the help you provide on hump days. You’re welcome. He says he when setting up a multi-city local lead gen site you have advised in the past few subdomains of the main domain for each city instead of using a page under the main domain. When using pages, I know that the SEO juice can be spread among all the city pages, but when using subdomains is the SEO just spread among all the subdomains to help each other one rank met each one rank better, or does each subdomain stand on its own for SEO purposes? Well, it’s a little of both Gordon because, again, a subdomain is treated as a separate entity by Google right. But there is the parent domain being the root domain. So you can the way I always looked at it was subdomains and other subdomains of the same root domain are called siblings, sibling domains, right and the parent domain being the root.

And so what happens is each one of the subdomains or sibling domains are their own standalone sites, which is good for protection purposes. And that’s what we’ve talked about. That’s the reason why I’ve always done that. Now, it’s funny because I really don’t do anything spammy anymore, at least not to the actual money sites. So I can probably get away with just doing the inner pages, but it’s still allowed. You’re still a, you know, and that it doesn’t mean that what we do right now, doesn’t couldn’t be considered spammy tomorrow, because we don’t work for Google. Right. And so even though I’ve never really had, at least for several years now, I haven’t had any issues with getting sites deindexed or penalize. I’ve always kept using subdomains specifically to minimize risk, right to reduce exposure, so to speak. Because as I’ve said before, if you put all of your location pages on the root, so their inner pages, right, and if you catch a penalty against any one of those pages, it could pull the whole site down and all of your other location pages.

Although again, as I said, the methods that we teach, haven’t knock on wood, they haven’t created any penalties that I’m aware of, for any of my own stuff, as well as any of our students, okay, that I’m aware of. And so you could probably get away with doing it on inner pages for management purposes, that would be much easier for there’s no doubt because you’d all you’d have just one site to manage. That said, though, just keep in mind that that’s putting all of your eggs in one basket. So if Google decides to take that basket, or destroy one of the eggs in that basket, it could very well hurt all the others as well. So back to the original question, a subdomain is kind of a standalone site in that if a subdomain was to catch a penalty, for some reason or another, it would only affect that subdomain, the route would be left intact would remain healthy and all of the other sibling domains or subdomains would also remain healthy, untouched, essentially, from that penalty that’s been levied against that one subdomain. So it’s isolates any potential penalty problems. However, if you were to catch a penalty against the root domain, it would automatically apply to all of the child domains or subdomains. Does that make sense? So that’s why we all I’ve done that in the past was to always protect the root against all odds, right? Protect the root. And then if I was going to do anything spammy, it would be on a subdomain level. And that was specifically for that reason.

However, what you can do is in this is something I’ve actually been testing recently, but I don’t have enough time passed to see in fact, I just talked about this on the last mastermind webinar, so 13 days ago, actually, about how to use subdomains and the root domain in conjunction to kind of power it up. And I can’t give away the the the method here because it can’t do that because it’s kind of an extension of something that we teach in our paid courses. But there is a way to still use somebody domains and use the root domain to kind of help power up the subdomains, with inner pages without doing anything that could catch it catch up a penalty to your route. But again, you know, as far as does the subdomains benefit each other, yes, it may not be quite as a quick effect or, or might not be as effective as inner pages. But here’s the thing, every one of those subdomains are still attached to the root, right. So again, the root domain being the parent domain is going to benefit now, you guys know we don’t talk. We don’t care much about metrics. We stopped caring about proprietary third-party metrics several years ago, but let’s just use one as an example because a lot of you guys will understand it this way. Let’s just use domain authority Moz’s metric and page authority is an example okay?

When you have a domain authority that sitewide including subdomains, right, so for example, if you have a domain authority of 20 five on the root, then your subdomains, when you create a new subdomain, it won’t automatically be 25. I don’t think so. But it will become it will benefit from the domain authority of the parent domain. And so what I have found over the years now that I’ve been developing these multi-location sites using subdomains is that at first, when you start developing, like, let’s say you start off with two locations, so you’ve got the root domain, and then to subdomains at, you know, each subdomain being four different location. And then you add, so you start optimizing, you know, doing what you do to get results. And then you add a third location. Well, that third location tech, you know, typically, according to my experience, will, will often start to get results faster than the first two dead, because it’s actually benefiting from some of the authority that has been accrued or you know, accumulated from the previous two subdomains and the route altogether, right. So as a whole, it’s now that that new subdomain is actually benefiting from the authority that has accrued from the previous two and the route itself if that makes sense. So then you add a fourth subdomain and you know, fourth location, and a fifth and a six. And what happens is I start to see each new location that I add, tends to respond quicker get results faster than the previous one, because it’s actually benefiting from the authority of the, you know, cluster essentially, that’s it’s the root domain, as well as its additional its other siblings. So, again, if you’re doing just inner pages, you’ll probably be going to get a faster effect from that. But I found that you know, as you continue to build out additional subdomains, they helped to, they kind of benefit or receive benefit from all of the previous subdomains as well. So they’re at their birth point, right. The moment that you create that subdomain, it really already has some inherent authority because of it being a subdomain of a root domain that has built authority or crude authority if that makes sense.

So, anyway, I can’t get into any more further of that, honestly, because I will be giving away too much. Come join the mastermind and will tell you all about it. So, Marco, do you want to comment on that at all or Hernan?

Marco: Now, just to validate a little bit what you’re talking about on domains, we see that domain subdomain. We see that when we do drive stacks, and we add additional folders and files, right? The more you add the more power that as you say, a cruise and I call it power. I don’t give a shit about domain authority or trust flow. I don’t give a crap about any of that its power. And so the more that you do have whatever it is that you’re doing inside the drive stack, the more power that you pushing through, and the more power that ends up wherever it is that you got that drives tech game. That’s why they work so well. Yeah. And so the more work that you do inside, the more keywords that you target, whether it’s keyword plus location or service, whatever it is that you’re doing.

You do more of it inside your drive stack. And before you know it, I mean, it’s just pushing tons of power wherever it is that you want to go. And we’ve seen people live from case studies that they even get an empty folder to rank before anything else rank. So it’s crazy the amount of power that you can do in this method, whether you’re doing it at the TL D and subdomain level or at the drive stack and G site level. Right?

Twitter Embed Code Not Displaying Properly In GSite

So if it says it says good day Semantic Mastery team thanks for this form to ask questions and get real answers. When optimizing the site, I framed Twitter the area stays blank with no message saying it won’t connect. Is that still okay? All right. I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But I know that if you just take a Twitter URL, tweet URL, a Twitter profile, URL, whatever and try to use an iframe create generator that it won’t show you have to go into Twitter developers and actually generate an embed code for it which you can do with like your timeline, tweets and stuff. So for example, you can take a Twitter profile and go to

The developers, I think it’s developers.twitter.com or something like that just do a Google search, you’ll see what I mean. And you can ask you, or even just go to Google and search, how do you create or embed a Twitter feed? And that’s what you would? Again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But if I was going to try, and I haven’t, so I haven’t tested it with G sites, guys, but you could probably it’s probably you’re using the wrong type of embed code. And that’s why it’s not displaying is what I’m saying. If you go generate the correct proper embed code from the Twitter developers site, or whatever, whatever it is, again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff, just like you can, you know, I recently I built Believe it or not, I built some PB ends recently because I was testing. I don’t use PB ends. Often guys, I very rarely use them. But I did build a few that I was testing and somebody product actually. And one of the things that they required was that you had made the site look, you know, very real. So one of the things that asked for was embedding a Twitter feed, so I had some persona profiles from some older since networks that I had built that had Twitter profiles with, you know, updates. And so I just had I had, that’s how I learned to go build this little embed code. And that’s a Twitter feed in bed, that you have to go to the developers console and sign into that account. And then you create it that way. And it gives you the specific embed code for that Twitter feed. So it’s probably that you’re using the wrong one. Now, I could be wrong guys. Because like said, I don’t do much of that stuff with Twitter at all. But I’m pretty sure if you’re trying to use just an iframe generator with a Twitter profile or something like that, it’s going to be blank, it’s going to not work.

Can You iFrame A Facebook Business Page?

Now, the next part of that question is, can you iframe in a Facebook business page? As far as I know, no, I Facebook has iframe breakers that won’t allow you to embed them anywhere using any sort of tool. If anybody has a different answer please speak up.

Hernan: I think you’re right Bradley on that on that and I haven’t personally tried to iframe Facebook but I know that you know, Facebook is kind of against that other than Facebook videos, you know that what you can allow and but you can embed that an iframe that but other than that, I wouldn’t know? Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah, I know. There are some like plugins and stuff that will allow you to embed a or you know, display a Facebook page. But it actually Yes, you have to connect it via API and all that kind of stuff like, so there are WordPress plugins that will do that. But as far as just an embed code from Facebook, I don’t think that’s possible. Once again, I don’t do much Facebook stuff. So I couldn’t tell you with all certainty, but I can I know that, like, if you try to just take a Facebook URL, and iframe it, it won’t it all, it will never display anywhere. I’ve never seen that ever work. So you have to use stuff that connects via API or authorize or what are they called Facebook apps or whatever. We actually create all that shit in order just to get even a Facebook page to show in like a widget area on a website.

Hernan: Um, so yeah, and they’re even more like they’re, they’re even more like restrictive with all of the privacy stuff that they’re going through. So that you may want to consider so.

Bradley: yeah, and then you try to iframe or when you try to embed a Facebook comments app you see what happens the previous couple on the Hangouts that and I get it I guess that’s because people can act that shit so right cool we’re going to keep moving. This chat is already thousand better than anything before devices that is cool thanks to Vaughn I’m glad you guys liked it for a bus the new battle call right revert I think that’s one of the guests says get repeatable oh that’s you that was you that’s maybe a farm setting up by a cat gotcha well mines Bradley hmm feisty forehead motherfucker in charge just in case you guys wondered what that was all about.

Do Semantic Mastery RYS Stacks Add More Value To An Existing Syndication Network & GMB Page?

Bradley: The humanoid says Marco I have an RYS Drive stack order pending and creating an RYS stack I have my syndication network complete in my see when creating a try so that I have my syndication network completed my GMB URL done. would it add more value when I have you build my RYS stacks. Thank you will thank you will

I know that was directed to Marco I’m gonna put my two cents in first before Marco answers. And if you already have your syndication network all your profile URLs to become target URLs as well. guys remember it’s just kind of about it’s just like internal linking right with your syndication network. It’s there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be powering up your tier one assets as well. So if you have all of that I would actually absolutely include those but Marco, that’s more question for you.

Marco: Yeah, I’m thinking that he wants to know if he should have the team, put them into the bill, by all means, that that’s your tier one branded, it should be included and then So when did he get the spreadsheet to hit with link building. That’s what’s going to get hit your tier one branded your GMB and everything that’s inside that drive stack. So yes, by all means, have at it, and you’re going to see some really good results. I’ve been getting a bunch of testimony.

By the way of about people having to build links to their dry stacks and then the drive stacks just going crazy. Yeah once they get some the link building done so yes have added the same thing with the ad ID page. I’ve done some testing with that and just and that’s what I loved about it. It’s one of the easiest methods because all you gotta do is go submit link building gig order to you know, I wouldn’t say to just anybody but Daddy has got it down to a science and just taking like the ad ID the iframe loop stuff that we’ve talked about and again our paid courses and almost all of them it’s available that that just works really well and again, that’s just what that magic of I frames and when you combine that with Dr. stacks or even dr stacks alone, but that’s part of it because of you know, iframe in that gets done in the site, everything else so it’s just incredibly powerful. And just hitting those that’s the beautiful thing about it guys is you know, the daddy has link building pack service which is in MYB, right? They’re still spam links, but he’s good at what he does. He’s a pro, he’s a professional, there’s no doubt and because of that, he knows how to make it really effective. And then when you use something like Google assets as the target or Amazon domain as the primary target, then it can take that kind of abuse like you can hammer away at it, and it can take it and filter it like a champ. In fact, it just kind of powers it up. Now, it’s not something that I would ever direct to the money site, but you can do you know what I mean, but you can do it two very powerful tier one assets, which is why we developed the way that we do so that’s why we don’t even use VPN, who needs a pbn? When we can use Google and Amazon assets to create the same effect and then you spam links as opposed to and I call them spam and everybody who want to do spam. But guys, I mean, that’s what link building tools do they create spam links, you can call them whatever you want. That’s really what they are. Right and so pbn links are technically spammed links to you might be buying links from you know, a domain that has good metrics, but unless it’s super well themed and all that they’re typically spam links anyways, you know what I mean? So it’s just it’s about how you use them and what you point them at. And so we recommend doing it the way that you know, at least our method we use our method for specifically for a reason. It’s efficient, and it works well. Right.

All right old school, like daddy says, will it be set up like this tomorrow? Hernan? What’s tomorrow?

Hernan: The webinar? webinar or mastermind? Yeah, now it’s gonna be on a mastermind. Yeah. It’ll be in the regular mastermind.

Bradley: Jim, think that’s when? Yeah, just the regular master the live mastermind webinar page, just like we’ve always been doing over there. I we haven’t had any problems with that over there. Now it’s in the bond site. Yeah, right. The membership site, right.

So as far as I know, we’ve never had any problems not one complaint with it over there. We had a problem with the Disqus chat app. on these pages for some reason I think it’s a Click Funnels issue like it just didn’t jive well but on the traditional mastermind webinars inside the membership site we haven’t ever had a complaint on that so if I’m wrong and you guys got some complaints about it to make them known to make them known over there in the Facebook group not here.

How Would You Strategize Sending Out An Email Campaign For Over A Year?

I blue panda whoever that is, is hey guys hope this Jeff Oh, what the hell? That’s the same as what we had before. Maybe not okay. Hey, guys hope this chat function works better than this. That piece of shit Facebook jet cheese. Yeah. Or Geez, you’re right. That was terrible. Okay, onto my question. I have a list for my niche that is big enough to send 1000 emails per day for over a year. Wow. This is simply a law of big numbers campaign for my client. These will be a one time blast. Either they respond or they don’t and the next class goes out the next day what would be the best way to approach a list of this size style of sending? I don’t know I’ve never spammed at that level before. Spam demon.

And that’s exactly what you’re doing. So the best person to answer that question is unfortunately not here. That’s Chris, our partner, Chris, he, he’s been doing that kind of work for four years. He can give you the best advice on that. But he’s not here. I’m sorry, he’s traveling. Yeah, the only thing I would know to say is that make sure that you have plenty of sending from domain email account. So in other words, making sure that you’ve got several many, many, many different email account setup, you know, that you can send from because you’re probably going to burn every single account that you send from like, almost every day.

I don’t know for sure, because it depends on how clean your list is. But typically, when you’re sending out mass emails like that, from a particular account, especially 1000 per day, you have to have accounts that have developed some sort of reputation for or else when you go to hit send on 1000 emails from an account that’s not really seasoned. It will you know, the is the internet search or email service providers will throttle those accounts and not the inbox. You know a bunch of them and also with people will start hitting the spam button which it’s likely if they were unsolicited emails, you will get a lot of people hitting the spam button, it will flag that particular domain account for or domain email excuse me for spam and so it will like they’ll just stop unboxing her nine you were going to comment? Yeah, yeah,

I agree with you. What I was about to say is that if you want to, you know, reach out to Chris just post in the Facebook group and maybe take him I don’t know if blue pen is on the mastermind group. Yeah, if you’re in the mastermind, we could get to it. You know, Chris will give you a lot of help out there. Otherwise, you could try it in the free Facebook group and I don’t know how much he’ll reveal about something like that there. But yeah, that’s the only problem like guys I talked about this a few weeks ago, but you know, I got I’ve unsubscribed from just about every single marketing list that I’m I’ve ever been on.

Over the last several months, because I decided to get really focused and you know, buying shiny objects and getting pitched new training, you know, methods and stuff like that all the time was really, and I, you know, there’s they’re kind of happens in cycles. I know a lot of you guys we’ve I’ve talked with a lot of our mastermind members over the last several months I do calls now with, you know, one on one calls with mastermind members, as a new member, you get a one on one call with one of us. And then every quarter or so I try to open up the ability to have another 30 minute call with me so I can kind of help you know, find out more about people in our mastermind and what struggles are going through and offer some guidance and and and, you know, 90 days to six months and three to six months, I have another call with them, find out if they made any progress, and they’re going to have new issues at that point. So one of the things that I’ve heard a lot through those calls without calling anybody out is that, you know, constantly being bombarded with different opportunities. And that’s because we’re all marketers, right? And so we’ve gone out and been signed up for whatever ours, which puts us on email list or we bought products, which puts us on email lists. And the next thing you know, we get hammered and you guys can all relate I’m sure you get hammered and hammered and hammered all the time with solicitation offers for training or for software or tools or services and all that kind of stuff. And you know,

I found that although they may be interesting and sometimes entertaining to go like watch webinars or to go check out the new sales page of the new tool that or software or WordPress plugin or whatever the hell it is, that typically just distracts from making any progress a real progress in my business and you know, over the years I’ve gone up and down with that, you know, sometimes a more susceptible to that other times I’m not but over the last many months now I really just started to unsubscribe from you know, ton of people’s emails. The reason I started saying that was because my oldest email account that is the account that I use, it’s a Yahoo account, Yahoo mail account, that’s the one that I used to always sign up for stuff like I don’t use my main Gmail accounts for for to sign up for lists or two webinars and things like that, because I knew that I get on a spam list, right and people would start spamming me. I’m still getting a ton of spam over there. But I’ve never voluntarily or I very, very rarely voluntarily used one of those primary Gmail type email addresses for signing up for that stuff. But I had a Yahoo mail account that was just getting spammed to death. And so over the last several months, I have really, really gotten a much better handle on that too. Because what I’ve done is I’ve gone every time I get an email now I just daily maintenance Now, every single day, I go through my Yahoo account probably two maybe three times a day. And if there’s an email that came is comes to me that I was unsolicited, which is you know, it’s they don’t come nearly as often as they used to now, I open up the email, I scroll right to the bottom finance subscribe button, I click it and make sure you know in the page reloads that it’s that in the net new tab that I’ve unsubscribed. Then I close that tab and I go back in and I click the spam button and Yahoo

And I do that every single day. And, you know, I used to get literally dozens, sometimes hundreds of emails per day, as many of you guys can probably relate. And now I swear to God, this is no bullshit over the last, probably five to six weeks now, I might get two or three emails per day and some days I don’t get any spam or unsolicited emails anymore. And that’s because I’ve gotten into the habit of doing that. So now it’s much more manageable like that, that email counts almost like a clean account. Now I do still get occasional as I said, Sometimes I’ll get one. Sometimes I get two or even three spam emails where it’s another internet marketer that bought my name off the list somewhere and sends me some bullshit email about the newest WordPress plugin. But I open up the email, I go straight to the unsubscribe button, unsubscribe and then come back and hit the spam button. And so it’s really really reduced that now the reason I said that was because if you start emailing people with unsolicited emails, you’re likely going to have many of them going to hit that spam button and that’s going to tank your deliverability, just like that. So if you’re going to be doing that sort of a strategy, you’re going to need a ton of email accounts ready, essentially one per day and even that, I don’t know that I’d send 1000 per day from one account. I probably split that up across multiple accounts. Okay.

Can You Still A GSite And Empower A Client’s Money Site If You Don’t Have Access To Their Email Account?

Anyways, it says when working with clients and you don’t have access to their email account, can you create a G site for them embed their properties and deliver the power to the money site URL? Well, yeah, I would never ask for access to my clients Google accounts ever never do I asked for that. So that’s how we do it right? We create and fits if it’s the same fits as I know that we used to be in our mastermind you should know that. And it might not be but ya know, like, for example, we just we create for clients created or even if for you guys that buy stuff from us, we’re going to go create a Google account.

To create your assets, the same thing with my clients, I go create a Google account, right or if they’re on G sweet, which some of them are, but most of them aren’t, then I have them add, you know, create an email or user account for me. And then I will end up, you know, giving me they, and then I asked them to give me permissions for to access the other accounts, like our Google Apps essentially within that account, right? That makes sense. And guys, you know, send a screencast video tutorial video to your users. So for example, I don’t ever ask for Google account access, but I do ask for to be added as a Google My Business Manager to their GMB for example. Right. So how do you do that? Well, unless you ask for their login details and go do it set, you know, add yourself as a manager, you know, add yourself as a manager, you got to ask them to do it. So if they don’t know how to do it, you got to provide them with instructions. The easiest way to do that, in my opinion, is to just do a quick tutorial video and show them hey, show him another GMB account. say look, login go to business google. com

Left-hand sidebar, you’re going to go click users, this little box is going to show you’re going to see a little plus icon at the top, click that to add new user at my email address from the drop-down, select, you know, manager, not site or not owner, just add me as a manager and then click you know, invite or send or whatever the button says, and I’ll get an invitation and then I’ll go be able to access you can do the same thing, if they have, you know, if you wanted it to be hosted on their main Google account, like a G site, which is unnecessary. But if you wanted to, you could give them instructions on a go into sites, google.com and add me as a user or manager, whatever, give me permission to be able to access that app within your Google account. However, it doesn’t matter because you can create the new account, build everything under the new account and then add your client Gmail account as a manager and then transfer ownership if you needed to. But again, it’s really unnecessary. It doesn’t matter who the Google account is. You can push the power the SEO juice anywhere you want. Okay.

Facebook Embed Post

Facebook also gives you an embed code for each post. Really? Yeah, it does. You so you can embed a Facebook post? Yes, that is correct. When did that start? Yeah,

it’s always been there. Yeah, it’s been rough. But Jay get. So if you get if you create, like, for instance, if you create, I don’t know, post with a link or a post with an image bubble, blah, then you can embed that somewhere. So it has to, it has to be on in your timeline. Or it has to be like, like on an open page. It can be like, if it’s a closed group, you can’t do anything with it. If if it’s a member, whatever it if it’s hidden or secret or Harvard. I don’t know too much about Facebook. I’m just there answering questions. Yeah, but if it’s open, right, and if it’s public, yes, Google will not Google Facebook will give you an embed code for that post or for whatever it

Is that you’re doing an image or video. But in those at one post though, right, correct, I don’t I think that you’re right that there’s an X breaker if you try to embed the like the entire face. Yeah. Yeah. And it has to come from a, from a Facebook page, if that makes sense. Not from a profile. You know, even if the profile is public, there’s a lot of, you know, stuff going on with privacy and whatnot. So it needs to come from a Facebook page, which is what your clients are going to be using anyway. Right. So um, so yeah, but that’s, that’s another caveat that you want to have in mind. Yeah, well, I mean, okay, so that may mean that that’s cool. And all but you know, unless you’re going to go in and update the iframe, or the embed code on a regular basis on your sites. I don’t see how I mean, obviously, if you’ve got I guess one post that you specifically trying to power up then yeah, and you could embed it and then hammer and you know, the G site or wherever you’ve got an embedded with links or something like that, but you know, typically I like to set up the iframe that is going to update dynamically. So I publish content and it’s on an automatically be in the iframe that I’m trying to power up. Do you know what I mean? So that’s cool. I didn’t, I wasn’t aware that you could embed individual posts, but say, that’s cool. I just learned something. Yep. Very cool. Yep.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords

Okay, so Gordon’s up again, it says, Thanks a lot for your previous answer. You’re welcome. He says, which brought up this question and used to be okay to use duplicate content for different sites targeting and local niche in different cities, just changing the location info one site for each city. But is that still true? I’ve never done that. Gordon. Honestly, I’ve always advocated for using unique content for all those and that’s specifically because, at some point, it could be, you know, toxic, it could you could end up catching a penalty because it is all duplicate content and duplicate content, guys, it’s supposed to be on the same domain, I get that, but on the same subdomains, you know, I don’t I don’t like that because it’s not as effective.

So what I’ve always always always suggested Yes, it has worked, you can just swap out location information. So like essentially the city modifier within the content. But it’s inexpensive to have a piece of content written and then have it rewritten, it’s a lot less expensive to have it rewritten than to have original content written for each, which by the way, when you go to a content farm, none of its original, all they’re doing is rewriting other content that they’ve scraped from the web, just so you’re aware of that, guys, when you go buy an article from a content farm. It is a rewritten article from something else on the web that they scraped, that’s it, there’s nobody there is actually writing an original article. all they’re doing is going easy and articles or somewhere else scraping an article and then rewriting it and usually it’s rewritten very poorly, by the way, but what I’m saying is you can go out and order an article, habit, you know, Britain for whatever, let’s say it’s 1000 word article, and it cost you 40 bucks. And then you have article rewrites. So let’s say you got six locations six subdomains where you got the URL

So that you paid 40 bucks for that, but then you order five rewrites, it might cost you $8 per rewrite. And now you’ve got six, original, unique, let’s just I’m using air quotes, but six or unique articles that are going to be more effective, in my opinion, long term, then having the same piece of content used across multiple sites where the only thing you change this is the location modifier. So that’s how I’ve done that, guys. I’ve got lead gen assets out there with subdomains with 20 subdomains, and they each have their own unique content. You know, and that’s specifically for that reason.

You know, again, it’s your call, I’ve always wanted to build long term assets that will rank and produce revenue for me for years, and I’ve got many of them. And so, you know, again, it’s all I always think about, it might be a little bit more expensive, a little bit more hassle on the front end. But what’s more of a hassle having assets that stopped producing or start performing poorly, because of you took shortcut cuts on the front end. You know if they’re producing revenue for you and again guys I don’t know if it works or not because I just don’t do it. I don’t know if it still works or not but other people may be able to comment and say oh it works fine that’s fine if you want to build your business that way do it you know, there’s it’s up to you. So I don’t recommend it though. Honestly, I try to do the work up front so that it will produce for me for the long term and I don’t have to continually worry about that shit.

Do you remember that when they first came out with pandas and penguins? What that what Google was asking for rich unique relevant content that’s updated on a regular basis how often they repeated that that was when the doofus what’s his name was still with with with the spam team gotten Matt Cutts right. When that was so that this is they kept asking them they didn’t they keep doing it over and over fresh, unique relevant content updated on a regular basis. But the telling you that for a reason the bot feeds of content

Now I know that people have done tests when and where, you know, they’ve used Latin. And it ranked, but there were still keywords interspersed with that Latin garbage that made it rank and that’s what the bite is feeding off. It’s feeding off that information that you’re giving it. And if you just keep pushing the same information over and over, we have seen this, again, we always test guys is why we can give you the answers to these questions. We’ve seen it time and again and local GMB Pro, that if you use different posts, that if you do it regularly, whatever regularly means for your niche because niches a different each unique niche will react differently to the post frequency. But we know that if you use fresh, unique, relevant content, update on a regular basis, fresh images or you make Google think that they’re fresh images

Marco: don’t even have to be, it’s just all about feeding them but the information that the bot is coded to look for. It’s looking for these variables, right the keyword in the right places, and in the right amount and then information. And, and it’s also looking at how a real person interacts with that content that you’re displaying. And whether that person finishes, whatever action they set out to do. All of this is part of it. Now, if you give people the same information over and over and over again until you change this is a little bit eventually that gets stale, and the bodies will be able to tell how people react to that. And the one thing you’d never want to do is you never want to send us a negative signal. We always concentrate on feeding them but the positive signals that’s going to get us positive actions and reactions going to get us better placement.

going to give us knowledge panel displays is going to get us calls. And it’s going to get us web site visits, and whatever else, right, whatever else that we’re looking for. But it all starts with your content. And yes, you can feed garbage. But eventually, what will happen is it’ll get the index just like it happened with that test website that was done. But that one was just to show what you could do with the content place in in in the right areas. And in the right amount. Guys, don’t trick yourself into thinking I’m going to take the easy way out and just change the location. Give people a reason to think about it. Think like the end user, right? If I’m going in there, and I’m looking to have my problem solved, and I keep seeing the same garbage over and over. I don’t want to deal with that. I want someone that that’s talking to me as the end user, and someone who’s going to help me solve my problem, become problem solvers and you’re going to go a long way towards really developing your content in a way that people are really going to enjoy interacting with, and in the long run is going to make your whole lot more money than taking shortcuts. Yeah.

Bradley: All right. We’re going to wrap it up here in a minute. But if it says mastermind calls from Bradley are awesome, relevant, timely, and actionable period. Thanks fits. Appreciate that. Yeah, I’ve enjoyed those calls. I had a couple of this week already. So again, I appreciate that. And then lastly, Gordon had posted one more question. That’s fine, Gordon, we appreciate that. He says, since relied on questions, I’ll ask something else. And this is a good question.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords?

He says when creating local Legion pages, is it better or easier to create a different page for each keyword or to try to rank a single location page for a bunch of different keywords? Yeah, so that’s a great question. Because several years ago, that was the method was to it was and that was the industry, right? The traditional knowledge, right was to go out and create. Each page would be optimized for a singular keyword. Right. That was really how silo structure was started.

be taught was, you go out and you create a silo and then you collect the supporting keywords for that silo and then you start creating posts within the silo that each post is optimized for one keyword. And that can still be applied today. But the thing is, though, you’re better off. So let me back up for a minute like with a complex silo, guys, there are categories and subcategories, right? And so what I’m saying is it used to be it was taught for a while the best practices was was to create your top-level keyword would be the top-level page, your top level category. And then for your next tier down of keywords, right, you’re supporting keywords, you would create a subcategory for each of those keywords. Right, so that’s a child page. And then at your post level, you would go out and take longer tail versions of your second tier keywords and you would create individual posts for each one of those that would link up to your sub-category pages, right. And so that was very granular It was like Uber optimized content. But after panda three or four I don’t even remember which one it was but it was sometime around 2014 timeframe we started noticing that that was less effective and now and that’s because guys the algorithm has gotten so much better and understanding natural language right it with AI and rank brain and all of that it understands content and its totality now a lot better than it used to, right it’s Google’s gotten incredibly advanced in that respect. And so now you can actually have longer form content that targets many semantically related keywords that’s the key right? So instead of going out and creating multiple pages, which is kind of a bitch anyway, and it’s it’s really makes as Marco was just talking about, it makes for a shitty user experience to if you go to a site and you have to click to another page to learn more about a very similar keyword anyways or product or service. So it just becomes repetition over and over and over again. And that’s less effective. So you’re better off creating a long-form piece of content, as it as a page that has a lot of your relevant similarly related keywords within that page, you can even have somewhat broader topics combined on the same page. So provided that they’re segregated by correct segments, or headings, and other words, sections within the page. So you know, and I’ve experimented with even ranking one page websites guys for, you know, multiple types of keywords like that wouldn’t even be in the same silo. But because of the way that you organize the content on the page, you can still rank for that. Here’s another example, using like Table of Contents or navigation links with hot links that go to those sections on the page. So that’s a good way to kind of set to analyze the content within a page to where you can only you can have one page that can rank for multiple keywords or themes that make sense. So to answer your question.

I wouldn’t go with optimizing for singular keywords. No, don’t get me wrong if you’re if you’re doing short blog posts, for example, I target, you know, with GMB posts a lot singular keywords, I mean, we still I still sprinkling variations of that single keyword, but there’s one primary keyword typically for me, for GMB posts. So you can still do that. But for your pages on your site, right, I’m talking about posts doing that. But for your pages on your site, which are typically what you’re trying to rank, you’re using posts to support the page, right? So for pages, I would recommend going with longer form content instead. That’s why I don’t usually recommend using complex silos anymore because you can accomplish it with simple silos, which is just categories and page, top-level categories and pages and then post supporting posts. Because complex structures are exactly what their name implies. They’re complex. They’re hard to manage. It’s hard to map out in the beginning, and it’s, it’s honestly, I think it’s overkill for most stuff, especially for local it’s overkill for most local things. All right.

Okay five o'clock I’ve got to go but I am going to read this comment real quick Jim says FYI everyone I placed an order for keyword research it was actually too good with too many keywords but they do break it down and suggest which keywords you should target which ones are good for silo and for supporting keywords. Don’t hesitate to order you won’t regret the quality time saved that it takes the guesswork out of it. shipped Marco trains them. Hello. Thanks, Jim. Jim. So, Alright guys, everybody. We appreciate you being here. I’m kind of digging this app even though it looks old school. It’s kind of cool. what you guys think. I like it. I mean, it works. Yeah. Works. Nobody’s complaining about getting locked out of any account so far. So we’ll see. All right, everybody. We’ll see you guys tomorrow on the mastermind and everyone else next week. Thanks for being here, man. Later see

So those are the announcements I think I nailed it. I might have something I’m going to paste Now I need to copy and paste some stuff on the thing so so yeah, there was we got I guess,

Bradley: Let me tease what you’re doing tomorrow or non so that you don’t have to toot your own horn. We got, we’ve been doing kind of a series in the mastermind. We’re probably going to end up launching a product around it anyways, but it’s Pay Per Click marketing for local and how to get results. We had a course that I produced about two, maybe two and a half years ago now called Local Kingpin. And it was specifically for using Google AdWords obviously, it’s now Google ads, but formerly Google AdWords for setting up lead gen assets and dry and using, you know, producing leads for local businesses, either on a client basis or even on a lead gen basis where you’re selling leads. And that worked really well. But the Google Ads dash dashboard, the whole platform has evolved a lot in the last two and a half years, considerably. And, you know, Google Ads themselves for search ads, excuse me, so search ads are rather expensive, you can still be profitable with that. There’s no question but it’s fucking expensive. So I’ve actually gotten away from using search ads and get more into using display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing obviously, and it works really well because the display ads are the display ad platform is so much better than it used to be. And you know, years ago when I had developed the local kingpin training

It was in that method that I was using display ads. Suck it, they might have worked, but it sucked setting them up because you had to go out in the order or design your own banner ads and you had designed them and all the various sizes that you wanted to display them in. So the leaderboard, and you know, this 350 by 250 rectangles, you know, all these different sizes. And so it was a pain in the ass, I would hire a graphic designer to develop a set of banner ads, and that would be one set of banner ads, and it might cost me 50 or 60 bucks. If you wanted to split test, you’d have to pay for another set of ads, right. And so it was just it was you’d have to wait for you know, several days to get them back from the designer. And it’s a real pain in the ass. And so it wasn’t very efficient. And it wasn’t very effective unless you really split test a lot and then found a winning combination of ads. But now what you can do on the Display Network when you’re setting up display ads is you actually just import photos, it photos and images and let your logo as well and

It’s a square version and rectangular version for each. And then you get to add up to five short headlines, one long headline and then up to five descriptions. So and there’s, you know, character limits for each. But then what Google does is Google will create responsive display ads out of just the images that you upload it to just regular photos will work or graphics, either one and then will automatically start rotating through your various headlines and descriptions to find out which gets the highest click through as an engagement. And then it will start to auto-optimize the campaign and start serving the ads that are the combinations that performed the best more and more often. And so it’s so much easier to set up a campaign now. And although obviously, display ads don’t convert nearly as well as like search ads do, it’s a fraction of the cost guys, and with the audience targeting that Google Display Network has now or Google has period. They have what they call in market audiences and life event audiences and you can even create custom intent audiences.

is now based on keywords which are really cool. I just started playing with that actually. And so if you go and find the you know in the in the in the in-market audience targeting settings if you can go in and find an end market audience for the businesses that you’re generating leads for then those tend to be very good and like for me for contractors typically a the average cost per click runs between anywhere between about 85 cents to $1 50. So somewhere in that range depending on what type of contractor it is that I’m generating leads for. And so that’s a fraction of the cost it just for it’s just quickly for some perspective here, for roofing leads, for example, it could in some of the areas that I do SEO work and generate leads for roofers of roofing. A click for search ads for roofing type keywords can cost 35 to $40 per click. And you know, typically an average conversion rate is somewhere anywhere between 32

40% right, so you’re talking about three clicks to get one lead at $35 per click, that’s $105 per lead. That, to me is incredibly expensive. But with those, if you can there in the market audience targeting, you can actually see that there are a roofing odd Roofing Services in the market audience, and you can use that for display ads. And maybe this says you pay $1 per click will just use a nice round number. And it might be a 10% conversion rate as opposed to 30 or even a 5% conversion rate, which means you need 20 clicks to get one lead, but 20 clicks at $1 to get one lead guy think about that as 20 bucks per lead as opposed to 100 bucks per lead when you’re using search ads. So keep that in mind and that’s for cold traffic. But also for remarketing purposes. Like honestly, if you’re not using remarketing in you’re doing Client Services, you’re nuts because it’s just an inexpensive way to get additional traffic back to

The site and even if that traffic doesn’t convert a lot, a lot of it will, but doesn’t convert into leads. It’s a great branding tool to help that business to gain brand recognition so that people will think of them and go search for their brand name when it’s time for them to need their product or service because they’re constantly reminded of that business. So, long story short,

we’re going to work we’ve been doing a series of training inside the mastermind about using Google ads for Local Lead Generation, not search ads, but display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing ads. And tomorrow Hernan being the Facebook marketing expert that he is, he’s coming into the mastermind to do a full training on how to use Facebook ads for Local Lead Generation. And then we’re actually going to probably be packaging all that up over the next 60 to 90 days at some point and then launching that as a separate product as kind of an update to local kingpin, but we’re going to rebrand it because it’s really going to be a whole new course. Did you guys lose me?

Hernan: No

Bradley: I got a frozen screen. Okay, yeah, there you go. Okay, so anyways, just kind of wanted to teach you guys a little bit on what’s going on in the mastermind tomorrow. Those of you that are the mastermind a lot there’s been a discussion thread by the way or not, did you see the discussion thread in the Facebook group, but are saying that we’re going to rope you into actually contributing more than just the mastermind because they want a full soup to nuts type train. Yeah. So yeah, well, yeah, if there’s a need for it,  you know, the mastermind has the privilege that you know, if you guys there’s a real need about, you know, a specific type of training that you guys want to go after, then we can make a series there’s no problem about that. We’re all about, you know, serving our members as much as we possibly can. So that if that, you know, we have a good response tomorrow, that’s potentially going to happen, at least initially within the mastermind, and then we’ll go from there. But yeah, my idea is to cover as much terrain as possible tomorrow specifically, and then if we need to do another iteration of the, of the training or you know, walk you guys through a couple of case studies. So for instance, I was going through one of the clients that I manage, and we, so he’s a chiropractor. He’s a local chiropractor, and he has four clinics in Dallas. And over the past, I would say over the past six months, we have spent around $160,000 in advertising, and we have generated almost 4000 confirm appointments to those four offices. Now that is rough. So he is charging $49 per appointment, right? It’s an intra massage offer. So he’s charging $49 per appointment. We’re getting him we’re getting those appointments for around 39 to $40. So he’s, you know, making money on the front end, but that’s not even the best thing. The best thing is that each customer forth to him on average $300 you know because they show up to his office and they buy a bunch of stuff and they buy additional massages and they buy so that’s

Average and that’s on the low side. So there’s, there’s effectively we have been moving the needle real hard. He’s super happy Of course because he’s growing. He’s expanding locations and whatnot, and some of the stuff that we were able to implement for him. We will be talking about tomorrow on the mastermind, so it’s going to be pretty cool. Yeah, awesome. Yeah. Alright, so the last thing we’re going to tease before we get into questions, which we were kind of just hoping that more questions would fill in this chat box anyways, uh, we’ve got video lead gen system

to Dotto really is launching next week, next Tuesday. As a matter of fact, we’re going to talk about it well, the first part of next week’s webinar, Hump Day hangouts is going to be where we’re going to, you know, kind of get into some detail about what it’s about and all that because I completely updated it so that still the old training is there, the old method, which I did for years, but over the last several months, I’ve been really redeveloping that method to make it more streamlined and efficient, something that a lot of it can be outsourced, but also just to make it to where, even if you were doing this yourself like, you know, managing the all of the video lead gen or video email campaigns on your own, I don’t recommend that. But if a lot of people still going to do it on their own anyway, it’s a lot more efficient now to where what used to take roughly 20 to 30 minutes per video email to send out. Now what will take you just two to three minutes No kidding, there’s there will be a setup period on the front end where you can’t get into the method here, there’ll be a setup period where it might take you an hour to get everything set up. But then from there for every prospect you want to mail to, it’s literally two to three minutes. And that’s it. And so it’s a hell of a lot more efficient. And I’ve tested a lot of different follow-up methods from that as well to once you are notified of engagement and I talked about all of this in the training and found several different methods that work really well to the kind of get the conversation going and stuff and so I go into great detail. It’s basically a whole new course but you’re still going to get the original version, as well as the Everything’s under

The same membership site now. So there’s the original version, which still works, but it’s a bit more time-consuming. And then there’s the newer version that can be applied to pretty much any sort of marketing service I use specifically one, were really two types of methods for monetizing it. In the examples and in the training, I talked about how to use it for monetizing lead gen assets. And then I also talked about for client services, if you’re just doing outreach for clients instead of lead generation service providers. Then, you know, there’s a method I talked about specifically optimizing GMB stuff, but it can be modified or an applied to pretty much any sort of service that you offer. So if you’re a digital marketer does Facebook ads like her non for example, you could still use the video lead gen system, you just obviously are going to talk about how you can get results with Facebook as opposed to how you can get results with Google My Business. So any of you guys one of the things that we do is we surveyed you guys on a consistent basis to find out what what-what our audience needs, and something that comes up all the time is client getting right? securing clients and that kind of stuff. And so that’s really what this was all about. It’s so that you guys can go out and least get the conversation started. It’s not sales training. I’m not real good at sales unless I got a referral, like been referral but as far as getting the conversation going for prospecting, it’s an outstanding way to do it’s very unique, you’ll get a lot of responses that way. And then it’s really going to be up to you to present your offer in such a way that you close the client, you know what I mean? Or the prospect at that point. So anyways, be on the lookout for that guys. Next week, we’re going to do like we typically have done in the past, which is a limited offer on the front end for 24 hours and then the price will go up. And that’s typically how we do that. So be on the lookout for that next week.

Okay, anything else? I think we’re good.

Alright, cool. Let’s get into questions. Alright, so with our 1989 looking chat box, which kind of cool though. Let’s get into it will start at the top

What Are Your Thoughts On Keyword Research Ninja?

KT says what are your thoughts on keyword research ninja? I have no thoughts on it whatsoever I’ve never used it I really don’t use any keyword research tools anymore other than Power Suggest Pro, Google AdWords you know, the Google Ads keyword planner for because I still do PPC stuff. And then we have our own in-house keyword research product that is like anytime you need keywords, that’s, you know, our go-to source now is MGYB? We have the keyword research done over there because it takes hours to compile a good list of keywords. Really, you can spend hours doing that and organizing the keywords into silos and you know, proper themes and that kind of stuff. And that’s what our, you know, our product on keyword research is specifically it’s you know, our assistant or employee that does all of that have access to multiple tools, SEM Rush, Power Suggest Pro, you know, all different kinds of tools that she uses to actually develop these reports and puts them into silos and all that kind of stuff. So different type of intent keywords, commercial intent, informational queries, that kind of stuff. So it just makes it super easy. So honestly, I can’t give you an opinion on any of those keyword tools because I just don’t use them. It just requires too much time in my opinion. And I’d rather outsource that or use a simple tool when I’m going to do it myself such as Power Suggest Pro. Marco or anybody else wants to comment on any of those.

Marco: I agree that that’s all I use. I use our keyword research. I mean, I taught them how to do it for a reason it’s based on the way that you do it. And the way that I do it, which is Google Trends and power suggest Pro with Google ads, right the Keyword Planner Tool, and but the basis is right there. Then we go into everything else and we drill down as much as we can get as much information as possible go to Answer the Public. We just use just a ton of different tools that we can get all of the keywords. I mean, you get thousands sometimes I see our report come back, and it’s 7, 8, 9 thousand keywords strong. And I’m thinking, this is like the best way to take down a market. Let me if you really need to start and understand your market and the words involved in your market. There’s nothing better. I mean, I don’t know I can’t speak on keyword research Ninja, it might be fabulous. But I can’t say anything other than the way that we have it set up works perfectly well for what we do. Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah. And again, it’s the amount of time that goes into that, you know, I got away from doing it myself because it just takes too much time. Especially to Oregon. Like it’s easy to spit out a bunch of keywords with a tool but to organize them in proper themes, you know, and basically silos and that kind of stuff and intent type people words like that’s yet I mean, as far as I know, that’s manual. I don’t know tools that actually do that maybe keyword research and into does that. I don’t know, I don’t even look at tools like that anymore. So, unfortunately, I can’t give you a good answer to that.

Does Using Subdomains Produce Better SEO Juice Than Using Pages For Multi-City Local Lead Gen Site?

Gordon’s up he says thank you very much again for the help you provide on hump days. You’re welcome. He says he when setting up a multi-city local lead gen site you have advised in the past few subdomains of the main domain for each city instead of using a page under the main domain. When using pages, I know that the SEO juice can be spread among all the city pages, but when using subdomains is the SEO just spread among all the subdomains to help each other one rank met each one rank better, or does each subdomain stand on its own for SEO purposes? Well, it’s a little of both Gordon because, again, a subdomain is treated as a separate entity by Google right. But there is the parent domain being the root domain. So you can the way I always looked at it was subdomains and other subdomains of the same root domain are called siblings, sibling domains, right and the parent domain being the root.

And so what happens is each one of the subdomains or sibling domains are their own standalone sites, which is good for protection purposes. And that’s what we’ve talked about. That’s the reason why I’ve always done that. Now, it’s funny because I really don’t do anything spammy anymore, at least not to the actual money sites. So I can probably get away with just doing the inner pages, but it’s still allowed. You’re still a, you know, and that it doesn’t mean that what we do right now, doesn’t couldn’t be considered spammy tomorrow, because we don’t work for Google. Right. And so even though I’ve never really had, at least for several years now, I haven’t had any issues with getting sites deindexed or penalize. I’ve always kept using subdomains specifically to minimize risk, right to reduce exposure, so to speak. Because as I’ve said before, if you put all of your location pages on the root, so their inner pages, right, and if you catch a penalty against any one of those pages, it could pull the whole site down and all of your other location pages.

Although again, as I said, the methods that we teach, haven’t knock on wood, they haven’t created any penalties that I’m aware of, for any of my own stuff, as well as any of our students, okay, that I’m aware of. And so you could probably get away with doing it on inner pages for management purposes, that would be much easier for there’s no doubt because you’d all you’d have just one site to manage. That said, though, just keep in mind that that’s putting all of your eggs in one basket. So if Google decides to take that basket, or destroy one of the eggs in that basket, it could very well hurt all the others as well. So back to the original question, a subdomain is kind of a standalone site in that if a subdomain was to catch a penalty, for some reason or another, it would only affect that subdomain, the route would be left intact would remain healthy and all of the other sibling domains or subdomains would also remain healthy, untouched, essentially, from that penalty that’s been levied against that one subdomain. So it’s isolates any potential penalty problems. However, if you were to catch a penalty against the root domain, it would automatically apply to all of the child domains or subdomains. Does that make sense? So that’s why we all I’ve done that in the past was to always protect the root against all odds, right? Protect the root. And then if I was going to do anything spammy, it would be on a subdomain level. And that was specifically for that reason.

However, what you can do is in this is something I’ve actually been testing recently, but I don’t have enough time passed to see in fact, I just talked about this on the last mastermind webinar, so 13 days ago, actually, about how to use subdomains and the root domain in conjunction to kind of power it up. And I can’t give away the the the method here because it can’t do that because it’s kind of an extension of something that we teach in our paid courses. But there is a way to still use somebody domains and use the root domain to kind of help power up the subdomains, with inner pages without doing anything that could catch it catch up a penalty to your route. But again, you know, as far as does the subdomains benefit each other, yes, it may not be quite as a quick effect or, or might not be as effective as inner pages. But here’s the thing, every one of those subdomains are still attached to the root, right. So again, the root domain being the parent domain is going to benefit now, you guys know we don’t talk. We don’t care much about metrics. We stopped caring about proprietary third-party metrics several years ago, but let’s just use one as an example because a lot of you guys will understand it this way. Let’s just use domain authority Moz’s metric and page authority is an example okay?

When you have a domain authority that sitewide including subdomains, right, so for example, if you have a domain authority of 20 five on the root, then your subdomains, when you create a new subdomain, it won’t automatically be 25. I don’t think so. But it will become it will benefit from the domain authority of the parent domain. And so what I have found over the years now that I’ve been developing these multi-location sites using subdomains is that at first, when you start developing, like, let’s say you start off with two locations, so you’ve got the root domain, and then to subdomains at, you know, each subdomain being four different location. And then you add, so you start optimizing, you know, doing what you do to get results. And then you add a third location. Well, that third location tech, you know, typically, according to my experience, will, will often start to get results faster than the first two dead, because it’s actually benefiting from some of the authority that has been accrued or you know, accumulated from the previous two subdomains and the route altogether, right. So as a whole, it’s now that that new subdomain is actually benefiting from the authority that has accrued from the previous two and the route itself if that makes sense. So then you add a fourth subdomain and you know, fourth location, and a fifth and a six. And what happens is I start to see each new location that I add, tends to respond quicker get results faster than the previous one, because it’s actually benefiting from the authority of the, you know, cluster essentially, that’s it’s the root domain, as well as its additional its other siblings. So, again, if you’re doing just inner pages, you’ll probably be going to get a faster effect from that. But I found that you know, as you continue to build out additional subdomains, they helped to, they kind of benefit or receive benefit from all of the previous subdomains as well. So they’re at their birth point, right. The moment that you create that subdomain, it really already has some inherent authority because of it being a subdomain of a root domain that has built authority or crude authority if that makes sense.

So, anyway, I can’t get into any more further of that, honestly, because I will be giving away too much. Come join the mastermind and will tell you all about it. So, Marco, do you want to comment on that at all or Hernan?

Marco: Now, just to validate a little bit what you’re talking about on domains, we see that domain subdomain. We see that when we do drive stacks, and we add additional folders and files, right? The more you add the more power that as you say, a cruise and I call it power. I don’t give a shit about domain authority or trust flow. I don’t give a crap about any of that its power. And so the more that you do have whatever it is that you’re doing inside the drive stack, the more power that you pushing through, and the more power that ends up wherever it is that you got that drives tech game. That’s why they work so well. Yeah. And so the more work that you do inside, the more keywords that you target, whether it’s keyword plus location or service, whatever it is that you’re doing.

You do more of it inside your drive stack. And before you know it, I mean, it’s just pushing tons of power wherever it is that you want to go. And we’ve seen people live from case studies that they even get an empty folder to rank before anything else rank. So it’s crazy the amount of power that you can do in this method, whether you’re doing it at the TL D and subdomain level or at the drive stack and G site level. Right?

Twitter Embed Code Not Displaying Properly In GSite

So if it says it says good day Semantic Mastery team thanks for this form to ask questions and get real answers. When optimizing the site, I framed Twitter the area stays blank with no message saying it won’t connect. Is that still okay? All right. I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But I know that if you just take a Twitter URL, tweet URL, a Twitter profile, URL, whatever and try to use an iframe create generator that it won’t show you have to go into Twitter developers and actually generate an embed code for it which you can do with like your timeline, tweets and stuff. So for example, you can take a Twitter profile and go to

The developers, I think it’s developers.twitter.com or something like that just do a Google search, you’ll see what I mean. And you can ask you, or even just go to Google and search, how do you create or embed a Twitter feed? And that’s what you would? Again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But if I was going to try, and I haven’t, so I haven’t tested it with G sites, guys, but you could probably it’s probably you’re using the wrong type of embed code. And that’s why it’s not displaying is what I’m saying. If you go generate the correct proper embed code from the Twitter developers site, or whatever, whatever it is, again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff, just like you can, you know, I recently I built Believe it or not, I built some PB ends recently because I was testing. I don’t use PB ends. Often guys, I very rarely use them. But I did build a few that I was testing and somebody product actually. And one of the things that they required was that you had made the site look, you know, very real. So one of the things that asked for was embedding a Twitter feed, so I had some persona profiles from some older since networks that I had built that had Twitter profiles with, you know, updates. And so I just had I had, that’s how I learned to go build this little embed code. And that’s a Twitter feed in bed, that you have to go to the developers console and sign into that account. And then you create it that way. And it gives you the specific embed code for that Twitter feed. So it’s probably that you’re using the wrong one. Now, I could be wrong guys. Because like said, I don’t do much of that stuff with Twitter at all. But I’m pretty sure if you’re trying to use just an iframe generator with a Twitter profile or something like that, it’s going to be blank, it’s going to not work.

Can You iFrame A Facebook Business Page?

Now, the next part of that question is, can you iframe in a Facebook business page? As far as I know, no, I Facebook has iframe breakers that won’t allow you to embed them anywhere using any sort of tool. If anybody has a different answer please speak up.

Hernan: I think you’re right Bradley on that on that and I haven’t personally tried to iframe Facebook but I know that you know, Facebook is kind of against that other than Facebook videos, you know that what you can allow and but you can embed that an iframe that but other than that, I wouldn’t know? Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah, I know. There are some like plugins and stuff that will allow you to embed a or you know, display a Facebook page. But it actually Yes, you have to connect it via API and all that kind of stuff like, so there are WordPress plugins that will do that. But as far as just an embed code from Facebook, I don’t think that’s possible. Once again, I don’t do much Facebook stuff. So I couldn’t tell you with all certainty, but I can I know that, like, if you try to just take a Facebook URL, and iframe it, it won’t it all, it will never display anywhere. I’ve never seen that ever work. So you have to use stuff that connects via API or authorize or what are they called Facebook apps or whatever. We actually create all that shit in order just to get even a Facebook page to show in like a widget area on a website.

Hernan: Um, so yeah, and they’re even more like they’re, they’re even more like restrictive with all of the privacy stuff that they’re going through. So that you may want to consider so.

Bradley: yeah, and then you try to iframe or when you try to embed a Facebook comments app you see what happens the previous couple on the Hangouts that and I get it I guess that’s because people can act that shit so right cool we’re going to keep moving. This chat is already thousand better than anything before devices that is cool thanks to Vaughn I’m glad you guys liked it for a bus the new battle call right revert I think that’s one of the guests says get repeatable oh that’s you that was you that’s maybe a farm setting up by a cat gotcha well mines Bradley hmm feisty forehead motherfucker in charge just in case you guys wondered what that was all about.

Do Semantic Mastery RYS Stacks Add More Value To An Existing Syndication Network & GMB Page?

Bradley: The humanoid says Marco I have an RYS Drive stack order pending and creating an RYS stack I have my syndication network complete in my see when creating a try so that I have my syndication network completed my GMB URL done. would it add more value when I have you build my RYS stacks. Thank you will thank you will

I know that was directed to Marco I’m gonna put my two cents in first before Marco answers. And if you already have your syndication network all your profile URLs to become target URLs as well. guys remember it’s just kind of about it’s just like internal linking right with your syndication network. It’s there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be powering up your tier one assets as well. So if you have all of that I would actually absolutely include those but Marco, that’s more question for you.

Marco: Yeah, I’m thinking that he wants to know if he should have the team, put them into the bill, by all means, that that’s your tier one branded, it should be included and then So when did he get the spreadsheet to hit with link building. That’s what’s going to get hit your tier one branded your GMB and everything that’s inside that drive stack. So yes, by all means, have at it, and you’re going to see some really good results. I’ve been getting a bunch of testimony.

By the way of about people having to build links to their dry stacks and then the drive stacks just going crazy. Yeah once they get some the link building done so yes have added the same thing with the ad ID page. I’ve done some testing with that and just and that’s what I loved about it. It’s one of the easiest methods because all you gotta do is go submit link building gig order to you know, I wouldn’t say to just anybody but Daddy has got it down to a science and just taking like the ad ID the iframe loop stuff that we’ve talked about and again our paid courses and almost all of them it’s available that that just works really well and again, that’s just what that magic of I frames and when you combine that with Dr. stacks or even dr stacks alone, but that’s part of it because of you know, iframe in that gets done in the site, everything else so it’s just incredibly powerful. And just hitting those that’s the beautiful thing about it guys is you know, the daddy has link building pack service which is in MYB, right? They’re still spam links, but he’s good at what he does. He’s a pro, he’s a professional, there’s no doubt and because of that, he knows how to make it really effective. And then when you use something like Google assets as the target or Amazon domain as the primary target, then it can take that kind of abuse like you can hammer away at it, and it can take it and filter it like a champ. In fact, it just kind of powers it up. Now, it’s not something that I would ever direct to the money site, but you can do you know what I mean, but you can do it two very powerful tier one assets, which is why we developed the way that we do so that’s why we don’t even use VPN, who needs a pbn? When we can use Google and Amazon assets to create the same effect and then you spam links as opposed to and I call them spam and everybody who want to do spam. But guys, I mean, that’s what link building tools do they create spam links, you can call them whatever you want. That’s really what they are. Right and so pbn links are technically spammed links to you might be buying links from you know, a domain that has good metrics, but unless it’s super well themed and all that they’re typically spam links anyways, you know what I mean? So it’s just it’s about how you use them and what you point them at. And so we recommend doing it the way that you know, at least our method we use our method for specifically for a reason. It’s efficient, and it works well. Right.

All right old school, like daddy says, will it be set up like this tomorrow? Hernan? What’s tomorrow?

Hernan: The webinar? webinar or mastermind? Yeah, now it’s gonna be on a mastermind. Yeah. It’ll be in the regular mastermind.

Bradley: Jim, think that’s when? Yeah, just the regular master the live mastermind webinar page, just like we’ve always been doing over there. I we haven’t had any problems with that over there. Now it’s in the bond site. Yeah, right. The membership site, right.

So as far as I know, we’ve never had any problems not one complaint with it over there. We had a problem with the Disqus chat app. on these pages for some reason I think it’s a Click Funnels issue like it just didn’t jive well but on the traditional mastermind webinars inside the membership site we haven’t ever had a complaint on that so if I’m wrong and you guys got some complaints about it to make them known to make them known over there in the Facebook group not here.

How Would You Strategize Sending Out An Email Campaign For Over A Year?

I blue panda whoever that is, is hey guys hope this Jeff Oh, what the hell? That’s the same as what we had before. Maybe not okay. Hey, guys hope this chat function works better than this. That piece of shit Facebook jet cheese. Yeah. Or Geez, you’re right. That was terrible. Okay, onto my question. I have a list for my niche that is big enough to send 1000 emails per day for over a year. Wow. This is simply a law of big numbers campaign for my client. These will be a one time blast. Either they respond or they don’t and the next class goes out the next day what would be the best way to approach a list of this size style of sending? I don’t know I’ve never spammed at that level before. Spam demon.

And that’s exactly what you’re doing. So the best person to answer that question is unfortunately not here. That’s Chris, our partner, Chris, he, he’s been doing that kind of work for four years. He can give you the best advice on that. But he’s not here. I’m sorry, he’s traveling. Yeah, the only thing I would know to say is that make sure that you have plenty of sending from domain email account. So in other words, making sure that you’ve got several many, many, many different email account setup, you know, that you can send from because you’re probably going to burn every single account that you send from like, almost every day.

I don’t know for sure, because it depends on how clean your list is. But typically, when you’re sending out mass emails like that, from a particular account, especially 1000 per day, you have to have accounts that have developed some sort of reputation for or else when you go to hit send on 1000 emails from an account that’s not really seasoned. It will you know, the is the internet search or email service providers will throttle those accounts and not the inbox. You know a bunch of them and also with people will start hitting the spam button which it’s likely if they were unsolicited emails, you will get a lot of people hitting the spam button, it will flag that particular domain account for or domain email excuse me for spam and so it will like they’ll just stop unboxing her nine you were going to comment? Yeah, yeah,

I agree with you. What I was about to say is that if you want to, you know, reach out to Chris just post in the Facebook group and maybe take him I don’t know if blue pen is on the mastermind group. Yeah, if you’re in the mastermind, we could get to it. You know, Chris will give you a lot of help out there. Otherwise, you could try it in the free Facebook group and I don’t know how much he’ll reveal about something like that there. But yeah, that’s the only problem like guys I talked about this a few weeks ago, but you know, I got I’ve unsubscribed from just about every single marketing list that I’m I’ve ever been on.

Over the last several months, because I decided to get really focused and you know, buying shiny objects and getting pitched new training, you know, methods and stuff like that all the time was really, and I, you know, there’s they’re kind of happens in cycles. I know a lot of you guys we’ve I’ve talked with a lot of our mastermind members over the last several months I do calls now with, you know, one on one calls with mastermind members, as a new member, you get a one on one call with one of us. And then every quarter or so I try to open up the ability to have another 30 minute call with me so I can kind of help you know, find out more about people in our mastermind and what struggles are going through and offer some guidance and and and, you know, 90 days to six months and three to six months, I have another call with them, find out if they made any progress, and they’re going to have new issues at that point. So one of the things that I’ve heard a lot through those calls without calling anybody out is that, you know, constantly being bombarded with different opportunities. And that’s because we’re all marketers, right? And so we’ve gone out and been signed up for whatever ours, which puts us on email list or we bought products, which puts us on email lists. And the next thing you know, we get hammered and you guys can all relate I’m sure you get hammered and hammered and hammered all the time with solicitation offers for training or for software or tools or services and all that kind of stuff. And you know,

I found that although they may be interesting and sometimes entertaining to go like watch webinars or to go check out the new sales page of the new tool that or software or WordPress plugin or whatever the hell it is, that typically just distracts from making any progress a real progress in my business and you know, over the years I’ve gone up and down with that, you know, sometimes a more susceptible to that other times I’m not but over the last many months now I really just started to unsubscribe from you know, ton of people’s emails. The reason I started saying that was because my oldest email account that is the account that I use, it’s a Yahoo account, Yahoo mail account, that’s the one that I used to always sign up for stuff like I don’t use my main Gmail accounts for for to sign up for lists or two webinars and things like that, because I knew that I get on a spam list, right and people would start spamming me. I’m still getting a ton of spam over there. But I’ve never voluntarily or I very, very rarely voluntarily used one of those primary Gmail type email addresses for signing up for that stuff. But I had a Yahoo mail account that was just getting spammed to death. And so over the last several months, I have really, really gotten a much better handle on that too. Because what I’ve done is I’ve gone every time I get an email now I just daily maintenance Now, every single day, I go through my Yahoo account probably two maybe three times a day. And if there’s an email that came is comes to me that I was unsolicited, which is you know, it’s they don’t come nearly as often as they used to now, I open up the email, I scroll right to the bottom finance subscribe button, I click it and make sure you know in the page reloads that it’s that in the net new tab that I’ve unsubscribed. Then I close that tab and I go back in and I click the spam button and Yahoo

And I do that every single day. And, you know, I used to get literally dozens, sometimes hundreds of emails per day, as many of you guys can probably relate. And now I swear to God, this is no bullshit over the last, probably five to six weeks now, I might get two or three emails per day and some days I don’t get any spam or unsolicited emails anymore. And that’s because I’ve gotten into the habit of doing that. So now it’s much more manageable like that, that email counts almost like a clean account. Now I do still get occasional as I said, Sometimes I’ll get one. Sometimes I get two or even three spam emails where it’s another internet marketer that bought my name off the list somewhere and sends me some bullshit email about the newest WordPress plugin. But I open up the email, I go straight to the unsubscribe button, unsubscribe and then come back and hit the spam button. And so it’s really really reduced that now the reason I said that was because if you start emailing people with unsolicited emails, you’re likely going to have many of them going to hit that spam button and that’s going to tank your deliverability, just like that. So if you’re going to be doing that sort of a strategy, you’re going to need a ton of email accounts ready, essentially one per day and even that, I don’t know that I’d send 1000 per day from one account. I probably split that up across multiple accounts. Okay.

Can You Still A GSite And Empower A Client’s Money Site If You Don’t Have Access To Their Email Account?

Anyways, it says when working with clients and you don’t have access to their email account, can you create a G site for them embed their properties and deliver the power to the money site URL? Well, yeah, I would never ask for access to my clients Google accounts ever never do I asked for that. So that’s how we do it right? We create and fits if it’s the same fits as I know that we used to be in our mastermind you should know that. And it might not be but ya know, like, for example, we just we create for clients created or even if for you guys that buy stuff from us, we’re going to go create a Google account.

To create your assets, the same thing with my clients, I go create a Google account, right or if they’re on G sweet, which some of them are, but most of them aren’t, then I have them add, you know, create an email or user account for me. And then I will end up, you know, giving me they, and then I asked them to give me permissions for to access the other accounts, like our Google Apps essentially within that account, right? That makes sense. And guys, you know, send a screencast video tutorial video to your users. So for example, I don’t ever ask for Google account access, but I do ask for to be added as a Google My Business Manager to their GMB for example. Right. So how do you do that? Well, unless you ask for their login details and go do it set, you know, add yourself as a manager, you know, add yourself as a manager, you got to ask them to do it. So if they don’t know how to do it, you got to provide them with instructions. The easiest way to do that, in my opinion, is to just do a quick tutorial video and show them hey, show him another GMB account. say look, login go to business google. com

Left-hand sidebar, you’re going to go click users, this little box is going to show you’re going to see a little plus icon at the top, click that to add new user at my email address from the drop-down, select, you know, manager, not site or not owner, just add me as a manager and then click you know, invite or send or whatever the button says, and I’ll get an invitation and then I’ll go be able to access you can do the same thing, if they have, you know, if you wanted it to be hosted on their main Google account, like a G site, which is unnecessary. But if you wanted to, you could give them instructions on a go into sites, google.com and add me as a user or manager, whatever, give me permission to be able to access that app within your Google account. However, it doesn’t matter because you can create the new account, build everything under the new account and then add your client Gmail account as a manager and then transfer ownership if you needed to. But again, it’s really unnecessary. It doesn’t matter who the Google account is. You can push the power the SEO juice anywhere you want. Okay.

Facebook Embed Post

Facebook also gives you an embed code for each post. Really? Yeah, it does. You so you can embed a Facebook post? Yes, that is correct. When did that start? Yeah,

it’s always been there. Yeah, it’s been rough. But Jay get. So if you get if you create, like, for instance, if you create, I don’t know, post with a link or a post with an image bubble, blah, then you can embed that somewhere. So it has to, it has to be on in your timeline. Or it has to be like, like on an open page. It can be like, if it’s a closed group, you can’t do anything with it. If if it’s a member, whatever it if it’s hidden or secret or Harvard. I don’t know too much about Facebook. I’m just there answering questions. Yeah, but if it’s open, right, and if it’s public, yes, Google will not Google Facebook will give you an embed code for that post or for whatever it

Is that you’re doing an image or video. But in those at one post though, right, correct, I don’t I think that you’re right that there’s an X breaker if you try to embed the like the entire face. Yeah. Yeah. And it has to come from a, from a Facebook page, if that makes sense. Not from a profile. You know, even if the profile is public, there’s a lot of, you know, stuff going on with privacy and whatnot. So it needs to come from a Facebook page, which is what your clients are going to be using anyway. Right. So um, so yeah, but that’s, that’s another caveat that you want to have in mind. Yeah, well, I mean, okay, so that may mean that that’s cool. And all but you know, unless you’re going to go in and update the iframe, or the embed code on a regular basis on your sites. I don’t see how I mean, obviously, if you’ve got I guess one post that you specifically trying to power up then yeah, and you could embed it and then hammer and you know, the G site or wherever you’ve got an embedded with links or something like that, but you know, typically I like to set up the iframe that is going to update dynamically. So I publish content and it’s on an automatically be in the iframe that I’m trying to power up. Do you know what I mean? So that’s cool. I didn’t, I wasn’t aware that you could embed individual posts, but say, that’s cool. I just learned something. Yep. Very cool. Yep.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords

Okay, so Gordon’s up again, it says, Thanks a lot for your previous answer. You’re welcome. He says, which brought up this question and used to be okay to use duplicate content for different sites targeting and local niche in different cities, just changing the location info one site for each city. But is that still true? I’ve never done that. Gordon. Honestly, I’ve always advocated for using unique content for all those and that’s specifically because, at some point, it could be, you know, toxic, it could you could end up catching a penalty because it is all duplicate content and duplicate content, guys, it’s supposed to be on the same domain, I get that, but on the same subdomains, you know, I don’t I don’t like that because it’s not as effective.

So what I’ve always always always suggested Yes, it has worked, you can just swap out location information. So like essentially the city modifier within the content. But it’s inexpensive to have a piece of content written and then have it rewritten, it’s a lot less expensive to have it rewritten than to have original content written for each, which by the way, when you go to a content farm, none of its original, all they’re doing is rewriting other content that they’ve scraped from the web, just so you’re aware of that, guys, when you go buy an article from a content farm. It is a rewritten article from something else on the web that they scraped, that’s it, there’s nobody there is actually writing an original article. all they’re doing is going easy and articles or somewhere else scraping an article and then rewriting it and usually it’s rewritten very poorly, by the way, but what I’m saying is you can go out and order an article, habit, you know, Britain for whatever, let’s say it’s 1000 word article, and it cost you 40 bucks. And then you have article rewrites. So let’s say you got six locations six subdomains where you got the URL

So that you paid 40 bucks for that, but then you order five rewrites, it might cost you $8 per rewrite. And now you’ve got six, original, unique, let’s just I’m using air quotes, but six or unique articles that are going to be more effective, in my opinion, long term, then having the same piece of content used across multiple sites where the only thing you change this is the location modifier. So that’s how I’ve done that, guys. I’ve got lead gen assets out there with subdomains with 20 subdomains, and they each have their own unique content. You know, and that’s specifically for that reason.

You know, again, it’s your call, I’ve always wanted to build long term assets that will rank and produce revenue for me for years, and I’ve got many of them. And so, you know, again, it’s all I always think about, it might be a little bit more expensive, a little bit more hassle on the front end. But what’s more of a hassle having assets that stopped producing or start performing poorly, because of you took shortcut cuts on the front end. You know if they’re producing revenue for you and again guys I don’t know if it works or not because I just don’t do it. I don’t know if it still works or not but other people may be able to comment and say oh it works fine that’s fine if you want to build your business that way do it you know, there’s it’s up to you. So I don’t recommend it though. Honestly, I try to do the work up front so that it will produce for me for the long term and I don’t have to continually worry about that shit.

Do you remember that when they first came out with pandas and penguins? What that what Google was asking for rich unique relevant content that’s updated on a regular basis how often they repeated that that was when the doofus what’s his name was still with with with the spam team gotten Matt Cutts right. When that was so that this is they kept asking them they didn’t they keep doing it over and over fresh, unique relevant content updated on a regular basis. But the telling you that for a reason the bot feeds of content

Now I know that people have done tests when and where, you know, they’ve used Latin. And it ranked, but there were still keywords interspersed with that Latin garbage that made it rank and that’s what the bite is feeding off. It’s feeding off that information that you’re giving it. And if you just keep pushing the same information over and over, we have seen this, again, we always test guys is why we can give you the answers to these questions. We’ve seen it time and again and local GMB Pro, that if you use different posts, that if you do it regularly, whatever regularly means for your niche because niches a different each unique niche will react differently to the post frequency. But we know that if you use fresh, unique, relevant content, update on a regular basis, fresh images or you make Google think that they’re fresh images

Marco: don’t even have to be, it’s just all about feeding them but the information that the bot is coded to look for. It’s looking for these variables, right the keyword in the right places, and in the right amount and then information. And, and it’s also looking at how a real person interacts with that content that you’re displaying. And whether that person finishes, whatever action they set out to do. All of this is part of it. Now, if you give people the same information over and over and over again until you change this is a little bit eventually that gets stale, and the bodies will be able to tell how people react to that. And the one thing you’d never want to do is you never want to send us a negative signal. We always concentrate on feeding them but the positive signals that’s going to get us positive actions and reactions going to get us better placement.

going to give us knowledge panel displays is going to get us calls. And it’s going to get us web site visits, and whatever else, right, whatever else that we’re looking for. But it all starts with your content. And yes, you can feed garbage. But eventually, what will happen is it’ll get the index just like it happened with that test website that was done. But that one was just to show what you could do with the content place in in in the right areas. And in the right amount. Guys, don’t trick yourself into thinking I’m going to take the easy way out and just change the location. Give people a reason to think about it. Think like the end user, right? If I’m going in there, and I’m looking to have my problem solved, and I keep seeing the same garbage over and over. I don’t want to deal with that. I want someone that that’s talking to me as the end user, and someone who’s going to help me solve my problem, become problem solvers and you’re going to go a long way towards really developing your content in a way that people are really going to enjoy interacting with, and in the long run is going to make your whole lot more money than taking shortcuts. Yeah.

Bradley: All right. We’re going to wrap it up here in a minute. But if it says mastermind calls from Bradley are awesome, relevant, timely, and actionable period. Thanks fits. Appreciate that. Yeah, I’ve enjoyed those calls. I had a couple of this week already. So again, I appreciate that. And then lastly, Gordon had posted one more question. That’s fine, Gordon, we appreciate that. He says, since relied on questions, I’ll ask something else. And this is a good question.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords?

He says when creating local Legion pages, is it better or easier to create a different page for each keyword or to try to rank a single location page for a bunch of different keywords? Yeah, so that’s a great question. Because several years ago, that was the method was to it was and that was the industry, right? The traditional knowledge, right was to go out and create. Each page would be optimized for a singular keyword. Right. That was really how silo structure was started.

be taught was, you go out and you create a silo and then you collect the supporting keywords for that silo and then you start creating posts within the silo that each post is optimized for one keyword. And that can still be applied today. But the thing is, though, you’re better off. So let me back up for a minute like with a complex silo, guys, there are categories and subcategories, right? And so what I’m saying is it used to be it was taught for a while the best practices was was to create your top-level keyword would be the top-level page, your top level category. And then for your next tier down of keywords, right, you’re supporting keywords, you would create a subcategory for each of those keywords. Right, so that’s a child page. And then at your post level, you would go out and take longer tail versions of your second tier keywords and you would create individual posts for each one of those that would link up to your sub-category pages, right. And so that was very granular It was like Uber optimized content. But after panda three or four I don’t even remember which one it was but it was sometime around 2014 timeframe we started noticing that that was less effective and now and that’s because guys the algorithm has gotten so much better and understanding natural language right it with AI and rank brain and all of that it understands content and its totality now a lot better than it used to, right it’s Google’s gotten incredibly advanced in that respect. And so now you can actually have longer form content that targets many semantically related keywords that’s the key right? So instead of going out and creating multiple pages, which is kind of a bitch anyway, and it’s it’s really makes as Marco was just talking about, it makes for a shitty user experience to if you go to a site and you have to click to another page to learn more about a very similar keyword anyways or product or service. So it just becomes repetition over and over and over again. And that’s less effective. So you’re better off creating a long-form piece of content, as it as a page that has a lot of your relevant similarly related keywords within that page, you can even have somewhat broader topics combined on the same page. So provided that they’re segregated by correct segments, or headings, and other words, sections within the page. So you know, and I’ve experimented with even ranking one page websites guys for, you know, multiple types of keywords like that wouldn’t even be in the same silo. But because of the way that you organize the content on the page, you can still rank for that. Here’s another example, using like Table of Contents or navigation links with hot links that go to those sections on the page. So that’s a good way to kind of set to analyze the content within a page to where you can only you can have one page that can rank for multiple keywords or themes that make sense. So to answer your question.

I wouldn’t go with optimizing for singular keywords. No, don’t get me wrong if you’re if you’re doing short blog posts, for example, I target, you know, with GMB posts a lot singular keywords, I mean, we still I still sprinkling variations of that single keyword, but there’s one primary keyword typically for me, for GMB posts. So you can still do that. But for your pages on your site, right, I’m talking about posts doing that. But for your pages on your site, which are typically what you’re trying to rank, you’re using posts to support the page, right? So for pages, I would recommend going with longer form content instead. That’s why I don’t usually recommend using complex silos anymore because you can accomplish it with simple silos, which is just categories and page, top-level categories and pages and then post supporting posts. Because complex structures are exactly what their name implies. They’re complex. They’re hard to manage. It’s hard to map out in the beginning, and it’s, it’s honestly, I think it’s overkill for most stuff, especially for local it’s overkill for most local things. All right.

Okay five o'clock I’ve got to go but I am going to read this comment real quick Jim says FYI everyone I placed an order for keyword research it was actually too good with too many keywords but they do break it down and suggest which keywords you should target which ones are good for silo and for supporting keywords. Don’t hesitate to order you won’t regret the quality time saved that it takes the guesswork out of it. shipped Marco trains them. Hello. Thanks, Jim. Jim. So, Alright guys, everybody. We appreciate you being here. I’m kind of digging this app even though it looks old school. It’s kind of cool. what you guys think. I like it. I mean, it works. Yeah. Works. Nobody’s complaining about getting locked out of any account so far. So we’ll see. All right, everybody. We’ll see you guys tomorrow on the mastermind and everyone else next week. Thanks for being here, man. Later see

So those are the announcements I think I nailed it. I might have something I’m going to paste Now I need to copy and paste some stuff on the thing so so yeah, there was we got I guess,

Bradley: Let me tease what you’re doing tomorrow or non so that you don’t have to toot your own horn. We got, we’ve been doing kind of a series in the mastermind. We’re probably going to end up launching a product around it anyways, but it’s Pay Per Click marketing for local and how to get results. We had a course that I produced about two, maybe two and a half years ago now called Local Kingpin. And it was specifically for using Google AdWords obviously, it’s now Google ads, but formerly Google AdWords for setting up lead gen assets and dry and using, you know, producing leads for local businesses, either on a client basis or even on a lead gen basis where you’re selling leads. And that worked really well. But the Google Ads dash dashboard, the whole platform has evolved a lot in the last two and a half years, considerably. And, you know, Google Ads themselves for search ads, excuse me, so search ads are rather expensive, you can still be profitable with that. There’s no question but it’s fucking expensive. So I’ve actually gotten away from using search ads and get more into using display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing obviously, and it works really well because the display ads are the display ad platform is so much better than it used to be. And you know, years ago when I had developed the local kingpin training

It was in that method that I was using display ads. Suck it, they might have worked, but it sucked setting them up because you had to go out in the order or design your own banner ads and you had designed them and all the various sizes that you wanted to display them in. So the leaderboard, and you know, this 350 by 250 rectangles, you know, all these different sizes. And so it was a pain in the ass, I would hire a graphic designer to develop a set of banner ads, and that would be one set of banner ads, and it might cost me 50 or 60 bucks. If you wanted to split test, you’d have to pay for another set of ads, right. And so it was just it was you’d have to wait for you know, several days to get them back from the designer. And it’s a real pain in the ass. And so it wasn’t very efficient. And it wasn’t very effective unless you really split test a lot and then found a winning combination of ads. But now what you can do on the Display Network when you’re setting up display ads is you actually just import photos, it photos and images and let your logo as well and

It’s a square version and rectangular version for each. And then you get to add up to five short headlines, one long headline and then up to five descriptions. So and there’s, you know, character limits for each. But then what Google does is Google will create responsive display ads out of just the images that you upload it to just regular photos will work or graphics, either one and then will automatically start rotating through your various headlines and descriptions to find out which gets the highest click through as an engagement. And then it will start to auto-optimize the campaign and start serving the ads that are the combinations that performed the best more and more often. And so it’s so much easier to set up a campaign now. And although obviously, display ads don’t convert nearly as well as like search ads do, it’s a fraction of the cost guys, and with the audience targeting that Google Display Network has now or Google has period. They have what they call in market audiences and life event audiences and you can even create custom intent audiences.

is now based on keywords which are really cool. I just started playing with that actually. And so if you go and find the you know in the in the in the in-market audience targeting settings if you can go in and find an end market audience for the businesses that you’re generating leads for then those tend to be very good and like for me for contractors typically a the average cost per click runs between anywhere between about 85 cents to $1 50. So somewhere in that range depending on what type of contractor it is that I’m generating leads for. And so that’s a fraction of the cost it just for it’s just quickly for some perspective here, for roofing leads, for example, it could in some of the areas that I do SEO work and generate leads for roofers of roofing. A click for search ads for roofing type keywords can cost 35 to $40 per click. And you know, typically an average conversion rate is somewhere anywhere between 32

40% right, so you’re talking about three clicks to get one lead at $35 per click, that’s $105 per lead. That, to me is incredibly expensive. But with those, if you can there in the market audience targeting, you can actually see that there are a roofing odd Roofing Services in the market audience, and you can use that for display ads. And maybe this says you pay $1 per click will just use a nice round number. And it might be a 10% conversion rate as opposed to 30 or even a 5% conversion rate, which means you need 20 clicks to get one lead, but 20 clicks at $1 to get one lead guy think about that as 20 bucks per lead as opposed to 100 bucks per lead when you’re using search ads. So keep that in mind and that’s for cold traffic. But also for remarketing purposes. Like honestly, if you’re not using remarketing in you’re doing Client Services, you’re nuts because it’s just an inexpensive way to get additional traffic back to

The site and even if that traffic doesn’t convert a lot, a lot of it will, but doesn’t convert into leads. It’s a great branding tool to help that business to gain brand recognition so that people will think of them and go search for their brand name when it’s time for them to need their product or service because they’re constantly reminded of that business. So, long story short,

we’re going to work we’ve been doing a series of training inside the mastermind about using Google ads for Local Lead Generation, not search ads, but display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing ads. And tomorrow Hernan being the Facebook marketing expert that he is, he’s coming into the mastermind to do a full training on how to use Facebook ads for Local Lead Generation. And then we’re actually going to probably be packaging all that up over the next 60 to 90 days at some point and then launching that as a separate product as kind of an update to local kingpin, but we’re going to rebrand it because it’s really going to be a whole new course. Did you guys lose me?

Hernan: No

Bradley: I got a frozen screen. Okay, yeah, there you go. Okay, so anyways, just kind of wanted to teach you guys a little bit on what’s going on in the mastermind tomorrow. Those of you that are the mastermind a lot there’s been a discussion thread by the way or not, did you see the discussion thread in the Facebook group, but are saying that we’re going to rope you into actually contributing more than just the mastermind because they want a full soup to nuts type train. Yeah. So yeah, well, yeah, if there’s a need for it,  you know, the mastermind has the privilege that you know, if you guys there’s a real need about, you know, a specific type of training that you guys want to go after, then we can make a series there’s no problem about that. We’re all about, you know, serving our members as much as we possibly can. So that if that, you know, we have a good response tomorrow, that’s potentially going to happen, at least initially within the mastermind, and then we’ll go from there. But yeah, my idea is to cover as much terrain as possible tomorrow specifically, and then if we need to do another iteration of the, of the training or you know, walk you guys through a couple of case studies. So for instance, I was going through one of the clients that I manage, and we, so he’s a chiropractor. He’s a local chiropractor, and he has four clinics in Dallas. And over the past, I would say over the past six months, we have spent around $160,000 in advertising, and we have generated almost 4000 confirm appointments to those four offices. Now that is rough. So he is charging $49 per appointment, right? It’s an intra massage offer. So he’s charging $49 per appointment. We’re getting him we’re getting those appointments for around 39 to $40. So he’s, you know, making money on the front end, but that’s not even the best thing. The best thing is that each customer forth to him on average $300 you know because they show up to his office and they buy a bunch of stuff and they buy additional massages and they buy so that’s

Average and that’s on the low side. So there’s, there’s effectively we have been moving the needle real hard. He’s super happy Of course because he’s growing. He’s expanding locations and whatnot, and some of the stuff that we were able to implement for him. We will be talking about tomorrow on the mastermind, so it’s going to be pretty cool. Yeah, awesome. Yeah. Alright, so the last thing we’re going to tease before we get into questions, which we were kind of just hoping that more questions would fill in this chat box anyways, uh, we’ve got video lead gen system

to Dotto really is launching next week, next Tuesday. As a matter of fact, we’re going to talk about it well, the first part of next week’s webinar, Hump Day hangouts is going to be where we’re going to, you know, kind of get into some detail about what it’s about and all that because I completely updated it so that still the old training is there, the old method, which I did for years, but over the last several months, I’ve been really redeveloping that method to make it more streamlined and efficient, something that a lot of it can be outsourced, but also just to make it to where, even if you were doing this yourself like, you know, managing the all of the video lead gen or video email campaigns on your own, I don’t recommend that. But if a lot of people still going to do it on their own anyway, it’s a lot more efficient now to where what used to take roughly 20 to 30 minutes per video email to send out. Now what will take you just two to three minutes No kidding, there’s there will be a setup period on the front end where you can’t get into the method here, there’ll be a setup period where it might take you an hour to get everything set up. But then from there for every prospect you want to mail to, it’s literally two to three minutes. And that’s it. And so it’s a hell of a lot more efficient. And I’ve tested a lot of different follow-up methods from that as well to once you are notified of engagement and I talked about all of this in the training and found several different methods that work really well to the kind of get the conversation going and stuff and so I go into great detail. It’s basically a whole new course but you’re still going to get the original version, as well as the Everything’s under

The same membership site now. So there’s the original version, which still works, but it’s a bit more time-consuming. And then there’s the newer version that can be applied to pretty much any sort of marketing service I use specifically one, were really two types of methods for monetizing it. In the examples and in the training, I talked about how to use it for monetizing lead gen assets. And then I also talked about for client services, if you’re just doing outreach for clients instead of lead generation service providers. Then, you know, there’s a method I talked about specifically optimizing GMB stuff, but it can be modified or an applied to pretty much any sort of service that you offer. So if you’re a digital marketer does Facebook ads like her non for example, you could still use the video lead gen system, you just obviously are going to talk about how you can get results with Facebook as opposed to how you can get results with Google My Business. So any of you guys one of the things that we do is we surveyed you guys on a consistent basis to find out what what-what our audience needs, and something that comes up all the time is client getting right? securing clients and that kind of stuff. And so that’s really what this was all about. It’s so that you guys can go out and least get the conversation started. It’s not sales training. I’m not real good at sales unless I got a referral, like been referral but as far as getting the conversation going for prospecting, it’s an outstanding way to do it’s very unique, you’ll get a lot of responses that way. And then it’s really going to be up to you to present your offer in such a way that you close the client, you know what I mean? Or the prospect at that point. So anyways, be on the lookout for that guys. Next week, we’re going to do like we typically have done in the past, which is a limited offer on the front end for 24 hours and then the price will go up. And that’s typically how we do that. So be on the lookout for that next week.

Okay, anything else? I think we’re good.

Alright, cool. Let’s get into questions. Alright, so with our 1989 looking chat box, which kind of cool though. Let’s get into it will start at the top

What Are Your Thoughts On Keyword Research Ninja?

KT says what are your thoughts on keyword research ninja? I have no thoughts on it whatsoever I’ve never used it I really don’t use any keyword research tools anymore other than Power Suggest Pro, Google AdWords you know, the Google Ads keyword planner for because I still do PPC stuff. And then we have our own in-house keyword research product that is like anytime you need keywords, that’s, you know, our go-to source now is MGYB? We have the keyword research done over there because it takes hours to compile a good list of keywords. Really, you can spend hours doing that and organizing the keywords into silos and you know, proper themes and that kind of stuff. And that’s what our, you know, our product on keyword research is specifically it’s you know, our assistant or employee that does all of that have access to multiple tools, SEM Rush, Power Suggest Pro, you know, all different kinds of tools that she uses to actually develop these reports and puts them into silos and all that kind of stuff. So different type of intent keywords, commercial intent, informational queries, that kind of stuff. So it just makes it super easy. So honestly, I can’t give you an opinion on any of those keyword tools because I just don’t use them. It just requires too much time in my opinion. And I’d rather outsource that or use a simple tool when I’m going to do it myself such as Power Suggest Pro. Marco or anybody else wants to comment on any of those.

Marco: I agree that that’s all I use. I use our keyword research. I mean, I taught them how to do it for a reason it’s based on the way that you do it. And the way that I do it, which is Google Trends and power suggest Pro with Google ads, right the Keyword Planner Tool, and but the basis is right there. Then we go into everything else and we drill down as much as we can get as much information as possible go to Answer the Public. We just use just a ton of different tools that we can get all of the keywords. I mean, you get thousands sometimes I see our report come back, and it’s 7, 8, 9 thousand keywords strong. And I’m thinking, this is like the best way to take down a market. Let me if you really need to start and understand your market and the words involved in your market. There’s nothing better. I mean, I don’t know I can’t speak on keyword research Ninja, it might be fabulous. But I can’t say anything other than the way that we have it set up works perfectly well for what we do. Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah. And again, it’s the amount of time that goes into that, you know, I got away from doing it myself because it just takes too much time. Especially to Oregon. Like it’s easy to spit out a bunch of keywords with a tool but to organize them in proper themes, you know, and basically silos and that kind of stuff and intent type people words like that’s yet I mean, as far as I know, that’s manual. I don’t know tools that actually do that maybe keyword research and into does that. I don’t know, I don’t even look at tools like that anymore. So, unfortunately, I can’t give you a good answer to that.

Does Using Subdomains Produce Better SEO Juice Than Using Pages For Multi-City Local Lead Gen Site?

Gordon’s up he says thank you very much again for the help you provide on hump days. You’re welcome. He says he when setting up a multi-city local lead gen site you have advised in the past few subdomains of the main domain for each city instead of using a page under the main domain. When using pages, I know that the SEO juice can be spread among all the city pages, but when using subdomains is the SEO just spread among all the subdomains to help each other one rank met each one rank better, or does each subdomain stand on its own for SEO purposes? Well, it’s a little of both Gordon because, again, a subdomain is treated as a separate entity by Google right. But there is the parent domain being the root domain. So you can the way I always looked at it was subdomains and other subdomains of the same root domain are called siblings, sibling domains, right and the parent domain being the root.

And so what happens is each one of the subdomains or sibling domains are their own standalone sites, which is good for protection purposes. And that’s what we’ve talked about. That’s the reason why I’ve always done that. Now, it’s funny because I really don’t do anything spammy anymore, at least not to the actual money sites. So I can probably get away with just doing the inner pages, but it’s still allowed. You’re still a, you know, and that it doesn’t mean that what we do right now, doesn’t couldn’t be considered spammy tomorrow, because we don’t work for Google. Right. And so even though I’ve never really had, at least for several years now, I haven’t had any issues with getting sites deindexed or penalize. I’ve always kept using subdomains specifically to minimize risk, right to reduce exposure, so to speak. Because as I’ve said before, if you put all of your location pages on the root, so their inner pages, right, and if you catch a penalty against any one of those pages, it could pull the whole site down and all of your other location pages.

Although again, as I said, the methods that we teach, haven’t knock on wood, they haven’t created any penalties that I’m aware of, for any of my own stuff, as well as any of our students, okay, that I’m aware of. And so you could probably get away with doing it on inner pages for management purposes, that would be much easier for there’s no doubt because you’d all you’d have just one site to manage. That said, though, just keep in mind that that’s putting all of your eggs in one basket. So if Google decides to take that basket, or destroy one of the eggs in that basket, it could very well hurt all the others as well. So back to the original question, a subdomain is kind of a standalone site in that if a subdomain was to catch a penalty, for some reason or another, it would only affect that subdomain, the route would be left intact would remain healthy and all of the other sibling domains or subdomains would also remain healthy, untouched, essentially, from that penalty that’s been levied against that one subdomain. So it’s isolates any potential penalty problems. However, if you were to catch a penalty against the root domain, it would automatically apply to all of the child domains or subdomains. Does that make sense? So that’s why we all I’ve done that in the past was to always protect the root against all odds, right? Protect the root. And then if I was going to do anything spammy, it would be on a subdomain level. And that was specifically for that reason.

However, what you can do is in this is something I’ve actually been testing recently, but I don’t have enough time passed to see in fact, I just talked about this on the last mastermind webinar, so 13 days ago, actually, about how to use subdomains and the root domain in conjunction to kind of power it up. And I can’t give away the the the method here because it can’t do that because it’s kind of an extension of something that we teach in our paid courses. But there is a way to still use somebody domains and use the root domain to kind of help power up the subdomains, with inner pages without doing anything that could catch it catch up a penalty to your route. But again, you know, as far as does the subdomains benefit each other, yes, it may not be quite as a quick effect or, or might not be as effective as inner pages. But here’s the thing, every one of those subdomains are still attached to the root, right. So again, the root domain being the parent domain is going to benefit now, you guys know we don’t talk. We don’t care much about metrics. We stopped caring about proprietary third-party metrics several years ago, but let’s just use one as an example because a lot of you guys will understand it this way. Let’s just use domain authority Moz’s metric and page authority is an example okay?

When you have a domain authority that sitewide including subdomains, right, so for example, if you have a domain authority of 20 five on the root, then your subdomains, when you create a new subdomain, it won’t automatically be 25. I don’t think so. But it will become it will benefit from the domain authority of the parent domain. And so what I have found over the years now that I’ve been developing these multi-location sites using subdomains is that at first, when you start developing, like, let’s say you start off with two locations, so you’ve got the root domain, and then to subdomains at, you know, each subdomain being four different location. And then you add, so you start optimizing, you know, doing what you do to get results. And then you add a third location. Well, that third location tech, you know, typically, according to my experience, will, will often start to get results faster than the first two dead, because it’s actually benefiting from some of the authority that has been accrued or you know, accumulated from the previous two subdomains and the route altogether, right. So as a whole, it’s now that that new subdomain is actually benefiting from the authority that has accrued from the previous two and the route itself if that makes sense. So then you add a fourth subdomain and you know, fourth location, and a fifth and a six. And what happens is I start to see each new location that I add, tends to respond quicker get results faster than the previous one, because it’s actually benefiting from the authority of the, you know, cluster essentially, that’s it’s the root domain, as well as its additional its other siblings. So, again, if you’re doing just inner pages, you’ll probably be going to get a faster effect from that. But I found that you know, as you continue to build out additional subdomains, they helped to, they kind of benefit or receive benefit from all of the previous subdomains as well. So they’re at their birth point, right. The moment that you create that subdomain, it really already has some inherent authority because of it being a subdomain of a root domain that has built authority or crude authority if that makes sense.

So, anyway, I can’t get into any more further of that, honestly, because I will be giving away too much. Come join the mastermind and will tell you all about it. So, Marco, do you want to comment on that at all or Hernan?

Marco: Now, just to validate a little bit what you’re talking about on domains, we see that domain subdomain. We see that when we do drive stacks, and we add additional folders and files, right? The more you add the more power that as you say, a cruise and I call it power. I don’t give a shit about domain authority or trust flow. I don’t give a crap about any of that its power. And so the more that you do have whatever it is that you’re doing inside the drive stack, the more power that you pushing through, and the more power that ends up wherever it is that you got that drives tech game. That’s why they work so well. Yeah. And so the more work that you do inside, the more keywords that you target, whether it’s keyword plus location or service, whatever it is that you’re doing.

You do more of it inside your drive stack. And before you know it, I mean, it’s just pushing tons of power wherever it is that you want to go. And we’ve seen people live from case studies that they even get an empty folder to rank before anything else rank. So it’s crazy the amount of power that you can do in this method, whether you’re doing it at the TL D and subdomain level or at the drive stack and G site level. Right?

Twitter Embed Code Not Displaying Properly In GSite

So if it says it says good day Semantic Mastery team thanks for this form to ask questions and get real answers. When optimizing the site, I framed Twitter the area stays blank with no message saying it won’t connect. Is that still okay? All right. I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But I know that if you just take a Twitter URL, tweet URL, a Twitter profile, URL, whatever and try to use an iframe create generator that it won’t show you have to go into Twitter developers and actually generate an embed code for it which you can do with like your timeline, tweets and stuff. So for example, you can take a Twitter profile and go to

The developers, I think it’s developers.twitter.com or something like that just do a Google search, you’ll see what I mean. And you can ask you, or even just go to Google and search, how do you create or embed a Twitter feed? And that’s what you would? Again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But if I was going to try, and I haven’t, so I haven’t tested it with G sites, guys, but you could probably it’s probably you’re using the wrong type of embed code. And that’s why it’s not displaying is what I’m saying. If you go generate the correct proper embed code from the Twitter developers site, or whatever, whatever it is, again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff, just like you can, you know, I recently I built Believe it or not, I built some PB ends recently because I was testing. I don’t use PB ends. Often guys, I very rarely use them. But I did build a few that I was testing and somebody product actually. And one of the things that they required was that you had made the site look, you know, very real. So one of the things that asked for was embedding a Twitter feed, so I had some persona profiles from some older since networks that I had built that had Twitter profiles with, you know, updates. And so I just had I had, that’s how I learned to go build this little embed code. And that’s a Twitter feed in bed, that you have to go to the developers console and sign into that account. And then you create it that way. And it gives you the specific embed code for that Twitter feed. So it’s probably that you’re using the wrong one. Now, I could be wrong guys. Because like said, I don’t do much of that stuff with Twitter at all. But I’m pretty sure if you’re trying to use just an iframe generator with a Twitter profile or something like that, it’s going to be blank, it’s going to not work.

Can You iFrame A Facebook Business Page?

Now, the next part of that question is, can you iframe in a Facebook business page? As far as I know, no, I Facebook has iframe breakers that won’t allow you to embed them anywhere using any sort of tool. If anybody has a different answer please speak up.

Hernan: I think you’re right Bradley on that on that and I haven’t personally tried to iframe Facebook but I know that you know, Facebook is kind of against that other than Facebook videos, you know that what you can allow and but you can embed that an iframe that but other than that, I wouldn’t know? Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah, I know. There are some like plugins and stuff that will allow you to embed a or you know, display a Facebook page. But it actually Yes, you have to connect it via API and all that kind of stuff like, so there are WordPress plugins that will do that. But as far as just an embed code from Facebook, I don’t think that’s possible. Once again, I don’t do much Facebook stuff. So I couldn’t tell you with all certainty, but I can I know that, like, if you try to just take a Facebook URL, and iframe it, it won’t it all, it will never display anywhere. I’ve never seen that ever work. So you have to use stuff that connects via API or authorize or what are they called Facebook apps or whatever. We actually create all that shit in order just to get even a Facebook page to show in like a widget area on a website.

Hernan: Um, so yeah, and they’re even more like they’re, they’re even more like restrictive with all of the privacy stuff that they’re going through. So that you may want to consider so.

Bradley: yeah, and then you try to iframe or when you try to embed a Facebook comments app you see what happens the previous couple on the Hangouts that and I get it I guess that’s because people can act that shit so right cool we’re going to keep moving. This chat is already thousand better than anything before devices that is cool thanks to Vaughn I’m glad you guys liked it for a bus the new battle call right revert I think that’s one of the guests says get repeatable oh that’s you that was you that’s maybe a farm setting up by a cat gotcha well mines Bradley hmm feisty forehead motherfucker in charge just in case you guys wondered what that was all about.

Do Semantic Mastery RYS Stacks Add More Value To An Existing Syndication Network & GMB Page?

Bradley: The humanoid says Marco I have an RYS Drive stack order pending and creating an RYS stack I have my syndication network complete in my see when creating a try so that I have my syndication network completed my GMB URL done. would it add more value when I have you build my RYS stacks. Thank you will thank you will

I know that was directed to Marco I’m gonna put my two cents in first before Marco answers. And if you already have your syndication network all your profile URLs to become target URLs as well. guys remember it’s just kind of about it’s just like internal linking right with your syndication network. It’s there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be powering up your tier one assets as well. So if you have all of that I would actually absolutely include those but Marco, that’s more question for you.

Marco: Yeah, I’m thinking that he wants to know if he should have the team, put them into the bill, by all means, that that’s your tier one branded, it should be included and then So when did he get the spreadsheet to hit with link building. That’s what’s going to get hit your tier one branded your GMB and everything that’s inside that drive stack. So yes, by all means, have at it, and you’re going to see some really good results. I’ve been getting a bunch of testimony.

By the way of about people having to build links to their dry stacks and then the drive stacks just going crazy. Yeah once they get some the link building done so yes have added the same thing with the ad ID page. I’ve done some testing with that and just and that’s what I loved about it. It’s one of the easiest methods because all you gotta do is go submit link building gig order to you know, I wouldn’t say to just anybody but Daddy has got it down to a science and just taking like the ad ID the iframe loop stuff that we’ve talked about and again our paid courses and almost all of them it’s available that that just works really well and again, that’s just what that magic of I frames and when you combine that with Dr. stacks or even dr stacks alone, but that’s part of it because of you know, iframe in that gets done in the site, everything else so it’s just incredibly powerful. And just hitting those that’s the beautiful thing about it guys is you know, the daddy has link building pack service which is in MYB, right? They’re still spam links, but he’s good at what he does. He’s a pro, he’s a professional, there’s no doubt and because of that, he knows how to make it really effective. And then when you use something like Google assets as the target or Amazon domain as the primary target, then it can take that kind of abuse like you can hammer away at it, and it can take it and filter it like a champ. In fact, it just kind of powers it up. Now, it’s not something that I would ever direct to the money site, but you can do you know what I mean, but you can do it two very powerful tier one assets, which is why we developed the way that we do so that’s why we don’t even use VPN, who needs a pbn? When we can use Google and Amazon assets to create the same effect and then you spam links as opposed to and I call them spam and everybody who want to do spam. But guys, I mean, that’s what link building tools do they create spam links, you can call them whatever you want. That’s really what they are. Right and so pbn links are technically spammed links to you might be buying links from you know, a domain that has good metrics, but unless it’s super well themed and all that they’re typically spam links anyways, you know what I mean? So it’s just it’s about how you use them and what you point them at. And so we recommend doing it the way that you know, at least our method we use our method for specifically for a reason. It’s efficient, and it works well. Right.

All right old school, like daddy says, will it be set up like this tomorrow? Hernan? What’s tomorrow?

Hernan: The webinar? webinar or mastermind? Yeah, now it’s gonna be on a mastermind. Yeah. It’ll be in the regular mastermind.

Bradley: Jim, think that’s when? Yeah, just the regular master the live mastermind webinar page, just like we’ve always been doing over there. I we haven’t had any problems with that over there. Now it’s in the bond site. Yeah, right. The membership site, right.

So as far as I know, we’ve never had any problems not one complaint with it over there. We had a problem with the Disqus chat app. on these pages for some reason I think it’s a Click Funnels issue like it just didn’t jive well but on the traditional mastermind webinars inside the membership site we haven’t ever had a complaint on that so if I’m wrong and you guys got some complaints about it to make them known to make them known over there in the Facebook group not here.

How Would You Strategize Sending Out An Email Campaign For Over A Year?

I blue panda whoever that is, is hey guys hope this Jeff Oh, what the hell? That’s the same as what we had before. Maybe not okay. Hey, guys hope this chat function works better than this. That piece of shit Facebook jet cheese. Yeah. Or Geez, you’re right. That was terrible. Okay, onto my question. I have a list for my niche that is big enough to send 1000 emails per day for over a year. Wow. This is simply a law of big numbers campaign for my client. These will be a one time blast. Either they respond or they don’t and the next class goes out the next day what would be the best way to approach a list of this size style of sending? I don’t know I’ve never spammed at that level before. Spam demon.

And that’s exactly what you’re doing. So the best person to answer that question is unfortunately not here. That’s Chris, our partner, Chris, he, he’s been doing that kind of work for four years. He can give you the best advice on that. But he’s not here. I’m sorry, he’s traveling. Yeah, the only thing I would know to say is that make sure that you have plenty of sending from domain email account. So in other words, making sure that you’ve got several many, many, many different email account setup, you know, that you can send from because you’re probably going to burn every single account that you send from like, almost every day.

I don’t know for sure, because it depends on how clean your list is. But typically, when you’re sending out mass emails like that, from a particular account, especially 1000 per day, you have to have accounts that have developed some sort of reputation for or else when you go to hit send on 1000 emails from an account that’s not really seasoned. It will you know, the is the internet search or email service providers will throttle those accounts and not the inbox. You know a bunch of them and also with people will start hitting the spam button which it’s likely if they were unsolicited emails, you will get a lot of people hitting the spam button, it will flag that particular domain account for or domain email excuse me for spam and so it will like they’ll just stop unboxing her nine you were going to comment? Yeah, yeah,

I agree with you. What I was about to say is that if you want to, you know, reach out to Chris just post in the Facebook group and maybe take him I don’t know if blue pen is on the mastermind group. Yeah, if you’re in the mastermind, we could get to it. You know, Chris will give you a lot of help out there. Otherwise, you could try it in the free Facebook group and I don’t know how much he’ll reveal about something like that there. But yeah, that’s the only problem like guys I talked about this a few weeks ago, but you know, I got I’ve unsubscribed from just about every single marketing list that I’m I’ve ever been on.

Over the last several months, because I decided to get really focused and you know, buying shiny objects and getting pitched new training, you know, methods and stuff like that all the time was really, and I, you know, there’s they’re kind of happens in cycles. I know a lot of you guys we’ve I’ve talked with a lot of our mastermind members over the last several months I do calls now with, you know, one on one calls with mastermind members, as a new member, you get a one on one call with one of us. And then every quarter or so I try to open up the ability to have another 30 minute call with me so I can kind of help you know, find out more about people in our mastermind and what struggles are going through and offer some guidance and and and, you know, 90 days to six months and three to six months, I have another call with them, find out if they made any progress, and they’re going to have new issues at that point. So one of the things that I’ve heard a lot through those calls without calling anybody out is that, you know, constantly being bombarded with different opportunities. And that’s because we’re all marketers, right? And so we’ve gone out and been signed up for whatever ours, which puts us on email list or we bought products, which puts us on email lists. And the next thing you know, we get hammered and you guys can all relate I’m sure you get hammered and hammered and hammered all the time with solicitation offers for training or for software or tools or services and all that kind of stuff. And you know,

I found that although they may be interesting and sometimes entertaining to go like watch webinars or to go check out the new sales page of the new tool that or software or WordPress plugin or whatever the hell it is, that typically just distracts from making any progress a real progress in my business and you know, over the years I’ve gone up and down with that, you know, sometimes a more susceptible to that other times I’m not but over the last many months now I really just started to unsubscribe from you know, ton of people’s emails. The reason I started saying that was because my oldest email account that is the account that I use, it’s a Yahoo account, Yahoo mail account, that’s the one that I used to always sign up for stuff like I don’t use my main Gmail accounts for for to sign up for lists or two webinars and things like that, because I knew that I get on a spam list, right and people would start spamming me. I’m still getting a ton of spam over there. But I’ve never voluntarily or I very, very rarely voluntarily used one of those primary Gmail type email addresses for signing up for that stuff. But I had a Yahoo mail account that was just getting spammed to death. And so over the last several months, I have really, really gotten a much better handle on that too. Because what I’ve done is I’ve gone every time I get an email now I just daily maintenance Now, every single day, I go through my Yahoo account probably two maybe three times a day. And if there’s an email that came is comes to me that I was unsolicited, which is you know, it’s they don’t come nearly as often as they used to now, I open up the email, I scroll right to the bottom finance subscribe button, I click it and make sure you know in the page reloads that it’s that in the net new tab that I’ve unsubscribed. Then I close that tab and I go back in and I click the spam button and Yahoo

And I do that every single day. And, you know, I used to get literally dozens, sometimes hundreds of emails per day, as many of you guys can probably relate. And now I swear to God, this is no bullshit over the last, probably five to six weeks now, I might get two or three emails per day and some days I don’t get any spam or unsolicited emails anymore. And that’s because I’ve gotten into the habit of doing that. So now it’s much more manageable like that, that email counts almost like a clean account. Now I do still get occasional as I said, Sometimes I’ll get one. Sometimes I get two or even three spam emails where it’s another internet marketer that bought my name off the list somewhere and sends me some bullshit email about the newest WordPress plugin. But I open up the email, I go straight to the unsubscribe button, unsubscribe and then come back and hit the spam button. And so it’s really really reduced that now the reason I said that was because if you start emailing people with unsolicited emails, you’re likely going to have many of them going to hit that spam button and that’s going to tank your deliverability, just like that. So if you’re going to be doing that sort of a strategy, you’re going to need a ton of email accounts ready, essentially one per day and even that, I don’t know that I’d send 1000 per day from one account. I probably split that up across multiple accounts. Okay.

Can You Still A GSite And Empower A Client’s Money Site If You Don’t Have Access To Their Email Account?

Anyways, it says when working with clients and you don’t have access to their email account, can you create a G site for them embed their properties and deliver the power to the money site URL? Well, yeah, I would never ask for access to my clients Google accounts ever never do I asked for that. So that’s how we do it right? We create and fits if it’s the same fits as I know that we used to be in our mastermind you should know that. And it might not be but ya know, like, for example, we just we create for clients created or even if for you guys that buy stuff from us, we’re going to go create a Google account.

To create your assets, the same thing with my clients, I go create a Google account, right or if they’re on G sweet, which some of them are, but most of them aren’t, then I have them add, you know, create an email or user account for me. And then I will end up, you know, giving me they, and then I asked them to give me permissions for to access the other accounts, like our Google Apps essentially within that account, right? That makes sense. And guys, you know, send a screencast video tutorial video to your users. So for example, I don’t ever ask for Google account access, but I do ask for to be added as a Google My Business Manager to their GMB for example. Right. So how do you do that? Well, unless you ask for their login details and go do it set, you know, add yourself as a manager, you know, add yourself as a manager, you got to ask them to do it. So if they don’t know how to do it, you got to provide them with instructions. The easiest way to do that, in my opinion, is to just do a quick tutorial video and show them hey, show him another GMB account. say look, login go to business google. com

Left-hand sidebar, you’re going to go click users, this little box is going to show you’re going to see a little plus icon at the top, click that to add new user at my email address from the drop-down, select, you know, manager, not site or not owner, just add me as a manager and then click you know, invite or send or whatever the button says, and I’ll get an invitation and then I’ll go be able to access you can do the same thing, if they have, you know, if you wanted it to be hosted on their main Google account, like a G site, which is unnecessary. But if you wanted to, you could give them instructions on a go into sites, google.com and add me as a user or manager, whatever, give me permission to be able to access that app within your Google account. However, it doesn’t matter because you can create the new account, build everything under the new account and then add your client Gmail account as a manager and then transfer ownership if you needed to. But again, it’s really unnecessary. It doesn’t matter who the Google account is. You can push the power the SEO juice anywhere you want. Okay.

Facebook Embed Post

Facebook also gives you an embed code for each post. Really? Yeah, it does. You so you can embed a Facebook post? Yes, that is correct. When did that start? Yeah,

it’s always been there. Yeah, it’s been rough. But Jay get. So if you get if you create, like, for instance, if you create, I don’t know, post with a link or a post with an image bubble, blah, then you can embed that somewhere. So it has to, it has to be on in your timeline. Or it has to be like, like on an open page. It can be like, if it’s a closed group, you can’t do anything with it. If if it’s a member, whatever it if it’s hidden or secret or Harvard. I don’t know too much about Facebook. I’m just there answering questions. Yeah, but if it’s open, right, and if it’s public, yes, Google will not Google Facebook will give you an embed code for that post or for whatever it

Is that you’re doing an image or video. But in those at one post though, right, correct, I don’t I think that you’re right that there’s an X breaker if you try to embed the like the entire face. Yeah. Yeah. And it has to come from a, from a Facebook page, if that makes sense. Not from a profile. You know, even if the profile is public, there’s a lot of, you know, stuff going on with privacy and whatnot. So it needs to come from a Facebook page, which is what your clients are going to be using anyway. Right. So um, so yeah, but that’s, that’s another caveat that you want to have in mind. Yeah, well, I mean, okay, so that may mean that that’s cool. And all but you know, unless you’re going to go in and update the iframe, or the embed code on a regular basis on your sites. I don’t see how I mean, obviously, if you’ve got I guess one post that you specifically trying to power up then yeah, and you could embed it and then hammer and you know, the G site or wherever you’ve got an embedded with links or something like that, but you know, typically I like to set up the iframe that is going to update dynamically. So I publish content and it’s on an automatically be in the iframe that I’m trying to power up. Do you know what I mean? So that’s cool. I didn’t, I wasn’t aware that you could embed individual posts, but say, that’s cool. I just learned something. Yep. Very cool. Yep.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords

Okay, so Gordon’s up again, it says, Thanks a lot for your previous answer. You’re welcome. He says, which brought up this question and used to be okay to use duplicate content for different sites targeting and local niche in different cities, just changing the location info one site for each city. But is that still true? I’ve never done that. Gordon. Honestly, I’ve always advocated for using unique content for all those and that’s specifically because, at some point, it could be, you know, toxic, it could you could end up catching a penalty because it is all duplicate content and duplicate content, guys, it’s supposed to be on the same domain, I get that, but on the same subdomains, you know, I don’t I don’t like that because it’s not as effective.

So what I’ve always always always suggested Yes, it has worked, you can just swap out location information. So like essentially the city modifier within the content. But it’s inexpensive to have a piece of content written and then have it rewritten, it’s a lot less expensive to have it rewritten than to have original content written for each, which by the way, when you go to a content farm, none of its original, all they’re doing is rewriting other content that they’ve scraped from the web, just so you’re aware of that, guys, when you go buy an article from a content farm. It is a rewritten article from something else on the web that they scraped, that’s it, there’s nobody there is actually writing an original article. all they’re doing is going easy and articles or somewhere else scraping an article and then rewriting it and usually it’s rewritten very poorly, by the way, but what I’m saying is you can go out and order an article, habit, you know, Britain for whatever, let’s say it’s 1000 word article, and it cost you 40 bucks. And then you have article rewrites. So let’s say you got six locations six subdomains where you got the URL

So that you paid 40 bucks for that, but then you order five rewrites, it might cost you $8 per rewrite. And now you’ve got six, original, unique, let’s just I’m using air quotes, but six or unique articles that are going to be more effective, in my opinion, long term, then having the same piece of content used across multiple sites where the only thing you change this is the location modifier. So that’s how I’ve done that, guys. I’ve got lead gen assets out there with subdomains with 20 subdomains, and they each have their own unique content. You know, and that’s specifically for that reason.

You know, again, it’s your call, I’ve always wanted to build long term assets that will rank and produce revenue for me for years, and I’ve got many of them. And so, you know, again, it’s all I always think about, it might be a little bit more expensive, a little bit more hassle on the front end. But what’s more of a hassle having assets that stopped producing or start performing poorly, because of you took shortcut cuts on the front end. You know if they’re producing revenue for you and again guys I don’t know if it works or not because I just don’t do it. I don’t know if it still works or not but other people may be able to comment and say oh it works fine that’s fine if you want to build your business that way do it you know, there’s it’s up to you. So I don’t recommend it though. Honestly, I try to do the work up front so that it will produce for me for the long term and I don’t have to continually worry about that shit.

Do you remember that when they first came out with pandas and penguins? What that what Google was asking for rich unique relevant content that’s updated on a regular basis how often they repeated that that was when the doofus what’s his name was still with with with the spam team gotten Matt Cutts right. When that was so that this is they kept asking them they didn’t they keep doing it over and over fresh, unique relevant content updated on a regular basis. But the telling you that for a reason the bot feeds of content

Now I know that people have done tests when and where, you know, they’ve used Latin. And it ranked, but there were still keywords interspersed with that Latin garbage that made it rank and that’s what the bite is feeding off. It’s feeding off that information that you’re giving it. And if you just keep pushing the same information over and over, we have seen this, again, we always test guys is why we can give you the answers to these questions. We’ve seen it time and again and local GMB Pro, that if you use different posts, that if you do it regularly, whatever regularly means for your niche because niches a different each unique niche will react differently to the post frequency. But we know that if you use fresh, unique, relevant content, update on a regular basis, fresh images or you make Google think that they’re fresh images

Marco: don’t even have to be, it’s just all about feeding them but the information that the bot is coded to look for. It’s looking for these variables, right the keyword in the right places, and in the right amount and then information. And, and it’s also looking at how a real person interacts with that content that you’re displaying. And whether that person finishes, whatever action they set out to do. All of this is part of it. Now, if you give people the same information over and over and over again until you change this is a little bit eventually that gets stale, and the bodies will be able to tell how people react to that. And the one thing you’d never want to do is you never want to send us a negative signal. We always concentrate on feeding them but the positive signals that’s going to get us positive actions and reactions going to get us better placement.

going to give us knowledge panel displays is going to get us calls. And it’s going to get us web site visits, and whatever else, right, whatever else that we’re looking for. But it all starts with your content. And yes, you can feed garbage. But eventually, what will happen is it’ll get the index just like it happened with that test website that was done. But that one was just to show what you could do with the content place in in in the right areas. And in the right amount. Guys, don’t trick yourself into thinking I’m going to take the easy way out and just change the location. Give people a reason to think about it. Think like the end user, right? If I’m going in there, and I’m looking to have my problem solved, and I keep seeing the same garbage over and over. I don’t want to deal with that. I want someone that that’s talking to me as the end user, and someone who’s going to help me solve my problem, become problem solvers and you’re going to go a long way towards really developing your content in a way that people are really going to enjoy interacting with, and in the long run is going to make your whole lot more money than taking shortcuts. Yeah.

Bradley: All right. We’re going to wrap it up here in a minute. But if it says mastermind calls from Bradley are awesome, relevant, timely, and actionable period. Thanks fits. Appreciate that. Yeah, I’ve enjoyed those calls. I had a couple of this week already. So again, I appreciate that. And then lastly, Gordon had posted one more question. That’s fine, Gordon, we appreciate that. He says, since relied on questions, I’ll ask something else. And this is a good question.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords?

He says when creating local Legion pages, is it better or easier to create a different page for each keyword or to try to rank a single location page for a bunch of different keywords? Yeah, so that’s a great question. Because several years ago, that was the method was to it was and that was the industry, right? The traditional knowledge, right was to go out and create. Each page would be optimized for a singular keyword. Right. That was really how silo structure was started.

be taught was, you go out and you create a silo and then you collect the supporting keywords for that silo and then you start creating posts within the silo that each post is optimized for one keyword. And that can still be applied today. But the thing is, though, you’re better off. So let me back up for a minute like with a complex silo, guys, there are categories and subcategories, right? And so what I’m saying is it used to be it was taught for a while the best practices was was to create your top-level keyword would be the top-level page, your top level category. And then for your next tier down of keywords, right, you’re supporting keywords, you would create a subcategory for each of those keywords. Right, so that’s a child page. And then at your post level, you would go out and take longer tail versions of your second tier keywords and you would create individual posts for each one of those that would link up to your sub-category pages, right. And so that was very granular It was like Uber optimized content. But after panda three or four I don’t even remember which one it was but it was sometime around 2014 timeframe we started noticing that that was less effective and now and that’s because guys the algorithm has gotten so much better and understanding natural language right it with AI and rank brain and all of that it understands content and its totality now a lot better than it used to, right it’s Google’s gotten incredibly advanced in that respect. And so now you can actually have longer form content that targets many semantically related keywords that’s the key right? So instead of going out and creating multiple pages, which is kind of a bitch anyway, and it’s it’s really makes as Marco was just talking about, it makes for a shitty user experience to if you go to a site and you have to click to another page to learn more about a very similar keyword anyways or product or service. So it just becomes repetition over and over and over again. And that’s less effective. So you’re better off creating a long-form piece of content, as it as a page that has a lot of your relevant similarly related keywords within that page, you can even have somewhat broader topics combined on the same page. So provided that they’re segregated by correct segments, or headings, and other words, sections within the page. So you know, and I’ve experimented with even ranking one page websites guys for, you know, multiple types of keywords like that wouldn’t even be in the same silo. But because of the way that you organize the content on the page, you can still rank for that. Here’s another example, using like Table of Contents or navigation links with hot links that go to those sections on the page. So that’s a good way to kind of set to analyze the content within a page to where you can only you can have one page that can rank for multiple keywords or themes that make sense. So to answer your question.

I wouldn’t go with optimizing for singular keywords. No, don’t get me wrong if you’re if you’re doing short blog posts, for example, I target, you know, with GMB posts a lot singular keywords, I mean, we still I still sprinkling variations of that single keyword, but there’s one primary keyword typically for me, for GMB posts. So you can still do that. But for your pages on your site, right, I’m talking about posts doing that. But for your pages on your site, which are typically what you’re trying to rank, you’re using posts to support the page, right? So for pages, I would recommend going with longer form content instead. That’s why I don’t usually recommend using complex silos anymore because you can accomplish it with simple silos, which is just categories and page, top-level categories and pages and then post supporting posts. Because complex structures are exactly what their name implies. They’re complex. They’re hard to manage. It’s hard to map out in the beginning, and it’s, it’s honestly, I think it’s overkill for most stuff, especially for local it’s overkill for most local things. All right.

Okay five o'clock I’ve got to go but I am going to read this comment real quick Jim says FYI everyone I placed an order for keyword research it was actually too good with too many keywords but they do break it down and suggest which keywords you should target which ones are good for silo and for supporting keywords. Don’t hesitate to order you won’t regret the quality time saved that it takes the guesswork out of it. shipped Marco trains them. Hello. Thanks, Jim. Jim. So, Alright guys, everybody. We appreciate you being here. I’m kind of digging this app even though it looks old school. It’s kind of cool. what you guys think. I like it. I mean, it works. Yeah. Works. Nobody’s complaining about getting locked out of any account so far. So we’ll see. All right, everybody. We’ll see you guys tomorrow on the mastermind and everyone else next week. Thanks for being here, man. Later see

Bradley: Let me tease what you’re doing tomorrow or non so that you don’t have to toot your own horn. We got, we’ve been doing kind of a series in the mastermind. We’re probably going to end up launching a product around it anyways, but it’s Pay Per Click marketing for local and how to get results. We had a course that I produced about two, maybe two and a half years ago now called Local Kingpin. And it was specifically for using Google AdWords obviously, it’s now Google ads, but formerly Google AdWords for setting up lead gen assets and dry and using, you know, producing leads for local businesses, either on a client basis or even on a lead gen basis where you’re selling leads. And that worked really well. But the Google Ads dash dashboard, the whole platform has evolved a lot in the last two and a half years, considerably. And, you know, Google Ads themselves for search ads, excuse me, so search ads are rather expensive, you can still be profitable with that. There’s no question but it’s fucking expensive. So I’ve actually gotten away from using search ads and get more into using display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing obviously, and it works really well because the display ads are the display ad platform is so much better than it used to be. And you know, years ago when I had developed the local kingpin training

It was in that method that I was using display ads. Suck it, they might have worked, but it sucked setting them up because you had to go out in the order or design your own banner ads and you had designed them and all the various sizes that you wanted to display them in. So the leaderboard, and you know, this 350 by 250 rectangles, you know, all these different sizes. And so it was a pain in the ass, I would hire a graphic designer to develop a set of banner ads, and that would be one set of banner ads, and it might cost me 50 or 60 bucks. If you wanted to split test, you’d have to pay for another set of ads, right. And so it was just it was you’d have to wait for you know, several days to get them back from the designer. And it’s a real pain in the ass. And so it wasn’t very efficient. And it wasn’t very effective unless you really split test a lot and then found a winning combination of ads. But now what you can do on the Display Network when you’re setting up display ads is you actually just import photos, it photos and images and let your logo as well and

It’s a square version and rectangular version for each. And then you get to add up to five short headlines, one long headline and then up to five descriptions. So and there’s, you know, character limits for each. But then what Google does is Google will create responsive display ads out of just the images that you upload it to just regular photos will work or graphics, either one and then will automatically start rotating through your various headlines and descriptions to find out which gets the highest click through as an engagement. And then it will start to auto-optimize the campaign and start serving the ads that are the combinations that performed the best more and more often. And so it’s so much easier to set up a campaign now. And although obviously, display ads don’t convert nearly as well as like search ads do, it’s a fraction of the cost guys, and with the audience targeting that Google Display Network has now or Google has period. They have what they call in market audiences and life event audiences and you can even create custom intent audiences.

is now based on keywords which are really cool. I just started playing with that actually. And so if you go and find the you know in the in the in the in-market audience targeting settings if you can go in and find an end market audience for the businesses that you’re generating leads for then those tend to be very good and like for me for contractors typically a the average cost per click runs between anywhere between about 85 cents to $1 50. So somewhere in that range depending on what type of contractor it is that I’m generating leads for. And so that’s a fraction of the cost it just for it’s just quickly for some perspective here, for roofing leads, for example, it could in some of the areas that I do SEO work and generate leads for roofers of roofing. A click for search ads for roofing type keywords can cost 35 to $40 per click. And you know, typically an average conversion rate is somewhere anywhere between 32

40% right, so you’re talking about three clicks to get one lead at $35 per click, that’s $105 per lead. That, to me is incredibly expensive. But with those, if you can there in the market audience targeting, you can actually see that there are a roofing odd Roofing Services in the market audience, and you can use that for display ads. And maybe this says you pay $1 per click will just use a nice round number. And it might be a 10% conversion rate as opposed to 30 or even a 5% conversion rate, which means you need 20 clicks to get one lead, but 20 clicks at $1 to get one lead guy think about that as 20 bucks per lead as opposed to 100 bucks per lead when you’re using search ads. So keep that in mind and that’s for cold traffic. But also for remarketing purposes. Like honestly, if you’re not using remarketing in you’re doing Client Services, you’re nuts because it’s just an inexpensive way to get additional traffic back to

The site and even if that traffic doesn’t convert a lot, a lot of it will, but doesn’t convert into leads. It’s a great branding tool to help that business to gain brand recognition so that people will think of them and go search for their brand name when it’s time for them to need their product or service because they’re constantly reminded of that business. So, long story short,

we’re going to work we’ve been doing a series of training inside the mastermind about using Google ads for Local Lead Generation, not search ads, but display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing ads. And tomorrow Hernan being the Facebook marketing expert that he is, he’s coming into the mastermind to do a full training on how to use Facebook ads for Local Lead Generation. And then we’re actually going to probably be packaging all that up over the next 60 to 90 days at some point and then launching that as a separate product as kind of an update to local kingpin, but we’re going to rebrand it because it’s really going to be a whole new course. Did you guys lose me?

Hernan: No

Bradley: I got a frozen screen. Okay, yeah, there you go. Okay, so anyways, just kind of wanted to teach you guys a little bit on what’s going on in the mastermind tomorrow. Those of you that are the mastermind a lot there’s been a discussion thread by the way or not, did you see the discussion thread in the Facebook group, but are saying that we’re going to rope you into actually contributing more than just the mastermind because they want a full soup to nuts type train. Yeah. So yeah, well, yeah, if there’s a need for it,  you know, the mastermind has the privilege that you know, if you guys there’s a real need about, you know, a specific type of training that you guys want to go after, then we can make a series there’s no problem about that. We’re all about, you know, serving our members as much as we possibly can. So that if that, you know, we have a good response tomorrow, that’s potentially going to happen, at least initially within the mastermind, and then we’ll go from there. But yeah, my idea is to cover as much terrain as possible tomorrow specifically, and then if we need to do another iteration of the, of the training or you know, walk you guys through a couple of case studies. So for instance, I was going through one of the clients that I manage, and we, so he’s a chiropractor. He’s a local chiropractor, and he has four clinics in Dallas. And over the past, I would say over the past six months, we have spent around $160,000 in advertising, and we have generated almost 4000 confirm appointments to those four offices. Now that is rough. So he is charging $49 per appointment, right? It’s an intra massage offer. So he’s charging $49 per appointment. We’re getting him we’re getting those appointments for around 39 to $40. So he’s, you know, making money on the front end, but that’s not even the best thing. The best thing is that each customer forth to him on average $300 you know because they show up to his office and they buy a bunch of stuff and they buy additional massages and they buy so that’s

Average and that’s on the low side. So there’s, there’s effectively we have been moving the needle real hard. He’s super happy Of course because he’s growing. He’s expanding locations and whatnot, and some of the stuff that we were able to implement for him. We will be talking about tomorrow on the mastermind, so it’s going to be pretty cool. Yeah, awesome. Yeah. Alright, so the last thing we’re going to tease before we get into questions, which we were kind of just hoping that more questions would fill in this chat box anyways, uh, we’ve got video lead gen system

to Dotto really is launching next week, next Tuesday. As a matter of fact, we’re going to talk about it well, the first part of next week’s webinar, Hump Day hangouts is going to be where we’re going to, you know, kind of get into some detail about what it’s about and all that because I completely updated it so that still the old training is there, the old method, which I did for years, but over the last several months, I’ve been really redeveloping that method to make it more streamlined and efficient, something that a lot of it can be outsourced, but also just to make it to where, even if you were doing this yourself like, you know, managing the all of the video lead gen or video email campaigns on your own, I don’t recommend that. But if a lot of people still going to do it on their own anyway, it’s a lot more efficient now to where what used to take roughly 20 to 30 minutes per video email to send out. Now what will take you just two to three minutes No kidding, there’s there will be a setup period on the front end where you can’t get into the method here, there’ll be a setup period where it might take you an hour to get everything set up. But then from there for every prospect you want to mail to, it’s literally two to three minutes. And that’s it. And so it’s a hell of a lot more efficient. And I’ve tested a lot of different follow-up methods from that as well to once you are notified of engagement and I talked about all of this in the training and found several different methods that work really well to the kind of get the conversation going and stuff and so I go into great detail. It’s basically a whole new course but you’re still going to get the original version, as well as the Everything’s under

The same membership site now. So there’s the original version, which still works, but it’s a bit more time-consuming. And then there’s the newer version that can be applied to pretty much any sort of marketing service I use specifically one, were really two types of methods for monetizing it. In the examples and in the training, I talked about how to use it for monetizing lead gen assets. And then I also talked about for client services, if you’re just doing outreach for clients instead of lead generation service providers. Then, you know, there’s a method I talked about specifically optimizing GMB stuff, but it can be modified or an applied to pretty much any sort of service that you offer. So if you’re a digital marketer does Facebook ads like her non for example, you could still use the video lead gen system, you just obviously are going to talk about how you can get results with Facebook as opposed to how you can get results with Google My Business. So any of you guys one of the things that we do is we surveyed you guys on a consistent basis to find out what what-what our audience needs, and something that comes up all the time is client getting right? securing clients and that kind of stuff. And so that’s really what this was all about. It’s so that you guys can go out and least get the conversation started. It’s not sales training. I’m not real good at sales unless I got a referral, like been referral but as far as getting the conversation going for prospecting, it’s an outstanding way to do it’s very unique, you’ll get a lot of responses that way. And then it’s really going to be up to you to present your offer in such a way that you close the client, you know what I mean? Or the prospect at that point. So anyways, be on the lookout for that guys. Next week, we’re going to do like we typically have done in the past, which is a limited offer on the front end for 24 hours and then the price will go up. And that’s typically how we do that. So be on the lookout for that next week.

Okay, anything else? I think we’re good.

Alright, cool. Let’s get into questions. Alright, so with our 1989 looking chat box, which kind of cool though. Let’s get into it will start at the top

What Are Your Thoughts On Keyword Research Ninja?

KT says what are your thoughts on keyword research ninja? I have no thoughts on it whatsoever I’ve never used it I really don’t use any keyword research tools anymore other than Power Suggest Pro, Google AdWords you know, the Google Ads keyword planner for because I still do PPC stuff. And then we have our own in-house keyword research product that is like anytime you need keywords, that’s, you know, our go-to source now is MGYB? We have the keyword research done over there because it takes hours to compile a good list of keywords. Really, you can spend hours doing that and organizing the keywords into silos and you know, proper themes and that kind of stuff. And that’s what our, you know, our product on keyword research is specifically it’s you know, our assistant or employee that does all of that have access to multiple tools, SEM Rush, Power Suggest Pro, you know, all different kinds of tools that she uses to actually develop these reports and puts them into silos and all that kind of stuff. So different type of intent keywords, commercial intent, informational queries, that kind of stuff. So it just makes it super easy. So honestly, I can’t give you an opinion on any of those keyword tools because I just don’t use them. It just requires too much time in my opinion. And I’d rather outsource that or use a simple tool when I’m going to do it myself such as Power Suggest Pro. Marco or anybody else wants to comment on any of those.

Marco: I agree that that’s all I use. I use our keyword research. I mean, I taught them how to do it for a reason it’s based on the way that you do it. And the way that I do it, which is Google Trends and power suggest Pro with Google ads, right the Keyword Planner Tool, and but the basis is right there. Then we go into everything else and we drill down as much as we can get as much information as possible go to Answer the Public. We just use just a ton of different tools that we can get all of the keywords. I mean, you get thousands sometimes I see our report come back, and it’s 7, 8, 9 thousand keywords strong. And I’m thinking, this is like the best way to take down a market. Let me if you really need to start and understand your market and the words involved in your market. There’s nothing better. I mean, I don’t know I can’t speak on keyword research Ninja, it might be fabulous. But I can’t say anything other than the way that we have it set up works perfectly well for what we do. Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah. And again, it’s the amount of time that goes into that, you know, I got away from doing it myself because it just takes too much time. Especially to Oregon. Like it’s easy to spit out a bunch of keywords with a tool but to organize them in proper themes, you know, and basically silos and that kind of stuff and intent type people words like that’s yet I mean, as far as I know, that’s manual. I don’t know tools that actually do that maybe keyword research and into does that. I don’t know, I don’t even look at tools like that anymore. So, unfortunately, I can’t give you a good answer to that.

Does Using Subdomains Produce Better SEO Juice Than Using Pages For Multi-City Local Lead Gen Site?

Gordon’s up he says thank you very much again for the help you provide on hump days. You’re welcome. He says he when setting up a multi-city local lead gen site you have advised in the past few subdomains of the main domain for each city instead of using a page under the main domain. When using pages, I know that the SEO juice can be spread among all the city pages, but when using subdomains is the SEO just spread among all the subdomains to help each other one rank met each one rank better, or does each subdomain stand on its own for SEO purposes? Well, it’s a little of both Gordon because, again, a subdomain is treated as a separate entity by Google right. But there is the parent domain being the root domain. So you can the way I always looked at it was subdomains and other subdomains of the same root domain are called siblings, sibling domains, right and the parent domain being the root.

And so what happens is each one of the subdomains or sibling domains are their own standalone sites, which is good for protection purposes. And that’s what we’ve talked about. That’s the reason why I’ve always done that. Now, it’s funny because I really don’t do anything spammy anymore, at least not to the actual money sites. So I can probably get away with just doing the inner pages, but it’s still allowed. You’re still a, you know, and that it doesn’t mean that what we do right now, doesn’t couldn’t be considered spammy tomorrow, because we don’t work for Google. Right. And so even though I’ve never really had, at least for several years now, I haven’t had any issues with getting sites deindexed or penalize. I’ve always kept using subdomains specifically to minimize risk, right to reduce exposure, so to speak. Because as I’ve said before, if you put all of your location pages on the root, so their inner pages, right, and if you catch a penalty against any one of those pages, it could pull the whole site down and all of your other location pages.

Although again, as I said, the methods that we teach, haven’t knock on wood, they haven’t created any penalties that I’m aware of, for any of my own stuff, as well as any of our students, okay, that I’m aware of. And so you could probably get away with doing it on inner pages for management purposes, that would be much easier for there’s no doubt because you’d all you’d have just one site to manage. That said, though, just keep in mind that that’s putting all of your eggs in one basket. So if Google decides to take that basket, or destroy one of the eggs in that basket, it could very well hurt all the others as well. So back to the original question, a subdomain is kind of a standalone site in that if a subdomain was to catch a penalty, for some reason or another, it would only affect that subdomain, the route would be left intact would remain healthy and all of the other sibling domains or subdomains would also remain healthy, untouched, essentially, from that penalty that’s been levied against that one subdomain. So it’s isolates any potential penalty problems. However, if you were to catch a penalty against the root domain, it would automatically apply to all of the child domains or subdomains. Does that make sense? So that’s why we all I’ve done that in the past was to always protect the root against all odds, right? Protect the root. And then if I was going to do anything spammy, it would be on a subdomain level. And that was specifically for that reason.

However, what you can do is in this is something I’ve actually been testing recently, but I don’t have enough time passed to see in fact, I just talked about this on the last mastermind webinar, so 13 days ago, actually, about how to use subdomains and the root domain in conjunction to kind of power it up. And I can’t give away the the the method here because it can’t do that because it’s kind of an extension of something that we teach in our paid courses. But there is a way to still use somebody domains and use the root domain to kind of help power up the subdomains, with inner pages without doing anything that could catch it catch up a penalty to your route. But again, you know, as far as does the subdomains benefit each other, yes, it may not be quite as a quick effect or, or might not be as effective as inner pages. But here’s the thing, every one of those subdomains are still attached to the root, right. So again, the root domain being the parent domain is going to benefit now, you guys know we don’t talk. We don’t care much about metrics. We stopped caring about proprietary third-party metrics several years ago, but let’s just use one as an example because a lot of you guys will understand it this way. Let’s just use domain authority Moz’s metric and page authority is an example okay?

When you have a domain authority that sitewide including subdomains, right, so for example, if you have a domain authority of 20 five on the root, then your subdomains, when you create a new subdomain, it won’t automatically be 25. I don’t think so. But it will become it will benefit from the domain authority of the parent domain. And so what I have found over the years now that I’ve been developing these multi-location sites using subdomains is that at first, when you start developing, like, let’s say you start off with two locations, so you’ve got the root domain, and then to subdomains at, you know, each subdomain being four different location. And then you add, so you start optimizing, you know, doing what you do to get results. And then you add a third location. Well, that third location tech, you know, typically, according to my experience, will, will often start to get results faster than the first two dead, because it’s actually benefiting from some of the authority that has been accrued or you know, accumulated from the previous two subdomains and the route altogether, right. So as a whole, it’s now that that new subdomain is actually benefiting from the authority that has accrued from the previous two and the route itself if that makes sense. So then you add a fourth subdomain and you know, fourth location, and a fifth and a six. And what happens is I start to see each new location that I add, tends to respond quicker get results faster than the previous one, because it’s actually benefiting from the authority of the, you know, cluster essentially, that’s it’s the root domain, as well as its additional its other siblings. So, again, if you’re doing just inner pages, you’ll probably be going to get a faster effect from that. But I found that you know, as you continue to build out additional subdomains, they helped to, they kind of benefit or receive benefit from all of the previous subdomains as well. So they’re at their birth point, right. The moment that you create that subdomain, it really already has some inherent authority because of it being a subdomain of a root domain that has built authority or crude authority if that makes sense.

So, anyway, I can’t get into any more further of that, honestly, because I will be giving away too much. Come join the mastermind and will tell you all about it. So, Marco, do you want to comment on that at all or Hernan?

Marco: Now, just to validate a little bit what you’re talking about on domains, we see that domain subdomain. We see that when we do drive stacks, and we add additional folders and files, right? The more you add the more power that as you say, a cruise and I call it power. I don’t give a shit about domain authority or trust flow. I don’t give a crap about any of that its power. And so the more that you do have whatever it is that you’re doing inside the drive stack, the more power that you pushing through, and the more power that ends up wherever it is that you got that drives tech game. That’s why they work so well. Yeah. And so the more work that you do inside, the more keywords that you target, whether it’s keyword plus location or service, whatever it is that you’re doing.

You do more of it inside your drive stack. And before you know it, I mean, it’s just pushing tons of power wherever it is that you want to go. And we’ve seen people live from case studies that they even get an empty folder to rank before anything else rank. So it’s crazy the amount of power that you can do in this method, whether you’re doing it at the TL D and subdomain level or at the drive stack and G site level. Right?

Twitter Embed Code Not Displaying Properly In GSite

So if it says it says good day Semantic Mastery team thanks for this form to ask questions and get real answers. When optimizing the site, I framed Twitter the area stays blank with no message saying it won’t connect. Is that still okay? All right. I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But I know that if you just take a Twitter URL, tweet URL, a Twitter profile, URL, whatever and try to use an iframe create generator that it won’t show you have to go into Twitter developers and actually generate an embed code for it which you can do with like your timeline, tweets and stuff. So for example, you can take a Twitter profile and go to

The developers, I think it’s developers.twitter.com or something like that just do a Google search, you’ll see what I mean. And you can ask you, or even just go to Google and search, how do you create or embed a Twitter feed? And that’s what you would? Again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But if I was going to try, and I haven’t, so I haven’t tested it with G sites, guys, but you could probably it’s probably you’re using the wrong type of embed code. And that’s why it’s not displaying is what I’m saying. If you go generate the correct proper embed code from the Twitter developers site, or whatever, whatever it is, again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff, just like you can, you know, I recently I built Believe it or not, I built some PB ends recently because I was testing. I don’t use PB ends. Often guys, I very rarely use them. But I did build a few that I was testing and somebody product actually. And one of the things that they required was that you had made the site look, you know, very real. So one of the things that asked for was embedding a Twitter feed, so I had some persona profiles from some older since networks that I had built that had Twitter profiles with, you know, updates. And so I just had I had, that’s how I learned to go build this little embed code. And that’s a Twitter feed in bed, that you have to go to the developers console and sign into that account. And then you create it that way. And it gives you the specific embed code for that Twitter feed. So it’s probably that you’re using the wrong one. Now, I could be wrong guys. Because like said, I don’t do much of that stuff with Twitter at all. But I’m pretty sure if you’re trying to use just an iframe generator with a Twitter profile or something like that, it’s going to be blank, it’s going to not work.

Can You iFrame A Facebook Business Page?

Now, the next part of that question is, can you iframe in a Facebook business page? As far as I know, no, I Facebook has iframe breakers that won’t allow you to embed them anywhere using any sort of tool. If anybody has a different answer please speak up.

Hernan: I think you’re right Bradley on that on that and I haven’t personally tried to iframe Facebook but I know that you know, Facebook is kind of against that other than Facebook videos, you know that what you can allow and but you can embed that an iframe that but other than that, I wouldn’t know? Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah, I know. There are some like plugins and stuff that will allow you to embed a or you know, display a Facebook page. But it actually Yes, you have to connect it via API and all that kind of stuff like, so there are WordPress plugins that will do that. But as far as just an embed code from Facebook, I don’t think that’s possible. Once again, I don’t do much Facebook stuff. So I couldn’t tell you with all certainty, but I can I know that, like, if you try to just take a Facebook URL, and iframe it, it won’t it all, it will never display anywhere. I’ve never seen that ever work. So you have to use stuff that connects via API or authorize or what are they called Facebook apps or whatever. We actually create all that shit in order just to get even a Facebook page to show in like a widget area on a website.

Hernan: Um, so yeah, and they’re even more like they’re, they’re even more like restrictive with all of the privacy stuff that they’re going through. So that you may want to consider so.

Bradley: yeah, and then you try to iframe or when you try to embed a Facebook comments app you see what happens the previous couple on the Hangouts that and I get it I guess that’s because people can act that shit so right cool we’re going to keep moving. This chat is already thousand better than anything before devices that is cool thanks to Vaughn I’m glad you guys liked it for a bus the new battle call right revert I think that’s one of the guests says get repeatable oh that’s you that was you that’s maybe a farm setting up by a cat gotcha well mines Bradley hmm feisty forehead motherfucker in charge just in case you guys wondered what that was all about.

Do Semantic Mastery RYS Stacks Add More Value To An Existing Syndication Network & GMB Page?

Bradley: The humanoid says Marco I have an RYS Drive stack order pending and creating an RYS stack I have my syndication network complete in my see when creating a try so that I have my syndication network completed my GMB URL done. would it add more value when I have you build my RYS stacks. Thank you will thank you will

I know that was directed to Marco I’m gonna put my two cents in first before Marco answers. And if you already have your syndication network all your profile URLs to become target URLs as well. guys remember it’s just kind of about it’s just like internal linking right with your syndication network. It’s there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be powering up your tier one assets as well. So if you have all of that I would actually absolutely include those but Marco, that’s more question for you.

Marco: Yeah, I’m thinking that he wants to know if he should have the team, put them into the bill, by all means, that that’s your tier one branded, it should be included and then So when did he get the spreadsheet to hit with link building. That’s what’s going to get hit your tier one branded your GMB and everything that’s inside that drive stack. So yes, by all means, have at it, and you’re going to see some really good results. I’ve been getting a bunch of testimony.

By the way of about people having to build links to their dry stacks and then the drive stacks just going crazy. Yeah once they get some the link building done so yes have added the same thing with the ad ID page. I’ve done some testing with that and just and that’s what I loved about it. It’s one of the easiest methods because all you gotta do is go submit link building gig order to you know, I wouldn’t say to just anybody but Daddy has got it down to a science and just taking like the ad ID the iframe loop stuff that we’ve talked about and again our paid courses and almost all of them it’s available that that just works really well and again, that’s just what that magic of I frames and when you combine that with Dr. stacks or even dr stacks alone, but that’s part of it because of you know, iframe in that gets done in the site, everything else so it’s just incredibly powerful. And just hitting those that’s the beautiful thing about it guys is you know, the daddy has link building pack service which is in MYB, right? They’re still spam links, but he’s good at what he does. He’s a pro, he’s a professional, there’s no doubt and because of that, he knows how to make it really effective. And then when you use something like Google assets as the target or Amazon domain as the primary target, then it can take that kind of abuse like you can hammer away at it, and it can take it and filter it like a champ. In fact, it just kind of powers it up. Now, it’s not something that I would ever direct to the money site, but you can do you know what I mean, but you can do it two very powerful tier one assets, which is why we developed the way that we do so that’s why we don’t even use VPN, who needs a pbn? When we can use Google and Amazon assets to create the same effect and then you spam links as opposed to and I call them spam and everybody who want to do spam. But guys, I mean, that’s what link building tools do they create spam links, you can call them whatever you want. That’s really what they are. Right and so pbn links are technically spammed links to you might be buying links from you know, a domain that has good metrics, but unless it’s super well themed and all that they’re typically spam links anyways, you know what I mean? So it’s just it’s about how you use them and what you point them at. And so we recommend doing it the way that you know, at least our method we use our method for specifically for a reason. It’s efficient, and it works well. Right.

All right old school, like daddy says, will it be set up like this tomorrow? Hernan? What’s tomorrow?

Hernan: The webinar? webinar or mastermind? Yeah, now it’s gonna be on a mastermind. Yeah. It’ll be in the regular mastermind.

Bradley: Jim, think that’s when? Yeah, just the regular master the live mastermind webinar page, just like we’ve always been doing over there. I we haven’t had any problems with that over there. Now it’s in the bond site. Yeah, right. The membership site, right.

So as far as I know, we’ve never had any problems not one complaint with it over there. We had a problem with the Disqus chat app. on these pages for some reason I think it’s a Click Funnels issue like it just didn’t jive well but on the traditional mastermind webinars inside the membership site we haven’t ever had a complaint on that so if I’m wrong and you guys got some complaints about it to make them known to make them known over there in the Facebook group not here.

How Would You Strategize Sending Out An Email Campaign For Over A Year?

I blue panda whoever that is, is hey guys hope this Jeff Oh, what the hell? That’s the same as what we had before. Maybe not okay. Hey, guys hope this chat function works better than this. That piece of shit Facebook jet cheese. Yeah. Or Geez, you’re right. That was terrible. Okay, onto my question. I have a list for my niche that is big enough to send 1000 emails per day for over a year. Wow. This is simply a law of big numbers campaign for my client. These will be a one time blast. Either they respond or they don’t and the next class goes out the next day what would be the best way to approach a list of this size style of sending? I don’t know I’ve never spammed at that level before. Spam demon.

And that’s exactly what you’re doing. So the best person to answer that question is unfortunately not here. That’s Chris, our partner, Chris, he, he’s been doing that kind of work for four years. He can give you the best advice on that. But he’s not here. I’m sorry, he’s traveling. Yeah, the only thing I would know to say is that make sure that you have plenty of sending from domain email account. So in other words, making sure that you’ve got several many, many, many different email account setup, you know, that you can send from because you’re probably going to burn every single account that you send from like, almost every day.

I don’t know for sure, because it depends on how clean your list is. But typically, when you’re sending out mass emails like that, from a particular account, especially 1000 per day, you have to have accounts that have developed some sort of reputation for or else when you go to hit send on 1000 emails from an account that’s not really seasoned. It will you know, the is the internet search or email service providers will throttle those accounts and not the inbox. You know a bunch of them and also with people will start hitting the spam button which it’s likely if they were unsolicited emails, you will get a lot of people hitting the spam button, it will flag that particular domain account for or domain email excuse me for spam and so it will like they’ll just stop unboxing her nine you were going to comment? Yeah, yeah,

I agree with you. What I was about to say is that if you want to, you know, reach out to Chris just post in the Facebook group and maybe take him I don’t know if blue pen is on the mastermind group. Yeah, if you’re in the mastermind, we could get to it. You know, Chris will give you a lot of help out there. Otherwise, you could try it in the free Facebook group and I don’t know how much he’ll reveal about something like that there. But yeah, that’s the only problem like guys I talked about this a few weeks ago, but you know, I got I’ve unsubscribed from just about every single marketing list that I’m I’ve ever been on.

Over the last several months, because I decided to get really focused and you know, buying shiny objects and getting pitched new training, you know, methods and stuff like that all the time was really, and I, you know, there’s they’re kind of happens in cycles. I know a lot of you guys we’ve I’ve talked with a lot of our mastermind members over the last several months I do calls now with, you know, one on one calls with mastermind members, as a new member, you get a one on one call with one of us. And then every quarter or so I try to open up the ability to have another 30 minute call with me so I can kind of help you know, find out more about people in our mastermind and what struggles are going through and offer some guidance and and and, you know, 90 days to six months and three to six months, I have another call with them, find out if they made any progress, and they’re going to have new issues at that point. So one of the things that I’ve heard a lot through those calls without calling anybody out is that, you know, constantly being bombarded with different opportunities. And that’s because we’re all marketers, right? And so we’ve gone out and been signed up for whatever ours, which puts us on email list or we bought products, which puts us on email lists. And the next thing you know, we get hammered and you guys can all relate I’m sure you get hammered and hammered and hammered all the time with solicitation offers for training or for software or tools or services and all that kind of stuff. And you know,

I found that although they may be interesting and sometimes entertaining to go like watch webinars or to go check out the new sales page of the new tool that or software or WordPress plugin or whatever the hell it is, that typically just distracts from making any progress a real progress in my business and you know, over the years I’ve gone up and down with that, you know, sometimes a more susceptible to that other times I’m not but over the last many months now I really just started to unsubscribe from you know, ton of people’s emails. The reason I started saying that was because my oldest email account that is the account that I use, it’s a Yahoo account, Yahoo mail account, that’s the one that I used to always sign up for stuff like I don’t use my main Gmail accounts for for to sign up for lists or two webinars and things like that, because I knew that I get on a spam list, right and people would start spamming me. I’m still getting a ton of spam over there. But I’ve never voluntarily or I very, very rarely voluntarily used one of those primary Gmail type email addresses for signing up for that stuff. But I had a Yahoo mail account that was just getting spammed to death. And so over the last several months, I have really, really gotten a much better handle on that too. Because what I’ve done is I’ve gone every time I get an email now I just daily maintenance Now, every single day, I go through my Yahoo account probably two maybe three times a day. And if there’s an email that came is comes to me that I was unsolicited, which is you know, it’s they don’t come nearly as often as they used to now, I open up the email, I scroll right to the bottom finance subscribe button, I click it and make sure you know in the page reloads that it’s that in the net new tab that I’ve unsubscribed. Then I close that tab and I go back in and I click the spam button and Yahoo

And I do that every single day. And, you know, I used to get literally dozens, sometimes hundreds of emails per day, as many of you guys can probably relate. And now I swear to God, this is no bullshit over the last, probably five to six weeks now, I might get two or three emails per day and some days I don’t get any spam or unsolicited emails anymore. And that’s because I’ve gotten into the habit of doing that. So now it’s much more manageable like that, that email counts almost like a clean account. Now I do still get occasional as I said, Sometimes I’ll get one. Sometimes I get two or even three spam emails where it’s another internet marketer that bought my name off the list somewhere and sends me some bullshit email about the newest WordPress plugin. But I open up the email, I go straight to the unsubscribe button, unsubscribe and then come back and hit the spam button. And so it’s really really reduced that now the reason I said that was because if you start emailing people with unsolicited emails, you’re likely going to have many of them going to hit that spam button and that’s going to tank your deliverability, just like that. So if you’re going to be doing that sort of a strategy, you’re going to need a ton of email accounts ready, essentially one per day and even that, I don’t know that I’d send 1000 per day from one account. I probably split that up across multiple accounts. Okay.

Can You Still A GSite And Empower A Client’s Money Site If You Don’t Have Access To Their Email Account?

Anyways, it says when working with clients and you don’t have access to their email account, can you create a G site for them embed their properties and deliver the power to the money site URL? Well, yeah, I would never ask for access to my clients Google accounts ever never do I asked for that. So that’s how we do it right? We create and fits if it’s the same fits as I know that we used to be in our mastermind you should know that. And it might not be but ya know, like, for example, we just we create for clients created or even if for you guys that buy stuff from us, we’re going to go create a Google account.

To create your assets, the same thing with my clients, I go create a Google account, right or if they’re on G sweet, which some of them are, but most of them aren’t, then I have them add, you know, create an email or user account for me. And then I will end up, you know, giving me they, and then I asked them to give me permissions for to access the other accounts, like our Google Apps essentially within that account, right? That makes sense. And guys, you know, send a screencast video tutorial video to your users. So for example, I don’t ever ask for Google account access, but I do ask for to be added as a Google My Business Manager to their GMB for example. Right. So how do you do that? Well, unless you ask for their login details and go do it set, you know, add yourself as a manager, you know, add yourself as a manager, you got to ask them to do it. So if they don’t know how to do it, you got to provide them with instructions. The easiest way to do that, in my opinion, is to just do a quick tutorial video and show them hey, show him another GMB account. say look, login go to business google. com

Left-hand sidebar, you’re going to go click users, this little box is going to show you’re going to see a little plus icon at the top, click that to add new user at my email address from the drop-down, select, you know, manager, not site or not owner, just add me as a manager and then click you know, invite or send or whatever the button says, and I’ll get an invitation and then I’ll go be able to access you can do the same thing, if they have, you know, if you wanted it to be hosted on their main Google account, like a G site, which is unnecessary. But if you wanted to, you could give them instructions on a go into sites, google.com and add me as a user or manager, whatever, give me permission to be able to access that app within your Google account. However, it doesn’t matter because you can create the new account, build everything under the new account and then add your client Gmail account as a manager and then transfer ownership if you needed to. But again, it’s really unnecessary. It doesn’t matter who the Google account is. You can push the power the SEO juice anywhere you want. Okay.

Facebook Embed Post

Facebook also gives you an embed code for each post. Really? Yeah, it does. You so you can embed a Facebook post? Yes, that is correct. When did that start? Yeah,

it’s always been there. Yeah, it’s been rough. But Jay get. So if you get if you create, like, for instance, if you create, I don’t know, post with a link or a post with an image bubble, blah, then you can embed that somewhere. So it has to, it has to be on in your timeline. Or it has to be like, like on an open page. It can be like, if it’s a closed group, you can’t do anything with it. If if it’s a member, whatever it if it’s hidden or secret or Harvard. I don’t know too much about Facebook. I’m just there answering questions. Yeah, but if it’s open, right, and if it’s public, yes, Google will not Google Facebook will give you an embed code for that post or for whatever it

Is that you’re doing an image or video. But in those at one post though, right, correct, I don’t I think that you’re right that there’s an X breaker if you try to embed the like the entire face. Yeah. Yeah. And it has to come from a, from a Facebook page, if that makes sense. Not from a profile. You know, even if the profile is public, there’s a lot of, you know, stuff going on with privacy and whatnot. So it needs to come from a Facebook page, which is what your clients are going to be using anyway. Right. So um, so yeah, but that’s, that’s another caveat that you want to have in mind. Yeah, well, I mean, okay, so that may mean that that’s cool. And all but you know, unless you’re going to go in and update the iframe, or the embed code on a regular basis on your sites. I don’t see how I mean, obviously, if you’ve got I guess one post that you specifically trying to power up then yeah, and you could embed it and then hammer and you know, the G site or wherever you’ve got an embedded with links or something like that, but you know, typically I like to set up the iframe that is going to update dynamically. So I publish content and it’s on an automatically be in the iframe that I’m trying to power up. Do you know what I mean? So that’s cool. I didn’t, I wasn’t aware that you could embed individual posts, but say, that’s cool. I just learned something. Yep. Very cool. Yep.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords

Okay, so Gordon’s up again, it says, Thanks a lot for your previous answer. You’re welcome. He says, which brought up this question and used to be okay to use duplicate content for different sites targeting and local niche in different cities, just changing the location info one site for each city. But is that still true? I’ve never done that. Gordon. Honestly, I’ve always advocated for using unique content for all those and that’s specifically because, at some point, it could be, you know, toxic, it could you could end up catching a penalty because it is all duplicate content and duplicate content, guys, it’s supposed to be on the same domain, I get that, but on the same subdomains, you know, I don’t I don’t like that because it’s not as effective.

So what I’ve always always always suggested Yes, it has worked, you can just swap out location information. So like essentially the city modifier within the content. But it’s inexpensive to have a piece of content written and then have it rewritten, it’s a lot less expensive to have it rewritten than to have original content written for each, which by the way, when you go to a content farm, none of its original, all they’re doing is rewriting other content that they’ve scraped from the web, just so you’re aware of that, guys, when you go buy an article from a content farm. It is a rewritten article from something else on the web that they scraped, that’s it, there’s nobody there is actually writing an original article. all they’re doing is going easy and articles or somewhere else scraping an article and then rewriting it and usually it’s rewritten very poorly, by the way, but what I’m saying is you can go out and order an article, habit, you know, Britain for whatever, let’s say it’s 1000 word article, and it cost you 40 bucks. And then you have article rewrites. So let’s say you got six locations six subdomains where you got the URL

So that you paid 40 bucks for that, but then you order five rewrites, it might cost you $8 per rewrite. And now you’ve got six, original, unique, let’s just I’m using air quotes, but six or unique articles that are going to be more effective, in my opinion, long term, then having the same piece of content used across multiple sites where the only thing you change this is the location modifier. So that’s how I’ve done that, guys. I’ve got lead gen assets out there with subdomains with 20 subdomains, and they each have their own unique content. You know, and that’s specifically for that reason.

You know, again, it’s your call, I’ve always wanted to build long term assets that will rank and produce revenue for me for years, and I’ve got many of them. And so, you know, again, it’s all I always think about, it might be a little bit more expensive, a little bit more hassle on the front end. But what’s more of a hassle having assets that stopped producing or start performing poorly, because of you took shortcut cuts on the front end. You know if they’re producing revenue for you and again guys I don’t know if it works or not because I just don’t do it. I don’t know if it still works or not but other people may be able to comment and say oh it works fine that’s fine if you want to build your business that way do it you know, there’s it’s up to you. So I don’t recommend it though. Honestly, I try to do the work up front so that it will produce for me for the long term and I don’t have to continually worry about that shit.

Do you remember that when they first came out with pandas and penguins? What that what Google was asking for rich unique relevant content that’s updated on a regular basis how often they repeated that that was when the doofus what’s his name was still with with with the spam team gotten Matt Cutts right. When that was so that this is they kept asking them they didn’t they keep doing it over and over fresh, unique relevant content updated on a regular basis. But the telling you that for a reason the bot feeds of content

Now I know that people have done tests when and where, you know, they’ve used Latin. And it ranked, but there were still keywords interspersed with that Latin garbage that made it rank and that’s what the bite is feeding off. It’s feeding off that information that you’re giving it. And if you just keep pushing the same information over and over, we have seen this, again, we always test guys is why we can give you the answers to these questions. We’ve seen it time and again and local GMB Pro, that if you use different posts, that if you do it regularly, whatever regularly means for your niche because niches a different each unique niche will react differently to the post frequency. But we know that if you use fresh, unique, relevant content, update on a regular basis, fresh images or you make Google think that they’re fresh images

Marco: don’t even have to be, it’s just all about feeding them but the information that the bot is coded to look for. It’s looking for these variables, right the keyword in the right places, and in the right amount and then information. And, and it’s also looking at how a real person interacts with that content that you’re displaying. And whether that person finishes, whatever action they set out to do. All of this is part of it. Now, if you give people the same information over and over and over again until you change this is a little bit eventually that gets stale, and the bodies will be able to tell how people react to that. And the one thing you’d never want to do is you never want to send us a negative signal. We always concentrate on feeding them but the positive signals that’s going to get us positive actions and reactions going to get us better placement.

going to give us knowledge panel displays is going to get us calls. And it’s going to get us web site visits, and whatever else, right, whatever else that we’re looking for. But it all starts with your content. And yes, you can feed garbage. But eventually, what will happen is it’ll get the index just like it happened with that test website that was done. But that one was just to show what you could do with the content place in in in the right areas. And in the right amount. Guys, don’t trick yourself into thinking I’m going to take the easy way out and just change the location. Give people a reason to think about it. Think like the end user, right? If I’m going in there, and I’m looking to have my problem solved, and I keep seeing the same garbage over and over. I don’t want to deal with that. I want someone that that’s talking to me as the end user, and someone who’s going to help me solve my problem, become problem solvers and you’re going to go a long way towards really developing your content in a way that people are really going to enjoy interacting with, and in the long run is going to make your whole lot more money than taking shortcuts. Yeah.

Bradley: All right. We’re going to wrap it up here in a minute. But if it says mastermind calls from Bradley are awesome, relevant, timely, and actionable period. Thanks fits. Appreciate that. Yeah, I’ve enjoyed those calls. I had a couple of this week already. So again, I appreciate that. And then lastly, Gordon had posted one more question. That’s fine, Gordon, we appreciate that. He says, since relied on questions, I’ll ask something else. And this is a good question.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords?

He says when creating local Legion pages, is it better or easier to create a different page for each keyword or to try to rank a single location page for a bunch of different keywords? Yeah, so that’s a great question. Because several years ago, that was the method was to it was and that was the industry, right? The traditional knowledge, right was to go out and create. Each page would be optimized for a singular keyword. Right. That was really how silo structure was started.

be taught was, you go out and you create a silo and then you collect the supporting keywords for that silo and then you start creating posts within the silo that each post is optimized for one keyword. And that can still be applied today. But the thing is, though, you’re better off. So let me back up for a minute like with a complex silo, guys, there are categories and subcategories, right? And so what I’m saying is it used to be it was taught for a while the best practices was was to create your top-level keyword would be the top-level page, your top level category. And then for your next tier down of keywords, right, you’re supporting keywords, you would create a subcategory for each of those keywords. Right, so that’s a child page. And then at your post level, you would go out and take longer tail versions of your second tier keywords and you would create individual posts for each one of those that would link up to your sub-category pages, right. And so that was very granular It was like Uber optimized content. But after panda three or four I don’t even remember which one it was but it was sometime around 2014 timeframe we started noticing that that was less effective and now and that’s because guys the algorithm has gotten so much better and understanding natural language right it with AI and rank brain and all of that it understands content and its totality now a lot better than it used to, right it’s Google’s gotten incredibly advanced in that respect. And so now you can actually have longer form content that targets many semantically related keywords that’s the key right? So instead of going out and creating multiple pages, which is kind of a bitch anyway, and it’s it’s really makes as Marco was just talking about, it makes for a shitty user experience to if you go to a site and you have to click to another page to learn more about a very similar keyword anyways or product or service. So it just becomes repetition over and over and over again. And that’s less effective. So you’re better off creating a long-form piece of content, as it as a page that has a lot of your relevant similarly related keywords within that page, you can even have somewhat broader topics combined on the same page. So provided that they’re segregated by correct segments, or headings, and other words, sections within the page. So you know, and I’ve experimented with even ranking one page websites guys for, you know, multiple types of keywords like that wouldn’t even be in the same silo. But because of the way that you organize the content on the page, you can still rank for that. Here’s another example, using like Table of Contents or navigation links with hot links that go to those sections on the page. So that’s a good way to kind of set to analyze the content within a page to where you can only you can have one page that can rank for multiple keywords or themes that make sense. So to answer your question.

I wouldn’t go with optimizing for singular keywords. No, don’t get me wrong if you’re if you’re doing short blog posts, for example, I target, you know, with GMB posts a lot singular keywords, I mean, we still I still sprinkling variations of that single keyword, but there’s one primary keyword typically for me, for GMB posts. So you can still do that. But for your pages on your site, right, I’m talking about posts doing that. But for your pages on your site, which are typically what you’re trying to rank, you’re using posts to support the page, right? So for pages, I would recommend going with longer form content instead. That’s why I don’t usually recommend using complex silos anymore because you can accomplish it with simple silos, which is just categories and page, top-level categories and pages and then post supporting posts. Because complex structures are exactly what their name implies. They’re complex. They’re hard to manage. It’s hard to map out in the beginning, and it’s, it’s honestly, I think it’s overkill for most stuff, especially for local it’s overkill for most local things. All right.

Okay five o'clock I’ve got to go but I am going to read this comment real quick Jim says FYI everyone I placed an order for keyword research it was actually too good with too many keywords but they do break it down and suggest which keywords you should target which ones are good for silo and for supporting keywords. Don’t hesitate to order you won’t regret the quality time saved that it takes the guesswork out of it. shipped Marco trains them. Hello. Thanks, Jim. Jim. So, Alright guys, everybody. We appreciate you being here. I’m kind of digging this app even though it looks old school. It’s kind of cool. what you guys think. I like it. I mean, it works. Yeah. Works. Nobody’s complaining about getting locked out of any account so far. So we’ll see. All right, everybody. We’ll see you guys tomorrow on the mastermind and everyone else next week. Thanks for being here, man. Later see

So those are the announcements I think I nailed it. I might have something I’m going to paste Now I need to copy and paste some stuff on the thing so so yeah, there was we got I guess,

Bradley: Let me tease what you’re doing tomorrow or non so that you don’t have to toot your own horn. We got, we’ve been doing kind of a series in the mastermind. We’re probably going to end up launching a product around it anyways, but it’s Pay Per Click marketing for local and how to get results. We had a course that I produced about two, maybe two and a half years ago now called Local Kingpin. And it was specifically for using Google AdWords obviously, it’s now Google ads, but formerly Google AdWords for setting up lead gen assets and dry and using, you know, producing leads for local businesses, either on a client basis or even on a lead gen basis where you’re selling leads. And that worked really well. But the Google Ads dash dashboard, the whole platform has evolved a lot in the last two and a half years, considerably. And, you know, Google Ads themselves for search ads, excuse me, so search ads are rather expensive, you can still be profitable with that. There’s no question but it’s fucking expensive. So I’ve actually gotten away from using search ads and get more into using display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing obviously, and it works really well because the display ads are the display ad platform is so much better than it used to be. And you know, years ago when I had developed the local kingpin training

It was in that method that I was using display ads. Suck it, they might have worked, but it sucked setting them up because you had to go out in the order or design your own banner ads and you had designed them and all the various sizes that you wanted to display them in. So the leaderboard, and you know, this 350 by 250 rectangles, you know, all these different sizes. And so it was a pain in the ass, I would hire a graphic designer to develop a set of banner ads, and that would be one set of banner ads, and it might cost me 50 or 60 bucks. If you wanted to split test, you’d have to pay for another set of ads, right. And so it was just it was you’d have to wait for you know, several days to get them back from the designer. And it’s a real pain in the ass. And so it wasn’t very efficient. And it wasn’t very effective unless you really split test a lot and then found a winning combination of ads. But now what you can do on the Display Network when you’re setting up display ads is you actually just import photos, it photos and images and let your logo as well and

It’s a square version and rectangular version for each. And then you get to add up to five short headlines, one long headline and then up to five descriptions. So and there’s, you know, character limits for each. But then what Google does is Google will create responsive display ads out of just the images that you upload it to just regular photos will work or graphics, either one and then will automatically start rotating through your various headlines and descriptions to find out which gets the highest click through as an engagement. And then it will start to auto-optimize the campaign and start serving the ads that are the combinations that performed the best more and more often. And so it’s so much easier to set up a campaign now. And although obviously, display ads don’t convert nearly as well as like search ads do, it’s a fraction of the cost guys, and with the audience targeting that Google Display Network has now or Google has period. They have what they call in market audiences and life event audiences and you can even create custom intent audiences.

is now based on keywords which are really cool. I just started playing with that actually. And so if you go and find the you know in the in the in the in-market audience targeting settings if you can go in and find an end market audience for the businesses that you’re generating leads for then those tend to be very good and like for me for contractors typically a the average cost per click runs between anywhere between about 85 cents to $1 50. So somewhere in that range depending on what type of contractor it is that I’m generating leads for. And so that’s a fraction of the cost it just for it’s just quickly for some perspective here, for roofing leads, for example, it could in some of the areas that I do SEO work and generate leads for roofers of roofing. A click for search ads for roofing type keywords can cost 35 to $40 per click. And you know, typically an average conversion rate is somewhere anywhere between 32

40% right, so you’re talking about three clicks to get one lead at $35 per click, that’s $105 per lead. That, to me is incredibly expensive. But with those, if you can there in the market audience targeting, you can actually see that there are a roofing odd Roofing Services in the market audience, and you can use that for display ads. And maybe this says you pay $1 per click will just use a nice round number. And it might be a 10% conversion rate as opposed to 30 or even a 5% conversion rate, which means you need 20 clicks to get one lead, but 20 clicks at $1 to get one lead guy think about that as 20 bucks per lead as opposed to 100 bucks per lead when you’re using search ads. So keep that in mind and that’s for cold traffic. But also for remarketing purposes. Like honestly, if you’re not using remarketing in you’re doing Client Services, you’re nuts because it’s just an inexpensive way to get additional traffic back to

The site and even if that traffic doesn’t convert a lot, a lot of it will, but doesn’t convert into leads. It’s a great branding tool to help that business to gain brand recognition so that people will think of them and go search for their brand name when it’s time for them to need their product or service because they’re constantly reminded of that business. So, long story short,

we’re going to work we’ve been doing a series of training inside the mastermind about using Google ads for Local Lead Generation, not search ads, but display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing ads. And tomorrow Hernan being the Facebook marketing expert that he is, he’s coming into the mastermind to do a full training on how to use Facebook ads for Local Lead Generation. And then we’re actually going to probably be packaging all that up over the next 60 to 90 days at some point and then launching that as a separate product as kind of an update to local kingpin, but we’re going to rebrand it because it’s really going to be a whole new course. Did you guys lose me?

Hernan: No

Bradley: I got a frozen screen. Okay, yeah, there you go. Okay, so anyways, just kind of wanted to teach you guys a little bit on what’s going on in the mastermind tomorrow. Those of you that are the mastermind a lot there’s been a discussion thread by the way or not, did you see the discussion thread in the Facebook group, but are saying that we’re going to rope you into actually contributing more than just the mastermind because they want a full soup to nuts type train. Yeah. So yeah, well, yeah, if there’s a need for it,  you know, the mastermind has the privilege that you know, if you guys there’s a real need about, you know, a specific type of training that you guys want to go after, then we can make a series there’s no problem about that. We’re all about, you know, serving our members as much as we possibly can. So that if that, you know, we have a good response tomorrow, that’s potentially going to happen, at least initially within the mastermind, and then we’ll go from there. But yeah, my idea is to cover as much terrain as possible tomorrow specifically, and then if we need to do another iteration of the, of the training or you know, walk you guys through a couple of case studies. So for instance, I was going through one of the clients that I manage, and we, so he’s a chiropractor. He’s a local chiropractor, and he has four clinics in Dallas. And over the past, I would say over the past six months, we have spent around $160,000 in advertising, and we have generated almost 4000 confirm appointments to those four offices. Now that is rough. So he is charging $49 per appointment, right? It’s an intra massage offer. So he’s charging $49 per appointment. We’re getting him we’re getting those appointments for around 39 to $40. So he’s, you know, making money on the front end, but that’s not even the best thing. The best thing is that each customer forth to him on average $300 you know because they show up to his office and they buy a bunch of stuff and they buy additional massages and they buy so that’s

Average and that’s on the low side. So there’s, there’s effectively we have been moving the needle real hard. He’s super happy Of course because he’s growing. He’s expanding locations and whatnot, and some of the stuff that we were able to implement for him. We will be talking about tomorrow on the mastermind, so it’s going to be pretty cool. Yeah, awesome. Yeah. Alright, so the last thing we’re going to tease before we get into questions, which we were kind of just hoping that more questions would fill in this chat box anyways, uh, we’ve got video lead gen system

to Dotto really is launching next week, next Tuesday. As a matter of fact, we’re going to talk about it well, the first part of next week’s webinar, Hump Day hangouts is going to be where we’re going to, you know, kind of get into some detail about what it’s about and all that because I completely updated it so that still the old training is there, the old method, which I did for years, but over the last several months, I’ve been really redeveloping that method to make it more streamlined and efficient, something that a lot of it can be outsourced, but also just to make it to where, even if you were doing this yourself like, you know, managing the all of the video lead gen or video email campaigns on your own, I don’t recommend that. But if a lot of people still going to do it on their own anyway, it’s a lot more efficient now to where what used to take roughly 20 to 30 minutes per video email to send out. Now what will take you just two to three minutes No kidding, there’s there will be a setup period on the front end where you can’t get into the method here, there’ll be a setup period where it might take you an hour to get everything set up. But then from there for every prospect you want to mail to, it’s literally two to three minutes. And that’s it. And so it’s a hell of a lot more efficient. And I’ve tested a lot of different follow-up methods from that as well to once you are notified of engagement and I talked about all of this in the training and found several different methods that work really well to the kind of get the conversation going and stuff and so I go into great detail. It’s basically a whole new course but you’re still going to get the original version, as well as the Everything’s under

The same membership site now. So there’s the original version, which still works, but it’s a bit more time-consuming. And then there’s the newer version that can be applied to pretty much any sort of marketing service I use specifically one, were really two types of methods for monetizing it. In the examples and in the training, I talked about how to use it for monetizing lead gen assets. And then I also talked about for client services, if you’re just doing outreach for clients instead of lead generation service providers. Then, you know, there’s a method I talked about specifically optimizing GMB stuff, but it can be modified or an applied to pretty much any sort of service that you offer. So if you’re a digital marketer does Facebook ads like her non for example, you could still use the video lead gen system, you just obviously are going to talk about how you can get results with Facebook as opposed to how you can get results with Google My Business. So any of you guys one of the things that we do is we surveyed you guys on a consistent basis to find out what what-what our audience needs, and something that comes up all the time is client getting right? securing clients and that kind of stuff. And so that’s really what this was all about. It’s so that you guys can go out and least get the conversation started. It’s not sales training. I’m not real good at sales unless I got a referral, like been referral but as far as getting the conversation going for prospecting, it’s an outstanding way to do it’s very unique, you’ll get a lot of responses that way. And then it’s really going to be up to you to present your offer in such a way that you close the client, you know what I mean? Or the prospect at that point. So anyways, be on the lookout for that guys. Next week, we’re going to do like we typically have done in the past, which is a limited offer on the front end for 24 hours and then the price will go up. And that’s typically how we do that. So be on the lookout for that next week.

Okay, anything else? I think we’re good.

Alright, cool. Let’s get into questions. Alright, so with our 1989 looking chat box, which kind of cool though. Let’s get into it will start at the top

What Are Your Thoughts On Keyword Research Ninja?

KT says what are your thoughts on keyword research ninja? I have no thoughts on it whatsoever I’ve never used it I really don’t use any keyword research tools anymore other than Power Suggest Pro, Google AdWords you know, the Google Ads keyword planner for because I still do PPC stuff. And then we have our own in-house keyword research product that is like anytime you need keywords, that’s, you know, our go-to source now is MGYB? We have the keyword research done over there because it takes hours to compile a good list of keywords. Really, you can spend hours doing that and organizing the keywords into silos and you know, proper themes and that kind of stuff. And that’s what our, you know, our product on keyword research is specifically it’s you know, our assistant or employee that does all of that have access to multiple tools, SEM Rush, Power Suggest Pro, you know, all different kinds of tools that she uses to actually develop these reports and puts them into silos and all that kind of stuff. So different type of intent keywords, commercial intent, informational queries, that kind of stuff. So it just makes it super easy. So honestly, I can’t give you an opinion on any of those keyword tools because I just don’t use them. It just requires too much time in my opinion. And I’d rather outsource that or use a simple tool when I’m going to do it myself such as Power Suggest Pro. Marco or anybody else wants to comment on any of those.

Marco: I agree that that’s all I use. I use our keyword research. I mean, I taught them how to do it for a reason it’s based on the way that you do it. And the way that I do it, which is Google Trends and power suggest Pro with Google ads, right the Keyword Planner Tool, and but the basis is right there. Then we go into everything else and we drill down as much as we can get as much information as possible go to Answer the Public. We just use just a ton of different tools that we can get all of the keywords. I mean, you get thousands sometimes I see our report come back, and it’s 7, 8, 9 thousand keywords strong. And I’m thinking, this is like the best way to take down a market. Let me if you really need to start and understand your market and the words involved in your market. There’s nothing better. I mean, I don’t know I can’t speak on keyword research Ninja, it might be fabulous. But I can’t say anything other than the way that we have it set up works perfectly well for what we do. Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah. And again, it’s the amount of time that goes into that, you know, I got away from doing it myself because it just takes too much time. Especially to Oregon. Like it’s easy to spit out a bunch of keywords with a tool but to organize them in proper themes, you know, and basically silos and that kind of stuff and intent type people words like that’s yet I mean, as far as I know, that’s manual. I don’t know tools that actually do that maybe keyword research and into does that. I don’t know, I don’t even look at tools like that anymore. So, unfortunately, I can’t give you a good answer to that.

Does Using Subdomains Produce Better SEO Juice Than Using Pages For Multi-City Local Lead Gen Site?

Gordon’s up he says thank you very much again for the help you provide on hump days. You’re welcome. He says he when setting up a multi-city local lead gen site you have advised in the past few subdomains of the main domain for each city instead of using a page under the main domain. When using pages, I know that the SEO juice can be spread among all the city pages, but when using subdomains is the SEO just spread among all the subdomains to help each other one rank met each one rank better, or does each subdomain stand on its own for SEO purposes? Well, it’s a little of both Gordon because, again, a subdomain is treated as a separate entity by Google right. But there is the parent domain being the root domain. So you can the way I always looked at it was subdomains and other subdomains of the same root domain are called siblings, sibling domains, right and the parent domain being the root.

And so what happens is each one of the subdomains or sibling domains are their own standalone sites, which is good for protection purposes. And that’s what we’ve talked about. That’s the reason why I’ve always done that. Now, it’s funny because I really don’t do anything spammy anymore, at least not to the actual money sites. So I can probably get away with just doing the inner pages, but it’s still allowed. You’re still a, you know, and that it doesn’t mean that what we do right now, doesn’t couldn’t be considered spammy tomorrow, because we don’t work for Google. Right. And so even though I’ve never really had, at least for several years now, I haven’t had any issues with getting sites deindexed or penalize. I’ve always kept using subdomains specifically to minimize risk, right to reduce exposure, so to speak. Because as I’ve said before, if you put all of your location pages on the root, so their inner pages, right, and if you catch a penalty against any one of those pages, it could pull the whole site down and all of your other location pages.

Although again, as I said, the methods that we teach, haven’t knock on wood, they haven’t created any penalties that I’m aware of, for any of my own stuff, as well as any of our students, okay, that I’m aware of. And so you could probably get away with doing it on inner pages for management purposes, that would be much easier for there’s no doubt because you’d all you’d have just one site to manage. That said, though, just keep in mind that that’s putting all of your eggs in one basket. So if Google decides to take that basket, or destroy one of the eggs in that basket, it could very well hurt all the others as well. So back to the original question, a subdomain is kind of a standalone site in that if a subdomain was to catch a penalty, for some reason or another, it would only affect that subdomain, the route would be left intact would remain healthy and all of the other sibling domains or subdomains would also remain healthy, untouched, essentially, from that penalty that’s been levied against that one subdomain. So it’s isolates any potential penalty problems. However, if you were to catch a penalty against the root domain, it would automatically apply to all of the child domains or subdomains. Does that make sense? So that’s why we all I’ve done that in the past was to always protect the root against all odds, right? Protect the root. And then if I was going to do anything spammy, it would be on a subdomain level. And that was specifically for that reason.

However, what you can do is in this is something I’ve actually been testing recently, but I don’t have enough time passed to see in fact, I just talked about this on the last mastermind webinar, so 13 days ago, actually, about how to use subdomains and the root domain in conjunction to kind of power it up. And I can’t give away the the the method here because it can’t do that because it’s kind of an extension of something that we teach in our paid courses. But there is a way to still use somebody domains and use the root domain to kind of help power up the subdomains, with inner pages without doing anything that could catch it catch up a penalty to your route. But again, you know, as far as does the subdomains benefit each other, yes, it may not be quite as a quick effect or, or might not be as effective as inner pages. But here’s the thing, every one of those subdomains are still attached to the root, right. So again, the root domain being the parent domain is going to benefit now, you guys know we don’t talk. We don’t care much about metrics. We stopped caring about proprietary third-party metrics several years ago, but let’s just use one as an example because a lot of you guys will understand it this way. Let’s just use domain authority Moz’s metric and page authority is an example okay?

When you have a domain authority that sitewide including subdomains, right, so for example, if you have a domain authority of 20 five on the root, then your subdomains, when you create a new subdomain, it won’t automatically be 25. I don’t think so. But it will become it will benefit from the domain authority of the parent domain. And so what I have found over the years now that I’ve been developing these multi-location sites using subdomains is that at first, when you start developing, like, let’s say you start off with two locations, so you’ve got the root domain, and then to subdomains at, you know, each subdomain being four different location. And then you add, so you start optimizing, you know, doing what you do to get results. And then you add a third location. Well, that third location tech, you know, typically, according to my experience, will, will often start to get results faster than the first two dead, because it’s actually benefiting from some of the authority that has been accrued or you know, accumulated from the previous two subdomains and the route altogether, right. So as a whole, it’s now that that new subdomain is actually benefiting from the authority that has accrued from the previous two and the route itself if that makes sense. So then you add a fourth subdomain and you know, fourth location, and a fifth and a six. And what happens is I start to see each new location that I add, tends to respond quicker get results faster than the previous one, because it’s actually benefiting from the authority of the, you know, cluster essentially, that’s it’s the root domain, as well as its additional its other siblings. So, again, if you’re doing just inner pages, you’ll probably be going to get a faster effect from that. But I found that you know, as you continue to build out additional subdomains, they helped to, they kind of benefit or receive benefit from all of the previous subdomains as well. So they’re at their birth point, right. The moment that you create that subdomain, it really already has some inherent authority because of it being a subdomain of a root domain that has built authority or crude authority if that makes sense.

So, anyway, I can’t get into any more further of that, honestly, because I will be giving away too much. Come join the mastermind and will tell you all about it. So, Marco, do you want to comment on that at all or Hernan?

Marco: Now, just to validate a little bit what you’re talking about on domains, we see that domain subdomain. We see that when we do drive stacks, and we add additional folders and files, right? The more you add the more power that as you say, a cruise and I call it power. I don’t give a shit about domain authority or trust flow. I don’t give a crap about any of that its power. And so the more that you do have whatever it is that you’re doing inside the drive stack, the more power that you pushing through, and the more power that ends up wherever it is that you got that drives tech game. That’s why they work so well. Yeah. And so the more work that you do inside, the more keywords that you target, whether it’s keyword plus location or service, whatever it is that you’re doing.

You do more of it inside your drive stack. And before you know it, I mean, it’s just pushing tons of power wherever it is that you want to go. And we’ve seen people live from case studies that they even get an empty folder to rank before anything else rank. So it’s crazy the amount of power that you can do in this method, whether you’re doing it at the TL D and subdomain level or at the drive stack and G site level. Right?

Twitter Embed Code Not Displaying Properly In GSite

So if it says it says good day Semantic Mastery team thanks for this form to ask questions and get real answers. When optimizing the site, I framed Twitter the area stays blank with no message saying it won’t connect. Is that still okay? All right. I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But I know that if you just take a Twitter URL, tweet URL, a Twitter profile, URL, whatever and try to use an iframe create generator that it won’t show you have to go into Twitter developers and actually generate an embed code for it which you can do with like your timeline, tweets and stuff. So for example, you can take a Twitter profile and go to

The developers, I think it’s developers.twitter.com or something like that just do a Google search, you’ll see what I mean. And you can ask you, or even just go to Google and search, how do you create or embed a Twitter feed? And that’s what you would? Again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But if I was going to try, and I haven’t, so I haven’t tested it with G sites, guys, but you could probably it’s probably you’re using the wrong type of embed code. And that’s why it’s not displaying is what I’m saying. If you go generate the correct proper embed code from the Twitter developers site, or whatever, whatever it is, again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff, just like you can, you know, I recently I built Believe it or not, I built some PB ends recently because I was testing. I don’t use PB ends. Often guys, I very rarely use them. But I did build a few that I was testing and somebody product actually. And one of the things that they required was that you had made the site look, you know, very real. So one of the things that asked for was embedding a Twitter feed, so I had some persona profiles from some older since networks that I had built that had Twitter profiles with, you know, updates. And so I just had I had, that’s how I learned to go build this little embed code. And that’s a Twitter feed in bed, that you have to go to the developers console and sign into that account. And then you create it that way. And it gives you the specific embed code for that Twitter feed. So it’s probably that you’re using the wrong one. Now, I could be wrong guys. Because like said, I don’t do much of that stuff with Twitter at all. But I’m pretty sure if you’re trying to use just an iframe generator with a Twitter profile or something like that, it’s going to be blank, it’s going to not work.

Can You iFrame A Facebook Business Page?

Now, the next part of that question is, can you iframe in a Facebook business page? As far as I know, no, I Facebook has iframe breakers that won’t allow you to embed them anywhere using any sort of tool. If anybody has a different answer please speak up.

Hernan: I think you’re right Bradley on that on that and I haven’t personally tried to iframe Facebook but I know that you know, Facebook is kind of against that other than Facebook videos, you know that what you can allow and but you can embed that an iframe that but other than that, I wouldn’t know? Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah, I know. There are some like plugins and stuff that will allow you to embed a or you know, display a Facebook page. But it actually Yes, you have to connect it via API and all that kind of stuff like, so there are WordPress plugins that will do that. But as far as just an embed code from Facebook, I don’t think that’s possible. Once again, I don’t do much Facebook stuff. So I couldn’t tell you with all certainty, but I can I know that, like, if you try to just take a Facebook URL, and iframe it, it won’t it all, it will never display anywhere. I’ve never seen that ever work. So you have to use stuff that connects via API or authorize or what are they called Facebook apps or whatever. We actually create all that shit in order just to get even a Facebook page to show in like a widget area on a website.

Hernan: Um, so yeah, and they’re even more like they’re, they’re even more like restrictive with all of the privacy stuff that they’re going through. So that you may want to consider so.

Bradley: yeah, and then you try to iframe or when you try to embed a Facebook comments app you see what happens the previous couple on the Hangouts that and I get it I guess that’s because people can act that shit so right cool we’re going to keep moving. This chat is already thousand better than anything before devices that is cool thanks to Vaughn I’m glad you guys liked it for a bus the new battle call right revert I think that’s one of the guests says get repeatable oh that’s you that was you that’s maybe a farm setting up by a cat gotcha well mines Bradley hmm feisty forehead motherfucker in charge just in case you guys wondered what that was all about.

Do Semantic Mastery RYS Stacks Add More Value To An Existing Syndication Network & GMB Page?

Bradley: The humanoid says Marco I have an RYS Drive stack order pending and creating an RYS stack I have my syndication network complete in my see when creating a try so that I have my syndication network completed my GMB URL done. would it add more value when I have you build my RYS stacks. Thank you will thank you will

I know that was directed to Marco I’m gonna put my two cents in first before Marco answers. And if you already have your syndication network all your profile URLs to become target URLs as well. guys remember it’s just kind of about it’s just like internal linking right with your syndication network. It’s there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be powering up your tier one assets as well. So if you have all of that I would actually absolutely include those but Marco, that’s more question for you.

Marco: Yeah, I’m thinking that he wants to know if he should have the team, put them into the bill, by all means, that that’s your tier one branded, it should be included and then So when did he get the spreadsheet to hit with link building. That’s what’s going to get hit your tier one branded your GMB and everything that’s inside that drive stack. So yes, by all means, have at it, and you’re going to see some really good results. I’ve been getting a bunch of testimony.

By the way of about people having to build links to their dry stacks and then the drive stacks just going crazy. Yeah once they get some the link building done so yes have added the same thing with the ad ID page. I’ve done some testing with that and just and that’s what I loved about it. It’s one of the easiest methods because all you gotta do is go submit link building gig order to you know, I wouldn’t say to just anybody but Daddy has got it down to a science and just taking like the ad ID the iframe loop stuff that we’ve talked about and again our paid courses and almost all of them it’s available that that just works really well and again, that’s just what that magic of I frames and when you combine that with Dr. stacks or even dr stacks alone, but that’s part of it because of you know, iframe in that gets done in the site, everything else so it’s just incredibly powerful. And just hitting those that’s the beautiful thing about it guys is you know, the daddy has link building pack service which is in MYB, right? They’re still spam links, but he’s good at what he does. He’s a pro, he’s a professional, there’s no doubt and because of that, he knows how to make it really effective. And then when you use something like Google assets as the target or Amazon domain as the primary target, then it can take that kind of abuse like you can hammer away at it, and it can take it and filter it like a champ. In fact, it just kind of powers it up. Now, it’s not something that I would ever direct to the money site, but you can do you know what I mean, but you can do it two very powerful tier one assets, which is why we developed the way that we do so that’s why we don’t even use VPN, who needs a pbn? When we can use Google and Amazon assets to create the same effect and then you spam links as opposed to and I call them spam and everybody who want to do spam. But guys, I mean, that’s what link building tools do they create spam links, you can call them whatever you want. That’s really what they are. Right and so pbn links are technically spammed links to you might be buying links from you know, a domain that has good metrics, but unless it’s super well themed and all that they’re typically spam links anyways, you know what I mean? So it’s just it’s about how you use them and what you point them at. And so we recommend doing it the way that you know, at least our method we use our method for specifically for a reason. It’s efficient, and it works well. Right.

All right old school, like daddy says, will it be set up like this tomorrow? Hernan? What’s tomorrow?

Hernan: The webinar? webinar or mastermind? Yeah, now it’s gonna be on a mastermind. Yeah. It’ll be in the regular mastermind.

Bradley: Jim, think that’s when? Yeah, just the regular master the live mastermind webinar page, just like we’ve always been doing over there. I we haven’t had any problems with that over there. Now it’s in the bond site. Yeah, right. The membership site, right.

So as far as I know, we’ve never had any problems not one complaint with it over there. We had a problem with the Disqus chat app. on these pages for some reason I think it’s a Click Funnels issue like it just didn’t jive well but on the traditional mastermind webinars inside the membership site we haven’t ever had a complaint on that so if I’m wrong and you guys got some complaints about it to make them known to make them known over there in the Facebook group not here.

How Would You Strategize Sending Out An Email Campaign For Over A Year?

I blue panda whoever that is, is hey guys hope this Jeff Oh, what the hell? That’s the same as what we had before. Maybe not okay. Hey, guys hope this chat function works better than this. That piece of shit Facebook jet cheese. Yeah. Or Geez, you’re right. That was terrible. Okay, onto my question. I have a list for my niche that is big enough to send 1000 emails per day for over a year. Wow. This is simply a law of big numbers campaign for my client. These will be a one time blast. Either they respond or they don’t and the next class goes out the next day what would be the best way to approach a list of this size style of sending? I don’t know I’ve never spammed at that level before. Spam demon.

And that’s exactly what you’re doing. So the best person to answer that question is unfortunately not here. That’s Chris, our partner, Chris, he, he’s been doing that kind of work for four years. He can give you the best advice on that. But he’s not here. I’m sorry, he’s traveling. Yeah, the only thing I would know to say is that make sure that you have plenty of sending from domain email account. So in other words, making sure that you’ve got several many, many, many different email account setup, you know, that you can send from because you’re probably going to burn every single account that you send from like, almost every day.

I don’t know for sure, because it depends on how clean your list is. But typically, when you’re sending out mass emails like that, from a particular account, especially 1000 per day, you have to have accounts that have developed some sort of reputation for or else when you go to hit send on 1000 emails from an account that’s not really seasoned. It will you know, the is the internet search or email service providers will throttle those accounts and not the inbox. You know a bunch of them and also with people will start hitting the spam button which it’s likely if they were unsolicited emails, you will get a lot of people hitting the spam button, it will flag that particular domain account for or domain email excuse me for spam and so it will like they’ll just stop unboxing her nine you were going to comment? Yeah, yeah,

I agree with you. What I was about to say is that if you want to, you know, reach out to Chris just post in the Facebook group and maybe take him I don’t know if blue pen is on the mastermind group. Yeah, if you’re in the mastermind, we could get to it. You know, Chris will give you a lot of help out there. Otherwise, you could try it in the free Facebook group and I don’t know how much he’ll reveal about something like that there. But yeah, that’s the only problem like guys I talked about this a few weeks ago, but you know, I got I’ve unsubscribed from just about every single marketing list that I’m I’ve ever been on.

Over the last several months, because I decided to get really focused and you know, buying shiny objects and getting pitched new training, you know, methods and stuff like that all the time was really, and I, you know, there’s they’re kind of happens in cycles. I know a lot of you guys we’ve I’ve talked with a lot of our mastermind members over the last several months I do calls now with, you know, one on one calls with mastermind members, as a new member, you get a one on one call with one of us. And then every quarter or so I try to open up the ability to have another 30 minute call with me so I can kind of help you know, find out more about people in our mastermind and what struggles are going through and offer some guidance and and and, you know, 90 days to six months and three to six months, I have another call with them, find out if they made any progress, and they’re going to have new issues at that point. So one of the things that I’ve heard a lot through those calls without calling anybody out is that, you know, constantly being bombarded with different opportunities. And that’s because we’re all marketers, right? And so we’ve gone out and been signed up for whatever ours, which puts us on email list or we bought products, which puts us on email lists. And the next thing you know, we get hammered and you guys can all relate I’m sure you get hammered and hammered and hammered all the time with solicitation offers for training or for software or tools or services and all that kind of stuff. And you know,

I found that although they may be interesting and sometimes entertaining to go like watch webinars or to go check out the new sales page of the new tool that or software or WordPress plugin or whatever the hell it is, that typically just distracts from making any progress a real progress in my business and you know, over the years I’ve gone up and down with that, you know, sometimes a more susceptible to that other times I’m not but over the last many months now I really just started to unsubscribe from you know, ton of people’s emails. The reason I started saying that was because my oldest email account that is the account that I use, it’s a Yahoo account, Yahoo mail account, that’s the one that I used to always sign up for stuff like I don’t use my main Gmail accounts for for to sign up for lists or two webinars and things like that, because I knew that I get on a spam list, right and people would start spamming me. I’m still getting a ton of spam over there. But I’ve never voluntarily or I very, very rarely voluntarily used one of those primary Gmail type email addresses for signing up for that stuff. But I had a Yahoo mail account that was just getting spammed to death. And so over the last several months, I have really, really gotten a much better handle on that too. Because what I’ve done is I’ve gone every time I get an email now I just daily maintenance Now, every single day, I go through my Yahoo account probably two maybe three times a day. And if there’s an email that came is comes to me that I was unsolicited, which is you know, it’s they don’t come nearly as often as they used to now, I open up the email, I scroll right to the bottom finance subscribe button, I click it and make sure you know in the page reloads that it’s that in the net new tab that I’ve unsubscribed. Then I close that tab and I go back in and I click the spam button and Yahoo

And I do that every single day. And, you know, I used to get literally dozens, sometimes hundreds of emails per day, as many of you guys can probably relate. And now I swear to God, this is no bullshit over the last, probably five to six weeks now, I might get two or three emails per day and some days I don’t get any spam or unsolicited emails anymore. And that’s because I’ve gotten into the habit of doing that. So now it’s much more manageable like that, that email counts almost like a clean account. Now I do still get occasional as I said, Sometimes I’ll get one. Sometimes I get two or even three spam emails where it’s another internet marketer that bought my name off the list somewhere and sends me some bullshit email about the newest WordPress plugin. But I open up the email, I go straight to the unsubscribe button, unsubscribe and then come back and hit the spam button. And so it’s really really reduced that now the reason I said that was because if you start emailing people with unsolicited emails, you’re likely going to have many of them going to hit that spam button and that’s going to tank your deliverability, just like that. So if you’re going to be doing that sort of a strategy, you’re going to need a ton of email accounts ready, essentially one per day and even that, I don’t know that I’d send 1000 per day from one account. I probably split that up across multiple accounts. Okay.

Can You Still A GSite And Empower A Client’s Money Site If You Don’t Have Access To Their Email Account?

Anyways, it says when working with clients and you don’t have access to their email account, can you create a G site for them embed their properties and deliver the power to the money site URL? Well, yeah, I would never ask for access to my clients Google accounts ever never do I asked for that. So that’s how we do it right? We create and fits if it’s the same fits as I know that we used to be in our mastermind you should know that. And it might not be but ya know, like, for example, we just we create for clients created or even if for you guys that buy stuff from us, we’re going to go create a Google account.

To create your assets, the same thing with my clients, I go create a Google account, right or if they’re on G sweet, which some of them are, but most of them aren’t, then I have them add, you know, create an email or user account for me. And then I will end up, you know, giving me they, and then I asked them to give me permissions for to access the other accounts, like our Google Apps essentially within that account, right? That makes sense. And guys, you know, send a screencast video tutorial video to your users. So for example, I don’t ever ask for Google account access, but I do ask for to be added as a Google My Business Manager to their GMB for example. Right. So how do you do that? Well, unless you ask for their login details and go do it set, you know, add yourself as a manager, you know, add yourself as a manager, you got to ask them to do it. So if they don’t know how to do it, you got to provide them with instructions. The easiest way to do that, in my opinion, is to just do a quick tutorial video and show them hey, show him another GMB account. say look, login go to business google. com

Left-hand sidebar, you’re going to go click users, this little box is going to show you’re going to see a little plus icon at the top, click that to add new user at my email address from the drop-down, select, you know, manager, not site or not owner, just add me as a manager and then click you know, invite or send or whatever the button says, and I’ll get an invitation and then I’ll go be able to access you can do the same thing, if they have, you know, if you wanted it to be hosted on their main Google account, like a G site, which is unnecessary. But if you wanted to, you could give them instructions on a go into sites, google.com and add me as a user or manager, whatever, give me permission to be able to access that app within your Google account. However, it doesn’t matter because you can create the new account, build everything under the new account and then add your client Gmail account as a manager and then transfer ownership if you needed to. But again, it’s really unnecessary. It doesn’t matter who the Google account is. You can push the power the SEO juice anywhere you want. Okay.

Facebook Embed Post

Facebook also gives you an embed code for each post. Really? Yeah, it does. You so you can embed a Facebook post? Yes, that is correct. When did that start? Yeah,

it’s always been there. Yeah, it’s been rough. But Jay get. So if you get if you create, like, for instance, if you create, I don’t know, post with a link or a post with an image bubble, blah, then you can embed that somewhere. So it has to, it has to be on in your timeline. Or it has to be like, like on an open page. It can be like, if it’s a closed group, you can’t do anything with it. If if it’s a member, whatever it if it’s hidden or secret or Harvard. I don’t know too much about Facebook. I’m just there answering questions. Yeah, but if it’s open, right, and if it’s public, yes, Google will not Google Facebook will give you an embed code for that post or for whatever it

Is that you’re doing an image or video. But in those at one post though, right, correct, I don’t I think that you’re right that there’s an X breaker if you try to embed the like the entire face. Yeah. Yeah. And it has to come from a, from a Facebook page, if that makes sense. Not from a profile. You know, even if the profile is public, there’s a lot of, you know, stuff going on with privacy and whatnot. So it needs to come from a Facebook page, which is what your clients are going to be using anyway. Right. So um, so yeah, but that’s, that’s another caveat that you want to have in mind. Yeah, well, I mean, okay, so that may mean that that’s cool. And all but you know, unless you’re going to go in and update the iframe, or the embed code on a regular basis on your sites. I don’t see how I mean, obviously, if you’ve got I guess one post that you specifically trying to power up then yeah, and you could embed it and then hammer and you know, the G site or wherever you’ve got an embedded with links or something like that, but you know, typically I like to set up the iframe that is going to update dynamically. So I publish content and it’s on an automatically be in the iframe that I’m trying to power up. Do you know what I mean? So that’s cool. I didn’t, I wasn’t aware that you could embed individual posts, but say, that’s cool. I just learned something. Yep. Very cool. Yep.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords

Okay, so Gordon’s up again, it says, Thanks a lot for your previous answer. You’re welcome. He says, which brought up this question and used to be okay to use duplicate content for different sites targeting and local niche in different cities, just changing the location info one site for each city. But is that still true? I’ve never done that. Gordon. Honestly, I’ve always advocated for using unique content for all those and that’s specifically because, at some point, it could be, you know, toxic, it could you could end up catching a penalty because it is all duplicate content and duplicate content, guys, it’s supposed to be on the same domain, I get that, but on the same subdomains, you know, I don’t I don’t like that because it’s not as effective.

So what I’ve always always always suggested Yes, it has worked, you can just swap out location information. So like essentially the city modifier within the content. But it’s inexpensive to have a piece of content written and then have it rewritten, it’s a lot less expensive to have it rewritten than to have original content written for each, which by the way, when you go to a content farm, none of its original, all they’re doing is rewriting other content that they’ve scraped from the web, just so you’re aware of that, guys, when you go buy an article from a content farm. It is a rewritten article from something else on the web that they scraped, that’s it, there’s nobody there is actually writing an original article. all they’re doing is going easy and articles or somewhere else scraping an article and then rewriting it and usually it’s rewritten very poorly, by the way, but what I’m saying is you can go out and order an article, habit, you know, Britain for whatever, let’s say it’s 1000 word article, and it cost you 40 bucks. And then you have article rewrites. So let’s say you got six locations six subdomains where you got the URL

So that you paid 40 bucks for that, but then you order five rewrites, it might cost you $8 per rewrite. And now you’ve got six, original, unique, let’s just I’m using air quotes, but six or unique articles that are going to be more effective, in my opinion, long term, then having the same piece of content used across multiple sites where the only thing you change this is the location modifier. So that’s how I’ve done that, guys. I’ve got lead gen assets out there with subdomains with 20 subdomains, and they each have their own unique content. You know, and that’s specifically for that reason.

You know, again, it’s your call, I’ve always wanted to build long term assets that will rank and produce revenue for me for years, and I’ve got many of them. And so, you know, again, it’s all I always think about, it might be a little bit more expensive, a little bit more hassle on the front end. But what’s more of a hassle having assets that stopped producing or start performing poorly, because of you took shortcut cuts on the front end. You know if they’re producing revenue for you and again guys I don’t know if it works or not because I just don’t do it. I don’t know if it still works or not but other people may be able to comment and say oh it works fine that’s fine if you want to build your business that way do it you know, there’s it’s up to you. So I don’t recommend it though. Honestly, I try to do the work up front so that it will produce for me for the long term and I don’t have to continually worry about that shit.

Do you remember that when they first came out with pandas and penguins? What that what Google was asking for rich unique relevant content that’s updated on a regular basis how often they repeated that that was when the doofus what’s his name was still with with with the spam team gotten Matt Cutts right. When that was so that this is they kept asking them they didn’t they keep doing it over and over fresh, unique relevant content updated on a regular basis. But the telling you that for a reason the bot feeds of content

Now I know that people have done tests when and where, you know, they’ve used Latin. And it ranked, but there were still keywords interspersed with that Latin garbage that made it rank and that’s what the bite is feeding off. It’s feeding off that information that you’re giving it. And if you just keep pushing the same information over and over, we have seen this, again, we always test guys is why we can give you the answers to these questions. We’ve seen it time and again and local GMB Pro, that if you use different posts, that if you do it regularly, whatever regularly means for your niche because niches a different each unique niche will react differently to the post frequency. But we know that if you use fresh, unique, relevant content, update on a regular basis, fresh images or you make Google think that they’re fresh images

Marco: don’t even have to be, it’s just all about feeding them but the information that the bot is coded to look for. It’s looking for these variables, right the keyword in the right places, and in the right amount and then information. And, and it’s also looking at how a real person interacts with that content that you’re displaying. And whether that person finishes, whatever action they set out to do. All of this is part of it. Now, if you give people the same information over and over and over again until you change this is a little bit eventually that gets stale, and the bodies will be able to tell how people react to that. And the one thing you’d never want to do is you never want to send us a negative signal. We always concentrate on feeding them but the positive signals that’s going to get us positive actions and reactions going to get us better placement.

going to give us knowledge panel displays is going to get us calls. And it’s going to get us web site visits, and whatever else, right, whatever else that we’re looking for. But it all starts with your content. And yes, you can feed garbage. But eventually, what will happen is it’ll get the index just like it happened with that test website that was done. But that one was just to show what you could do with the content place in in in the right areas. And in the right amount. Guys, don’t trick yourself into thinking I’m going to take the easy way out and just change the location. Give people a reason to think about it. Think like the end user, right? If I’m going in there, and I’m looking to have my problem solved, and I keep seeing the same garbage over and over. I don’t want to deal with that. I want someone that that’s talking to me as the end user, and someone who’s going to help me solve my problem, become problem solvers and you’re going to go a long way towards really developing your content in a way that people are really going to enjoy interacting with, and in the long run is going to make your whole lot more money than taking shortcuts. Yeah.

Bradley: All right. We’re going to wrap it up here in a minute. But if it says mastermind calls from Bradley are awesome, relevant, timely, and actionable period. Thanks fits. Appreciate that. Yeah, I’ve enjoyed those calls. I had a couple of this week already. So again, I appreciate that. And then lastly, Gordon had posted one more question. That’s fine, Gordon, we appreciate that. He says, since relied on questions, I’ll ask something else. And this is a good question.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords?

He says when creating local Legion pages, is it better or easier to create a different page for each keyword or to try to rank a single location page for a bunch of different keywords? Yeah, so that’s a great question. Because several years ago, that was the method was to it was and that was the industry, right? The traditional knowledge, right was to go out and create. Each page would be optimized for a singular keyword. Right. That was really how silo structure was started.

be taught was, you go out and you create a silo and then you collect the supporting keywords for that silo and then you start creating posts within the silo that each post is optimized for one keyword. And that can still be applied today. But the thing is, though, you’re better off. So let me back up for a minute like with a complex silo, guys, there are categories and subcategories, right? And so what I’m saying is it used to be it was taught for a while the best practices was was to create your top-level keyword would be the top-level page, your top level category. And then for your next tier down of keywords, right, you’re supporting keywords, you would create a subcategory for each of those keywords. Right, so that’s a child page. And then at your post level, you would go out and take longer tail versions of your second tier keywords and you would create individual posts for each one of those that would link up to your sub-category pages, right. And so that was very granular It was like Uber optimized content. But after panda three or four I don’t even remember which one it was but it was sometime around 2014 timeframe we started noticing that that was less effective and now and that’s because guys the algorithm has gotten so much better and understanding natural language right it with AI and rank brain and all of that it understands content and its totality now a lot better than it used to, right it’s Google’s gotten incredibly advanced in that respect. And so now you can actually have longer form content that targets many semantically related keywords that’s the key right? So instead of going out and creating multiple pages, which is kind of a bitch anyway, and it’s it’s really makes as Marco was just talking about, it makes for a shitty user experience to if you go to a site and you have to click to another page to learn more about a very similar keyword anyways or product or service. So it just becomes repetition over and over and over again. And that’s less effective. So you’re better off creating a long-form piece of content, as it as a page that has a lot of your relevant similarly related keywords within that page, you can even have somewhat broader topics combined on the same page. So provided that they’re segregated by correct segments, or headings, and other words, sections within the page. So you know, and I’ve experimented with even ranking one page websites guys for, you know, multiple types of keywords like that wouldn’t even be in the same silo. But because of the way that you organize the content on the page, you can still rank for that. Here’s another example, using like Table of Contents or navigation links with hot links that go to those sections on the page. So that’s a good way to kind of set to analyze the content within a page to where you can only you can have one page that can rank for multiple keywords or themes that make sense. So to answer your question.

I wouldn’t go with optimizing for singular keywords. No, don’t get me wrong if you’re if you’re doing short blog posts, for example, I target, you know, with GMB posts a lot singular keywords, I mean, we still I still sprinkling variations of that single keyword, but there’s one primary keyword typically for me, for GMB posts. So you can still do that. But for your pages on your site, right, I’m talking about posts doing that. But for your pages on your site, which are typically what you’re trying to rank, you’re using posts to support the page, right? So for pages, I would recommend going with longer form content instead. That’s why I don’t usually recommend using complex silos anymore because you can accomplish it with simple silos, which is just categories and page, top-level categories and pages and then post supporting posts. Because complex structures are exactly what their name implies. They’re complex. They’re hard to manage. It’s hard to map out in the beginning, and it’s, it’s honestly, I think it’s overkill for most stuff, especially for local it’s overkill for most local things. All right.

Okay five o'clock I’ve got to go but I am going to read this comment real quick Jim says FYI everyone I placed an order for keyword research it was actually too good with too many keywords but they do break it down and suggest which keywords you should target which ones are good for silo and for supporting keywords. Don’t hesitate to order you won’t regret the quality time saved that it takes the guesswork out of it. shipped Marco trains them. Hello. Thanks, Jim. Jim. So, Alright guys, everybody. We appreciate you being here. I’m kind of digging this app even though it looks old school. It’s kind of cool. what you guys think. I like it. I mean, it works. Yeah. Works. Nobody’s complaining about getting locked out of any account so far. So we’ll see. All right, everybody. We’ll see you guys tomorrow on the mastermind and everyone else next week. Thanks for being here, man. Later see

So those are the announcements I think I nailed it. I might have something I’m going to paste Now I need to copy and paste some stuff on the thing so so yeah, there was we got I guess,

Bradley: Let me tease what you’re doing tomorrow or non so that you don’t have to toot your own horn. We got, we’ve been doing kind of a series in the mastermind. We’re probably going to end up launching a product around it anyways, but it’s Pay Per Click marketing for local and how to get results. We had a course that I produced about two, maybe two and a half years ago now called Local Kingpin. And it was specifically for using Google AdWords obviously, it’s now Google ads, but formerly Google AdWords for setting up lead gen assets and dry and using, you know, producing leads for local businesses, either on a client basis or even on a lead gen basis where you’re selling leads. And that worked really well. But the Google Ads dash dashboard, the whole platform has evolved a lot in the last two and a half years, considerably. And, you know, Google Ads themselves for search ads, excuse me, so search ads are rather expensive, you can still be profitable with that. There’s no question but it’s fucking expensive. So I’ve actually gotten away from using search ads and get more into using display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing obviously, and it works really well because the display ads are the display ad platform is so much better than it used to be. And you know, years ago when I had developed the local kingpin training

It was in that method that I was using display ads. Suck it, they might have worked, but it sucked setting them up because you had to go out in the order or design your own banner ads and you had designed them and all the various sizes that you wanted to display them in. So the leaderboard, and you know, this 350 by 250 rectangles, you know, all these different sizes. And so it was a pain in the ass, I would hire a graphic designer to develop a set of banner ads, and that would be one set of banner ads, and it might cost me 50 or 60 bucks. If you wanted to split test, you’d have to pay for another set of ads, right. And so it was just it was you’d have to wait for you know, several days to get them back from the designer. And it’s a real pain in the ass. And so it wasn’t very efficient. And it wasn’t very effective unless you really split test a lot and then found a winning combination of ads. But now what you can do on the Display Network when you’re setting up display ads is you actually just import photos, it photos and images and let your logo as well and

It’s a square version and rectangular version for each. And then you get to add up to five short headlines, one long headline and then up to five descriptions. So and there’s, you know, character limits for each. But then what Google does is Google will create responsive display ads out of just the images that you upload it to just regular photos will work or graphics, either one and then will automatically start rotating through your various headlines and descriptions to find out which gets the highest click through as an engagement. And then it will start to auto-optimize the campaign and start serving the ads that are the combinations that performed the best more and more often. And so it’s so much easier to set up a campaign now. And although obviously, display ads don’t convert nearly as well as like search ads do, it’s a fraction of the cost guys, and with the audience targeting that Google Display Network has now or Google has period. They have what they call in market audiences and life event audiences and you can even create custom intent audiences.

is now based on keywords which are really cool. I just started playing with that actually. And so if you go and find the you know in the in the in the in-market audience targeting settings if you can go in and find an end market audience for the businesses that you’re generating leads for then those tend to be very good and like for me for contractors typically a the average cost per click runs between anywhere between about 85 cents to $1 50. So somewhere in that range depending on what type of contractor it is that I’m generating leads for. And so that’s a fraction of the cost it just for it’s just quickly for some perspective here, for roofing leads, for example, it could in some of the areas that I do SEO work and generate leads for roofers of roofing. A click for search ads for roofing type keywords can cost 35 to $40 per click. And you know, typically an average conversion rate is somewhere anywhere between 32

40% right, so you’re talking about three clicks to get one lead at $35 per click, that’s $105 per lead. That, to me is incredibly expensive. But with those, if you can there in the market audience targeting, you can actually see that there are a roofing odd Roofing Services in the market audience, and you can use that for display ads. And maybe this says you pay $1 per click will just use a nice round number. And it might be a 10% conversion rate as opposed to 30 or even a 5% conversion rate, which means you need 20 clicks to get one lead, but 20 clicks at $1 to get one lead guy think about that as 20 bucks per lead as opposed to 100 bucks per lead when you’re using search ads. So keep that in mind and that’s for cold traffic. But also for remarketing purposes. Like honestly, if you’re not using remarketing in you’re doing Client Services, you’re nuts because it’s just an inexpensive way to get additional traffic back to

The site and even if that traffic doesn’t convert a lot, a lot of it will, but doesn’t convert into leads. It’s a great branding tool to help that business to gain brand recognition so that people will think of them and go search for their brand name when it’s time for them to need their product or service because they’re constantly reminded of that business. So, long story short,

we’re going to work we’ve been doing a series of training inside the mastermind about using Google ads for Local Lead Generation, not search ads, but display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing ads. And tomorrow Hernan being the Facebook marketing expert that he is, he’s coming into the mastermind to do a full training on how to use Facebook ads for Local Lead Generation. And then we’re actually going to probably be packaging all that up over the next 60 to 90 days at some point and then launching that as a separate product as kind of an update to local kingpin, but we’re going to rebrand it because it’s really going to be a whole new course. Did you guys lose me?

Hernan: No

Bradley: I got a frozen screen. Okay, yeah, there you go. Okay, so anyways, just kind of wanted to teach you guys a little bit on what’s going on in the mastermind tomorrow. Those of you that are the mastermind a lot there’s been a discussion thread by the way or not, did you see the discussion thread in the Facebook group, but are saying that we’re going to rope you into actually contributing more than just the mastermind because they want a full soup to nuts type train. Yeah. So yeah, well, yeah, if there’s a need for it,  you know, the mastermind has the privilege that you know, if you guys there’s a real need about, you know, a specific type of training that you guys want to go after, then we can make a series there’s no problem about that. We’re all about, you know, serving our members as much as we possibly can. So that if that, you know, we have a good response tomorrow, that’s potentially going to happen, at least initially within the mastermind, and then we’ll go from there. But yeah, my idea is to cover as much terrain as possible tomorrow specifically, and then if we need to do another iteration of the, of the training or you know, walk you guys through a couple of case studies. So for instance, I was going through one of the clients that I manage, and we, so he’s a chiropractor. He’s a local chiropractor, and he has four clinics in Dallas. And over the past, I would say over the past six months, we have spent around $160,000 in advertising, and we have generated almost 4000 confirm appointments to those four offices. Now that is rough. So he is charging $49 per appointment, right? It’s an intra massage offer. So he’s charging $49 per appointment. We’re getting him we’re getting those appointments for around 39 to $40. So he’s, you know, making money on the front end, but that’s not even the best thing. The best thing is that each customer forth to him on average $300 you know because they show up to his office and they buy a bunch of stuff and they buy additional massages and they buy so that’s

Average and that’s on the low side. So there’s, there’s effectively we have been moving the needle real hard. He’s super happy Of course because he’s growing. He’s expanding locations and whatnot, and some of the stuff that we were able to implement for him. We will be talking about tomorrow on the mastermind, so it’s going to be pretty cool. Yeah, awesome. Yeah. Alright, so the last thing we’re going to tease before we get into questions, which we were kind of just hoping that more questions would fill in this chat box anyways, uh, we’ve got video lead gen system

to Dotto really is launching next week, next Tuesday. As a matter of fact, we’re going to talk about it well, the first part of next week’s webinar, Hump Day hangouts is going to be where we’re going to, you know, kind of get into some detail about what it’s about and all that because I completely updated it so that still the old training is there, the old method, which I did for years, but over the last several months, I’ve been really redeveloping that method to make it more streamlined and efficient, something that a lot of it can be outsourced, but also just to make it to where, even if you were doing this yourself like, you know, managing the all of the video lead gen or video email campaigns on your own, I don’t recommend that. But if a lot of people still going to do it on their own anyway, it’s a lot more efficient now to where what used to take roughly 20 to 30 minutes per video email to send out. Now what will take you just two to three minutes No kidding, there’s there will be a setup period on the front end where you can’t get into the method here, there’ll be a setup period where it might take you an hour to get everything set up. But then from there for every prospect you want to mail to, it’s literally two to three minutes. And that’s it. And so it’s a hell of a lot more efficient. And I’ve tested a lot of different follow-up methods from that as well to once you are notified of engagement and I talked about all of this in the training and found several different methods that work really well to the kind of get the conversation going and stuff and so I go into great detail. It’s basically a whole new course but you’re still going to get the original version, as well as the Everything’s under

The same membership site now. So there’s the original version, which still works, but it’s a bit more time-consuming. And then there’s the newer version that can be applied to pretty much any sort of marketing service I use specifically one, were really two types of methods for monetizing it. In the examples and in the training, I talked about how to use it for monetizing lead gen assets. And then I also talked about for client services, if you’re just doing outreach for clients instead of lead generation service providers. Then, you know, there’s a method I talked about specifically optimizing GMB stuff, but it can be modified or an applied to pretty much any sort of service that you offer. So if you’re a digital marketer does Facebook ads like her non for example, you could still use the video lead gen system, you just obviously are going to talk about how you can get results with Facebook as opposed to how you can get results with Google My Business. So any of you guys one of the things that we do is we surveyed you guys on a consistent basis to find out what what-what our audience needs, and something that comes up all the time is client getting right? securing clients and that kind of stuff. And so that’s really what this was all about. It’s so that you guys can go out and least get the conversation started. It’s not sales training. I’m not real good at sales unless I got a referral, like been referral but as far as getting the conversation going for prospecting, it’s an outstanding way to do it’s very unique, you’ll get a lot of responses that way. And then it’s really going to be up to you to present your offer in such a way that you close the client, you know what I mean? Or the prospect at that point. So anyways, be on the lookout for that guys. Next week, we’re going to do like we typically have done in the past, which is a limited offer on the front end for 24 hours and then the price will go up. And that’s typically how we do that. So be on the lookout for that next week.

Okay, anything else? I think we’re good.

Alright, cool. Let’s get into questions. Alright, so with our 1989 looking chat box, which kind of cool though. Let’s get into it will start at the top

What Are Your Thoughts On Keyword Research Ninja?

KT says what are your thoughts on keyword research ninja? I have no thoughts on it whatsoever I’ve never used it I really don’t use any keyword research tools anymore other than Power Suggest Pro, Google AdWords you know, the Google Ads keyword planner for because I still do PPC stuff. And then we have our own in-house keyword research product that is like anytime you need keywords, that’s, you know, our go-to source now is MGYB? We have the keyword research done over there because it takes hours to compile a good list of keywords. Really, you can spend hours doing that and organizing the keywords into silos and you know, proper themes and that kind of stuff. And that’s what our, you know, our product on keyword research is specifically it’s you know, our assistant or employee that does all of that have access to multiple tools, SEM Rush, Power Suggest Pro, you know, all different kinds of tools that she uses to actually develop these reports and puts them into silos and all that kind of stuff. So different type of intent keywords, commercial intent, informational queries, that kind of stuff. So it just makes it super easy. So honestly, I can’t give you an opinion on any of those keyword tools because I just don’t use them. It just requires too much time in my opinion. And I’d rather outsource that or use a simple tool when I’m going to do it myself such as Power Suggest Pro. Marco or anybody else wants to comment on any of those.

Marco: I agree that that’s all I use. I use our keyword research. I mean, I taught them how to do it for a reason it’s based on the way that you do it. And the way that I do it, which is Google Trends and power suggest Pro with Google ads, right the Keyword Planner Tool, and but the basis is right there. Then we go into everything else and we drill down as much as we can get as much information as possible go to Answer the Public. We just use just a ton of different tools that we can get all of the keywords. I mean, you get thousands sometimes I see our report come back, and it’s 7, 8, 9 thousand keywords strong. And I’m thinking, this is like the best way to take down a market. Let me if you really need to start and understand your market and the words involved in your market. There’s nothing better. I mean, I don’t know I can’t speak on keyword research Ninja, it might be fabulous. But I can’t say anything other than the way that we have it set up works perfectly well for what we do. Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah. And again, it’s the amount of time that goes into that, you know, I got away from doing it myself because it just takes too much time. Especially to Oregon. Like it’s easy to spit out a bunch of keywords with a tool but to organize them in proper themes, you know, and basically silos and that kind of stuff and intent type people words like that’s yet I mean, as far as I know, that’s manual. I don’t know tools that actually do that maybe keyword research and into does that. I don’t know, I don’t even look at tools like that anymore. So, unfortunately, I can’t give you a good answer to that.

Does Using Subdomains Produce Better SEO Juice Than Using Pages For Multi-City Local Lead Gen Site?

Gordon’s up he says thank you very much again for the help you provide on hump days. You’re welcome. He says he when setting up a multi-city local lead gen site you have advised in the past few subdomains of the main domain for each city instead of using a page under the main domain. When using pages, I know that the SEO juice can be spread among all the city pages, but when using subdomains is the SEO just spread among all the subdomains to help each other one rank met each one rank better, or does each subdomain stand on its own for SEO purposes? Well, it’s a little of both Gordon because, again, a subdomain is treated as a separate entity by Google right. But there is the parent domain being the root domain. So you can the way I always looked at it was subdomains and other subdomains of the same root domain are called siblings, sibling domains, right and the parent domain being the root.

And so what happens is each one of the subdomains or sibling domains are their own standalone sites, which is good for protection purposes. And that’s what we’ve talked about. That’s the reason why I’ve always done that. Now, it’s funny because I really don’t do anything spammy anymore, at least not to the actual money sites. So I can probably get away with just doing the inner pages, but it’s still allowed. You’re still a, you know, and that it doesn’t mean that what we do right now, doesn’t couldn’t be considered spammy tomorrow, because we don’t work for Google. Right. And so even though I’ve never really had, at least for several years now, I haven’t had any issues with getting sites deindexed or penalize. I’ve always kept using subdomains specifically to minimize risk, right to reduce exposure, so to speak. Because as I’ve said before, if you put all of your location pages on the root, so their inner pages, right, and if you catch a penalty against any one of those pages, it could pull the whole site down and all of your other location pages.

Although again, as I said, the methods that we teach, haven’t knock on wood, they haven’t created any penalties that I’m aware of, for any of my own stuff, as well as any of our students, okay, that I’m aware of. And so you could probably get away with doing it on inner pages for management purposes, that would be much easier for there’s no doubt because you’d all you’d have just one site to manage. That said, though, just keep in mind that that’s putting all of your eggs in one basket. So if Google decides to take that basket, or destroy one of the eggs in that basket, it could very well hurt all the others as well. So back to the original question, a subdomain is kind of a standalone site in that if a subdomain was to catch a penalty, for some reason or another, it would only affect that subdomain, the route would be left intact would remain healthy and all of the other sibling domains or subdomains would also remain healthy, untouched, essentially, from that penalty that’s been levied against that one subdomain. So it’s isolates any potential penalty problems. However, if you were to catch a penalty against the root domain, it would automatically apply to all of the child domains or subdomains. Does that make sense? So that’s why we all I’ve done that in the past was to always protect the root against all odds, right? Protect the root. And then if I was going to do anything spammy, it would be on a subdomain level. And that was specifically for that reason.

However, what you can do is in this is something I’ve actually been testing recently, but I don’t have enough time passed to see in fact, I just talked about this on the last mastermind webinar, so 13 days ago, actually, about how to use subdomains and the root domain in conjunction to kind of power it up. And I can’t give away the the the method here because it can’t do that because it’s kind of an extension of something that we teach in our paid courses. But there is a way to still use somebody domains and use the root domain to kind of help power up the subdomains, with inner pages without doing anything that could catch it catch up a penalty to your route. But again, you know, as far as does the subdomains benefit each other, yes, it may not be quite as a quick effect or, or might not be as effective as inner pages. But here’s the thing, every one of those subdomains are still attached to the root, right. So again, the root domain being the parent domain is going to benefit now, you guys know we don’t talk. We don’t care much about metrics. We stopped caring about proprietary third-party metrics several years ago, but let’s just use one as an example because a lot of you guys will understand it this way. Let’s just use domain authority Moz’s metric and page authority is an example okay?

When you have a domain authority that sitewide including subdomains, right, so for example, if you have a domain authority of 20 five on the root, then your subdomains, when you create a new subdomain, it won’t automatically be 25. I don’t think so. But it will become it will benefit from the domain authority of the parent domain. And so what I have found over the years now that I’ve been developing these multi-location sites using subdomains is that at first, when you start developing, like, let’s say you start off with two locations, so you’ve got the root domain, and then to subdomains at, you know, each subdomain being four different location. And then you add, so you start optimizing, you know, doing what you do to get results. And then you add a third location. Well, that third location tech, you know, typically, according to my experience, will, will often start to get results faster than the first two dead, because it’s actually benefiting from some of the authority that has been accrued or you know, accumulated from the previous two subdomains and the route altogether, right. So as a whole, it’s now that that new subdomain is actually benefiting from the authority that has accrued from the previous two and the route itself if that makes sense. So then you add a fourth subdomain and you know, fourth location, and a fifth and a six. And what happens is I start to see each new location that I add, tends to respond quicker get results faster than the previous one, because it’s actually benefiting from the authority of the, you know, cluster essentially, that’s it’s the root domain, as well as its additional its other siblings. So, again, if you’re doing just inner pages, you’ll probably be going to get a faster effect from that. But I found that you know, as you continue to build out additional subdomains, they helped to, they kind of benefit or receive benefit from all of the previous subdomains as well. So they’re at their birth point, right. The moment that you create that subdomain, it really already has some inherent authority because of it being a subdomain of a root domain that has built authority or crude authority if that makes sense.

So, anyway, I can’t get into any more further of that, honestly, because I will be giving away too much. Come join the mastermind and will tell you all about it. So, Marco, do you want to comment on that at all or Hernan?

Marco: Now, just to validate a little bit what you’re talking about on domains, we see that domain subdomain. We see that when we do drive stacks, and we add additional folders and files, right? The more you add the more power that as you say, a cruise and I call it power. I don’t give a shit about domain authority or trust flow. I don’t give a crap about any of that its power. And so the more that you do have whatever it is that you’re doing inside the drive stack, the more power that you pushing through, and the more power that ends up wherever it is that you got that drives tech game. That’s why they work so well. Yeah. And so the more work that you do inside, the more keywords that you target, whether it’s keyword plus location or service, whatever it is that you’re doing.

You do more of it inside your drive stack. And before you know it, I mean, it’s just pushing tons of power wherever it is that you want to go. And we’ve seen people live from case studies that they even get an empty folder to rank before anything else rank. So it’s crazy the amount of power that you can do in this method, whether you’re doing it at the TL D and subdomain level or at the drive stack and G site level. Right?

Twitter Embed Code Not Displaying Properly In GSite

So if it says it says good day Semantic Mastery team thanks for this form to ask questions and get real answers. When optimizing the site, I framed Twitter the area stays blank with no message saying it won’t connect. Is that still okay? All right. I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But I know that if you just take a Twitter URL, tweet URL, a Twitter profile, URL, whatever and try to use an iframe create generator that it won’t show you have to go into Twitter developers and actually generate an embed code for it which you can do with like your timeline, tweets and stuff. So for example, you can take a Twitter profile and go to

The developers, I think it’s developers.twitter.com or something like that just do a Google search, you’ll see what I mean. And you can ask you, or even just go to Google and search, how do you create or embed a Twitter feed? And that’s what you would? Again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But if I was going to try, and I haven’t, so I haven’t tested it with G sites, guys, but you could probably it’s probably you’re using the wrong type of embed code. And that’s why it’s not displaying is what I’m saying. If you go generate the correct proper embed code from the Twitter developers site, or whatever, whatever it is, again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff, just like you can, you know, I recently I built Believe it or not, I built some PB ends recently because I was testing. I don’t use PB ends. Often guys, I very rarely use them. But I did build a few that I was testing and somebody product actually. And one of the things that they required was that you had made the site look, you know, very real. So one of the things that asked for was embedding a Twitter feed, so I had some persona profiles from some older since networks that I had built that had Twitter profiles with, you know, updates. And so I just had I had, that’s how I learned to go build this little embed code. And that’s a Twitter feed in bed, that you have to go to the developers console and sign into that account. And then you create it that way. And it gives you the specific embed code for that Twitter feed. So it’s probably that you’re using the wrong one. Now, I could be wrong guys. Because like said, I don’t do much of that stuff with Twitter at all. But I’m pretty sure if you’re trying to use just an iframe generator with a Twitter profile or something like that, it’s going to be blank, it’s going to not work.

Can You iFrame A Facebook Business Page?

Now, the next part of that question is, can you iframe in a Facebook business page? As far as I know, no, I Facebook has iframe breakers that won’t allow you to embed them anywhere using any sort of tool. If anybody has a different answer please speak up.

Hernan: I think you’re right Bradley on that on that and I haven’t personally tried to iframe Facebook but I know that you know, Facebook is kind of against that other than Facebook videos, you know that what you can allow and but you can embed that an iframe that but other than that, I wouldn’t know? Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah, I know. There are some like plugins and stuff that will allow you to embed a or you know, display a Facebook page. But it actually Yes, you have to connect it via API and all that kind of stuff like, so there are WordPress plugins that will do that. But as far as just an embed code from Facebook, I don’t think that’s possible. Once again, I don’t do much Facebook stuff. So I couldn’t tell you with all certainty, but I can I know that, like, if you try to just take a Facebook URL, and iframe it, it won’t it all, it will never display anywhere. I’ve never seen that ever work. So you have to use stuff that connects via API or authorize or what are they called Facebook apps or whatever. We actually create all that shit in order just to get even a Facebook page to show in like a widget area on a website.

Hernan: Um, so yeah, and they’re even more like they’re, they’re even more like restrictive with all of the privacy stuff that they’re going through. So that you may want to consider so.

Bradley: yeah, and then you try to iframe or when you try to embed a Facebook comments app you see what happens the previous couple on the Hangouts that and I get it I guess that’s because people can act that shit so right cool we’re going to keep moving. This chat is already thousand better than anything before devices that is cool thanks to Vaughn I’m glad you guys liked it for a bus the new battle call right revert I think that’s one of the guests says get repeatable oh that’s you that was you that’s maybe a farm setting up by a cat gotcha well mines Bradley hmm feisty forehead motherfucker in charge just in case you guys wondered what that was all about.

Do Semantic Mastery RYS Stacks Add More Value To An Existing Syndication Network & GMB Page?

Bradley: The humanoid says Marco I have an RYS Drive stack order pending and creating an RYS stack I have my syndication network complete in my see when creating a try so that I have my syndication network completed my GMB URL done. would it add more value when I have you build my RYS stacks. Thank you will thank you will

I know that was directed to Marco I’m gonna put my two cents in first before Marco answers. And if you already have your syndication network all your profile URLs to become target URLs as well. guys remember it’s just kind of about it’s just like internal linking right with your syndication network. It’s there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be powering up your tier one assets as well. So if you have all of that I would actually absolutely include those but Marco, that’s more question for you.

Marco: Yeah, I’m thinking that he wants to know if he should have the team, put them into the bill, by all means, that that’s your tier one branded, it should be included and then So when did he get the spreadsheet to hit with link building. That’s what’s going to get hit your tier one branded your GMB and everything that’s inside that drive stack. So yes, by all means, have at it, and you’re going to see some really good results. I’ve been getting a bunch of testimony.

By the way of about people having to build links to their dry stacks and then the drive stacks just going crazy. Yeah once they get some the link building done so yes have added the same thing with the ad ID page. I’ve done some testing with that and just and that’s what I loved about it. It’s one of the easiest methods because all you gotta do is go submit link building gig order to you know, I wouldn’t say to just anybody but Daddy has got it down to a science and just taking like the ad ID the iframe loop stuff that we’ve talked about and again our paid courses and almost all of them it’s available that that just works really well and again, that’s just what that magic of I frames and when you combine that with Dr. stacks or even dr stacks alone, but that’s part of it because of you know, iframe in that gets done in the site, everything else so it’s just incredibly powerful. And just hitting those that’s the beautiful thing about it guys is you know, the daddy has link building pack service which is in MYB, right? They’re still spam links, but he’s good at what he does. He’s a pro, he’s a professional, there’s no doubt and because of that, he knows how to make it really effective. And then when you use something like Google assets as the target or Amazon domain as the primary target, then it can take that kind of abuse like you can hammer away at it, and it can take it and filter it like a champ. In fact, it just kind of powers it up. Now, it’s not something that I would ever direct to the money site, but you can do you know what I mean, but you can do it two very powerful tier one assets, which is why we developed the way that we do so that’s why we don’t even use VPN, who needs a pbn? When we can use Google and Amazon assets to create the same effect and then you spam links as opposed to and I call them spam and everybody who want to do spam. But guys, I mean, that’s what link building tools do they create spam links, you can call them whatever you want. That’s really what they are. Right and so pbn links are technically spammed links to you might be buying links from you know, a domain that has good metrics, but unless it’s super well themed and all that they’re typically spam links anyways, you know what I mean? So it’s just it’s about how you use them and what you point them at. And so we recommend doing it the way that you know, at least our method we use our method for specifically for a reason. It’s efficient, and it works well. Right.

All right old school, like daddy says, will it be set up like this tomorrow? Hernan? What’s tomorrow?

Hernan: The webinar? webinar or mastermind? Yeah, now it’s gonna be on a mastermind. Yeah. It’ll be in the regular mastermind.

Bradley: Jim, think that’s when? Yeah, just the regular master the live mastermind webinar page, just like we’ve always been doing over there. I we haven’t had any problems with that over there. Now it’s in the bond site. Yeah, right. The membership site, right.

So as far as I know, we’ve never had any problems not one complaint with it over there. We had a problem with the Disqus chat app. on these pages for some reason I think it’s a Click Funnels issue like it just didn’t jive well but on the traditional mastermind webinars inside the membership site we haven’t ever had a complaint on that so if I’m wrong and you guys got some complaints about it to make them known to make them known over there in the Facebook group not here.

How Would You Strategize Sending Out An Email Campaign For Over A Year?

I blue panda whoever that is, is hey guys hope this Jeff Oh, what the hell? That’s the same as what we had before. Maybe not okay. Hey, guys hope this chat function works better than this. That piece of shit Facebook jet cheese. Yeah. Or Geez, you’re right. That was terrible. Okay, onto my question. I have a list for my niche that is big enough to send 1000 emails per day for over a year. Wow. This is simply a law of big numbers campaign for my client. These will be a one time blast. Either they respond or they don’t and the next class goes out the next day what would be the best way to approach a list of this size style of sending? I don’t know I’ve never spammed at that level before. Spam demon.

And that’s exactly what you’re doing. So the best person to answer that question is unfortunately not here. That’s Chris, our partner, Chris, he, he’s been doing that kind of work for four years. He can give you the best advice on that. But he’s not here. I’m sorry, he’s traveling. Yeah, the only thing I would know to say is that make sure that you have plenty of sending from domain email account. So in other words, making sure that you’ve got several many, many, many different email account setup, you know, that you can send from because you’re probably going to burn every single account that you send from like, almost every day.

I don’t know for sure, because it depends on how clean your list is. But typically, when you’re sending out mass emails like that, from a particular account, especially 1000 per day, you have to have accounts that have developed some sort of reputation for or else when you go to hit send on 1000 emails from an account that’s not really seasoned. It will you know, the is the internet search or email service providers will throttle those accounts and not the inbox. You know a bunch of them and also with people will start hitting the spam button which it’s likely if they were unsolicited emails, you will get a lot of people hitting the spam button, it will flag that particular domain account for or domain email excuse me for spam and so it will like they’ll just stop unboxing her nine you were going to comment? Yeah, yeah,

I agree with you. What I was about to say is that if you want to, you know, reach out to Chris just post in the Facebook group and maybe take him I don’t know if blue pen is on the mastermind group. Yeah, if you’re in the mastermind, we could get to it. You know, Chris will give you a lot of help out there. Otherwise, you could try it in the free Facebook group and I don’t know how much he’ll reveal about something like that there. But yeah, that’s the only problem like guys I talked about this a few weeks ago, but you know, I got I’ve unsubscribed from just about every single marketing list that I’m I’ve ever been on.

Over the last several months, because I decided to get really focused and you know, buying shiny objects and getting pitched new training, you know, methods and stuff like that all the time was really, and I, you know, there’s they’re kind of happens in cycles. I know a lot of you guys we’ve I’ve talked with a lot of our mastermind members over the last several months I do calls now with, you know, one on one calls with mastermind members, as a new member, you get a one on one call with one of us. And then every quarter or so I try to open up the ability to have another 30 minute call with me so I can kind of help you know, find out more about people in our mastermind and what struggles are going through and offer some guidance and and and, you know, 90 days to six months and three to six months, I have another call with them, find out if they made any progress, and they’re going to have new issues at that point. So one of the things that I’ve heard a lot through those calls without calling anybody out is that, you know, constantly being bombarded with different opportunities. And that’s because we’re all marketers, right? And so we’ve gone out and been signed up for whatever ours, which puts us on email list or we bought products, which puts us on email lists. And the next thing you know, we get hammered and you guys can all relate I’m sure you get hammered and hammered and hammered all the time with solicitation offers for training or for software or tools or services and all that kind of stuff. And you know,

I found that although they may be interesting and sometimes entertaining to go like watch webinars or to go check out the new sales page of the new tool that or software or WordPress plugin or whatever the hell it is, that typically just distracts from making any progress a real progress in my business and you know, over the years I’ve gone up and down with that, you know, sometimes a more susceptible to that other times I’m not but over the last many months now I really just started to unsubscribe from you know, ton of people’s emails. The reason I started saying that was because my oldest email account that is the account that I use, it’s a Yahoo account, Yahoo mail account, that’s the one that I used to always sign up for stuff like I don’t use my main Gmail accounts for for to sign up for lists or two webinars and things like that, because I knew that I get on a spam list, right and people would start spamming me. I’m still getting a ton of spam over there. But I’ve never voluntarily or I very, very rarely voluntarily used one of those primary Gmail type email addresses for signing up for that stuff. But I had a Yahoo mail account that was just getting spammed to death. And so over the last several months, I have really, really gotten a much better handle on that too. Because what I’ve done is I’ve gone every time I get an email now I just daily maintenance Now, every single day, I go through my Yahoo account probably two maybe three times a day. And if there’s an email that came is comes to me that I was unsolicited, which is you know, it’s they don’t come nearly as often as they used to now, I open up the email, I scroll right to the bottom finance subscribe button, I click it and make sure you know in the page reloads that it’s that in the net new tab that I’ve unsubscribed. Then I close that tab and I go back in and I click the spam button and Yahoo

And I do that every single day. And, you know, I used to get literally dozens, sometimes hundreds of emails per day, as many of you guys can probably relate. And now I swear to God, this is no bullshit over the last, probably five to six weeks now, I might get two or three emails per day and some days I don’t get any spam or unsolicited emails anymore. And that’s because I’ve gotten into the habit of doing that. So now it’s much more manageable like that, that email counts almost like a clean account. Now I do still get occasional as I said, Sometimes I’ll get one. Sometimes I get two or even three spam emails where it’s another internet marketer that bought my name off the list somewhere and sends me some bullshit email about the newest WordPress plugin. But I open up the email, I go straight to the unsubscribe button, unsubscribe and then come back and hit the spam button. And so it’s really really reduced that now the reason I said that was because if you start emailing people with unsolicited emails, you’re likely going to have many of them going to hit that spam button and that’s going to tank your deliverability, just like that. So if you’re going to be doing that sort of a strategy, you’re going to need a ton of email accounts ready, essentially one per day and even that, I don’t know that I’d send 1000 per day from one account. I probably split that up across multiple accounts. Okay.

Can You Still A GSite And Empower A Client’s Money Site If You Don’t Have Access To Their Email Account?

Anyways, it says when working with clients and you don’t have access to their email account, can you create a G site for them embed their properties and deliver the power to the money site URL? Well, yeah, I would never ask for access to my clients Google accounts ever never do I asked for that. So that’s how we do it right? We create and fits if it’s the same fits as I know that we used to be in our mastermind you should know that. And it might not be but ya know, like, for example, we just we create for clients created or even if for you guys that buy stuff from us, we’re going to go create a Google account.

To create your assets, the same thing with my clients, I go create a Google account, right or if they’re on G sweet, which some of them are, but most of them aren’t, then I have them add, you know, create an email or user account for me. And then I will end up, you know, giving me they, and then I asked them to give me permissions for to access the other accounts, like our Google Apps essentially within that account, right? That makes sense. And guys, you know, send a screencast video tutorial video to your users. So for example, I don’t ever ask for Google account access, but I do ask for to be added as a Google My Business Manager to their GMB for example. Right. So how do you do that? Well, unless you ask for their login details and go do it set, you know, add yourself as a manager, you know, add yourself as a manager, you got to ask them to do it. So if they don’t know how to do it, you got to provide them with instructions. The easiest way to do that, in my opinion, is to just do a quick tutorial video and show them hey, show him another GMB account. say look, login go to business google. com

Left-hand sidebar, you’re going to go click users, this little box is going to show you’re going to see a little plus icon at the top, click that to add new user at my email address from the drop-down, select, you know, manager, not site or not owner, just add me as a manager and then click you know, invite or send or whatever the button says, and I’ll get an invitation and then I’ll go be able to access you can do the same thing, if they have, you know, if you wanted it to be hosted on their main Google account, like a G site, which is unnecessary. But if you wanted to, you could give them instructions on a go into sites, google.com and add me as a user or manager, whatever, give me permission to be able to access that app within your Google account. However, it doesn’t matter because you can create the new account, build everything under the new account and then add your client Gmail account as a manager and then transfer ownership if you needed to. But again, it’s really unnecessary. It doesn’t matter who the Google account is. You can push the power the SEO juice anywhere you want. Okay.

Facebook Embed Post

Facebook also gives you an embed code for each post. Really? Yeah, it does. You so you can embed a Facebook post? Yes, that is correct. When did that start? Yeah,

it’s always been there. Yeah, it’s been rough. But Jay get. So if you get if you create, like, for instance, if you create, I don’t know, post with a link or a post with an image bubble, blah, then you can embed that somewhere. So it has to, it has to be on in your timeline. Or it has to be like, like on an open page. It can be like, if it’s a closed group, you can’t do anything with it. If if it’s a member, whatever it if it’s hidden or secret or Harvard. I don’t know too much about Facebook. I’m just there answering questions. Yeah, but if it’s open, right, and if it’s public, yes, Google will not Google Facebook will give you an embed code for that post or for whatever it

Is that you’re doing an image or video. But in those at one post though, right, correct, I don’t I think that you’re right that there’s an X breaker if you try to embed the like the entire face. Yeah. Yeah. And it has to come from a, from a Facebook page, if that makes sense. Not from a profile. You know, even if the profile is public, there’s a lot of, you know, stuff going on with privacy and whatnot. So it needs to come from a Facebook page, which is what your clients are going to be using anyway. Right. So um, so yeah, but that’s, that’s another caveat that you want to have in mind. Yeah, well, I mean, okay, so that may mean that that’s cool. And all but you know, unless you’re going to go in and update the iframe, or the embed code on a regular basis on your sites. I don’t see how I mean, obviously, if you’ve got I guess one post that you specifically trying to power up then yeah, and you could embed it and then hammer and you know, the G site or wherever you’ve got an embedded with links or something like that, but you know, typically I like to set up the iframe that is going to update dynamically. So I publish content and it’s on an automatically be in the iframe that I’m trying to power up. Do you know what I mean? So that’s cool. I didn’t, I wasn’t aware that you could embed individual posts, but say, that’s cool. I just learned something. Yep. Very cool. Yep.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords

Okay, so Gordon’s up again, it says, Thanks a lot for your previous answer. You’re welcome. He says, which brought up this question and used to be okay to use duplicate content for different sites targeting and local niche in different cities, just changing the location info one site for each city. But is that still true? I’ve never done that. Gordon. Honestly, I’ve always advocated for using unique content for all those and that’s specifically because, at some point, it could be, you know, toxic, it could you could end up catching a penalty because it is all duplicate content and duplicate content, guys, it’s supposed to be on the same domain, I get that, but on the same subdomains, you know, I don’t I don’t like that because it’s not as effective.

So what I’ve always always always suggested Yes, it has worked, you can just swap out location information. So like essentially the city modifier within the content. But it’s inexpensive to have a piece of content written and then have it rewritten, it’s a lot less expensive to have it rewritten than to have original content written for each, which by the way, when you go to a content farm, none of its original, all they’re doing is rewriting other content that they’ve scraped from the web, just so you’re aware of that, guys, when you go buy an article from a content farm. It is a rewritten article from something else on the web that they scraped, that’s it, there’s nobody there is actually writing an original article. all they’re doing is going easy and articles or somewhere else scraping an article and then rewriting it and usually it’s rewritten very poorly, by the way, but what I’m saying is you can go out and order an article, habit, you know, Britain for whatever, let’s say it’s 1000 word article, and it cost you 40 bucks. And then you have article rewrites. So let’s say you got six locations six subdomains where you got the URL

So that you paid 40 bucks for that, but then you order five rewrites, it might cost you $8 per rewrite. And now you’ve got six, original, unique, let’s just I’m using air quotes, but six or unique articles that are going to be more effective, in my opinion, long term, then having the same piece of content used across multiple sites where the only thing you change this is the location modifier. So that’s how I’ve done that, guys. I’ve got lead gen assets out there with subdomains with 20 subdomains, and they each have their own unique content. You know, and that’s specifically for that reason.

You know, again, it’s your call, I’ve always wanted to build long term assets that will rank and produce revenue for me for years, and I’ve got many of them. And so, you know, again, it’s all I always think about, it might be a little bit more expensive, a little bit more hassle on the front end. But what’s more of a hassle having assets that stopped producing or start performing poorly, because of you took shortcut cuts on the front end. You know if they’re producing revenue for you and again guys I don’t know if it works or not because I just don’t do it. I don’t know if it still works or not but other people may be able to comment and say oh it works fine that’s fine if you want to build your business that way do it you know, there’s it’s up to you. So I don’t recommend it though. Honestly, I try to do the work up front so that it will produce for me for the long term and I don’t have to continually worry about that shit.

Do you remember that when they first came out with pandas and penguins? What that what Google was asking for rich unique relevant content that’s updated on a regular basis how often they repeated that that was when the doofus what’s his name was still with with with the spam team gotten Matt Cutts right. When that was so that this is they kept asking them they didn’t they keep doing it over and over fresh, unique relevant content updated on a regular basis. But the telling you that for a reason the bot feeds of content

Now I know that people have done tests when and where, you know, they’ve used Latin. And it ranked, but there were still keywords interspersed with that Latin garbage that made it rank and that’s what the bite is feeding off. It’s feeding off that information that you’re giving it. And if you just keep pushing the same information over and over, we have seen this, again, we always test guys is why we can give you the answers to these questions. We’ve seen it time and again and local GMB Pro, that if you use different posts, that if you do it regularly, whatever regularly means for your niche because niches a different each unique niche will react differently to the post frequency. But we know that if you use fresh, unique, relevant content, update on a regular basis, fresh images or you make Google think that they’re fresh images

Marco: don’t even have to be, it’s just all about feeding them but the information that the bot is coded to look for. It’s looking for these variables, right the keyword in the right places, and in the right amount and then information. And, and it’s also looking at how a real person interacts with that content that you’re displaying. And whether that person finishes, whatever action they set out to do. All of this is part of it. Now, if you give people the same information over and over and over again until you change this is a little bit eventually that gets stale, and the bodies will be able to tell how people react to that. And the one thing you’d never want to do is you never want to send us a negative signal. We always concentrate on feeding them but the positive signals that’s going to get us positive actions and reactions going to get us better placement.

going to give us knowledge panel displays is going to get us calls. And it’s going to get us web site visits, and whatever else, right, whatever else that we’re looking for. But it all starts with your content. And yes, you can feed garbage. But eventually, what will happen is it’ll get the index just like it happened with that test website that was done. But that one was just to show what you could do with the content place in in in the right areas. And in the right amount. Guys, don’t trick yourself into thinking I’m going to take the easy way out and just change the location. Give people a reason to think about it. Think like the end user, right? If I’m going in there, and I’m looking to have my problem solved, and I keep seeing the same garbage over and over. I don’t want to deal with that. I want someone that that’s talking to me as the end user, and someone who’s going to help me solve my problem, become problem solvers and you’re going to go a long way towards really developing your content in a way that people are really going to enjoy interacting with, and in the long run is going to make your whole lot more money than taking shortcuts. Yeah.

Bradley: All right. We’re going to wrap it up here in a minute. But if it says mastermind calls from Bradley are awesome, relevant, timely, and actionable period. Thanks fits. Appreciate that. Yeah, I’ve enjoyed those calls. I had a couple of this week already. So again, I appreciate that. And then lastly, Gordon had posted one more question. That’s fine, Gordon, we appreciate that. He says, since relied on questions, I’ll ask something else. And this is a good question.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords?

He says when creating local Legion pages, is it better or easier to create a different page for each keyword or to try to rank a single location page for a bunch of different keywords? Yeah, so that’s a great question. Because several years ago, that was the method was to it was and that was the industry, right? The traditional knowledge, right was to go out and create. Each page would be optimized for a singular keyword. Right. That was really how silo structure was started.

be taught was, you go out and you create a silo and then you collect the supporting keywords for that silo and then you start creating posts within the silo that each post is optimized for one keyword. And that can still be applied today. But the thing is, though, you’re better off. So let me back up for a minute like with a complex silo, guys, there are categories and subcategories, right? And so what I’m saying is it used to be it was taught for a while the best practices was was to create your top-level keyword would be the top-level page, your top level category. And then for your next tier down of keywords, right, you’re supporting keywords, you would create a subcategory for each of those keywords. Right, so that’s a child page. And then at your post level, you would go out and take longer tail versions of your second tier keywords and you would create individual posts for each one of those that would link up to your sub-category pages, right. And so that was very granular It was like Uber optimized content. But after panda three or four I don’t even remember which one it was but it was sometime around 2014 timeframe we started noticing that that was less effective and now and that’s because guys the algorithm has gotten so much better and understanding natural language right it with AI and rank brain and all of that it understands content and its totality now a lot better than it used to, right it’s Google’s gotten incredibly advanced in that respect. And so now you can actually have longer form content that targets many semantically related keywords that’s the key right? So instead of going out and creating multiple pages, which is kind of a bitch anyway, and it’s it’s really makes as Marco was just talking about, it makes for a shitty user experience to if you go to a site and you have to click to another page to learn more about a very similar keyword anyways or product or service. So it just becomes repetition over and over and over again. And that’s less effective. So you’re better off creating a long-form piece of content, as it as a page that has a lot of your relevant similarly related keywords within that page, you can even have somewhat broader topics combined on the same page. So provided that they’re segregated by correct segments, or headings, and other words, sections within the page. So you know, and I’ve experimented with even ranking one page websites guys for, you know, multiple types of keywords like that wouldn’t even be in the same silo. But because of the way that you organize the content on the page, you can still rank for that. Here’s another example, using like Table of Contents or navigation links with hot links that go to those sections on the page. So that’s a good way to kind of set to analyze the content within a page to where you can only you can have one page that can rank for multiple keywords or themes that make sense. So to answer your question.

I wouldn’t go with optimizing for singular keywords. No, don’t get me wrong if you’re if you’re doing short blog posts, for example, I target, you know, with GMB posts a lot singular keywords, I mean, we still I still sprinkling variations of that single keyword, but there’s one primary keyword typically for me, for GMB posts. So you can still do that. But for your pages on your site, right, I’m talking about posts doing that. But for your pages on your site, which are typically what you’re trying to rank, you’re using posts to support the page, right? So for pages, I would recommend going with longer form content instead. That’s why I don’t usually recommend using complex silos anymore because you can accomplish it with simple silos, which is just categories and page, top-level categories and pages and then post supporting posts. Because complex structures are exactly what their name implies. They’re complex. They’re hard to manage. It’s hard to map out in the beginning, and it’s, it’s honestly, I think it’s overkill for most stuff, especially for local it’s overkill for most local things. All right.

Okay five o'clock I’ve got to go but I am going to read this comment real quick Jim says FYI everyone I placed an order for keyword research it was actually too good with too many keywords but they do break it down and suggest which keywords you should target which ones are good for silo and for supporting keywords. Don’t hesitate to order you won’t regret the quality time saved that it takes the guesswork out of it. shipped Marco trains them. Hello. Thanks, Jim. Jim. So, Alright guys, everybody. We appreciate you being here. I’m kind of digging this app even though it looks old school. It’s kind of cool. what you guys think. I like it. I mean, it works. Yeah. Works. Nobody’s complaining about getting locked out of any account so far. So we’ll see. All right, everybody. We’ll see you guys tomorrow on the mastermind and everyone else next week. Thanks for being here, man. Later see

So those are the announcements I think I nailed it. I might have something I’m going to paste Now I need to copy and paste some stuff on the thing so so yeah, there was we got I guess,

Bradley: Let me tease what you’re doing tomorrow or non so that you don’t have to toot your own horn. We got, we’ve been doing kind of a series in the mastermind. We’re probably going to end up launching a product around it anyways, but it’s Pay Per Click marketing for local and how to get results. We had a course that I produced about two, maybe two and a half years ago now called Local Kingpin. And it was specifically for using Google AdWords obviously, it’s now Google ads, but formerly Google AdWords for setting up lead gen assets and dry and using, you know, producing leads for local businesses, either on a client basis or even on a lead gen basis where you’re selling leads. And that worked really well. But the Google Ads dash dashboard, the whole platform has evolved a lot in the last two and a half years, considerably. And, you know, Google Ads themselves for search ads, excuse me, so search ads are rather expensive, you can still be profitable with that. There’s no question but it’s fucking expensive. So I’ve actually gotten away from using search ads and get more into using display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing obviously, and it works really well because the display ads are the display ad platform is so much better than it used to be. And you know, years ago when I had developed the local kingpin training

It was in that method that I was using display ads. Suck it, they might have worked, but it sucked setting them up because you had to go out in the order or design your own banner ads and you had designed them and all the various sizes that you wanted to display them in. So the leaderboard, and you know, this 350 by 250 rectangles, you know, all these different sizes. And so it was a pain in the ass, I would hire a graphic designer to develop a set of banner ads, and that would be one set of banner ads, and it might cost me 50 or 60 bucks. If you wanted to split test, you’d have to pay for another set of ads, right. And so it was just it was you’d have to wait for you know, several days to get them back from the designer. And it’s a real pain in the ass. And so it wasn’t very efficient. And it wasn’t very effective unless you really split test a lot and then found a winning combination of ads. But now what you can do on the Display Network when you’re setting up display ads is you actually just import photos, it photos and images and let your logo as well and

It’s a square version and rectangular version for each. And then you get to add up to five short headlines, one long headline and then up to five descriptions. So and there’s, you know, character limits for each. But then what Google does is Google will create responsive display ads out of just the images that you upload it to just regular photos will work or graphics, either one and then will automatically start rotating through your various headlines and descriptions to find out which gets the highest click through as an engagement. And then it will start to auto-optimize the campaign and start serving the ads that are the combinations that performed the best more and more often. And so it’s so much easier to set up a campaign now. And although obviously, display ads don’t convert nearly as well as like search ads do, it’s a fraction of the cost guys, and with the audience targeting that Google Display Network has now or Google has period. They have what they call in market audiences and life event audiences and you can even create custom intent audiences.

is now based on keywords which are really cool. I just started playing with that actually. And so if you go and find the you know in the in the in the in-market audience targeting settings if you can go in and find an end market audience for the businesses that you’re generating leads for then those tend to be very good and like for me for contractors typically a the average cost per click runs between anywhere between about 85 cents to $1 50. So somewhere in that range depending on what type of contractor it is that I’m generating leads for. And so that’s a fraction of the cost it just for it’s just quickly for some perspective here, for roofing leads, for example, it could in some of the areas that I do SEO work and generate leads for roofers of roofing. A click for search ads for roofing type keywords can cost 35 to $40 per click. And you know, typically an average conversion rate is somewhere anywhere between 32

40% right, so you’re talking about three clicks to get one lead at $35 per click, that’s $105 per lead. That, to me is incredibly expensive. But with those, if you can there in the market audience targeting, you can actually see that there are a roofing odd Roofing Services in the market audience, and you can use that for display ads. And maybe this says you pay $1 per click will just use a nice round number. And it might be a 10% conversion rate as opposed to 30 or even a 5% conversion rate, which means you need 20 clicks to get one lead, but 20 clicks at $1 to get one lead guy think about that as 20 bucks per lead as opposed to 100 bucks per lead when you’re using search ads. So keep that in mind and that’s for cold traffic. But also for remarketing purposes. Like honestly, if you’re not using remarketing in you’re doing Client Services, you’re nuts because it’s just an inexpensive way to get additional traffic back to

The site and even if that traffic doesn’t convert a lot, a lot of it will, but doesn’t convert into leads. It’s a great branding tool to help that business to gain brand recognition so that people will think of them and go search for their brand name when it’s time for them to need their product or service because they’re constantly reminded of that business. So, long story short,

we’re going to work we’ve been doing a series of training inside the mastermind about using Google ads for Local Lead Generation, not search ads, but display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing ads. And tomorrow Hernan being the Facebook marketing expert that he is, he’s coming into the mastermind to do a full training on how to use Facebook ads for Local Lead Generation. And then we’re actually going to probably be packaging all that up over the next 60 to 90 days at some point and then launching that as a separate product as kind of an update to local kingpin, but we’re going to rebrand it because it’s really going to be a whole new course. Did you guys lose me?

Hernan: No

Bradley: I got a frozen screen. Okay, yeah, there you go. Okay, so anyways, just kind of wanted to teach you guys a little bit on what’s going on in the mastermind tomorrow. Those of you that are the mastermind a lot there’s been a discussion thread by the way or not, did you see the discussion thread in the Facebook group, but are saying that we’re going to rope you into actually contributing more than just the mastermind because they want a full soup to nuts type train. Yeah. So yeah, well, yeah, if there’s a need for it,  you know, the mastermind has the privilege that you know, if you guys there’s a real need about, you know, a specific type of training that you guys want to go after, then we can make a series there’s no problem about that. We’re all about, you know, serving our members as much as we possibly can. So that if that, you know, we have a good response tomorrow, that’s potentially going to happen, at least initially within the mastermind, and then we’ll go from there. But yeah, my idea is to cover as much terrain as possible tomorrow specifically, and then if we need to do another iteration of the, of the training or you know, walk you guys through a couple of case studies. So for instance, I was going through one of the clients that I manage, and we, so he’s a chiropractor. He’s a local chiropractor, and he has four clinics in Dallas. And over the past, I would say over the past six months, we have spent around $160,000 in advertising, and we have generated almost 4000 confirm appointments to those four offices. Now that is rough. So he is charging $49 per appointment, right? It’s an intra massage offer. So he’s charging $49 per appointment. We’re getting him we’re getting those appointments for around 39 to $40. So he’s, you know, making money on the front end, but that’s not even the best thing. The best thing is that each customer forth to him on average $300 you know because they show up to his office and they buy a bunch of stuff and they buy additional massages and they buy so that’s

Average and that’s on the low side. So there’s, there’s effectively we have been moving the needle real hard. He’s super happy Of course because he’s growing. He’s expanding locations and whatnot, and some of the stuff that we were able to implement for him. We will be talking about tomorrow on the mastermind, so it’s going to be pretty cool. Yeah, awesome. Yeah. Alright, so the last thing we’re going to tease before we get into questions, which we were kind of just hoping that more questions would fill in this chat box anyways, uh, we’ve got video lead gen system

to Dotto really is launching next week, next Tuesday. As a matter of fact, we’re going to talk about it well, the first part of next week’s webinar, Hump Day hangouts is going to be where we’re going to, you know, kind of get into some detail about what it’s about and all that because I completely updated it so that still the old training is there, the old method, which I did for years, but over the last several months, I’ve been really redeveloping that method to make it more streamlined and efficient, something that a lot of it can be outsourced, but also just to make it to where, even if you were doing this yourself like, you know, managing the all of the video lead gen or video email campaigns on your own, I don’t recommend that. But if a lot of people still going to do it on their own anyway, it’s a lot more efficient now to where what used to take roughly 20 to 30 minutes per video email to send out. Now what will take you just two to three minutes No kidding, there’s there will be a setup period on the front end where you can’t get into the method here, there’ll be a setup period where it might take you an hour to get everything set up. But then from there for every prospect you want to mail to, it’s literally two to three minutes. And that’s it. And so it’s a hell of a lot more efficient. And I’ve tested a lot of different follow-up methods from that as well to once you are notified of engagement and I talked about all of this in the training and found several different methods that work really well to the kind of get the conversation going and stuff and so I go into great detail. It’s basically a whole new course but you’re still going to get the original version, as well as the Everything’s under

The same membership site now. So there’s the original version, which still works, but it’s a bit more time-consuming. And then there’s the newer version that can be applied to pretty much any sort of marketing service I use specifically one, were really two types of methods for monetizing it. In the examples and in the training, I talked about how to use it for monetizing lead gen assets. And then I also talked about for client services, if you’re just doing outreach for clients instead of lead generation service providers. Then, you know, there’s a method I talked about specifically optimizing GMB stuff, but it can be modified or an applied to pretty much any sort of service that you offer. So if you’re a digital marketer does Facebook ads like her non for example, you could still use the video lead gen system, you just obviously are going to talk about how you can get results with Facebook as opposed to how you can get results with Google My Business. So any of you guys one of the things that we do is we surveyed you guys on a consistent basis to find out what what-what our audience needs, and something that comes up all the time is client getting right? securing clients and that kind of stuff. And so that’s really what this was all about. It’s so that you guys can go out and least get the conversation started. It’s not sales training. I’m not real good at sales unless I got a referral, like been referral but as far as getting the conversation going for prospecting, it’s an outstanding way to do it’s very unique, you’ll get a lot of responses that way. And then it’s really going to be up to you to present your offer in such a way that you close the client, you know what I mean? Or the prospect at that point. So anyways, be on the lookout for that guys. Next week, we’re going to do like we typically have done in the past, which is a limited offer on the front end for 24 hours and then the price will go up. And that’s typically how we do that. So be on the lookout for that next week.

Okay, anything else? I think we’re good.

Alright, cool. Let’s get into questions. Alright, so with our 1989 looking chat box, which kind of cool though. Let’s get into it will start at the top

What Are Your Thoughts On Keyword Research Ninja?

KT says what are your thoughts on keyword research ninja? I have no thoughts on it whatsoever I’ve never used it I really don’t use any keyword research tools anymore other than Power Suggest Pro, Google AdWords you know, the Google Ads keyword planner for because I still do PPC stuff. And then we have our own in-house keyword research product that is like anytime you need keywords, that’s, you know, our go-to source now is MGYB? We have the keyword research done over there because it takes hours to compile a good list of keywords. Really, you can spend hours doing that and organizing the keywords into silos and you know, proper themes and that kind of stuff. And that’s what our, you know, our product on keyword research is specifically it’s you know, our assistant or employee that does all of that have access to multiple tools, SEM Rush, Power Suggest Pro, you know, all different kinds of tools that she uses to actually develop these reports and puts them into silos and all that kind of stuff. So different type of intent keywords, commercial intent, informational queries, that kind of stuff. So it just makes it super easy. So honestly, I can’t give you an opinion on any of those keyword tools because I just don’t use them. It just requires too much time in my opinion. And I’d rather outsource that or use a simple tool when I’m going to do it myself such as Power Suggest Pro. Marco or anybody else wants to comment on any of those.

Marco: I agree that that’s all I use. I use our keyword research. I mean, I taught them how to do it for a reason it’s based on the way that you do it. And the way that I do it, which is Google Trends and power suggest Pro with Google ads, right the Keyword Planner Tool, and but the basis is right there. Then we go into everything else and we drill down as much as we can get as much information as possible go to Answer the Public. We just use just a ton of different tools that we can get all of the keywords. I mean, you get thousands sometimes I see our report come back, and it’s 7, 8, 9 thousand keywords strong. And I’m thinking, this is like the best way to take down a market. Let me if you really need to start and understand your market and the words involved in your market. There’s nothing better. I mean, I don’t know I can’t speak on keyword research Ninja, it might be fabulous. But I can’t say anything other than the way that we have it set up works perfectly well for what we do. Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah. And again, it’s the amount of time that goes into that, you know, I got away from doing it myself because it just takes too much time. Especially to Oregon. Like it’s easy to spit out a bunch of keywords with a tool but to organize them in proper themes, you know, and basically silos and that kind of stuff and intent type people words like that’s yet I mean, as far as I know, that’s manual. I don’t know tools that actually do that maybe keyword research and into does that. I don’t know, I don’t even look at tools like that anymore. So, unfortunately, I can’t give you a good answer to that.

Does Using Subdomains Produce Better SEO Juice Than Using Pages For Multi-City Local Lead Gen Site?

Gordon’s up he says thank you very much again for the help you provide on hump days. You’re welcome. He says he when setting up a multi-city local lead gen site you have advised in the past few subdomains of the main domain for each city instead of using a page under the main domain. When using pages, I know that the SEO juice can be spread among all the city pages, but when using subdomains is the SEO just spread among all the subdomains to help each other one rank met each one rank better, or does each subdomain stand on its own for SEO purposes? Well, it’s a little of both Gordon because, again, a subdomain is treated as a separate entity by Google right. But there is the parent domain being the root domain. So you can the way I always looked at it was subdomains and other subdomains of the same root domain are called siblings, sibling domains, right and the parent domain being the root.

And so what happens is each one of the subdomains or sibling domains are their own standalone sites, which is good for protection purposes. And that’s what we’ve talked about. That’s the reason why I’ve always done that. Now, it’s funny because I really don’t do anything spammy anymore, at least not to the actual money sites. So I can probably get away with just doing the inner pages, but it’s still allowed. You’re still a, you know, and that it doesn’t mean that what we do right now, doesn’t couldn’t be considered spammy tomorrow, because we don’t work for Google. Right. And so even though I’ve never really had, at least for several years now, I haven’t had any issues with getting sites deindexed or penalize. I’ve always kept using subdomains specifically to minimize risk, right to reduce exposure, so to speak. Because as I’ve said before, if you put all of your location pages on the root, so their inner pages, right, and if you catch a penalty against any one of those pages, it could pull the whole site down and all of your other location pages.

Although again, as I said, the methods that we teach, haven’t knock on wood, they haven’t created any penalties that I’m aware of, for any of my own stuff, as well as any of our students, okay, that I’m aware of. And so you could probably get away with doing it on inner pages for management purposes, that would be much easier for there’s no doubt because you’d all you’d have just one site to manage. That said, though, just keep in mind that that’s putting all of your eggs in one basket. So if Google decides to take that basket, or destroy one of the eggs in that basket, it could very well hurt all the others as well. So back to the original question, a subdomain is kind of a standalone site in that if a subdomain was to catch a penalty, for some reason or another, it would only affect that subdomain, the route would be left intact would remain healthy and all of the other sibling domains or subdomains would also remain healthy, untouched, essentially, from that penalty that’s been levied against that one subdomain. So it’s isolates any potential penalty problems. However, if you were to catch a penalty against the root domain, it would automatically apply to all of the child domains or subdomains. Does that make sense? So that’s why we all I’ve done that in the past was to always protect the root against all odds, right? Protect the root. And then if I was going to do anything spammy, it would be on a subdomain level. And that was specifically for that reason.

However, what you can do is in this is something I’ve actually been testing recently, but I don’t have enough time passed to see in fact, I just talked about this on the last mastermind webinar, so 13 days ago, actually, about how to use subdomains and the root domain in conjunction to kind of power it up. And I can’t give away the the the method here because it can’t do that because it’s kind of an extension of something that we teach in our paid courses. But there is a way to still use somebody domains and use the root domain to kind of help power up the subdomains, with inner pages without doing anything that could catch it catch up a penalty to your route. But again, you know, as far as does the subdomains benefit each other, yes, it may not be quite as a quick effect or, or might not be as effective as inner pages. But here’s the thing, every one of those subdomains are still attached to the root, right. So again, the root domain being the parent domain is going to benefit now, you guys know we don’t talk. We don’t care much about metrics. We stopped caring about proprietary third-party metrics several years ago, but let’s just use one as an example because a lot of you guys will understand it this way. Let’s just use domain authority Moz’s metric and page authority is an example okay?

When you have a domain authority that sitewide including subdomains, right, so for example, if you have a domain authority of 20 five on the root, then your subdomains, when you create a new subdomain, it won’t automatically be 25. I don’t think so. But it will become it will benefit from the domain authority of the parent domain. And so what I have found over the years now that I’ve been developing these multi-location sites using subdomains is that at first, when you start developing, like, let’s say you start off with two locations, so you’ve got the root domain, and then to subdomains at, you know, each subdomain being four different location. And then you add, so you start optimizing, you know, doing what you do to get results. And then you add a third location. Well, that third location tech, you know, typically, according to my experience, will, will often start to get results faster than the first two dead, because it’s actually benefiting from some of the authority that has been accrued or you know, accumulated from the previous two subdomains and the route altogether, right. So as a whole, it’s now that that new subdomain is actually benefiting from the authority that has accrued from the previous two and the route itself if that makes sense. So then you add a fourth subdomain and you know, fourth location, and a fifth and a six. And what happens is I start to see each new location that I add, tends to respond quicker get results faster than the previous one, because it’s actually benefiting from the authority of the, you know, cluster essentially, that’s it’s the root domain, as well as its additional its other siblings. So, again, if you’re doing just inner pages, you’ll probably be going to get a faster effect from that. But I found that you know, as you continue to build out additional subdomains, they helped to, they kind of benefit or receive benefit from all of the previous subdomains as well. So they’re at their birth point, right. The moment that you create that subdomain, it really already has some inherent authority because of it being a subdomain of a root domain that has built authority or crude authority if that makes sense.

So, anyway, I can’t get into any more further of that, honestly, because I will be giving away too much. Come join the mastermind and will tell you all about it. So, Marco, do you want to comment on that at all or Hernan?

Marco: Now, just to validate a little bit what you’re talking about on domains, we see that domain subdomain. We see that when we do drive stacks, and we add additional folders and files, right? The more you add the more power that as you say, a cruise and I call it power. I don’t give a shit about domain authority or trust flow. I don’t give a crap about any of that its power. And so the more that you do have whatever it is that you’re doing inside the drive stack, the more power that you pushing through, and the more power that ends up wherever it is that you got that drives tech game. That’s why they work so well. Yeah. And so the more work that you do inside, the more keywords that you target, whether it’s keyword plus location or service, whatever it is that you’re doing.

You do more of it inside your drive stack. And before you know it, I mean, it’s just pushing tons of power wherever it is that you want to go. And we’ve seen people live from case studies that they even get an empty folder to rank before anything else rank. So it’s crazy the amount of power that you can do in this method, whether you’re doing it at the TL D and subdomain level or at the drive stack and G site level. Right?

Twitter Embed Code Not Displaying Properly In GSite

So if it says it says good day Semantic Mastery team thanks for this form to ask questions and get real answers. When optimizing the site, I framed Twitter the area stays blank with no message saying it won’t connect. Is that still okay? All right. I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But I know that if you just take a Twitter URL, tweet URL, a Twitter profile, URL, whatever and try to use an iframe create generator that it won’t show you have to go into Twitter developers and actually generate an embed code for it which you can do with like your timeline, tweets and stuff. So for example, you can take a Twitter profile and go to

The developers, I think it’s developers.twitter.com or something like that just do a Google search, you’ll see what I mean. And you can ask you, or even just go to Google and search, how do you create or embed a Twitter feed? And that’s what you would? Again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But if I was going to try, and I haven’t, so I haven’t tested it with G sites, guys, but you could probably it’s probably you’re using the wrong type of embed code. And that’s why it’s not displaying is what I’m saying. If you go generate the correct proper embed code from the Twitter developers site, or whatever, whatever it is, again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff, just like you can, you know, I recently I built Believe it or not, I built some PB ends recently because I was testing. I don’t use PB ends. Often guys, I very rarely use them. But I did build a few that I was testing and somebody product actually. And one of the things that they required was that you had made the site look, you know, very real. So one of the things that asked for was embedding a Twitter feed, so I had some persona profiles from some older since networks that I had built that had Twitter profiles with, you know, updates. And so I just had I had, that’s how I learned to go build this little embed code. And that’s a Twitter feed in bed, that you have to go to the developers console and sign into that account. And then you create it that way. And it gives you the specific embed code for that Twitter feed. So it’s probably that you’re using the wrong one. Now, I could be wrong guys. Because like said, I don’t do much of that stuff with Twitter at all. But I’m pretty sure if you’re trying to use just an iframe generator with a Twitter profile or something like that, it’s going to be blank, it’s going to not work.

Can You iFrame A Facebook Business Page?

Now, the next part of that question is, can you iframe in a Facebook business page? As far as I know, no, I Facebook has iframe breakers that won’t allow you to embed them anywhere using any sort of tool. If anybody has a different answer please speak up.

Hernan: I think you’re right Bradley on that on that and I haven’t personally tried to iframe Facebook but I know that you know, Facebook is kind of against that other than Facebook videos, you know that what you can allow and but you can embed that an iframe that but other than that, I wouldn’t know? Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah, I know. There are some like plugins and stuff that will allow you to embed a or you know, display a Facebook page. But it actually Yes, you have to connect it via API and all that kind of stuff like, so there are WordPress plugins that will do that. But as far as just an embed code from Facebook, I don’t think that’s possible. Once again, I don’t do much Facebook stuff. So I couldn’t tell you with all certainty, but I can I know that, like, if you try to just take a Facebook URL, and iframe it, it won’t it all, it will never display anywhere. I’ve never seen that ever work. So you have to use stuff that connects via API or authorize or what are they called Facebook apps or whatever. We actually create all that shit in order just to get even a Facebook page to show in like a widget area on a website.

Hernan: Um, so yeah, and they’re even more like they’re, they’re even more like restrictive with all of the privacy stuff that they’re going through. So that you may want to consider so.

Bradley: yeah, and then you try to iframe or when you try to embed a Facebook comments app you see what happens the previous couple on the Hangouts that and I get it I guess that’s because people can act that shit so right cool we’re going to keep moving. This chat is already thousand better than anything before devices that is cool thanks to Vaughn I’m glad you guys liked it for a bus the new battle call right revert I think that’s one of the guests says get repeatable oh that’s you that was you that’s maybe a farm setting up by a cat gotcha well mines Bradley hmm feisty forehead motherfucker in charge just in case you guys wondered what that was all about.

Do Semantic Mastery RYS Stacks Add More Value To An Existing Syndication Network & GMB Page?

Bradley: The humanoid says Marco I have an RYS Drive stack order pending and creating an RYS stack I have my syndication network complete in my see when creating a try so that I have my syndication network completed my GMB URL done. would it add more value when I have you build my RYS stacks. Thank you will thank you will

I know that was directed to Marco I’m gonna put my two cents in first before Marco answers. And if you already have your syndication network all your profile URLs to become target URLs as well. guys remember it’s just kind of about it’s just like internal linking right with your syndication network. It’s there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be powering up your tier one assets as well. So if you have all of that I would actually absolutely include those but Marco, that’s more question for you.

Marco: Yeah, I’m thinking that he wants to know if he should have the team, put them into the bill, by all means, that that’s your tier one branded, it should be included and then So when did he get the spreadsheet to hit with link building. That’s what’s going to get hit your tier one branded your GMB and everything that’s inside that drive stack. So yes, by all means, have at it, and you’re going to see some really good results. I’ve been getting a bunch of testimony.

By the way of about people having to build links to their dry stacks and then the drive stacks just going crazy. Yeah once they get some the link building done so yes have added the same thing with the ad ID page. I’ve done some testing with that and just and that’s what I loved about it. It’s one of the easiest methods because all you gotta do is go submit link building gig order to you know, I wouldn’t say to just anybody but Daddy has got it down to a science and just taking like the ad ID the iframe loop stuff that we’ve talked about and again our paid courses and almost all of them it’s available that that just works really well and again, that’s just what that magic of I frames and when you combine that with Dr. stacks or even dr stacks alone, but that’s part of it because of you know, iframe in that gets done in the site, everything else so it’s just incredibly powerful. And just hitting those that’s the beautiful thing about it guys is you know, the daddy has link building pack service which is in MYB, right? They’re still spam links, but he’s good at what he does. He’s a pro, he’s a professional, there’s no doubt and because of that, he knows how to make it really effective. And then when you use something like Google assets as the target or Amazon domain as the primary target, then it can take that kind of abuse like you can hammer away at it, and it can take it and filter it like a champ. In fact, it just kind of powers it up. Now, it’s not something that I would ever direct to the money site, but you can do you know what I mean, but you can do it two very powerful tier one assets, which is why we developed the way that we do so that’s why we don’t even use VPN, who needs a pbn? When we can use Google and Amazon assets to create the same effect and then you spam links as opposed to and I call them spam and everybody who want to do spam. But guys, I mean, that’s what link building tools do they create spam links, you can call them whatever you want. That’s really what they are. Right and so pbn links are technically spammed links to you might be buying links from you know, a domain that has good metrics, but unless it’s super well themed and all that they’re typically spam links anyways, you know what I mean? So it’s just it’s about how you use them and what you point them at. And so we recommend doing it the way that you know, at least our method we use our method for specifically for a reason. It’s efficient, and it works well. Right.

All right old school, like daddy says, will it be set up like this tomorrow? Hernan? What’s tomorrow?

Hernan: The webinar? webinar or mastermind? Yeah, now it’s gonna be on a mastermind. Yeah. It’ll be in the regular mastermind.

Bradley: Jim, think that’s when? Yeah, just the regular master the live mastermind webinar page, just like we’ve always been doing over there. I we haven’t had any problems with that over there. Now it’s in the bond site. Yeah, right. The membership site, right.

So as far as I know, we’ve never had any problems not one complaint with it over there. We had a problem with the Disqus chat app. on these pages for some reason I think it’s a Click Funnels issue like it just didn’t jive well but on the traditional mastermind webinars inside the membership site we haven’t ever had a complaint on that so if I’m wrong and you guys got some complaints about it to make them known to make them known over there in the Facebook group not here.

How Would You Strategize Sending Out An Email Campaign For Over A Year?

I blue panda whoever that is, is hey guys hope this Jeff Oh, what the hell? That’s the same as what we had before. Maybe not okay. Hey, guys hope this chat function works better than this. That piece of shit Facebook jet cheese. Yeah. Or Geez, you’re right. That was terrible. Okay, onto my question. I have a list for my niche that is big enough to send 1000 emails per day for over a year. Wow. This is simply a law of big numbers campaign for my client. These will be a one time blast. Either they respond or they don’t and the next class goes out the next day what would be the best way to approach a list of this size style of sending? I don’t know I’ve never spammed at that level before. Spam demon.

And that’s exactly what you’re doing. So the best person to answer that question is unfortunately not here. That’s Chris, our partner, Chris, he, he’s been doing that kind of work for four years. He can give you the best advice on that. But he’s not here. I’m sorry, he’s traveling. Yeah, the only thing I would know to say is that make sure that you have plenty of sending from domain email account. So in other words, making sure that you’ve got several many, many, many different email account setup, you know, that you can send from because you’re probably going to burn every single account that you send from like, almost every day.

I don’t know for sure, because it depends on how clean your list is. But typically, when you’re sending out mass emails like that, from a particular account, especially 1000 per day, you have to have accounts that have developed some sort of reputation for or else when you go to hit send on 1000 emails from an account that’s not really seasoned. It will you know, the is the internet search or email service providers will throttle those accounts and not the inbox. You know a bunch of them and also with people will start hitting the spam button which it’s likely if they were unsolicited emails, you will get a lot of people hitting the spam button, it will flag that particular domain account for or domain email excuse me for spam and so it will like they’ll just stop unboxing her nine you were going to comment? Yeah, yeah,

I agree with you. What I was about to say is that if you want to, you know, reach out to Chris just post in the Facebook group and maybe take him I don’t know if blue pen is on the mastermind group. Yeah, if you’re in the mastermind, we could get to it. You know, Chris will give you a lot of help out there. Otherwise, you could try it in the free Facebook group and I don’t know how much he’ll reveal about something like that there. But yeah, that’s the only problem like guys I talked about this a few weeks ago, but you know, I got I’ve unsubscribed from just about every single marketing list that I’m I’ve ever been on.

Over the last several months, because I decided to get really focused and you know, buying shiny objects and getting pitched new training, you know, methods and stuff like that all the time was really, and I, you know, there’s they’re kind of happens in cycles. I know a lot of you guys we’ve I’ve talked with a lot of our mastermind members over the last several months I do calls now with, you know, one on one calls with mastermind members, as a new member, you get a one on one call with one of us. And then every quarter or so I try to open up the ability to have another 30 minute call with me so I can kind of help you know, find out more about people in our mastermind and what struggles are going through and offer some guidance and and and, you know, 90 days to six months and three to six months, I have another call with them, find out if they made any progress, and they’re going to have new issues at that point. So one of the things that I’ve heard a lot through those calls without calling anybody out is that, you know, constantly being bombarded with different opportunities. And that’s because we’re all marketers, right? And so we’ve gone out and been signed up for whatever ours, which puts us on email list or we bought products, which puts us on email lists. And the next thing you know, we get hammered and you guys can all relate I’m sure you get hammered and hammered and hammered all the time with solicitation offers for training or for software or tools or services and all that kind of stuff. And you know,

I found that although they may be interesting and sometimes entertaining to go like watch webinars or to go check out the new sales page of the new tool that or software or WordPress plugin or whatever the hell it is, that typically just distracts from making any progress a real progress in my business and you know, over the years I’ve gone up and down with that, you know, sometimes a more susceptible to that other times I’m not but over the last many months now I really just started to unsubscribe from you know, ton of people’s emails. The reason I started saying that was because my oldest email account that is the account that I use, it’s a Yahoo account, Yahoo mail account, that’s the one that I used to always sign up for stuff like I don’t use my main Gmail accounts for for to sign up for lists or two webinars and things like that, because I knew that I get on a spam list, right and people would start spamming me. I’m still getting a ton of spam over there. But I’ve never voluntarily or I very, very rarely voluntarily used one of those primary Gmail type email addresses for signing up for that stuff. But I had a Yahoo mail account that was just getting spammed to death. And so over the last several months, I have really, really gotten a much better handle on that too. Because what I’ve done is I’ve gone every time I get an email now I just daily maintenance Now, every single day, I go through my Yahoo account probably two maybe three times a day. And if there’s an email that came is comes to me that I was unsolicited, which is you know, it’s they don’t come nearly as often as they used to now, I open up the email, I scroll right to the bottom finance subscribe button, I click it and make sure you know in the page reloads that it’s that in the net new tab that I’ve unsubscribed. Then I close that tab and I go back in and I click the spam button and Yahoo

And I do that every single day. And, you know, I used to get literally dozens, sometimes hundreds of emails per day, as many of you guys can probably relate. And now I swear to God, this is no bullshit over the last, probably five to six weeks now, I might get two or three emails per day and some days I don’t get any spam or unsolicited emails anymore. And that’s because I’ve gotten into the habit of doing that. So now it’s much more manageable like that, that email counts almost like a clean account. Now I do still get occasional as I said, Sometimes I’ll get one. Sometimes I get two or even three spam emails where it’s another internet marketer that bought my name off the list somewhere and sends me some bullshit email about the newest WordPress plugin. But I open up the email, I go straight to the unsubscribe button, unsubscribe and then come back and hit the spam button. And so it’s really really reduced that now the reason I said that was because if you start emailing people with unsolicited emails, you’re likely going to have many of them going to hit that spam button and that’s going to tank your deliverability, just like that. So if you’re going to be doing that sort of a strategy, you’re going to need a ton of email accounts ready, essentially one per day and even that, I don’t know that I’d send 1000 per day from one account. I probably split that up across multiple accounts. Okay.

Can You Still A GSite And Empower A Client’s Money Site If You Don’t Have Access To Their Email Account?

Anyways, it says when working with clients and you don’t have access to their email account, can you create a G site for them embed their properties and deliver the power to the money site URL? Well, yeah, I would never ask for access to my clients Google accounts ever never do I asked for that. So that’s how we do it right? We create and fits if it’s the same fits as I know that we used to be in our mastermind you should know that. And it might not be but ya know, like, for example, we just we create for clients created or even if for you guys that buy stuff from us, we’re going to go create a Google account.

To create your assets, the same thing with my clients, I go create a Google account, right or if they’re on G sweet, which some of them are, but most of them aren’t, then I have them add, you know, create an email or user account for me. And then I will end up, you know, giving me they, and then I asked them to give me permissions for to access the other accounts, like our Google Apps essentially within that account, right? That makes sense. And guys, you know, send a screencast video tutorial video to your users. So for example, I don’t ever ask for Google account access, but I do ask for to be added as a Google My Business Manager to their GMB for example. Right. So how do you do that? Well, unless you ask for their login details and go do it set, you know, add yourself as a manager, you know, add yourself as a manager, you got to ask them to do it. So if they don’t know how to do it, you got to provide them with instructions. The easiest way to do that, in my opinion, is to just do a quick tutorial video and show them hey, show him another GMB account. say look, login go to business google. com

Left-hand sidebar, you’re going to go click users, this little box is going to show you’re going to see a little plus icon at the top, click that to add new user at my email address from the drop-down, select, you know, manager, not site or not owner, just add me as a manager and then click you know, invite or send or whatever the button says, and I’ll get an invitation and then I’ll go be able to access you can do the same thing, if they have, you know, if you wanted it to be hosted on their main Google account, like a G site, which is unnecessary. But if you wanted to, you could give them instructions on a go into sites, google.com and add me as a user or manager, whatever, give me permission to be able to access that app within your Google account. However, it doesn’t matter because you can create the new account, build everything under the new account and then add your client Gmail account as a manager and then transfer ownership if you needed to. But again, it’s really unnecessary. It doesn’t matter who the Google account is. You can push the power the SEO juice anywhere you want. Okay.

Facebook Embed Post

Facebook also gives you an embed code for each post. Really? Yeah, it does. You so you can embed a Facebook post? Yes, that is correct. When did that start? Yeah,

it’s always been there. Yeah, it’s been rough. But Jay get. So if you get if you create, like, for instance, if you create, I don’t know, post with a link or a post with an image bubble, blah, then you can embed that somewhere. So it has to, it has to be on in your timeline. Or it has to be like, like on an open page. It can be like, if it’s a closed group, you can’t do anything with it. If if it’s a member, whatever it if it’s hidden or secret or Harvard. I don’t know too much about Facebook. I’m just there answering questions. Yeah, but if it’s open, right, and if it’s public, yes, Google will not Google Facebook will give you an embed code for that post or for whatever it

Is that you’re doing an image or video. But in those at one post though, right, correct, I don’t I think that you’re right that there’s an X breaker if you try to embed the like the entire face. Yeah. Yeah. And it has to come from a, from a Facebook page, if that makes sense. Not from a profile. You know, even if the profile is public, there’s a lot of, you know, stuff going on with privacy and whatnot. So it needs to come from a Facebook page, which is what your clients are going to be using anyway. Right. So um, so yeah, but that’s, that’s another caveat that you want to have in mind. Yeah, well, I mean, okay, so that may mean that that’s cool. And all but you know, unless you’re going to go in and update the iframe, or the embed code on a regular basis on your sites. I don’t see how I mean, obviously, if you’ve got I guess one post that you specifically trying to power up then yeah, and you could embed it and then hammer and you know, the G site or wherever you’ve got an embedded with links or something like that, but you know, typically I like to set up the iframe that is going to update dynamically. So I publish content and it’s on an automatically be in the iframe that I’m trying to power up. Do you know what I mean? So that’s cool. I didn’t, I wasn’t aware that you could embed individual posts, but say, that’s cool. I just learned something. Yep. Very cool. Yep.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords

Okay, so Gordon’s up again, it says, Thanks a lot for your previous answer. You’re welcome. He says, which brought up this question and used to be okay to use duplicate content for different sites targeting and local niche in different cities, just changing the location info one site for each city. But is that still true? I’ve never done that. Gordon. Honestly, I’ve always advocated for using unique content for all those and that’s specifically because, at some point, it could be, you know, toxic, it could you could end up catching a penalty because it is all duplicate content and duplicate content, guys, it’s supposed to be on the same domain, I get that, but on the same subdomains, you know, I don’t I don’t like that because it’s not as effective.

So what I’ve always always always suggested Yes, it has worked, you can just swap out location information. So like essentially the city modifier within the content. But it’s inexpensive to have a piece of content written and then have it rewritten, it’s a lot less expensive to have it rewritten than to have original content written for each, which by the way, when you go to a content farm, none of its original, all they’re doing is rewriting other content that they’ve scraped from the web, just so you’re aware of that, guys, when you go buy an article from a content farm. It is a rewritten article from something else on the web that they scraped, that’s it, there’s nobody there is actually writing an original article. all they’re doing is going easy and articles or somewhere else scraping an article and then rewriting it and usually it’s rewritten very poorly, by the way, but what I’m saying is you can go out and order an article, habit, you know, Britain for whatever, let’s say it’s 1000 word article, and it cost you 40 bucks. And then you have article rewrites. So let’s say you got six locations six subdomains where you got the URL

So that you paid 40 bucks for that, but then you order five rewrites, it might cost you $8 per rewrite. And now you’ve got six, original, unique, let’s just I’m using air quotes, but six or unique articles that are going to be more effective, in my opinion, long term, then having the same piece of content used across multiple sites where the only thing you change this is the location modifier. So that’s how I’ve done that, guys. I’ve got lead gen assets out there with subdomains with 20 subdomains, and they each have their own unique content. You know, and that’s specifically for that reason.

You know, again, it’s your call, I’ve always wanted to build long term assets that will rank and produce revenue for me for years, and I’ve got many of them. And so, you know, again, it’s all I always think about, it might be a little bit more expensive, a little bit more hassle on the front end. But what’s more of a hassle having assets that stopped producing or start performing poorly, because of you took shortcut cuts on the front end. You know if they’re producing revenue for you and again guys I don’t know if it works or not because I just don’t do it. I don’t know if it still works or not but other people may be able to comment and say oh it works fine that’s fine if you want to build your business that way do it you know, there’s it’s up to you. So I don’t recommend it though. Honestly, I try to do the work up front so that it will produce for me for the long term and I don’t have to continually worry about that shit.

Do you remember that when they first came out with pandas and penguins? What that what Google was asking for rich unique relevant content that’s updated on a regular basis how often they repeated that that was when the doofus what’s his name was still with with with the spam team gotten Matt Cutts right. When that was so that this is they kept asking them they didn’t they keep doing it over and over fresh, unique relevant content updated on a regular basis. But the telling you that for a reason the bot feeds of content

Now I know that people have done tests when and where, you know, they’ve used Latin. And it ranked, but there were still keywords interspersed with that Latin garbage that made it rank and that’s what the bite is feeding off. It’s feeding off that information that you’re giving it. And if you just keep pushing the same information over and over, we have seen this, again, we always test guys is why we can give you the answers to these questions. We’ve seen it time and again and local GMB Pro, that if you use different posts, that if you do it regularly, whatever regularly means for your niche because niches a different each unique niche will react differently to the post frequency. But we know that if you use fresh, unique, relevant content, update on a regular basis, fresh images or you make Google think that they’re fresh images

Marco: don’t even have to be, it’s just all about feeding them but the information that the bot is coded to look for. It’s looking for these variables, right the keyword in the right places, and in the right amount and then information. And, and it’s also looking at how a real person interacts with that content that you’re displaying. And whether that person finishes, whatever action they set out to do. All of this is part of it. Now, if you give people the same information over and over and over again until you change this is a little bit eventually that gets stale, and the bodies will be able to tell how people react to that. And the one thing you’d never want to do is you never want to send us a negative signal. We always concentrate on feeding them but the positive signals that’s going to get us positive actions and reactions going to get us better placement.

going to give us knowledge panel displays is going to get us calls. And it’s going to get us web site visits, and whatever else, right, whatever else that we’re looking for. But it all starts with your content. And yes, you can feed garbage. But eventually, what will happen is it’ll get the index just like it happened with that test website that was done. But that one was just to show what you could do with the content place in in in the right areas. And in the right amount. Guys, don’t trick yourself into thinking I’m going to take the easy way out and just change the location. Give people a reason to think about it. Think like the end user, right? If I’m going in there, and I’m looking to have my problem solved, and I keep seeing the same garbage over and over. I don’t want to deal with that. I want someone that that’s talking to me as the end user, and someone who’s going to help me solve my problem, become problem solvers and you’re going to go a long way towards really developing your content in a way that people are really going to enjoy interacting with, and in the long run is going to make your whole lot more money than taking shortcuts. Yeah.

Bradley: All right. We’re going to wrap it up here in a minute. But if it says mastermind calls from Bradley are awesome, relevant, timely, and actionable period. Thanks fits. Appreciate that. Yeah, I’ve enjoyed those calls. I had a couple of this week already. So again, I appreciate that. And then lastly, Gordon had posted one more question. That’s fine, Gordon, we appreciate that. He says, since relied on questions, I’ll ask something else. And this is a good question.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords?

He says when creating local Legion pages, is it better or easier to create a different page for each keyword or to try to rank a single location page for a bunch of different keywords? Yeah, so that’s a great question. Because several years ago, that was the method was to it was and that was the industry, right? The traditional knowledge, right was to go out and create. Each page would be optimized for a singular keyword. Right. That was really how silo structure was started.

be taught was, you go out and you create a silo and then you collect the supporting keywords for that silo and then you start creating posts within the silo that each post is optimized for one keyword. And that can still be applied today. But the thing is, though, you’re better off. So let me back up for a minute like with a complex silo, guys, there are categories and subcategories, right? And so what I’m saying is it used to be it was taught for a while the best practices was was to create your top-level keyword would be the top-level page, your top level category. And then for your next tier down of keywords, right, you’re supporting keywords, you would create a subcategory for each of those keywords. Right, so that’s a child page. And then at your post level, you would go out and take longer tail versions of your second tier keywords and you would create individual posts for each one of those that would link up to your sub-category pages, right. And so that was very granular It was like Uber optimized content. But after panda three or four I don’t even remember which one it was but it was sometime around 2014 timeframe we started noticing that that was less effective and now and that’s because guys the algorithm has gotten so much better and understanding natural language right it with AI and rank brain and all of that it understands content and its totality now a lot better than it used to, right it’s Google’s gotten incredibly advanced in that respect. And so now you can actually have longer form content that targets many semantically related keywords that’s the key right? So instead of going out and creating multiple pages, which is kind of a bitch anyway, and it’s it’s really makes as Marco was just talking about, it makes for a shitty user experience to if you go to a site and you have to click to another page to learn more about a very similar keyword anyways or product or service. So it just becomes repetition over and over and over again. And that’s less effective. So you’re better off creating a long-form piece of content, as it as a page that has a lot of your relevant similarly related keywords within that page, you can even have somewhat broader topics combined on the same page. So provided that they’re segregated by correct segments, or headings, and other words, sections within the page. So you know, and I’ve experimented with even ranking one page websites guys for, you know, multiple types of keywords like that wouldn’t even be in the same silo. But because of the way that you organize the content on the page, you can still rank for that. Here’s another example, using like Table of Contents or navigation links with hot links that go to those sections on the page. So that’s a good way to kind of set to analyze the content within a page to where you can only you can have one page that can rank for multiple keywords or themes that make sense. So to answer your question.

I wouldn’t go with optimizing for singular keywords. No, don’t get me wrong if you’re if you’re doing short blog posts, for example, I target, you know, with GMB posts a lot singular keywords, I mean, we still I still sprinkling variations of that single keyword, but there’s one primary keyword typically for me, for GMB posts. So you can still do that. But for your pages on your site, right, I’m talking about posts doing that. But for your pages on your site, which are typically what you’re trying to rank, you’re using posts to support the page, right? So for pages, I would recommend going with longer form content instead. That’s why I don’t usually recommend using complex silos anymore because you can accomplish it with simple silos, which is just categories and page, top-level categories and pages and then post supporting posts. Because complex structures are exactly what their name implies. They’re complex. They’re hard to manage. It’s hard to map out in the beginning, and it’s, it’s honestly, I think it’s overkill for most stuff, especially for local it’s overkill for most local things. All right.

Okay five o'clock I’ve got to go but I am going to read this comment real quick Jim says FYI everyone I placed an order for keyword research it was actually too good with too many keywords but they do break it down and suggest which keywords you should target which ones are good for silo and for supporting keywords. Don’t hesitate to order you won’t regret the quality time saved that it takes the guesswork out of it. shipped Marco trains them. Hello. Thanks, Jim. Jim. So, Alright guys, everybody. We appreciate you being here. I’m kind of digging this app even though it looks old school. It’s kind of cool. what you guys think. I like it. I mean, it works. Yeah. Works. Nobody’s complaining about getting locked out of any account so far. So we’ll see. All right, everybody. We’ll see you guys tomorrow on the mastermind and everyone else next week. Thanks for being here, man. Later see

So those are the announcements I think I nailed it. I might have something I’m going to paste Now I need to copy and paste some stuff on the thing so so yeah, there was we got I guess,

Bradley: Let me tease what you’re doing tomorrow or non so that you don’t have to toot your own horn. We got, we’ve been doing kind of a series in the mastermind. We’re probably going to end up launching a product around it anyways, but it’s Pay Per Click marketing for local and how to get results. We had a course that I produced about two, maybe two and a half years ago now called Local Kingpin. And it was specifically for using Google AdWords obviously, it’s now Google ads, but formerly Google AdWords for setting up lead gen assets and dry and using, you know, producing leads for local businesses, either on a client basis or even on a lead gen basis where you’re selling leads. And that worked really well. But the Google Ads dash dashboard, the whole platform has evolved a lot in the last two and a half years, considerably. And, you know, Google Ads themselves for search ads, excuse me, so search ads are rather expensive, you can still be profitable with that. There’s no question but it’s fucking expensive. So I’ve actually gotten away from using search ads and get more into using display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing obviously, and it works really well because the display ads are the display ad platform is so much better than it used to be. And you know, years ago when I had developed the local kingpin training

It was in that method that I was using display ads. Suck it, they might have worked, but it sucked setting them up because you had to go out in the order or design your own banner ads and you had designed them and all the various sizes that you wanted to display them in. So the leaderboard, and you know, this 350 by 250 rectangles, you know, all these different sizes. And so it was a pain in the ass, I would hire a graphic designer to develop a set of banner ads, and that would be one set of banner ads, and it might cost me 50 or 60 bucks. If you wanted to split test, you’d have to pay for another set of ads, right. And so it was just it was you’d have to wait for you know, several days to get them back from the designer. And it’s a real pain in the ass. And so it wasn’t very efficient. And it wasn’t very effective unless you really split test a lot and then found a winning combination of ads. But now what you can do on the Display Network when you’re setting up display ads is you actually just import photos, it photos and images and let your logo as well and

It’s a square version and rectangular version for each. And then you get to add up to five short headlines, one long headline and then up to five descriptions. So and there’s, you know, character limits for each. But then what Google does is Google will create responsive display ads out of just the images that you upload it to just regular photos will work or graphics, either one and then will automatically start rotating through your various headlines and descriptions to find out which gets the highest click through as an engagement. And then it will start to auto-optimize the campaign and start serving the ads that are the combinations that performed the best more and more often. And so it’s so much easier to set up a campaign now. And although obviously, display ads don’t convert nearly as well as like search ads do, it’s a fraction of the cost guys, and with the audience targeting that Google Display Network has now or Google has period. They have what they call in market audiences and life event audiences and you can even create custom intent audiences.

is now based on keywords which are really cool. I just started playing with that actually. And so if you go and find the you know in the in the in the in-market audience targeting settings if you can go in and find an end market audience for the businesses that you’re generating leads for then those tend to be very good and like for me for contractors typically a the average cost per click runs between anywhere between about 85 cents to $1 50. So somewhere in that range depending on what type of contractor it is that I’m generating leads for. And so that’s a fraction of the cost it just for it’s just quickly for some perspective here, for roofing leads, for example, it could in some of the areas that I do SEO work and generate leads for roofers of roofing. A click for search ads for roofing type keywords can cost 35 to $40 per click. And you know, typically an average conversion rate is somewhere anywhere between 32

40% right, so you’re talking about three clicks to get one lead at $35 per click, that’s $105 per lead. That, to me is incredibly expensive. But with those, if you can there in the market audience targeting, you can actually see that there are a roofing odd Roofing Services in the market audience, and you can use that for display ads. And maybe this says you pay $1 per click will just use a nice round number. And it might be a 10% conversion rate as opposed to 30 or even a 5% conversion rate, which means you need 20 clicks to get one lead, but 20 clicks at $1 to get one lead guy think about that as 20 bucks per lead as opposed to 100 bucks per lead when you’re using search ads. So keep that in mind and that’s for cold traffic. But also for remarketing purposes. Like honestly, if you’re not using remarketing in you’re doing Client Services, you’re nuts because it’s just an inexpensive way to get additional traffic back to

The site and even if that traffic doesn’t convert a lot, a lot of it will, but doesn’t convert into leads. It’s a great branding tool to help that business to gain brand recognition so that people will think of them and go search for their brand name when it’s time for them to need their product or service because they’re constantly reminded of that business. So, long story short,

we’re going to work we’ve been doing a series of training inside the mastermind about using Google ads for Local Lead Generation, not search ads, but display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing ads. And tomorrow Hernan being the Facebook marketing expert that he is, he’s coming into the mastermind to do a full training on how to use Facebook ads for Local Lead Generation. And then we’re actually going to probably be packaging all that up over the next 60 to 90 days at some point and then launching that as a separate product as kind of an update to local kingpin, but we’re going to rebrand it because it’s really going to be a whole new course. Did you guys lose me?

Hernan: No

Bradley: I got a frozen screen. Okay, yeah, there you go. Okay, so anyways, just kind of wanted to teach you guys a little bit on what’s going on in the mastermind tomorrow. Those of you that are the mastermind a lot there’s been a discussion thread by the way or not, did you see the discussion thread in the Facebook group, but are saying that we’re going to rope you into actually contributing more than just the mastermind because they want a full soup to nuts type train. Yeah. So yeah, well, yeah, if there’s a need for it,  you know, the mastermind has the privilege that you know, if you guys there’s a real need about, you know, a specific type of training that you guys want to go after, then we can make a series there’s no problem about that. We’re all about, you know, serving our members as much as we possibly can. So that if that, you know, we have a good response tomorrow, that’s potentially going to happen, at least initially within the mastermind, and then we’ll go from there. But yeah, my idea is to cover as much terrain as possible tomorrow specifically, and then if we need to do another iteration of the, of the training or you know, walk you guys through a couple of case studies. So for instance, I was going through one of the clients that I manage, and we, so he’s a chiropractor. He’s a local chiropractor, and he has four clinics in Dallas. And over the past, I would say over the past six months, we have spent around $160,000 in advertising, and we have generated almost 4000 confirm appointments to those four offices. Now that is rough. So he is charging $49 per appointment, right? It’s an intra massage offer. So he’s charging $49 per appointment. We’re getting him we’re getting those appointments for around 39 to $40. So he’s, you know, making money on the front end, but that’s not even the best thing. The best thing is that each customer forth to him on average $300 you know because they show up to his office and they buy a bunch of stuff and they buy additional massages and they buy so that’s

Average and that’s on the low side. So there’s, there’s effectively we have been moving the needle real hard. He’s super happy Of course because he’s growing. He’s expanding locations and whatnot, and some of the stuff that we were able to implement for him. We will be talking about tomorrow on the mastermind, so it’s going to be pretty cool. Yeah, awesome. Yeah. Alright, so the last thing we’re going to tease before we get into questions, which we were kind of just hoping that more questions would fill in this chat box anyways, uh, we’ve got video lead gen system

to Dotto really is launching next week, next Tuesday. As a matter of fact, we’re going to talk about it well, the first part of next week’s webinar, Hump Day hangouts is going to be where we’re going to, you know, kind of get into some detail about what it’s about and all that because I completely updated it so that still the old training is there, the old method, which I did for years, but over the last several months, I’ve been really redeveloping that method to make it more streamlined and efficient, something that a lot of it can be outsourced, but also just to make it to where, even if you were doing this yourself like, you know, managing the all of the video lead gen or video email campaigns on your own, I don’t recommend that. But if a lot of people still going to do it on their own anyway, it’s a lot more efficient now to where what used to take roughly 20 to 30 minutes per video email to send out. Now what will take you just two to three minutes No kidding, there’s there will be a setup period on the front end where you can’t get into the method here, there’ll be a setup period where it might take you an hour to get everything set up. But then from there for every prospect you want to mail to, it’s literally two to three minutes. And that’s it. And so it’s a hell of a lot more efficient. And I’ve tested a lot of different follow-up methods from that as well to once you are notified of engagement and I talked about all of this in the training and found several different methods that work really well to the kind of get the conversation going and stuff and so I go into great detail. It’s basically a whole new course but you’re still going to get the original version, as well as the Everything’s under

The same membership site now. So there’s the original version, which still works, but it’s a bit more time-consuming. And then there’s the newer version that can be applied to pretty much any sort of marketing service I use specifically one, were really two types of methods for monetizing it. In the examples and in the training, I talked about how to use it for monetizing lead gen assets. And then I also talked about for client services, if you’re just doing outreach for clients instead of lead generation service providers. Then, you know, there’s a method I talked about specifically optimizing GMB stuff, but it can be modified or an applied to pretty much any sort of service that you offer. So if you’re a digital marketer does Facebook ads like her non for example, you could still use the video lead gen system, you just obviously are going to talk about how you can get results with Facebook as opposed to how you can get results with Google My Business. So any of you guys one of the things that we do is we surveyed you guys on a consistent basis to find out what what-what our audience needs, and something that comes up all the time is client getting right? securing clients and that kind of stuff. And so that’s really what this was all about. It’s so that you guys can go out and least get the conversation started. It’s not sales training. I’m not real good at sales unless I got a referral, like been referral but as far as getting the conversation going for prospecting, it’s an outstanding way to do it’s very unique, you’ll get a lot of responses that way. And then it’s really going to be up to you to present your offer in such a way that you close the client, you know what I mean? Or the prospect at that point. So anyways, be on the lookout for that guys. Next week, we’re going to do like we typically have done in the past, which is a limited offer on the front end for 24 hours and then the price will go up. And that’s typically how we do that. So be on the lookout for that next week.

Okay, anything else? I think we’re good.

Alright, cool. Let’s get into questions. Alright, so with our 1989 looking chat box, which kind of cool though. Let’s get into it will start at the top

What Are Your Thoughts On Keyword Research Ninja?

KT says what are your thoughts on keyword research ninja? I have no thoughts on it whatsoever I’ve never used it I really don’t use any keyword research tools anymore other than Power Suggest Pro, Google AdWords you know, the Google Ads keyword planner for because I still do PPC stuff. And then we have our own in-house keyword research product that is like anytime you need keywords, that’s, you know, our go-to source now is MGYB? We have the keyword research done over there because it takes hours to compile a good list of keywords. Really, you can spend hours doing that and organizing the keywords into silos and you know, proper themes and that kind of stuff. And that’s what our, you know, our product on keyword research is specifically it’s you know, our assistant or employee that does all of that have access to multiple tools, SEM Rush, Power Suggest Pro, you know, all different kinds of tools that she uses to actually develop these reports and puts them into silos and all that kind of stuff. So different type of intent keywords, commercial intent, informational queries, that kind of stuff. So it just makes it super easy. So honestly, I can’t give you an opinion on any of those keyword tools because I just don’t use them. It just requires too much time in my opinion. And I’d rather outsource that or use a simple tool when I’m going to do it myself such as Power Suggest Pro. Marco or anybody else wants to comment on any of those.

Marco: I agree that that’s all I use. I use our keyword research. I mean, I taught them how to do it for a reason it’s based on the way that you do it. And the way that I do it, which is Google Trends and power suggest Pro with Google ads, right the Keyword Planner Tool, and but the basis is right there. Then we go into everything else and we drill down as much as we can get as much information as possible go to Answer the Public. We just use just a ton of different tools that we can get all of the keywords. I mean, you get thousands sometimes I see our report come back, and it’s 7, 8, 9 thousand keywords strong. And I’m thinking, this is like the best way to take down a market. Let me if you really need to start and understand your market and the words involved in your market. There’s nothing better. I mean, I don’t know I can’t speak on keyword research Ninja, it might be fabulous. But I can’t say anything other than the way that we have it set up works perfectly well for what we do. Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah. And again, it’s the amount of time that goes into that, you know, I got away from doing it myself because it just takes too much time. Especially to Oregon. Like it’s easy to spit out a bunch of keywords with a tool but to organize them in proper themes, you know, and basically silos and that kind of stuff and intent type people words like that’s yet I mean, as far as I know, that’s manual. I don’t know tools that actually do that maybe keyword research and into does that. I don’t know, I don’t even look at tools like that anymore. So, unfortunately, I can’t give you a good answer to that.

Does Using Subdomains Produce Better SEO Juice Than Using Pages For Multi-City Local Lead Gen Site?

Gordon’s up he says thank you very much again for the help you provide on hump days. You’re welcome. He says he when setting up a multi-city local lead gen site you have advised in the past few subdomains of the main domain for each city instead of using a page under the main domain. When using pages, I know that the SEO juice can be spread among all the city pages, but when using subdomains is the SEO just spread among all the subdomains to help each other one rank met each one rank better, or does each subdomain stand on its own for SEO purposes? Well, it’s a little of both Gordon because, again, a subdomain is treated as a separate entity by Google right. But there is the parent domain being the root domain. So you can the way I always looked at it was subdomains and other subdomains of the same root domain are called siblings, sibling domains, right and the parent domain being the root.

And so what happens is each one of the subdomains or sibling domains are their own standalone sites, which is good for protection purposes. And that’s what we’ve talked about. That’s the reason why I’ve always done that. Now, it’s funny because I really don’t do anything spammy anymore, at least not to the actual money sites. So I can probably get away with just doing the inner pages, but it’s still allowed. You’re still a, you know, and that it doesn’t mean that what we do right now, doesn’t couldn’t be considered spammy tomorrow, because we don’t work for Google. Right. And so even though I’ve never really had, at least for several years now, I haven’t had any issues with getting sites deindexed or penalize. I’ve always kept using subdomains specifically to minimize risk, right to reduce exposure, so to speak. Because as I’ve said before, if you put all of your location pages on the root, so their inner pages, right, and if you catch a penalty against any one of those pages, it could pull the whole site down and all of your other location pages.

Although again, as I said, the methods that we teach, haven’t knock on wood, they haven’t created any penalties that I’m aware of, for any of my own stuff, as well as any of our students, okay, that I’m aware of. And so you could probably get away with doing it on inner pages for management purposes, that would be much easier for there’s no doubt because you’d all you’d have just one site to manage. That said, though, just keep in mind that that’s putting all of your eggs in one basket. So if Google decides to take that basket, or destroy one of the eggs in that basket, it could very well hurt all the others as well. So back to the original question, a subdomain is kind of a standalone site in that if a subdomain was to catch a penalty, for some reason or another, it would only affect that subdomain, the route would be left intact would remain healthy and all of the other sibling domains or subdomains would also remain healthy, untouched, essentially, from that penalty that’s been levied against that one subdomain. So it’s isolates any potential penalty problems. However, if you were to catch a penalty against the root domain, it would automatically apply to all of the child domains or subdomains. Does that make sense? So that’s why we all I’ve done that in the past was to always protect the root against all odds, right? Protect the root. And then if I was going to do anything spammy, it would be on a subdomain level. And that was specifically for that reason.

However, what you can do is in this is something I’ve actually been testing recently, but I don’t have enough time passed to see in fact, I just talked about this on the last mastermind webinar, so 13 days ago, actually, about how to use subdomains and the root domain in conjunction to kind of power it up. And I can’t give away the the the method here because it can’t do that because it’s kind of an extension of something that we teach in our paid courses. But there is a way to still use somebody domains and use the root domain to kind of help power up the subdomains, with inner pages without doing anything that could catch it catch up a penalty to your route. But again, you know, as far as does the subdomains benefit each other, yes, it may not be quite as a quick effect or, or might not be as effective as inner pages. But here’s the thing, every one of those subdomains are still attached to the root, right. So again, the root domain being the parent domain is going to benefit now, you guys know we don’t talk. We don’t care much about metrics. We stopped caring about proprietary third-party metrics several years ago, but let’s just use one as an example because a lot of you guys will understand it this way. Let’s just use domain authority Moz’s metric and page authority is an example okay?

When you have a domain authority that sitewide including subdomains, right, so for example, if you have a domain authority of 20 five on the root, then your subdomains, when you create a new subdomain, it won’t automatically be 25. I don’t think so. But it will become it will benefit from the domain authority of the parent domain. And so what I have found over the years now that I’ve been developing these multi-location sites using subdomains is that at first, when you start developing, like, let’s say you start off with two locations, so you’ve got the root domain, and then to subdomains at, you know, each subdomain being four different location. And then you add, so you start optimizing, you know, doing what you do to get results. And then you add a third location. Well, that third location tech, you know, typically, according to my experience, will, will often start to get results faster than the first two dead, because it’s actually benefiting from some of the authority that has been accrued or you know, accumulated from the previous two subdomains and the route altogether, right. So as a whole, it’s now that that new subdomain is actually benefiting from the authority that has accrued from the previous two and the route itself if that makes sense. So then you add a fourth subdomain and you know, fourth location, and a fifth and a six. And what happens is I start to see each new location that I add, tends to respond quicker get results faster than the previous one, because it’s actually benefiting from the authority of the, you know, cluster essentially, that’s it’s the root domain, as well as its additional its other siblings. So, again, if you’re doing just inner pages, you’ll probably be going to get a faster effect from that. But I found that you know, as you continue to build out additional subdomains, they helped to, they kind of benefit or receive benefit from all of the previous subdomains as well. So they’re at their birth point, right. The moment that you create that subdomain, it really already has some inherent authority because of it being a subdomain of a root domain that has built authority or crude authority if that makes sense.

So, anyway, I can’t get into any more further of that, honestly, because I will be giving away too much. Come join the mastermind and will tell you all about it. So, Marco, do you want to comment on that at all or Hernan?

Marco: Now, just to validate a little bit what you’re talking about on domains, we see that domain subdomain. We see that when we do drive stacks, and we add additional folders and files, right? The more you add the more power that as you say, a cruise and I call it power. I don’t give a shit about domain authority or trust flow. I don’t give a crap about any of that its power. And so the more that you do have whatever it is that you’re doing inside the drive stack, the more power that you pushing through, and the more power that ends up wherever it is that you got that drives tech game. That’s why they work so well. Yeah. And so the more work that you do inside, the more keywords that you target, whether it’s keyword plus location or service, whatever it is that you’re doing.

You do more of it inside your drive stack. And before you know it, I mean, it’s just pushing tons of power wherever it is that you want to go. And we’ve seen people live from case studies that they even get an empty folder to rank before anything else rank. So it’s crazy the amount of power that you can do in this method, whether you’re doing it at the TL D and subdomain level or at the drive stack and G site level. Right?

Twitter Embed Code Not Displaying Properly In GSite

So if it says it says good day Semantic Mastery team thanks for this form to ask questions and get real answers. When optimizing the site, I framed Twitter the area stays blank with no message saying it won’t connect. Is that still okay? All right. I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But I know that if you just take a Twitter URL, tweet URL, a Twitter profile, URL, whatever and try to use an iframe create generator that it won’t show you have to go into Twitter developers and actually generate an embed code for it which you can do with like your timeline, tweets and stuff. So for example, you can take a Twitter profile and go to

The developers, I think it’s developers.twitter.com or something like that just do a Google search, you’ll see what I mean. And you can ask you, or even just go to Google and search, how do you create or embed a Twitter feed? And that’s what you would? Again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But if I was going to try, and I haven’t, so I haven’t tested it with G sites, guys, but you could probably it’s probably you’re using the wrong type of embed code. And that’s why it’s not displaying is what I’m saying. If you go generate the correct proper embed code from the Twitter developers site, or whatever, whatever it is, again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff, just like you can, you know, I recently I built Believe it or not, I built some PB ends recently because I was testing. I don’t use PB ends. Often guys, I very rarely use them. But I did build a few that I was testing and somebody product actually. And one of the things that they required was that you had made the site look, you know, very real. So one of the things that asked for was embedding a Twitter feed, so I had some persona profiles from some older since networks that I had built that had Twitter profiles with, you know, updates. And so I just had I had, that’s how I learned to go build this little embed code. And that’s a Twitter feed in bed, that you have to go to the developers console and sign into that account. And then you create it that way. And it gives you the specific embed code for that Twitter feed. So it’s probably that you’re using the wrong one. Now, I could be wrong guys. Because like said, I don’t do much of that stuff with Twitter at all. But I’m pretty sure if you’re trying to use just an iframe generator with a Twitter profile or something like that, it’s going to be blank, it’s going to not work.

Can You iFrame A Facebook Business Page?

Now, the next part of that question is, can you iframe in a Facebook business page? As far as I know, no, I Facebook has iframe breakers that won’t allow you to embed them anywhere using any sort of tool. If anybody has a different answer please speak up.

Hernan: I think you’re right Bradley on that on that and I haven’t personally tried to iframe Facebook but I know that you know, Facebook is kind of against that other than Facebook videos, you know that what you can allow and but you can embed that an iframe that but other than that, I wouldn’t know? Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah, I know. There are some like plugins and stuff that will allow you to embed a or you know, display a Facebook page. But it actually Yes, you have to connect it via API and all that kind of stuff like, so there are WordPress plugins that will do that. But as far as just an embed code from Facebook, I don’t think that’s possible. Once again, I don’t do much Facebook stuff. So I couldn’t tell you with all certainty, but I can I know that, like, if you try to just take a Facebook URL, and iframe it, it won’t it all, it will never display anywhere. I’ve never seen that ever work. So you have to use stuff that connects via API or authorize or what are they called Facebook apps or whatever. We actually create all that shit in order just to get even a Facebook page to show in like a widget area on a website.

Hernan: Um, so yeah, and they’re even more like they’re, they’re even more like restrictive with all of the privacy stuff that they’re going through. So that you may want to consider so.

Bradley: yeah, and then you try to iframe or when you try to embed a Facebook comments app you see what happens the previous couple on the Hangouts that and I get it I guess that’s because people can act that shit so right cool we’re going to keep moving. This chat is already thousand better than anything before devices that is cool thanks to Vaughn I’m glad you guys liked it for a bus the new battle call right revert I think that’s one of the guests says get repeatable oh that’s you that was you that’s maybe a farm setting up by a cat gotcha well mines Bradley hmm feisty forehead motherfucker in charge just in case you guys wondered what that was all about.

Do Semantic Mastery RYS Stacks Add More Value To An Existing Syndication Network & GMB Page?

Bradley: The humanoid says Marco I have an RYS Drive stack order pending and creating an RYS stack I have my syndication network complete in my see when creating a try so that I have my syndication network completed my GMB URL done. would it add more value when I have you build my RYS stacks. Thank you will thank you will

I know that was directed to Marco I’m gonna put my two cents in first before Marco answers. And if you already have your syndication network all your profile URLs to become target URLs as well. guys remember it’s just kind of about it’s just like internal linking right with your syndication network. It’s there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be powering up your tier one assets as well. So if you have all of that I would actually absolutely include those but Marco, that’s more question for you.

Marco: Yeah, I’m thinking that he wants to know if he should have the team, put them into the bill, by all means, that that’s your tier one branded, it should be included and then So when did he get the spreadsheet to hit with link building. That’s what’s going to get hit your tier one branded your GMB and everything that’s inside that drive stack. So yes, by all means, have at it, and you’re going to see some really good results. I’ve been getting a bunch of testimony.

By the way of about people having to build links to their dry stacks and then the drive stacks just going crazy. Yeah once they get some the link building done so yes have added the same thing with the ad ID page. I’ve done some testing with that and just and that’s what I loved about it. It’s one of the easiest methods because all you gotta do is go submit link building gig order to you know, I wouldn’t say to just anybody but Daddy has got it down to a science and just taking like the ad ID the iframe loop stuff that we’ve talked about and again our paid courses and almost all of them it’s available that that just works really well and again, that’s just what that magic of I frames and when you combine that with Dr. stacks or even dr stacks alone, but that’s part of it because of you know, iframe in that gets done in the site, everything else so it’s just incredibly powerful. And just hitting those that’s the beautiful thing about it guys is you know, the daddy has link building pack service which is in MYB, right? They’re still spam links, but he’s good at what he does. He’s a pro, he’s a professional, there’s no doubt and because of that, he knows how to make it really effective. And then when you use something like Google assets as the target or Amazon domain as the primary target, then it can take that kind of abuse like you can hammer away at it, and it can take it and filter it like a champ. In fact, it just kind of powers it up. Now, it’s not something that I would ever direct to the money site, but you can do you know what I mean, but you can do it two very powerful tier one assets, which is why we developed the way that we do so that’s why we don’t even use VPN, who needs a pbn? When we can use Google and Amazon assets to create the same effect and then you spam links as opposed to and I call them spam and everybody who want to do spam. But guys, I mean, that’s what link building tools do they create spam links, you can call them whatever you want. That’s really what they are. Right and so pbn links are technically spammed links to you might be buying links from you know, a domain that has good metrics, but unless it’s super well themed and all that they’re typically spam links anyways, you know what I mean? So it’s just it’s about how you use them and what you point them at. And so we recommend doing it the way that you know, at least our method we use our method for specifically for a reason. It’s efficient, and it works well. Right.

All right old school, like daddy says, will it be set up like this tomorrow? Hernan? What’s tomorrow?

Hernan: The webinar? webinar or mastermind? Yeah, now it’s gonna be on a mastermind. Yeah. It’ll be in the regular mastermind.

Bradley: Jim, think that’s when? Yeah, just the regular master the live mastermind webinar page, just like we’ve always been doing over there. I we haven’t had any problems with that over there. Now it’s in the bond site. Yeah, right. The membership site, right.

So as far as I know, we’ve never had any problems not one complaint with it over there. We had a problem with the Disqus chat app. on these pages for some reason I think it’s a Click Funnels issue like it just didn’t jive well but on the traditional mastermind webinars inside the membership site we haven’t ever had a complaint on that so if I’m wrong and you guys got some complaints about it to make them known to make them known over there in the Facebook group not here.

How Would You Strategize Sending Out An Email Campaign For Over A Year?

I blue panda whoever that is, is hey guys hope this Jeff Oh, what the hell? That’s the same as what we had before. Maybe not okay. Hey, guys hope this chat function works better than this. That piece of shit Facebook jet cheese. Yeah. Or Geez, you’re right. That was terrible. Okay, onto my question. I have a list for my niche that is big enough to send 1000 emails per day for over a year. Wow. This is simply a law of big numbers campaign for my client. These will be a one time blast. Either they respond or they don’t and the next class goes out the next day what would be the best way to approach a list of this size style of sending? I don’t know I’ve never spammed at that level before. Spam demon.

And that’s exactly what you’re doing. So the best person to answer that question is unfortunately not here. That’s Chris, our partner, Chris, he, he’s been doing that kind of work for four years. He can give you the best advice on that. But he’s not here. I’m sorry, he’s traveling. Yeah, the only thing I would know to say is that make sure that you have plenty of sending from domain email account. So in other words, making sure that you’ve got several many, many, many different email account setup, you know, that you can send from because you’re probably going to burn every single account that you send from like, almost every day.

I don’t know for sure, because it depends on how clean your list is. But typically, when you’re sending out mass emails like that, from a particular account, especially 1000 per day, you have to have accounts that have developed some sort of reputation for or else when you go to hit send on 1000 emails from an account that’s not really seasoned. It will you know, the is the internet search or email service providers will throttle those accounts and not the inbox. You know a bunch of them and also with people will start hitting the spam button which it’s likely if they were unsolicited emails, you will get a lot of people hitting the spam button, it will flag that particular domain account for or domain email excuse me for spam and so it will like they’ll just stop unboxing her nine you were going to comment? Yeah, yeah,

I agree with you. What I was about to say is that if you want to, you know, reach out to Chris just post in the Facebook group and maybe take him I don’t know if blue pen is on the mastermind group. Yeah, if you’re in the mastermind, we could get to it. You know, Chris will give you a lot of help out there. Otherwise, you could try it in the free Facebook group and I don’t know how much he’ll reveal about something like that there. But yeah, that’s the only problem like guys I talked about this a few weeks ago, but you know, I got I’ve unsubscribed from just about every single marketing list that I’m I’ve ever been on.

Over the last several months, because I decided to get really focused and you know, buying shiny objects and getting pitched new training, you know, methods and stuff like that all the time was really, and I, you know, there’s they’re kind of happens in cycles. I know a lot of you guys we’ve I’ve talked with a lot of our mastermind members over the last several months I do calls now with, you know, one on one calls with mastermind members, as a new member, you get a one on one call with one of us. And then every quarter or so I try to open up the ability to have another 30 minute call with me so I can kind of help you know, find out more about people in our mastermind and what struggles are going through and offer some guidance and and and, you know, 90 days to six months and three to six months, I have another call with them, find out if they made any progress, and they’re going to have new issues at that point. So one of the things that I’ve heard a lot through those calls without calling anybody out is that, you know, constantly being bombarded with different opportunities. And that’s because we’re all marketers, right? And so we’ve gone out and been signed up for whatever ours, which puts us on email list or we bought products, which puts us on email lists. And the next thing you know, we get hammered and you guys can all relate I’m sure you get hammered and hammered and hammered all the time with solicitation offers for training or for software or tools or services and all that kind of stuff. And you know,

I found that although they may be interesting and sometimes entertaining to go like watch webinars or to go check out the new sales page of the new tool that or software or WordPress plugin or whatever the hell it is, that typically just distracts from making any progress a real progress in my business and you know, over the years I’ve gone up and down with that, you know, sometimes a more susceptible to that other times I’m not but over the last many months now I really just started to unsubscribe from you know, ton of people’s emails. The reason I started saying that was because my oldest email account that is the account that I use, it’s a Yahoo account, Yahoo mail account, that’s the one that I used to always sign up for stuff like I don’t use my main Gmail accounts for for to sign up for lists or two webinars and things like that, because I knew that I get on a spam list, right and people would start spamming me. I’m still getting a ton of spam over there. But I’ve never voluntarily or I very, very rarely voluntarily used one of those primary Gmail type email addresses for signing up for that stuff. But I had a Yahoo mail account that was just getting spammed to death. And so over the last several months, I have really, really gotten a much better handle on that too. Because what I’ve done is I’ve gone every time I get an email now I just daily maintenance Now, every single day, I go through my Yahoo account probably two maybe three times a day. And if there’s an email that came is comes to me that I was unsolicited, which is you know, it’s they don’t come nearly as often as they used to now, I open up the email, I scroll right to the bottom finance subscribe button, I click it and make sure you know in the page reloads that it’s that in the net new tab that I’ve unsubscribed. Then I close that tab and I go back in and I click the spam button and Yahoo

And I do that every single day. And, you know, I used to get literally dozens, sometimes hundreds of emails per day, as many of you guys can probably relate. And now I swear to God, this is no bullshit over the last, probably five to six weeks now, I might get two or three emails per day and some days I don’t get any spam or unsolicited emails anymore. And that’s because I’ve gotten into the habit of doing that. So now it’s much more manageable like that, that email counts almost like a clean account. Now I do still get occasional as I said, Sometimes I’ll get one. Sometimes I get two or even three spam emails where it’s another internet marketer that bought my name off the list somewhere and sends me some bullshit email about the newest WordPress plugin. But I open up the email, I go straight to the unsubscribe button, unsubscribe and then come back and hit the spam button. And so it’s really really reduced that now the reason I said that was because if you start emailing people with unsolicited emails, you’re likely going to have many of them going to hit that spam button and that’s going to tank your deliverability, just like that. So if you’re going to be doing that sort of a strategy, you’re going to need a ton of email accounts ready, essentially one per day and even that, I don’t know that I’d send 1000 per day from one account. I probably split that up across multiple accounts. Okay.

Can You Still A GSite And Empower A Client’s Money Site If You Don’t Have Access To Their Email Account?

Anyways, it says when working with clients and you don’t have access to their email account, can you create a G site for them embed their properties and deliver the power to the money site URL? Well, yeah, I would never ask for access to my clients Google accounts ever never do I asked for that. So that’s how we do it right? We create and fits if it’s the same fits as I know that we used to be in our mastermind you should know that. And it might not be but ya know, like, for example, we just we create for clients created or even if for you guys that buy stuff from us, we’re going to go create a Google account.

To create your assets, the same thing with my clients, I go create a Google account, right or if they’re on G sweet, which some of them are, but most of them aren’t, then I have them add, you know, create an email or user account for me. And then I will end up, you know, giving me they, and then I asked them to give me permissions for to access the other accounts, like our Google Apps essentially within that account, right? That makes sense. And guys, you know, send a screencast video tutorial video to your users. So for example, I don’t ever ask for Google account access, but I do ask for to be added as a Google My Business Manager to their GMB for example. Right. So how do you do that? Well, unless you ask for their login details and go do it set, you know, add yourself as a manager, you know, add yourself as a manager, you got to ask them to do it. So if they don’t know how to do it, you got to provide them with instructions. The easiest way to do that, in my opinion, is to just do a quick tutorial video and show them hey, show him another GMB account. say look, login go to business google. com

Left-hand sidebar, you’re going to go click users, this little box is going to show you’re going to see a little plus icon at the top, click that to add new user at my email address from the drop-down, select, you know, manager, not site or not owner, just add me as a manager and then click you know, invite or send or whatever the button says, and I’ll get an invitation and then I’ll go be able to access you can do the same thing, if they have, you know, if you wanted it to be hosted on their main Google account, like a G site, which is unnecessary. But if you wanted to, you could give them instructions on a go into sites, google.com and add me as a user or manager, whatever, give me permission to be able to access that app within your Google account. However, it doesn’t matter because you can create the new account, build everything under the new account and then add your client Gmail account as a manager and then transfer ownership if you needed to. But again, it’s really unnecessary. It doesn’t matter who the Google account is. You can push the power the SEO juice anywhere you want. Okay.

Facebook Embed Post

Facebook also gives you an embed code for each post. Really? Yeah, it does. You so you can embed a Facebook post? Yes, that is correct. When did that start? Yeah,

it’s always been there. Yeah, it’s been rough. But Jay get. So if you get if you create, like, for instance, if you create, I don’t know, post with a link or a post with an image bubble, blah, then you can embed that somewhere. So it has to, it has to be on in your timeline. Or it has to be like, like on an open page. It can be like, if it’s a closed group, you can’t do anything with it. If if it’s a member, whatever it if it’s hidden or secret or Harvard. I don’t know too much about Facebook. I’m just there answering questions. Yeah, but if it’s open, right, and if it’s public, yes, Google will not Google Facebook will give you an embed code for that post or for whatever it

Is that you’re doing an image or video. But in those at one post though, right, correct, I don’t I think that you’re right that there’s an X breaker if you try to embed the like the entire face. Yeah. Yeah. And it has to come from a, from a Facebook page, if that makes sense. Not from a profile. You know, even if the profile is public, there’s a lot of, you know, stuff going on with privacy and whatnot. So it needs to come from a Facebook page, which is what your clients are going to be using anyway. Right. So um, so yeah, but that’s, that’s another caveat that you want to have in mind. Yeah, well, I mean, okay, so that may mean that that’s cool. And all but you know, unless you’re going to go in and update the iframe, or the embed code on a regular basis on your sites. I don’t see how I mean, obviously, if you’ve got I guess one post that you specifically trying to power up then yeah, and you could embed it and then hammer and you know, the G site or wherever you’ve got an embedded with links or something like that, but you know, typically I like to set up the iframe that is going to update dynamically. So I publish content and it’s on an automatically be in the iframe that I’m trying to power up. Do you know what I mean? So that’s cool. I didn’t, I wasn’t aware that you could embed individual posts, but say, that’s cool. I just learned something. Yep. Very cool. Yep.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords

Okay, so Gordon’s up again, it says, Thanks a lot for your previous answer. You’re welcome. He says, which brought up this question and used to be okay to use duplicate content for different sites targeting and local niche in different cities, just changing the location info one site for each city. But is that still true? I’ve never done that. Gordon. Honestly, I’ve always advocated for using unique content for all those and that’s specifically because, at some point, it could be, you know, toxic, it could you could end up catching a penalty because it is all duplicate content and duplicate content, guys, it’s supposed to be on the same domain, I get that, but on the same subdomains, you know, I don’t I don’t like that because it’s not as effective.

So what I’ve always always always suggested Yes, it has worked, you can just swap out location information. So like essentially the city modifier within the content. But it’s inexpensive to have a piece of content written and then have it rewritten, it’s a lot less expensive to have it rewritten than to have original content written for each, which by the way, when you go to a content farm, none of its original, all they’re doing is rewriting other content that they’ve scraped from the web, just so you’re aware of that, guys, when you go buy an article from a content farm. It is a rewritten article from something else on the web that they scraped, that’s it, there’s nobody there is actually writing an original article. all they’re doing is going easy and articles or somewhere else scraping an article and then rewriting it and usually it’s rewritten very poorly, by the way, but what I’m saying is you can go out and order an article, habit, you know, Britain for whatever, let’s say it’s 1000 word article, and it cost you 40 bucks. And then you have article rewrites. So let’s say you got six locations six subdomains where you got the URL

So that you paid 40 bucks for that, but then you order five rewrites, it might cost you $8 per rewrite. And now you’ve got six, original, unique, let’s just I’m using air quotes, but six or unique articles that are going to be more effective, in my opinion, long term, then having the same piece of content used across multiple sites where the only thing you change this is the location modifier. So that’s how I’ve done that, guys. I’ve got lead gen assets out there with subdomains with 20 subdomains, and they each have their own unique content. You know, and that’s specifically for that reason.

You know, again, it’s your call, I’ve always wanted to build long term assets that will rank and produce revenue for me for years, and I’ve got many of them. And so, you know, again, it’s all I always think about, it might be a little bit more expensive, a little bit more hassle on the front end. But what’s more of a hassle having assets that stopped producing or start performing poorly, because of you took shortcut cuts on the front end. You know if they’re producing revenue for you and again guys I don’t know if it works or not because I just don’t do it. I don’t know if it still works or not but other people may be able to comment and say oh it works fine that’s fine if you want to build your business that way do it you know, there’s it’s up to you. So I don’t recommend it though. Honestly, I try to do the work up front so that it will produce for me for the long term and I don’t have to continually worry about that shit.

Do you remember that when they first came out with pandas and penguins? What that what Google was asking for rich unique relevant content that’s updated on a regular basis how often they repeated that that was when the doofus what’s his name was still with with with the spam team gotten Matt Cutts right. When that was so that this is they kept asking them they didn’t they keep doing it over and over fresh, unique relevant content updated on a regular basis. But the telling you that for a reason the bot feeds of content

Now I know that people have done tests when and where, you know, they’ve used Latin. And it ranked, but there were still keywords interspersed with that Latin garbage that made it rank and that’s what the bite is feeding off. It’s feeding off that information that you’re giving it. And if you just keep pushing the same information over and over, we have seen this, again, we always test guys is why we can give you the answers to these questions. We’ve seen it time and again and local GMB Pro, that if you use different posts, that if you do it regularly, whatever regularly means for your niche because niches a different each unique niche will react differently to the post frequency. But we know that if you use fresh, unique, relevant content, update on a regular basis, fresh images or you make Google think that they’re fresh images

Marco: don’t even have to be, it’s just all about feeding them but the information that the bot is coded to look for. It’s looking for these variables, right the keyword in the right places, and in the right amount and then information. And, and it’s also looking at how a real person interacts with that content that you’re displaying. And whether that person finishes, whatever action they set out to do. All of this is part of it. Now, if you give people the same information over and over and over again until you change this is a little bit eventually that gets stale, and the bodies will be able to tell how people react to that. And the one thing you’d never want to do is you never want to send us a negative signal. We always concentrate on feeding them but the positive signals that’s going to get us positive actions and reactions going to get us better placement.

going to give us knowledge panel displays is going to get us calls. And it’s going to get us web site visits, and whatever else, right, whatever else that we’re looking for. But it all starts with your content. And yes, you can feed garbage. But eventually, what will happen is it’ll get the index just like it happened with that test website that was done. But that one was just to show what you could do with the content place in in in the right areas. And in the right amount. Guys, don’t trick yourself into thinking I’m going to take the easy way out and just change the location. Give people a reason to think about it. Think like the end user, right? If I’m going in there, and I’m looking to have my problem solved, and I keep seeing the same garbage over and over. I don’t want to deal with that. I want someone that that’s talking to me as the end user, and someone who’s going to help me solve my problem, become problem solvers and you’re going to go a long way towards really developing your content in a way that people are really going to enjoy interacting with, and in the long run is going to make your whole lot more money than taking shortcuts. Yeah.

Bradley: All right. We’re going to wrap it up here in a minute. But if it says mastermind calls from Bradley are awesome, relevant, timely, and actionable period. Thanks fits. Appreciate that. Yeah, I’ve enjoyed those calls. I had a couple of this week already. So again, I appreciate that. And then lastly, Gordon had posted one more question. That’s fine, Gordon, we appreciate that. He says, since relied on questions, I’ll ask something else. And this is a good question.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords?

He says when creating local Legion pages, is it better or easier to create a different page for each keyword or to try to rank a single location page for a bunch of different keywords? Yeah, so that’s a great question. Because several years ago, that was the method was to it was and that was the industry, right? The traditional knowledge, right was to go out and create. Each page would be optimized for a singular keyword. Right. That was really how silo structure was started.

be taught was, you go out and you create a silo and then you collect the supporting keywords for that silo and then you start creating posts within the silo that each post is optimized for one keyword. And that can still be applied today. But the thing is, though, you’re better off. So let me back up for a minute like with a complex silo, guys, there are categories and subcategories, right? And so what I’m saying is it used to be it was taught for a while the best practices was was to create your top-level keyword would be the top-level page, your top level category. And then for your next tier down of keywords, right, you’re supporting keywords, you would create a subcategory for each of those keywords. Right, so that’s a child page. And then at your post level, you would go out and take longer tail versions of your second tier keywords and you would create individual posts for each one of those that would link up to your sub-category pages, right. And so that was very granular It was like Uber optimized content. But after panda three or four I don’t even remember which one it was but it was sometime around 2014 timeframe we started noticing that that was less effective and now and that’s because guys the algorithm has gotten so much better and understanding natural language right it with AI and rank brain and all of that it understands content and its totality now a lot better than it used to, right it’s Google’s gotten incredibly advanced in that respect. And so now you can actually have longer form content that targets many semantically related keywords that’s the key right? So instead of going out and creating multiple pages, which is kind of a bitch anyway, and it’s it’s really makes as Marco was just talking about, it makes for a shitty user experience to if you go to a site and you have to click to another page to learn more about a very similar keyword anyways or product or service. So it just becomes repetition over and over and over again. And that’s less effective. So you’re better off creating a long-form piece of content, as it as a page that has a lot of your relevant similarly related keywords within that page, you can even have somewhat broader topics combined on the same page. So provided that they’re segregated by correct segments, or headings, and other words, sections within the page. So you know, and I’ve experimented with even ranking one page websites guys for, you know, multiple types of keywords like that wouldn’t even be in the same silo. But because of the way that you organize the content on the page, you can still rank for that. Here’s another example, using like Table of Contents or navigation links with hot links that go to those sections on the page. So that’s a good way to kind of set to analyze the content within a page to where you can only you can have one page that can rank for multiple keywords or themes that make sense. So to answer your question.

I wouldn’t go with optimizing for singular keywords. No, don’t get me wrong if you’re if you’re doing short blog posts, for example, I target, you know, with GMB posts a lot singular keywords, I mean, we still I still sprinkling variations of that single keyword, but there’s one primary keyword typically for me, for GMB posts. So you can still do that. But for your pages on your site, right, I’m talking about posts doing that. But for your pages on your site, which are typically what you’re trying to rank, you’re using posts to support the page, right? So for pages, I would recommend going with longer form content instead. That’s why I don’t usually recommend using complex silos anymore because you can accomplish it with simple silos, which is just categories and page, top-level categories and pages and then post supporting posts. Because complex structures are exactly what their name implies. They’re complex. They’re hard to manage. It’s hard to map out in the beginning, and it’s, it’s honestly, I think it’s overkill for most stuff, especially for local it’s overkill for most local things. All right.

Okay five o'clock I’ve got to go but I am going to read this comment real quick Jim says FYI everyone I placed an order for keyword research it was actually too good with too many keywords but they do break it down and suggest which keywords you should target which ones are good for silo and for supporting keywords. Don’t hesitate to order you won’t regret the quality time saved that it takes the guesswork out of it. shipped Marco trains them. Hello. Thanks, Jim. Jim. So, Alright guys, everybody. We appreciate you being here. I’m kind of digging this app even though it looks old school. It’s kind of cool. what you guys think. I like it. I mean, it works. Yeah. Works. Nobody’s complaining about getting locked out of any account so far. So we’ll see. All right, everybody. We’ll see you guys tomorrow on the mastermind and everyone else next week. Thanks for being here, man. Later see

So those are the announcements I think I nailed it. I might have something I’m going to paste Now I need to copy and paste some stuff on the thing so so yeah, there was we got I guess,

Bradley: Let me tease what you’re doing tomorrow or non so that you don’t have to toot your own horn. We got, we’ve been doing kind of a series in the mastermind. We’re probably going to end up launching a product around it anyways, but it’s Pay Per Click marketing for local and how to get results. We had a course that I produced about two, maybe two and a half years ago now called Local Kingpin. And it was specifically for using Google AdWords obviously, it’s now Google ads, but formerly Google AdWords for setting up lead gen assets and dry and using, you know, producing leads for local businesses, either on a client basis or even on a lead gen basis where you’re selling leads. And that worked really well. But the Google Ads dash dashboard, the whole platform has evolved a lot in the last two and a half years, considerably. And, you know, Google Ads themselves for search ads, excuse me, so search ads are rather expensive, you can still be profitable with that. There’s no question but it’s fucking expensive. So I’ve actually gotten away from using search ads and get more into using display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing obviously, and it works really well because the display ads are the display ad platform is so much better than it used to be. And you know, years ago when I had developed the local kingpin training

It was in that method that I was using display ads. Suck it, they might have worked, but it sucked setting them up because you had to go out in the order or design your own banner ads and you had designed them and all the various sizes that you wanted to display them in. So the leaderboard, and you know, this 350 by 250 rectangles, you know, all these different sizes. And so it was a pain in the ass, I would hire a graphic designer to develop a set of banner ads, and that would be one set of banner ads, and it might cost me 50 or 60 bucks. If you wanted to split test, you’d have to pay for another set of ads, right. And so it was just it was you’d have to wait for you know, several days to get them back from the designer. And it’s a real pain in the ass. And so it wasn’t very efficient. And it wasn’t very effective unless you really split test a lot and then found a winning combination of ads. But now what you can do on the Display Network when you’re setting up display ads is you actually just import photos, it photos and images and let your logo as well and

It’s a square version and rectangular version for each. And then you get to add up to five short headlines, one long headline and then up to five descriptions. So and there’s, you know, character limits for each. But then what Google does is Google will create responsive display ads out of just the images that you upload it to just regular photos will work or graphics, either one and then will automatically start rotating through your various headlines and descriptions to find out which gets the highest click through as an engagement. And then it will start to auto-optimize the campaign and start serving the ads that are the combinations that performed the best more and more often. And so it’s so much easier to set up a campaign now. And although obviously, display ads don’t convert nearly as well as like search ads do, it’s a fraction of the cost guys, and with the audience targeting that Google Display Network has now or Google has period. They have what they call in market audiences and life event audiences and you can even create custom intent audiences.

is now based on keywords which are really cool. I just started playing with that actually. And so if you go and find the you know in the in the in the in-market audience targeting settings if you can go in and find an end market audience for the businesses that you’re generating leads for then those tend to be very good and like for me for contractors typically a the average cost per click runs between anywhere between about 85 cents to $1 50. So somewhere in that range depending on what type of contractor it is that I’m generating leads for. And so that’s a fraction of the cost it just for it’s just quickly for some perspective here, for roofing leads, for example, it could in some of the areas that I do SEO work and generate leads for roofers of roofing. A click for search ads for roofing type keywords can cost 35 to $40 per click. And you know, typically an average conversion rate is somewhere anywhere between 32

40% right, so you’re talking about three clicks to get one lead at $35 per click, that’s $105 per lead. That, to me is incredibly expensive. But with those, if you can there in the market audience targeting, you can actually see that there are a roofing odd Roofing Services in the market audience, and you can use that for display ads. And maybe this says you pay $1 per click will just use a nice round number. And it might be a 10% conversion rate as opposed to 30 or even a 5% conversion rate, which means you need 20 clicks to get one lead, but 20 clicks at $1 to get one lead guy think about that as 20 bucks per lead as opposed to 100 bucks per lead when you’re using search ads. So keep that in mind and that’s for cold traffic. But also for remarketing purposes. Like honestly, if you’re not using remarketing in you’re doing Client Services, you’re nuts because it’s just an inexpensive way to get additional traffic back to

The site and even if that traffic doesn’t convert a lot, a lot of it will, but doesn’t convert into leads. It’s a great branding tool to help that business to gain brand recognition so that people will think of them and go search for their brand name when it’s time for them to need their product or service because they’re constantly reminded of that business. So, long story short,

we’re going to work we’ve been doing a series of training inside the mastermind about using Google ads for Local Lead Generation, not search ads, but display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing ads. And tomorrow Hernan being the Facebook marketing expert that he is, he’s coming into the mastermind to do a full training on how to use Facebook ads for Local Lead Generation. And then we’re actually going to probably be packaging all that up over the next 60 to 90 days at some point and then launching that as a separate product as kind of an update to local kingpin, but we’re going to rebrand it because it’s really going to be a whole new course. Did you guys lose me?

Hernan: No

Bradley: I got a frozen screen. Okay, yeah, there you go. Okay, so anyways, just kind of wanted to teach you guys a little bit on what’s going on in the mastermind tomorrow. Those of you that are the mastermind a lot there’s been a discussion thread by the way or not, did you see the discussion thread in the Facebook group, but are saying that we’re going to rope you into actually contributing more than just the mastermind because they want a full soup to nuts type train. Yeah. So yeah, well, yeah, if there’s a need for it,  you know, the mastermind has the privilege that you know, if you guys there’s a real need about, you know, a specific type of training that you guys want to go after, then we can make a series there’s no problem about that. We’re all about, you know, serving our members as much as we possibly can. So that if that, you know, we have a good response tomorrow, that’s potentially going to happen, at least initially within the mastermind, and then we’ll go from there. But yeah, my idea is to cover as much terrain as possible tomorrow specifically, and then if we need to do another iteration of the, of the training or you know, walk you guys through a couple of case studies. So for instance, I was going through one of the clients that I manage, and we, so he’s a chiropractor. He’s a local chiropractor, and he has four clinics in Dallas. And over the past, I would say over the past six months, we have spent around $160,000 in advertising, and we have generated almost 4000 confirm appointments to those four offices. Now that is rough. So he is charging $49 per appointment, right? It’s an intra massage offer. So he’s charging $49 per appointment. We’re getting him we’re getting those appointments for around 39 to $40. So he’s, you know, making money on the front end, but that’s not even the best thing. The best thing is that each customer forth to him on average $300 you know because they show up to his office and they buy a bunch of stuff and they buy additional massages and they buy so that’s

Average and that’s on the low side. So there’s, there’s effectively we have been moving the needle real hard. He’s super happy Of course because he’s growing. He’s expanding locations and whatnot, and some of the stuff that we were able to implement for him. We will be talking about tomorrow on the mastermind, so it’s going to be pretty cool. Yeah, awesome. Yeah. Alright, so the last thing we’re going to tease before we get into questions, which we were kind of just hoping that more questions would fill in this chat box anyways, uh, we’ve got video lead gen system

to Dotto really is launching next week, next Tuesday. As a matter of fact, we’re going to talk about it well, the first part of next week’s webinar, Hump Day hangouts is going to be where we’re going to, you know, kind of get into some detail about what it’s about and all that because I completely updated it so that still the old training is there, the old method, which I did for years, but over the last several months, I’ve been really redeveloping that method to make it more streamlined and efficient, something that a lot of it can be outsourced, but also just to make it to where, even if you were doing this yourself like, you know, managing the all of the video lead gen or video email campaigns on your own, I don’t recommend that. But if a lot of people still going to do it on their own anyway, it’s a lot more efficient now to where what used to take roughly 20 to 30 minutes per video email to send out. Now what will take you just two to three minutes No kidding, there’s there will be a setup period on the front end where you can’t get into the method here, there’ll be a setup period where it might take you an hour to get everything set up. But then from there for every prospect you want to mail to, it’s literally two to three minutes. And that’s it. And so it’s a hell of a lot more efficient. And I’ve tested a lot of different follow-up methods from that as well to once you are notified of engagement and I talked about all of this in the training and found several different methods that work really well to the kind of get the conversation going and stuff and so I go into great detail. It’s basically a whole new course but you’re still going to get the original version, as well as the Everything’s under

The same membership site now. So there’s the original version, which still works, but it’s a bit more time-consuming. And then there’s the newer version that can be applied to pretty much any sort of marketing service I use specifically one, were really two types of methods for monetizing it. In the examples and in the training, I talked about how to use it for monetizing lead gen assets. And then I also talked about for client services, if you’re just doing outreach for clients instead of lead generation service providers. Then, you know, there’s a method I talked about specifically optimizing GMB stuff, but it can be modified or an applied to pretty much any sort of service that you offer. So if you’re a digital marketer does Facebook ads like her non for example, you could still use the video lead gen system, you just obviously are going to talk about how you can get results with Facebook as opposed to how you can get results with Google My Business. So any of you guys one of the things that we do is we surveyed you guys on a consistent basis to find out what what-what our audience needs, and something that comes up all the time is client getting right? securing clients and that kind of stuff. And so that’s really what this was all about. It’s so that you guys can go out and least get the conversation started. It’s not sales training. I’m not real good at sales unless I got a referral, like been referral but as far as getting the conversation going for prospecting, it’s an outstanding way to do it’s very unique, you’ll get a lot of responses that way. And then it’s really going to be up to you to present your offer in such a way that you close the client, you know what I mean? Or the prospect at that point. So anyways, be on the lookout for that guys. Next week, we’re going to do like we typically have done in the past, which is a limited offer on the front end for 24 hours and then the price will go up. And that’s typically how we do that. So be on the lookout for that next week.

Okay, anything else? I think we’re good.

Alright, cool. Let’s get into questions. Alright, so with our 1989 looking chat box, which kind of cool though. Let’s get into it will start at the top

What Are Your Thoughts On Keyword Research Ninja?

KT says what are your thoughts on keyword research ninja? I have no thoughts on it whatsoever I’ve never used it I really don’t use any keyword research tools anymore other than Power Suggest Pro, Google AdWords you know, the Google Ads keyword planner for because I still do PPC stuff. And then we have our own in-house keyword research product that is like anytime you need keywords, that’s, you know, our go-to source now is MGYB? We have the keyword research done over there because it takes hours to compile a good list of keywords. Really, you can spend hours doing that and organizing the keywords into silos and you know, proper themes and that kind of stuff. And that’s what our, you know, our product on keyword research is specifically it’s you know, our assistant or employee that does all of that have access to multiple tools, SEM Rush, Power Suggest Pro, you know, all different kinds of tools that she uses to actually develop these reports and puts them into silos and all that kind of stuff. So different type of intent keywords, commercial intent, informational queries, that kind of stuff. So it just makes it super easy. So honestly, I can’t give you an opinion on any of those keyword tools because I just don’t use them. It just requires too much time in my opinion. And I’d rather outsource that or use a simple tool when I’m going to do it myself such as Power Suggest Pro. Marco or anybody else wants to comment on any of those.

Marco: I agree that that’s all I use. I use our keyword research. I mean, I taught them how to do it for a reason it’s based on the way that you do it. And the way that I do it, which is Google Trends and power suggest Pro with Google ads, right the Keyword Planner Tool, and but the basis is right there. Then we go into everything else and we drill down as much as we can get as much information as possible go to Answer the Public. We just use just a ton of different tools that we can get all of the keywords. I mean, you get thousands sometimes I see our report come back, and it’s 7, 8, 9 thousand keywords strong. And I’m thinking, this is like the best way to take down a market. Let me if you really need to start and understand your market and the words involved in your market. There’s nothing better. I mean, I don’t know I can’t speak on keyword research Ninja, it might be fabulous. But I can’t say anything other than the way that we have it set up works perfectly well for what we do. Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah. And again, it’s the amount of time that goes into that, you know, I got away from doing it myself because it just takes too much time. Especially to Oregon. Like it’s easy to spit out a bunch of keywords with a tool but to organize them in proper themes, you know, and basically silos and that kind of stuff and intent type people words like that’s yet I mean, as far as I know, that’s manual. I don’t know tools that actually do that maybe keyword research and into does that. I don’t know, I don’t even look at tools like that anymore. So, unfortunately, I can’t give you a good answer to that.

Does Using Subdomains Produce Better SEO Juice Than Using Pages For Multi-City Local Lead Gen Site?

Gordon’s up he says thank you very much again for the help you provide on hump days. You’re welcome. He says he when setting up a multi-city local lead gen site you have advised in the past few subdomains of the main domain for each city instead of using a page under the main domain. When using pages, I know that the SEO juice can be spread among all the city pages, but when using subdomains is the SEO just spread among all the subdomains to help each other one rank met each one rank better, or does each subdomain stand on its own for SEO purposes? Well, it’s a little of both Gordon because, again, a subdomain is treated as a separate entity by Google right. But there is the parent domain being the root domain. So you can the way I always looked at it was subdomains and other subdomains of the same root domain are called siblings, sibling domains, right and the parent domain being the root.

And so what happens is each one of the subdomains or sibling domains are their own standalone sites, which is good for protection purposes. And that’s what we’ve talked about. That’s the reason why I’ve always done that. Now, it’s funny because I really don’t do anything spammy anymore, at least not to the actual money sites. So I can probably get away with just doing the inner pages, but it’s still allowed. You’re still a, you know, and that it doesn’t mean that what we do right now, doesn’t couldn’t be considered spammy tomorrow, because we don’t work for Google. Right. And so even though I’ve never really had, at least for several years now, I haven’t had any issues with getting sites deindexed or penalize. I’ve always kept using subdomains specifically to minimize risk, right to reduce exposure, so to speak. Because as I’ve said before, if you put all of your location pages on the root, so their inner pages, right, and if you catch a penalty against any one of those pages, it could pull the whole site down and all of your other location pages.

Although again, as I said, the methods that we teach, haven’t knock on wood, they haven’t created any penalties that I’m aware of, for any of my own stuff, as well as any of our students, okay, that I’m aware of. And so you could probably get away with doing it on inner pages for management purposes, that would be much easier for there’s no doubt because you’d all you’d have just one site to manage. That said, though, just keep in mind that that’s putting all of your eggs in one basket. So if Google decides to take that basket, or destroy one of the eggs in that basket, it could very well hurt all the others as well. So back to the original question, a subdomain is kind of a standalone site in that if a subdomain was to catch a penalty, for some reason or another, it would only affect that subdomain, the route would be left intact would remain healthy and all of the other sibling domains or subdomains would also remain healthy, untouched, essentially, from that penalty that’s been levied against that one subdomain. So it’s isolates any potential penalty problems. However, if you were to catch a penalty against the root domain, it would automatically apply to all of the child domains or subdomains. Does that make sense? So that’s why we all I’ve done that in the past was to always protect the root against all odds, right? Protect the root. And then if I was going to do anything spammy, it would be on a subdomain level. And that was specifically for that reason.

However, what you can do is in this is something I’ve actually been testing recently, but I don’t have enough time passed to see in fact, I just talked about this on the last mastermind webinar, so 13 days ago, actually, about how to use subdomains and the root domain in conjunction to kind of power it up. And I can’t give away the the the method here because it can’t do that because it’s kind of an extension of something that we teach in our paid courses. But there is a way to still use somebody domains and use the root domain to kind of help power up the subdomains, with inner pages without doing anything that could catch it catch up a penalty to your route. But again, you know, as far as does the subdomains benefit each other, yes, it may not be quite as a quick effect or, or might not be as effective as inner pages. But here’s the thing, every one of those subdomains are still attached to the root, right. So again, the root domain being the parent domain is going to benefit now, you guys know we don’t talk. We don’t care much about metrics. We stopped caring about proprietary third-party metrics several years ago, but let’s just use one as an example because a lot of you guys will understand it this way. Let’s just use domain authority Moz’s metric and page authority is an example okay?

When you have a domain authority that sitewide including subdomains, right, so for example, if you have a domain authority of 20 five on the root, then your subdomains, when you create a new subdomain, it won’t automatically be 25. I don’t think so. But it will become it will benefit from the domain authority of the parent domain. And so what I have found over the years now that I’ve been developing these multi-location sites using subdomains is that at first, when you start developing, like, let’s say you start off with two locations, so you’ve got the root domain, and then to subdomains at, you know, each subdomain being four different location. And then you add, so you start optimizing, you know, doing what you do to get results. And then you add a third location. Well, that third location tech, you know, typically, according to my experience, will, will often start to get results faster than the first two dead, because it’s actually benefiting from some of the authority that has been accrued or you know, accumulated from the previous two subdomains and the route altogether, right. So as a whole, it’s now that that new subdomain is actually benefiting from the authority that has accrued from the previous two and the route itself if that makes sense. So then you add a fourth subdomain and you know, fourth location, and a fifth and a six. And what happens is I start to see each new location that I add, tends to respond quicker get results faster than the previous one, because it’s actually benefiting from the authority of the, you know, cluster essentially, that’s it’s the root domain, as well as its additional its other siblings. So, again, if you’re doing just inner pages, you’ll probably be going to get a faster effect from that. But I found that you know, as you continue to build out additional subdomains, they helped to, they kind of benefit or receive benefit from all of the previous subdomains as well. So they’re at their birth point, right. The moment that you create that subdomain, it really already has some inherent authority because of it being a subdomain of a root domain that has built authority or crude authority if that makes sense.

So, anyway, I can’t get into any more further of that, honestly, because I will be giving away too much. Come join the mastermind and will tell you all about it. So, Marco, do you want to comment on that at all or Hernan?

Marco: Now, just to validate a little bit what you’re talking about on domains, we see that domain subdomain. We see that when we do drive stacks, and we add additional folders and files, right? The more you add the more power that as you say, a cruise and I call it power. I don’t give a shit about domain authority or trust flow. I don’t give a crap about any of that its power. And so the more that you do have whatever it is that you’re doing inside the drive stack, the more power that you pushing through, and the more power that ends up wherever it is that you got that drives tech game. That’s why they work so well. Yeah. And so the more work that you do inside, the more keywords that you target, whether it’s keyword plus location or service, whatever it is that you’re doing.

You do more of it inside your drive stack. And before you know it, I mean, it’s just pushing tons of power wherever it is that you want to go. And we’ve seen people live from case studies that they even get an empty folder to rank before anything else rank. So it’s crazy the amount of power that you can do in this method, whether you’re doing it at the TL D and subdomain level or at the drive stack and G site level. Right?

Twitter Embed Code Not Displaying Properly In GSite

So if it says it says good day Semantic Mastery team thanks for this form to ask questions and get real answers. When optimizing the site, I framed Twitter the area stays blank with no message saying it won’t connect. Is that still okay? All right. I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But I know that if you just take a Twitter URL, tweet URL, a Twitter profile, URL, whatever and try to use an iframe create generator that it won’t show you have to go into Twitter developers and actually generate an embed code for it which you can do with like your timeline, tweets and stuff. So for example, you can take a Twitter profile and go to

The developers, I think it’s developers.twitter.com or something like that just do a Google search, you’ll see what I mean. And you can ask you, or even just go to Google and search, how do you create or embed a Twitter feed? And that’s what you would? Again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But if I was going to try, and I haven’t, so I haven’t tested it with G sites, guys, but you could probably it’s probably you’re using the wrong type of embed code. And that’s why it’s not displaying is what I’m saying. If you go generate the correct proper embed code from the Twitter developers site, or whatever, whatever it is, again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff, just like you can, you know, I recently I built Believe it or not, I built some PB ends recently because I was testing. I don’t use PB ends. Often guys, I very rarely use them. But I did build a few that I was testing and somebody product actually. And one of the things that they required was that you had made the site look, you know, very real. So one of the things that asked for was embedding a Twitter feed, so I had some persona profiles from some older since networks that I had built that had Twitter profiles with, you know, updates. And so I just had I had, that’s how I learned to go build this little embed code. And that’s a Twitter feed in bed, that you have to go to the developers console and sign into that account. And then you create it that way. And it gives you the specific embed code for that Twitter feed. So it’s probably that you’re using the wrong one. Now, I could be wrong guys. Because like said, I don’t do much of that stuff with Twitter at all. But I’m pretty sure if you’re trying to use just an iframe generator with a Twitter profile or something like that, it’s going to be blank, it’s going to not work.

Can You iFrame A Facebook Business Page?

Now, the next part of that question is, can you iframe in a Facebook business page? As far as I know, no, I Facebook has iframe breakers that won’t allow you to embed them anywhere using any sort of tool. If anybody has a different answer please speak up.

Hernan: I think you’re right Bradley on that on that and I haven’t personally tried to iframe Facebook but I know that you know, Facebook is kind of against that other than Facebook videos, you know that what you can allow and but you can embed that an iframe that but other than that, I wouldn’t know? Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah, I know. There are some like plugins and stuff that will allow you to embed a or you know, display a Facebook page. But it actually Yes, you have to connect it via API and all that kind of stuff like, so there are WordPress plugins that will do that. But as far as just an embed code from Facebook, I don’t think that’s possible. Once again, I don’t do much Facebook stuff. So I couldn’t tell you with all certainty, but I can I know that, like, if you try to just take a Facebook URL, and iframe it, it won’t it all, it will never display anywhere. I’ve never seen that ever work. So you have to use stuff that connects via API or authorize or what are they called Facebook apps or whatever. We actually create all that shit in order just to get even a Facebook page to show in like a widget area on a website.

Hernan: Um, so yeah, and they’re even more like they’re, they’re even more like restrictive with all of the privacy stuff that they’re going through. So that you may want to consider so.

Bradley: yeah, and then you try to iframe or when you try to embed a Facebook comments app you see what happens the previous couple on the Hangouts that and I get it I guess that’s because people can act that shit so right cool we’re going to keep moving. This chat is already thousand better than anything before devices that is cool thanks to Vaughn I’m glad you guys liked it for a bus the new battle call right revert I think that’s one of the guests says get repeatable oh that’s you that was you that’s maybe a farm setting up by a cat gotcha well mines Bradley hmm feisty forehead motherfucker in charge just in case you guys wondered what that was all about.

Do Semantic Mastery RYS Stacks Add More Value To An Existing Syndication Network & GMB Page?

Bradley: The humanoid says Marco I have an RYS Drive stack order pending and creating an RYS stack I have my syndication network complete in my see when creating a try so that I have my syndication network completed my GMB URL done. would it add more value when I have you build my RYS stacks. Thank you will thank you will

I know that was directed to Marco I’m gonna put my two cents in first before Marco answers. And if you already have your syndication network all your profile URLs to become target URLs as well. guys remember it’s just kind of about it’s just like internal linking right with your syndication network. It’s there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be powering up your tier one assets as well. So if you have all of that I would actually absolutely include those but Marco, that’s more question for you.

Marco: Yeah, I’m thinking that he wants to know if he should have the team, put them into the bill, by all means, that that’s your tier one branded, it should be included and then So when did he get the spreadsheet to hit with link building. That’s what’s going to get hit your tier one branded your GMB and everything that’s inside that drive stack. So yes, by all means, have at it, and you’re going to see some really good results. I’ve been getting a bunch of testimony.

By the way of about people having to build links to their dry stacks and then the drive stacks just going crazy. Yeah once they get some the link building done so yes have added the same thing with the ad ID page. I’ve done some testing with that and just and that’s what I loved about it. It’s one of the easiest methods because all you gotta do is go submit link building gig order to you know, I wouldn’t say to just anybody but Daddy has got it down to a science and just taking like the ad ID the iframe loop stuff that we’ve talked about and again our paid courses and almost all of them it’s available that that just works really well and again, that’s just what that magic of I frames and when you combine that with Dr. stacks or even dr stacks alone, but that’s part of it because of you know, iframe in that gets done in the site, everything else so it’s just incredibly powerful. And just hitting those that’s the beautiful thing about it guys is you know, the daddy has link building pack service which is in MYB, right? They’re still spam links, but he’s good at what he does. He’s a pro, he’s a professional, there’s no doubt and because of that, he knows how to make it really effective. And then when you use something like Google assets as the target or Amazon domain as the primary target, then it can take that kind of abuse like you can hammer away at it, and it can take it and filter it like a champ. In fact, it just kind of powers it up. Now, it’s not something that I would ever direct to the money site, but you can do you know what I mean, but you can do it two very powerful tier one assets, which is why we developed the way that we do so that’s why we don’t even use VPN, who needs a pbn? When we can use Google and Amazon assets to create the same effect and then you spam links as opposed to and I call them spam and everybody who want to do spam. But guys, I mean, that’s what link building tools do they create spam links, you can call them whatever you want. That’s really what they are. Right and so pbn links are technically spammed links to you might be buying links from you know, a domain that has good metrics, but unless it’s super well themed and all that they’re typically spam links anyways, you know what I mean? So it’s just it’s about how you use them and what you point them at. And so we recommend doing it the way that you know, at least our method we use our method for specifically for a reason. It’s efficient, and it works well. Right.

All right old school, like daddy says, will it be set up like this tomorrow? Hernan? What’s tomorrow?

Hernan: The webinar? webinar or mastermind? Yeah, now it’s gonna be on a mastermind. Yeah. It’ll be in the regular mastermind.

Bradley: Jim, think that’s when? Yeah, just the regular master the live mastermind webinar page, just like we’ve always been doing over there. I we haven’t had any problems with that over there. Now it’s in the bond site. Yeah, right. The membership site, right.

So as far as I know, we’ve never had any problems not one complaint with it over there. We had a problem with the Disqus chat app. on these pages for some reason I think it’s a Click Funnels issue like it just didn’t jive well but on the traditional mastermind webinars inside the membership site we haven’t ever had a complaint on that so if I’m wrong and you guys got some complaints about it to make them known to make them known over there in the Facebook group not here.

How Would You Strategize Sending Out An Email Campaign For Over A Year?

I blue panda whoever that is, is hey guys hope this Jeff Oh, what the hell? That’s the same as what we had before. Maybe not okay. Hey, guys hope this chat function works better than this. That piece of shit Facebook jet cheese. Yeah. Or Geez, you’re right. That was terrible. Okay, onto my question. I have a list for my niche that is big enough to send 1000 emails per day for over a year. Wow. This is simply a law of big numbers campaign for my client. These will be a one time blast. Either they respond or they don’t and the next class goes out the next day what would be the best way to approach a list of this size style of sending? I don’t know I’ve never spammed at that level before. Spam demon.

And that’s exactly what you’re doing. So the best person to answer that question is unfortunately not here. That’s Chris, our partner, Chris, he, he’s been doing that kind of work for four years. He can give you the best advice on that. But he’s not here. I’m sorry, he’s traveling. Yeah, the only thing I would know to say is that make sure that you have plenty of sending from domain email account. So in other words, making sure that you’ve got several many, many, many different email account setup, you know, that you can send from because you’re probably going to burn every single account that you send from like, almost every day.

I don’t know for sure, because it depends on how clean your list is. But typically, when you’re sending out mass emails like that, from a particular account, especially 1000 per day, you have to have accounts that have developed some sort of reputation for or else when you go to hit send on 1000 emails from an account that’s not really seasoned. It will you know, the is the internet search or email service providers will throttle those accounts and not the inbox. You know a bunch of them and also with people will start hitting the spam button which it’s likely if they were unsolicited emails, you will get a lot of people hitting the spam button, it will flag that particular domain account for or domain email excuse me for spam and so it will like they’ll just stop unboxing her nine you were going to comment? Yeah, yeah,

I agree with you. What I was about to say is that if you want to, you know, reach out to Chris just post in the Facebook group and maybe take him I don’t know if blue pen is on the mastermind group. Yeah, if you’re in the mastermind, we could get to it. You know, Chris will give you a lot of help out there. Otherwise, you could try it in the free Facebook group and I don’t know how much he’ll reveal about something like that there. But yeah, that’s the only problem like guys I talked about this a few weeks ago, but you know, I got I’ve unsubscribed from just about every single marketing list that I’m I’ve ever been on.

Over the last several months, because I decided to get really focused and you know, buying shiny objects and getting pitched new training, you know, methods and stuff like that all the time was really, and I, you know, there’s they’re kind of happens in cycles. I know a lot of you guys we’ve I’ve talked with a lot of our mastermind members over the last several months I do calls now with, you know, one on one calls with mastermind members, as a new member, you get a one on one call with one of us. And then every quarter or so I try to open up the ability to have another 30 minute call with me so I can kind of help you know, find out more about people in our mastermind and what struggles are going through and offer some guidance and and and, you know, 90 days to six months and three to six months, I have another call with them, find out if they made any progress, and they’re going to have new issues at that point. So one of the things that I’ve heard a lot through those calls without calling anybody out is that, you know, constantly being bombarded with different opportunities. And that’s because we’re all marketers, right? And so we’ve gone out and been signed up for whatever ours, which puts us on email list or we bought products, which puts us on email lists. And the next thing you know, we get hammered and you guys can all relate I’m sure you get hammered and hammered and hammered all the time with solicitation offers for training or for software or tools or services and all that kind of stuff. And you know,

I found that although they may be interesting and sometimes entertaining to go like watch webinars or to go check out the new sales page of the new tool that or software or WordPress plugin or whatever the hell it is, that typically just distracts from making any progress a real progress in my business and you know, over the years I’ve gone up and down with that, you know, sometimes a more susceptible to that other times I’m not but over the last many months now I really just started to unsubscribe from you know, ton of people’s emails. The reason I started saying that was because my oldest email account that is the account that I use, it’s a Yahoo account, Yahoo mail account, that’s the one that I used to always sign up for stuff like I don’t use my main Gmail accounts for for to sign up for lists or two webinars and things like that, because I knew that I get on a spam list, right and people would start spamming me. I’m still getting a ton of spam over there. But I’ve never voluntarily or I very, very rarely voluntarily used one of those primary Gmail type email addresses for signing up for that stuff. But I had a Yahoo mail account that was just getting spammed to death. And so over the last several months, I have really, really gotten a much better handle on that too. Because what I’ve done is I’ve gone every time I get an email now I just daily maintenance Now, every single day, I go through my Yahoo account probably two maybe three times a day. And if there’s an email that came is comes to me that I was unsolicited, which is you know, it’s they don’t come nearly as often as they used to now, I open up the email, I scroll right to the bottom finance subscribe button, I click it and make sure you know in the page reloads that it’s that in the net new tab that I’ve unsubscribed. Then I close that tab and I go back in and I click the spam button and Yahoo

And I do that every single day. And, you know, I used to get literally dozens, sometimes hundreds of emails per day, as many of you guys can probably relate. And now I swear to God, this is no bullshit over the last, probably five to six weeks now, I might get two or three emails per day and some days I don’t get any spam or unsolicited emails anymore. And that’s because I’ve gotten into the habit of doing that. So now it’s much more manageable like that, that email counts almost like a clean account. Now I do still get occasional as I said, Sometimes I’ll get one. Sometimes I get two or even three spam emails where it’s another internet marketer that bought my name off the list somewhere and sends me some bullshit email about the newest WordPress plugin. But I open up the email, I go straight to the unsubscribe button, unsubscribe and then come back and hit the spam button. And so it’s really really reduced that now the reason I said that was because if you start emailing people with unsolicited emails, you’re likely going to have many of them going to hit that spam button and that’s going to tank your deliverability, just like that. So if you’re going to be doing that sort of a strategy, you’re going to need a ton of email accounts ready, essentially one per day and even that, I don’t know that I’d send 1000 per day from one account. I probably split that up across multiple accounts. Okay.

Can You Still A GSite And Empower A Client’s Money Site If You Don’t Have Access To Their Email Account?

Anyways, it says when working with clients and you don’t have access to their email account, can you create a G site for them embed their properties and deliver the power to the money site URL? Well, yeah, I would never ask for access to my clients Google accounts ever never do I asked for that. So that’s how we do it right? We create and fits if it’s the same fits as I know that we used to be in our mastermind you should know that. And it might not be but ya know, like, for example, we just we create for clients created or even if for you guys that buy stuff from us, we’re going to go create a Google account.

To create your assets, the same thing with my clients, I go create a Google account, right or if they’re on G sweet, which some of them are, but most of them aren’t, then I have them add, you know, create an email or user account for me. And then I will end up, you know, giving me they, and then I asked them to give me permissions for to access the other accounts, like our Google Apps essentially within that account, right? That makes sense. And guys, you know, send a screencast video tutorial video to your users. So for example, I don’t ever ask for Google account access, but I do ask for to be added as a Google My Business Manager to their GMB for example. Right. So how do you do that? Well, unless you ask for their login details and go do it set, you know, add yourself as a manager, you know, add yourself as a manager, you got to ask them to do it. So if they don’t know how to do it, you got to provide them with instructions. The easiest way to do that, in my opinion, is to just do a quick tutorial video and show them hey, show him another GMB account. say look, login go to business google. com

Left-hand sidebar, you’re going to go click users, this little box is going to show you’re going to see a little plus icon at the top, click that to add new user at my email address from the drop-down, select, you know, manager, not site or not owner, just add me as a manager and then click you know, invite or send or whatever the button says, and I’ll get an invitation and then I’ll go be able to access you can do the same thing, if they have, you know, if you wanted it to be hosted on their main Google account, like a G site, which is unnecessary. But if you wanted to, you could give them instructions on a go into sites, google.com and add me as a user or manager, whatever, give me permission to be able to access that app within your Google account. However, it doesn’t matter because you can create the new account, build everything under the new account and then add your client Gmail account as a manager and then transfer ownership if you needed to. But again, it’s really unnecessary. It doesn’t matter who the Google account is. You can push the power the SEO juice anywhere you want. Okay.

Facebook Embed Post

Facebook also gives you an embed code for each post. Really? Yeah, it does. You so you can embed a Facebook post? Yes, that is correct. When did that start? Yeah,

it’s always been there. Yeah, it’s been rough. But Jay get. So if you get if you create, like, for instance, if you create, I don’t know, post with a link or a post with an image bubble, blah, then you can embed that somewhere. So it has to, it has to be on in your timeline. Or it has to be like, like on an open page. It can be like, if it’s a closed group, you can’t do anything with it. If if it’s a member, whatever it if it’s hidden or secret or Harvard. I don’t know too much about Facebook. I’m just there answering questions. Yeah, but if it’s open, right, and if it’s public, yes, Google will not Google Facebook will give you an embed code for that post or for whatever it

Is that you’re doing an image or video. But in those at one post though, right, correct, I don’t I think that you’re right that there’s an X breaker if you try to embed the like the entire face. Yeah. Yeah. And it has to come from a, from a Facebook page, if that makes sense. Not from a profile. You know, even if the profile is public, there’s a lot of, you know, stuff going on with privacy and whatnot. So it needs to come from a Facebook page, which is what your clients are going to be using anyway. Right. So um, so yeah, but that’s, that’s another caveat that you want to have in mind. Yeah, well, I mean, okay, so that may mean that that’s cool. And all but you know, unless you’re going to go in and update the iframe, or the embed code on a regular basis on your sites. I don’t see how I mean, obviously, if you’ve got I guess one post that you specifically trying to power up then yeah, and you could embed it and then hammer and you know, the G site or wherever you’ve got an embedded with links or something like that, but you know, typically I like to set up the iframe that is going to update dynamically. So I publish content and it’s on an automatically be in the iframe that I’m trying to power up. Do you know what I mean? So that’s cool. I didn’t, I wasn’t aware that you could embed individual posts, but say, that’s cool. I just learned something. Yep. Very cool. Yep.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords

Okay, so Gordon’s up again, it says, Thanks a lot for your previous answer. You’re welcome. He says, which brought up this question and used to be okay to use duplicate content for different sites targeting and local niche in different cities, just changing the location info one site for each city. But is that still true? I’ve never done that. Gordon. Honestly, I’ve always advocated for using unique content for all those and that’s specifically because, at some point, it could be, you know, toxic, it could you could end up catching a penalty because it is all duplicate content and duplicate content, guys, it’s supposed to be on the same domain, I get that, but on the same subdomains, you know, I don’t I don’t like that because it’s not as effective.

So what I’ve always always always suggested Yes, it has worked, you can just swap out location information. So like essentially the city modifier within the content. But it’s inexpensive to have a piece of content written and then have it rewritten, it’s a lot less expensive to have it rewritten than to have original content written for each, which by the way, when you go to a content farm, none of its original, all they’re doing is rewriting other content that they’ve scraped from the web, just so you’re aware of that, guys, when you go buy an article from a content farm. It is a rewritten article from something else on the web that they scraped, that’s it, there’s nobody there is actually writing an original article. all they’re doing is going easy and articles or somewhere else scraping an article and then rewriting it and usually it’s rewritten very poorly, by the way, but what I’m saying is you can go out and order an article, habit, you know, Britain for whatever, let’s say it’s 1000 word article, and it cost you 40 bucks. And then you have article rewrites. So let’s say you got six locations six subdomains where you got the URL

So that you paid 40 bucks for that, but then you order five rewrites, it might cost you $8 per rewrite. And now you’ve got six, original, unique, let’s just I’m using air quotes, but six or unique articles that are going to be more effective, in my opinion, long term, then having the same piece of content used across multiple sites where the only thing you change this is the location modifier. So that’s how I’ve done that, guys. I’ve got lead gen assets out there with subdomains with 20 subdomains, and they each have their own unique content. You know, and that’s specifically for that reason.

You know, again, it’s your call, I’ve always wanted to build long term assets that will rank and produce revenue for me for years, and I’ve got many of them. And so, you know, again, it’s all I always think about, it might be a little bit more expensive, a little bit more hassle on the front end. But what’s more of a hassle having assets that stopped producing or start performing poorly, because of you took shortcut cuts on the front end. You know if they’re producing revenue for you and again guys I don’t know if it works or not because I just don’t do it. I don’t know if it still works or not but other people may be able to comment and say oh it works fine that’s fine if you want to build your business that way do it you know, there’s it’s up to you. So I don’t recommend it though. Honestly, I try to do the work up front so that it will produce for me for the long term and I don’t have to continually worry about that shit.

Do you remember that when they first came out with pandas and penguins? What that what Google was asking for rich unique relevant content that’s updated on a regular basis how often they repeated that that was when the doofus what’s his name was still with with with the spam team gotten Matt Cutts right. When that was so that this is they kept asking them they didn’t they keep doing it over and over fresh, unique relevant content updated on a regular basis. But the telling you that for a reason the bot feeds of content

Now I know that people have done tests when and where, you know, they’ve used Latin. And it ranked, but there were still keywords interspersed with that Latin garbage that made it rank and that’s what the bite is feeding off. It’s feeding off that information that you’re giving it. And if you just keep pushing the same information over and over, we have seen this, again, we always test guys is why we can give you the answers to these questions. We’ve seen it time and again and local GMB Pro, that if you use different posts, that if you do it regularly, whatever regularly means for your niche because niches a different each unique niche will react differently to the post frequency. But we know that if you use fresh, unique, relevant content, update on a regular basis, fresh images or you make Google think that they’re fresh images

Marco: don’t even have to be, it’s just all about feeding them but the information that the bot is coded to look for. It’s looking for these variables, right the keyword in the right places, and in the right amount and then information. And, and it’s also looking at how a real person interacts with that content that you’re displaying. And whether that person finishes, whatever action they set out to do. All of this is part of it. Now, if you give people the same information over and over and over again until you change this is a little bit eventually that gets stale, and the bodies will be able to tell how people react to that. And the one thing you’d never want to do is you never want to send us a negative signal. We always concentrate on feeding them but the positive signals that’s going to get us positive actions and reactions going to get us better placement.

going to give us knowledge panel displays is going to get us calls. And it’s going to get us web site visits, and whatever else, right, whatever else that we’re looking for. But it all starts with your content. And yes, you can feed garbage. But eventually, what will happen is it’ll get the index just like it happened with that test website that was done. But that one was just to show what you could do with the content place in in in the right areas. And in the right amount. Guys, don’t trick yourself into thinking I’m going to take the easy way out and just change the location. Give people a reason to think about it. Think like the end user, right? If I’m going in there, and I’m looking to have my problem solved, and I keep seeing the same garbage over and over. I don’t want to deal with that. I want someone that that’s talking to me as the end user, and someone who’s going to help me solve my problem, become problem solvers and you’re going to go a long way towards really developing your content in a way that people are really going to enjoy interacting with, and in the long run is going to make your whole lot more money than taking shortcuts. Yeah.

Bradley: All right. We’re going to wrap it up here in a minute. But if it says mastermind calls from Bradley are awesome, relevant, timely, and actionable period. Thanks fits. Appreciate that. Yeah, I’ve enjoyed those calls. I had a couple of this week already. So again, I appreciate that. And then lastly, Gordon had posted one more question. That’s fine, Gordon, we appreciate that. He says, since relied on questions, I’ll ask something else. And this is a good question.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords?

He says when creating local Legion pages, is it better or easier to create a different page for each keyword or to try to rank a single location page for a bunch of different keywords? Yeah, so that’s a great question. Because several years ago, that was the method was to it was and that was the industry, right? The traditional knowledge, right was to go out and create. Each page would be optimized for a singular keyword. Right. That was really how silo structure was started.

be taught was, you go out and you create a silo and then you collect the supporting keywords for that silo and then you start creating posts within the silo that each post is optimized for one keyword. And that can still be applied today. But the thing is, though, you’re better off. So let me back up for a minute like with a complex silo, guys, there are categories and subcategories, right? And so what I’m saying is it used to be it was taught for a while the best practices was was to create your top-level keyword would be the top-level page, your top level category. And then for your next tier down of keywords, right, you’re supporting keywords, you would create a subcategory for each of those keywords. Right, so that’s a child page. And then at your post level, you would go out and take longer tail versions of your second tier keywords and you would create individual posts for each one of those that would link up to your sub-category pages, right. And so that was very granular It was like Uber optimized content. But after panda three or four I don’t even remember which one it was but it was sometime around 2014 timeframe we started noticing that that was less effective and now and that’s because guys the algorithm has gotten so much better and understanding natural language right it with AI and rank brain and all of that it understands content and its totality now a lot better than it used to, right it’s Google’s gotten incredibly advanced in that respect. And so now you can actually have longer form content that targets many semantically related keywords that’s the key right? So instead of going out and creating multiple pages, which is kind of a bitch anyway, and it’s it’s really makes as Marco was just talking about, it makes for a shitty user experience to if you go to a site and you have to click to another page to learn more about a very similar keyword anyways or product or service. So it just becomes repetition over and over and over again. And that’s less effective. So you’re better off creating a long-form piece of content, as it as a page that has a lot of your relevant similarly related keywords within that page, you can even have somewhat broader topics combined on the same page. So provided that they’re segregated by correct segments, or headings, and other words, sections within the page. So you know, and I’ve experimented with even ranking one page websites guys for, you know, multiple types of keywords like that wouldn’t even be in the same silo. But because of the way that you organize the content on the page, you can still rank for that. Here’s another example, using like Table of Contents or navigation links with hot links that go to those sections on the page. So that’s a good way to kind of set to analyze the content within a page to where you can only you can have one page that can rank for multiple keywords or themes that make sense. So to answer your question.

I wouldn’t go with optimizing for singular keywords. No, don’t get me wrong if you’re if you’re doing short blog posts, for example, I target, you know, with GMB posts a lot singular keywords, I mean, we still I still sprinkling variations of that single keyword, but there’s one primary keyword typically for me, for GMB posts. So you can still do that. But for your pages on your site, right, I’m talking about posts doing that. But for your pages on your site, which are typically what you’re trying to rank, you’re using posts to support the page, right? So for pages, I would recommend going with longer form content instead. That’s why I don’t usually recommend using complex silos anymore because you can accomplish it with simple silos, which is just categories and page, top-level categories and pages and then post supporting posts. Because complex structures are exactly what their name implies. They’re complex. They’re hard to manage. It’s hard to map out in the beginning, and it’s, it’s honestly, I think it’s overkill for most stuff, especially for local it’s overkill for most local things. All right.

Okay five o'clock I’ve got to go but I am going to read this comment real quick Jim says FYI everyone I placed an order for keyword research it was actually too good with too many keywords but they do break it down and suggest which keywords you should target which ones are good for silo and for supporting keywords. Don’t hesitate to order you won’t regret the quality time saved that it takes the guesswork out of it. shipped Marco trains them. Hello. Thanks, Jim. Jim. So, Alright guys, everybody. We appreciate you being here. I’m kind of digging this app even though it looks old school. It’s kind of cool. what you guys think. I like it. I mean, it works. Yeah. Works. Nobody’s complaining about getting locked out of any account so far. So we’ll see. All right, everybody. We’ll see you guys tomorrow on the mastermind and everyone else next week. Thanks for being here, man. Later see

So those are the announcements I think I nailed it. I might have something I’m going to paste Now I need to copy and paste some stuff on the thing so so yeah, there was we got I guess,

Bradley: Let me tease what you’re doing tomorrow or non so that you don’t have to toot your own horn. We got, we’ve been doing kind of a series in the mastermind. We’re probably going to end up launching a product around it anyways, but it’s Pay Per Click marketing for local and how to get results. We had a course that I produced about two, maybe two and a half years ago now called Local Kingpin. And it was specifically for using Google AdWords obviously, it’s now Google ads, but formerly Google AdWords for setting up lead gen assets and dry and using, you know, producing leads for local businesses, either on a client basis or even on a lead gen basis where you’re selling leads. And that worked really well. But the Google Ads dash dashboard, the whole platform has evolved a lot in the last two and a half years, considerably. And, you know, Google Ads themselves for search ads, excuse me, so search ads are rather expensive, you can still be profitable with that. There’s no question but it’s fucking expensive. So I’ve actually gotten away from using search ads and get more into using display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing obviously, and it works really well because the display ads are the display ad platform is so much better than it used to be. And you know, years ago when I had developed the local kingpin training

It was in that method that I was using display ads. Suck it, they might have worked, but it sucked setting them up because you had to go out in the order or design your own banner ads and you had designed them and all the various sizes that you wanted to display them in. So the leaderboard, and you know, this 350 by 250 rectangles, you know, all these different sizes. And so it was a pain in the ass, I would hire a graphic designer to develop a set of banner ads, and that would be one set of banner ads, and it might cost me 50 or 60 bucks. If you wanted to split test, you’d have to pay for another set of ads, right. And so it was just it was you’d have to wait for you know, several days to get them back from the designer. And it’s a real pain in the ass. And so it wasn’t very efficient. And it wasn’t very effective unless you really split test a lot and then found a winning combination of ads. But now what you can do on the Display Network when you’re setting up display ads is you actually just import photos, it photos and images and let your logo as well and

It’s a square version and rectangular version for each. And then you get to add up to five short headlines, one long headline and then up to five descriptions. So and there’s, you know, character limits for each. But then what Google does is Google will create responsive display ads out of just the images that you upload it to just regular photos will work or graphics, either one and then will automatically start rotating through your various headlines and descriptions to find out which gets the highest click through as an engagement. And then it will start to auto-optimize the campaign and start serving the ads that are the combinations that performed the best more and more often. And so it’s so much easier to set up a campaign now. And although obviously, display ads don’t convert nearly as well as like search ads do, it’s a fraction of the cost guys, and with the audience targeting that Google Display Network has now or Google has period. They have what they call in market audiences and life event audiences and you can even create custom intent audiences.

is now based on keywords which are really cool. I just started playing with that actually. And so if you go and find the you know in the in the in the in-market audience targeting settings if you can go in and find an end market audience for the businesses that you’re generating leads for then those tend to be very good and like for me for contractors typically a the average cost per click runs between anywhere between about 85 cents to $1 50. So somewhere in that range depending on what type of contractor it is that I’m generating leads for. And so that’s a fraction of the cost it just for it’s just quickly for some perspective here, for roofing leads, for example, it could in some of the areas that I do SEO work and generate leads for roofers of roofing. A click for search ads for roofing type keywords can cost 35 to $40 per click. And you know, typically an average conversion rate is somewhere anywhere between 32

40% right, so you’re talking about three clicks to get one lead at $35 per click, that’s $105 per lead. That, to me is incredibly expensive. But with those, if you can there in the market audience targeting, you can actually see that there are a roofing odd Roofing Services in the market audience, and you can use that for display ads. And maybe this says you pay $1 per click will just use a nice round number. And it might be a 10% conversion rate as opposed to 30 or even a 5% conversion rate, which means you need 20 clicks to get one lead, but 20 clicks at $1 to get one lead guy think about that as 20 bucks per lead as opposed to 100 bucks per lead when you’re using search ads. So keep that in mind and that’s for cold traffic. But also for remarketing purposes. Like honestly, if you’re not using remarketing in you’re doing Client Services, you’re nuts because it’s just an inexpensive way to get additional traffic back to

The site and even if that traffic doesn’t convert a lot, a lot of it will, but doesn’t convert into leads. It’s a great branding tool to help that business to gain brand recognition so that people will think of them and go search for their brand name when it’s time for them to need their product or service because they’re constantly reminded of that business. So, long story short,

we’re going to work we’ve been doing a series of training inside the mastermind about using Google ads for Local Lead Generation, not search ads, but display ads and YouTube ads and remarketing ads. And tomorrow Hernan being the Facebook marketing expert that he is, he’s coming into the mastermind to do a full training on how to use Facebook ads for Local Lead Generation. And then we’re actually going to probably be packaging all that up over the next 60 to 90 days at some point and then launching that as a separate product as kind of an update to local kingpin, but we’re going to rebrand it because it’s really going to be a whole new course. Did you guys lose me?

Hernan: No

Bradley: I got a frozen screen. Okay, yeah, there you go. Okay, so anyways, just kind of wanted to teach you guys a little bit on what’s going on in the mastermind tomorrow. Those of you that are the mastermind a lot there’s been a discussion thread by the way or not, did you see the discussion thread in the Facebook group, but are saying that we’re going to rope you into actually contributing more than just the mastermind because they want a full soup to nuts type train. Yeah. So yeah, well, yeah, if there’s a need for it,  you know, the mastermind has the privilege that you know, if you guys there’s a real need about, you know, a specific type of training that you guys want to go after, then we can make a series there’s no problem about that. We’re all about, you know, serving our members as much as we possibly can. So that if that, you know, we have a good response tomorrow, that’s potentially going to happen, at least initially within the mastermind, and then we’ll go from there. But yeah, my idea is to cover as much terrain as possible tomorrow specifically, and then if we need to do another iteration of the, of the training or you know, walk you guys through a couple of case studies. So for instance, I was going through one of the clients that I manage, and we, so he’s a chiropractor. He’s a local chiropractor, and he has four clinics in Dallas. And over the past, I would say over the past six months, we have spent around $160,000 in advertising, and we have generated almost 4000 confirm appointments to those four offices. Now that is rough. So he is charging $49 per appointment, right? It’s an intra massage offer. So he’s charging $49 per appointment. We’re getting him we’re getting those appointments for around 39 to $40. So he’s, you know, making money on the front end, but that’s not even the best thing. The best thing is that each customer forth to him on average $300 you know because they show up to his office and they buy a bunch of stuff and they buy additional massages and they buy so that’s

Average and that’s on the low side. So there’s, there’s effectively we have been moving the needle real hard. He’s super happy Of course because he’s growing. He’s expanding locations and whatnot, and some of the stuff that we were able to implement for him. We will be talking about tomorrow on the mastermind, so it’s going to be pretty cool. Yeah, awesome. Yeah. Alright, so the last thing we’re going to tease before we get into questions, which we were kind of just hoping that more questions would fill in this chat box anyways, uh, we’ve got video lead gen system

to Dotto really is launching next week, next Tuesday. As a matter of fact, we’re going to talk about it well, the first part of next week’s webinar, Hump Day hangouts is going to be where we’re going to, you know, kind of get into some detail about what it’s about and all that because I completely updated it so that still the old training is there, the old method, which I did for years, but over the last several months, I’ve been really redeveloping that method to make it more streamlined and efficient, something that a lot of it can be outsourced, but also just to make it to where, even if you were doing this yourself like, you know, managing the all of the video lead gen or video email campaigns on your own, I don’t recommend that. But if a lot of people still going to do it on their own anyway, it’s a lot more efficient now to where what used to take roughly 20 to 30 minutes per video email to send out. Now what will take you just two to three minutes No kidding, there’s there will be a setup period on the front end where you can’t get into the method here, there’ll be a setup period where it might take you an hour to get everything set up. But then from there for every prospect you want to mail to, it’s literally two to three minutes. And that’s it. And so it’s a hell of a lot more efficient. And I’ve tested a lot of different follow-up methods from that as well to once you are notified of engagement and I talked about all of this in the training and found several different methods that work really well to the kind of get the conversation going and stuff and so I go into great detail. It’s basically a whole new course but you’re still going to get the original version, as well as the Everything’s under

The same membership site now. So there’s the original version, which still works, but it’s a bit more time-consuming. And then there’s the newer version that can be applied to pretty much any sort of marketing service I use specifically one, were really two types of methods for monetizing it. In the examples and in the training, I talked about how to use it for monetizing lead gen assets. And then I also talked about for client services, if you’re just doing outreach for clients instead of lead generation service providers. Then, you know, there’s a method I talked about specifically optimizing GMB stuff, but it can be modified or an applied to pretty much any sort of service that you offer. So if you’re a digital marketer does Facebook ads like her non for example, you could still use the video lead gen system, you just obviously are going to talk about how you can get results with Facebook as opposed to how you can get results with Google My Business. So any of you guys one of the things that we do is we surveyed you guys on a consistent basis to find out what what-what our audience needs, and something that comes up all the time is client getting right? securing clients and that kind of stuff. And so that’s really what this was all about. It’s so that you guys can go out and least get the conversation started. It’s not sales training. I’m not real good at sales unless I got a referral, like been referral but as far as getting the conversation going for prospecting, it’s an outstanding way to do it’s very unique, you’ll get a lot of responses that way. And then it’s really going to be up to you to present your offer in such a way that you close the client, you know what I mean? Or the prospect at that point. So anyways, be on the lookout for that guys. Next week, we’re going to do like we typically have done in the past, which is a limited offer on the front end for 24 hours and then the price will go up. And that’s typically how we do that. So be on the lookout for that next week.

Okay, anything else? I think we’re good.

Alright, cool. Let’s get into questions. Alright, so with our 1989 looking chat box, which kind of cool though. Let’s get into it will start at the top

What Are Your Thoughts On Keyword Research Ninja?

KT says what are your thoughts on keyword research ninja? I have no thoughts on it whatsoever I’ve never used it I really don’t use any keyword research tools anymore other than Power Suggest Pro, Google AdWords you know, the Google Ads keyword planner for because I still do PPC stuff. And then we have our own in-house keyword research product that is like anytime you need keywords, that’s, you know, our go-to source now is MGYB? We have the keyword research done over there because it takes hours to compile a good list of keywords. Really, you can spend hours doing that and organizing the keywords into silos and you know, proper themes and that kind of stuff. And that’s what our, you know, our product on keyword research is specifically it’s you know, our assistant or employee that does all of that have access to multiple tools, SEM Rush, Power Suggest Pro, you know, all different kinds of tools that she uses to actually develop these reports and puts them into silos and all that kind of stuff. So different type of intent keywords, commercial intent, informational queries, that kind of stuff. So it just makes it super easy. So honestly, I can’t give you an opinion on any of those keyword tools because I just don’t use them. It just requires too much time in my opinion. And I’d rather outsource that or use a simple tool when I’m going to do it myself such as Power Suggest Pro. Marco or anybody else wants to comment on any of those.

Marco: I agree that that’s all I use. I use our keyword research. I mean, I taught them how to do it for a reason it’s based on the way that you do it. And the way that I do it, which is Google Trends and power suggest Pro with Google ads, right the Keyword Planner Tool, and but the basis is right there. Then we go into everything else and we drill down as much as we can get as much information as possible go to Answer the Public. We just use just a ton of different tools that we can get all of the keywords. I mean, you get thousands sometimes I see our report come back, and it’s 7, 8, 9 thousand keywords strong. And I’m thinking, this is like the best way to take down a market. Let me if you really need to start and understand your market and the words involved in your market. There’s nothing better. I mean, I don’t know I can’t speak on keyword research Ninja, it might be fabulous. But I can’t say anything other than the way that we have it set up works perfectly well for what we do. Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah. And again, it’s the amount of time that goes into that, you know, I got away from doing it myself because it just takes too much time. Especially to Oregon. Like it’s easy to spit out a bunch of keywords with a tool but to organize them in proper themes, you know, and basically silos and that kind of stuff and intent type people words like that’s yet I mean, as far as I know, that’s manual. I don’t know tools that actually do that maybe keyword research and into does that. I don’t know, I don’t even look at tools like that anymore. So, unfortunately, I can’t give you a good answer to that.

Does Using Subdomains Produce Better SEO Juice Than Using Pages For Multi-City Local Lead Gen Site?

Gordon’s up he says thank you very much again for the help you provide on hump days. You’re welcome. He says he when setting up a multi-city local lead gen site you have advised in the past few subdomains of the main domain for each city instead of using a page under the main domain. When using pages, I know that the SEO juice can be spread among all the city pages, but when using subdomains is the SEO just spread among all the subdomains to help each other one rank met each one rank better, or does each subdomain stand on its own for SEO purposes? Well, it’s a little of both Gordon because, again, a subdomain is treated as a separate entity by Google right. But there is the parent domain being the root domain. So you can the way I always looked at it was subdomains and other subdomains of the same root domain are called siblings, sibling domains, right and the parent domain being the root.

And so what happens is each one of the subdomains or sibling domains are their own standalone sites, which is good for protection purposes. And that’s what we’ve talked about. That’s the reason why I’ve always done that. Now, it’s funny because I really don’t do anything spammy anymore, at least not to the actual money sites. So I can probably get away with just doing the inner pages, but it’s still allowed. You’re still a, you know, and that it doesn’t mean that what we do right now, doesn’t couldn’t be considered spammy tomorrow, because we don’t work for Google. Right. And so even though I’ve never really had, at least for several years now, I haven’t had any issues with getting sites deindexed or penalize. I’ve always kept using subdomains specifically to minimize risk, right to reduce exposure, so to speak. Because as I’ve said before, if you put all of your location pages on the root, so their inner pages, right, and if you catch a penalty against any one of those pages, it could pull the whole site down and all of your other location pages.

Although again, as I said, the methods that we teach, haven’t knock on wood, they haven’t created any penalties that I’m aware of, for any of my own stuff, as well as any of our students, okay, that I’m aware of. And so you could probably get away with doing it on inner pages for management purposes, that would be much easier for there’s no doubt because you’d all you’d have just one site to manage. That said, though, just keep in mind that that’s putting all of your eggs in one basket. So if Google decides to take that basket, or destroy one of the eggs in that basket, it could very well hurt all the others as well. So back to the original question, a subdomain is kind of a standalone site in that if a subdomain was to catch a penalty, for some reason or another, it would only affect that subdomain, the route would be left intact would remain healthy and all of the other sibling domains or subdomains would also remain healthy, untouched, essentially, from that penalty that’s been levied against that one subdomain. So it’s isolates any potential penalty problems. However, if you were to catch a penalty against the root domain, it would automatically apply to all of the child domains or subdomains. Does that make sense? So that’s why we all I’ve done that in the past was to always protect the root against all odds, right? Protect the root. And then if I was going to do anything spammy, it would be on a subdomain level. And that was specifically for that reason.

However, what you can do is in this is something I’ve actually been testing recently, but I don’t have enough time passed to see in fact, I just talked about this on the last mastermind webinar, so 13 days ago, actually, about how to use subdomains and the root domain in conjunction to kind of power it up. And I can’t give away the the the method here because it can’t do that because it’s kind of an extension of something that we teach in our paid courses. But there is a way to still use somebody domains and use the root domain to kind of help power up the subdomains, with inner pages without doing anything that could catch it catch up a penalty to your route. But again, you know, as far as does the subdomains benefit each other, yes, it may not be quite as a quick effect or, or might not be as effective as inner pages. But here’s the thing, every one of those subdomains are still attached to the root, right. So again, the root domain being the parent domain is going to benefit now, you guys know we don’t talk. We don’t care much about metrics. We stopped caring about proprietary third-party metrics several years ago, but let’s just use one as an example because a lot of you guys will understand it this way. Let’s just use domain authority Moz’s metric and page authority is an example okay?

When you have a domain authority that sitewide including subdomains, right, so for example, if you have a domain authority of 20 five on the root, then your subdomains, when you create a new subdomain, it won’t automatically be 25. I don’t think so. But it will become it will benefit from the domain authority of the parent domain. And so what I have found over the years now that I’ve been developing these multi-location sites using subdomains is that at first, when you start developing, like, let’s say you start off with two locations, so you’ve got the root domain, and then to subdomains at, you know, each subdomain being four different location. And then you add, so you start optimizing, you know, doing what you do to get results. And then you add a third location. Well, that third location tech, you know, typically, according to my experience, will, will often start to get results faster than the first two dead, because it’s actually benefiting from some of the authority that has been accrued or you know, accumulated from the previous two subdomains and the route altogether, right. So as a whole, it’s now that that new subdomain is actually benefiting from the authority that has accrued from the previous two and the route itself if that makes sense. So then you add a fourth subdomain and you know, fourth location, and a fifth and a six. And what happens is I start to see each new location that I add, tends to respond quicker get results faster than the previous one, because it’s actually benefiting from the authority of the, you know, cluster essentially, that’s it’s the root domain, as well as its additional its other siblings. So, again, if you’re doing just inner pages, you’ll probably be going to get a faster effect from that. But I found that you know, as you continue to build out additional subdomains, they helped to, they kind of benefit or receive benefit from all of the previous subdomains as well. So they’re at their birth point, right. The moment that you create that subdomain, it really already has some inherent authority because of it being a subdomain of a root domain that has built authority or crude authority if that makes sense.

So, anyway, I can’t get into any more further of that, honestly, because I will be giving away too much. Come join the mastermind and will tell you all about it. So, Marco, do you want to comment on that at all or Hernan?

Marco: Now, just to validate a little bit what you’re talking about on domains, we see that domain subdomain. We see that when we do drive stacks, and we add additional folders and files, right? The more you add the more power that as you say, a cruise and I call it power. I don’t give a shit about domain authority or trust flow. I don’t give a crap about any of that its power. And so the more that you do have whatever it is that you’re doing inside the drive stack, the more power that you pushing through, and the more power that ends up wherever it is that you got that drives tech game. That’s why they work so well. Yeah. And so the more work that you do inside, the more keywords that you target, whether it’s keyword plus location or service, whatever it is that you’re doing.

You do more of it inside your drive stack. And before you know it, I mean, it’s just pushing tons of power wherever it is that you want to go. And we’ve seen people live from case studies that they even get an empty folder to rank before anything else rank. So it’s crazy the amount of power that you can do in this method, whether you’re doing it at the TL D and subdomain level or at the drive stack and G site level. Right?

Twitter Embed Code Not Displaying Properly In GSite

So if it says it says good day Semantic Mastery team thanks for this form to ask questions and get real answers. When optimizing the site, I framed Twitter the area stays blank with no message saying it won’t connect. Is that still okay? All right. I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But I know that if you just take a Twitter URL, tweet URL, a Twitter profile, URL, whatever and try to use an iframe create generator that it won’t show you have to go into Twitter developers and actually generate an embed code for it which you can do with like your timeline, tweets and stuff. So for example, you can take a Twitter profile and go to

The developers, I think it’s developers.twitter.com or something like that just do a Google search, you’ll see what I mean. And you can ask you, or even just go to Google and search, how do you create or embed a Twitter feed? And that’s what you would? Again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff. But if I was going to try, and I haven’t, so I haven’t tested it with G sites, guys, but you could probably it’s probably you’re using the wrong type of embed code. And that’s why it’s not displaying is what I’m saying. If you go generate the correct proper embed code from the Twitter developers site, or whatever, whatever it is, again, I don’t do much Twitter stuff, just like you can, you know, I recently I built Believe it or not, I built some PB ends recently because I was testing. I don’t use PB ends. Often guys, I very rarely use them. But I did build a few that I was testing and somebody product actually. And one of the things that they required was that you had made the site look, you know, very real. So one of the things that asked for was embedding a Twitter feed, so I had some persona profiles from some older since networks that I had built that had Twitter profiles with, you know, updates. And so I just had I had, that’s how I learned to go build this little embed code. And that’s a Twitter feed in bed, that you have to go to the developers console and sign into that account. And then you create it that way. And it gives you the specific embed code for that Twitter feed. So it’s probably that you’re using the wrong one. Now, I could be wrong guys. Because like said, I don’t do much of that stuff with Twitter at all. But I’m pretty sure if you’re trying to use just an iframe generator with a Twitter profile or something like that, it’s going to be blank, it’s going to not work.

Can You iFrame A Facebook Business Page?

Now, the next part of that question is, can you iframe in a Facebook business page? As far as I know, no, I Facebook has iframe breakers that won’t allow you to embed them anywhere using any sort of tool. If anybody has a different answer please speak up.

Hernan: I think you’re right Bradley on that on that and I haven’t personally tried to iframe Facebook but I know that you know, Facebook is kind of against that other than Facebook videos, you know that what you can allow and but you can embed that an iframe that but other than that, I wouldn’t know? Yeah.

Bradley: Yeah, I know. There are some like plugins and stuff that will allow you to embed a or you know, display a Facebook page. But it actually Yes, you have to connect it via API and all that kind of stuff like, so there are WordPress plugins that will do that. But as far as just an embed code from Facebook, I don’t think that’s possible. Once again, I don’t do much Facebook stuff. So I couldn’t tell you with all certainty, but I can I know that, like, if you try to just take a Facebook URL, and iframe it, it won’t it all, it will never display anywhere. I’ve never seen that ever work. So you have to use stuff that connects via API or authorize or what are they called Facebook apps or whatever. We actually create all that shit in order just to get even a Facebook page to show in like a widget area on a website.

Hernan: Um, so yeah, and they’re even more like they’re, they’re even more like restrictive with all of the privacy stuff that they’re going through. So that you may want to consider so.

Bradley: yeah, and then you try to iframe or when you try to embed a Facebook comments app you see what happens the previous couple on the Hangouts that and I get it I guess that’s because people can act that shit so right cool we’re going to keep moving. This chat is already thousand better than anything before devices that is cool thanks to Vaughn I’m glad you guys liked it for a bus the new battle call right revert I think that’s one of the guests says get repeatable oh that’s you that was you that’s maybe a farm setting up by a cat gotcha well mines Bradley hmm feisty forehead motherfucker in charge just in case you guys wondered what that was all about.

Do Semantic Mastery RYS Stacks Add More Value To An Existing Syndication Network & GMB Page?

Bradley: The humanoid says Marco I have an RYS Drive stack order pending and creating an RYS stack I have my syndication network complete in my see when creating a try so that I have my syndication network completed my GMB URL done. would it add more value when I have you build my RYS stacks. Thank you will thank you will

I know that was directed to Marco I’m gonna put my two cents in first before Marco answers. And if you already have your syndication network all your profile URLs to become target URLs as well. guys remember it’s just kind of about it’s just like internal linking right with your syndication network. It’s there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be powering up your tier one assets as well. So if you have all of that I would actually absolutely include those but Marco, that’s more question for you.

Marco: Yeah, I’m thinking that he wants to know if he should have the team, put them into the bill, by all means, that that’s your tier one branded, it should be included and then So when did he get the spreadsheet to hit with link building. That’s what’s going to get hit your tier one branded your GMB and everything that’s inside that drive stack. So yes, by all means, have at it, and you’re going to see some really good results. I’ve been getting a bunch of testimony.

By the way of about people having to build links to their dry stacks and then the drive stacks just going crazy. Yeah once they get some the link building done so yes have added the same thing with the ad ID page. I’ve done some testing with that and just and that’s what I loved about it. It’s one of the easiest methods because all you gotta do is go submit link building gig order to you know, I wouldn’t say to just anybody but Daddy has got it down to a science and just taking like the ad ID the iframe loop stuff that we’ve talked about and again our paid courses and almost all of them it’s available that that just works really well and again, that’s just what that magic of I frames and when you combine that with Dr. stacks or even dr stacks alone, but that’s part of it because of you know, iframe in that gets done in the site, everything else so it’s just incredibly powerful. And just hitting those that’s the beautiful thing about it guys is you know, the daddy has link building pack service which is in MYB, right? They’re still spam links, but he’s good at what he does. He’s a pro, he’s a professional, there’s no doubt and because of that, he knows how to make it really effective. And then when you use something like Google assets as the target or Amazon domain as the primary target, then it can take that kind of abuse like you can hammer away at it, and it can take it and filter it like a champ. In fact, it just kind of powers it up. Now, it’s not something that I would ever direct to the money site, but you can do you know what I mean, but you can do it two very powerful tier one assets, which is why we developed the way that we do so that’s why we don’t even use VPN, who needs a pbn? When we can use Google and Amazon assets to create the same effect and then you spam links as opposed to and I call them spam and everybody who want to do spam. But guys, I mean, that’s what link building tools do they create spam links, you can call them whatever you want. That’s really what they are. Right and so pbn links are technically spammed links to you might be buying links from you know, a domain that has good metrics, but unless it’s super well themed and all that they’re typically spam links anyways, you know what I mean? So it’s just it’s about how you use them and what you point them at. And so we recommend doing it the way that you know, at least our method we use our method for specifically for a reason. It’s efficient, and it works well. Right.

All right old school, like daddy says, will it be set up like this tomorrow? Hernan? What’s tomorrow?

Hernan: The webinar? webinar or mastermind? Yeah, now it’s gonna be on a mastermind. Yeah. It’ll be in the regular mastermind.

Bradley: Jim, think that’s when? Yeah, just the regular master the live mastermind webinar page, just like we’ve always been doing over there. I we haven’t had any problems with that over there. Now it’s in the bond site. Yeah, right. The membership site, right.

So as far as I know, we’ve never had any problems not one complaint with it over there. We had a problem with the Disqus chat app. on these pages for some reason I think it’s a Click Funnels issue like it just didn’t jive well but on the traditional mastermind webinars inside the membership site we haven’t ever had a complaint on that so if I’m wrong and you guys got some complaints about it to make them known to make them known over there in the Facebook group not here.

How Would You Strategize Sending Out An Email Campaign For Over A Year?

I blue panda whoever that is, is hey guys hope this Jeff Oh, what the hell? That’s the same as what we had before. Maybe not okay. Hey, guys hope this chat function works better than this. That piece of shit Facebook jet cheese. Yeah. Or Geez, you’re right. That was terrible. Okay, onto my question. I have a list for my niche that is big enough to send 1000 emails per day for over a year. Wow. This is simply a law of big numbers campaign for my client. These will be a one time blast. Either they respond or they don’t and the next class goes out the next day what would be the best way to approach a list of this size style of sending? I don’t know I’ve never spammed at that level before. Spam demon.

And that’s exactly what you’re doing. So the best person to answer that question is unfortunately not here. That’s Chris, our partner, Chris, he, he’s been doing that kind of work for four years. He can give you the best advice on that. But he’s not here. I’m sorry, he’s traveling. Yeah, the only thing I would know to say is that make sure that you have plenty of sending from domain email account. So in other words, making sure that you’ve got several many, many, many different email account setup, you know, that you can send from because you’re probably going to burn every single account that you send from like, almost every day.

I don’t know for sure, because it depends on how clean your list is. But typically, when you’re sending out mass emails like that, from a particular account, especially 1000 per day, you have to have accounts that have developed some sort of reputation for or else when you go to hit send on 1000 emails from an account that’s not really seasoned. It will you know, the is the internet search or email service providers will throttle those accounts and not the inbox. You know a bunch of them and also with people will start hitting the spam button which it’s likely if they were unsolicited emails, you will get a lot of people hitting the spam button, it will flag that particular domain account for or domain email excuse me for spam and so it will like they’ll just stop unboxing her nine you were going to comment? Yeah, yeah,

I agree with you. What I was about to say is that if you want to, you know, reach out to Chris just post in the Facebook group and maybe take him I don’t know if blue pen is on the mastermind group. Yeah, if you’re in the mastermind, we could get to it. You know, Chris will give you a lot of help out there. Otherwise, you could try it in the free Facebook group and I don’t know how much he’ll reveal about something like that there. But yeah, that’s the only problem like guys I talked about this a few weeks ago, but you know, I got I’ve unsubscribed from just about every single marketing list that I’m I’ve ever been on.

Over the last several months, because I decided to get really focused and you know, buying shiny objects and getting pitched new training, you know, methods and stuff like that all the time was really, and I, you know, there’s they’re kind of happens in cycles. I know a lot of you guys we’ve I’ve talked with a lot of our mastermind members over the last several months I do calls now with, you know, one on one calls with mastermind members, as a new member, you get a one on one call with one of us. And then every quarter or so I try to open up the ability to have another 30 minute call with me so I can kind of help you know, find out more about people in our mastermind and what struggles are going through and offer some guidance and and and, you know, 90 days to six months and three to six months, I have another call with them, find out if they made any progress, and they’re going to have new issues at that point. So one of the things that I’ve heard a lot through those calls without calling anybody out is that, you know, constantly being bombarded with different opportunities. And that’s because we’re all marketers, right? And so we’ve gone out and been signed up for whatever ours, which puts us on email list or we bought products, which puts us on email lists. And the next thing you know, we get hammered and you guys can all relate I’m sure you get hammered and hammered and hammered all the time with solicitation offers for training or for software or tools or services and all that kind of stuff. And you know,

I found that although they may be interesting and sometimes entertaining to go like watch webinars or to go check out the new sales page of the new tool that or software or WordPress plugin or whatever the hell it is, that typically just distracts from making any progress a real progress in my business and you know, over the years I’ve gone up and down with that, you know, sometimes a more susceptible to that other times I’m not but over the last many months now I really just started to unsubscribe from you know, ton of people’s emails. The reason I started saying that was because my oldest email account that is the account that I use, it’s a Yahoo account, Yahoo mail account, that’s the one that I used to always sign up for stuff like I don’t use my main Gmail accounts for for to sign up for lists or two webinars and things like that, because I knew that I get on a spam list, right and people would start spamming me. I’m still getting a ton of spam over there. But I’ve never voluntarily or I very, very rarely voluntarily used one of those primary Gmail type email addresses for signing up for that stuff. But I had a Yahoo mail account that was just getting spammed to death. And so over the last several months, I have really, really gotten a much better handle on that too. Because what I’ve done is I’ve gone every time I get an email now I just daily maintenance Now, every single day, I go through my Yahoo account probably two maybe three times a day. And if there’s an email that came is comes to me that I was unsolicited, which is you know, it’s they don’t come nearly as often as they used to now, I open up the email, I scroll right to the bottom finance subscribe button, I click it and make sure you know in the page reloads that it’s that in the net new tab that I’ve unsubscribed. Then I close that tab and I go back in and I click the spam button and Yahoo

And I do that every single day. And, you know, I used to get literally dozens, sometimes hundreds of emails per day, as many of you guys can probably relate. And now I swear to God, this is no bullshit over the last, probably five to six weeks now, I might get two or three emails per day and some days I don’t get any spam or unsolicited emails anymore. And that’s because I’ve gotten into the habit of doing that. So now it’s much more manageable like that, that email counts almost like a clean account. Now I do still get occasional as I said, Sometimes I’ll get one. Sometimes I get two or even three spam emails where it’s another internet marketer that bought my name off the list somewhere and sends me some bullshit email about the newest WordPress plugin. But I open up the email, I go straight to the unsubscribe button, unsubscribe and then come back and hit the spam button. And so it’s really really reduced that now the reason I said that was because if you start emailing people with unsolicited emails, you’re likely going to have many of them going to hit that spam button and that’s going to tank your deliverability, just like that. So if you’re going to be doing that sort of a strategy, you’re going to need a ton of email accounts ready, essentially one per day and even that, I don’t know that I’d send 1000 per day from one account. I probably split that up across multiple accounts. Okay.

Can You Still A GSite And Empower A Client’s Money Site If You Don’t Have Access To Their Email Account?

Anyways, it says when working with clients and you don’t have access to their email account, can you create a G site for them embed their properties and deliver the power to the money site URL? Well, yeah, I would never ask for access to my clients Google accounts ever never do I asked for that. So that’s how we do it right? We create and fits if it’s the same fits as I know that we used to be in our mastermind you should know that. And it might not be but ya know, like, for example, we just we create for clients created or even if for you guys that buy stuff from us, we’re going to go create a Google account.

To create your assets, the same thing with my clients, I go create a Google account, right or if they’re on G sweet, which some of them are, but most of them aren’t, then I have them add, you know, create an email or user account for me. And then I will end up, you know, giving me they, and then I asked them to give me permissions for to access the other accounts, like our Google Apps essentially within that account, right? That makes sense. And guys, you know, send a screencast video tutorial video to your users. So for example, I don’t ever ask for Google account access, but I do ask for to be added as a Google My Business Manager to their GMB for example. Right. So how do you do that? Well, unless you ask for their login details and go do it set, you know, add yourself as a manager, you know, add yourself as a manager, you got to ask them to do it. So if they don’t know how to do it, you got to provide them with instructions. The easiest way to do that, in my opinion, is to just do a quick tutorial video and show them hey, show him another GMB account. say look, login go to business google. com

Left-hand sidebar, you’re going to go click users, this little box is going to show you’re going to see a little plus icon at the top, click that to add new user at my email address from the drop-down, select, you know, manager, not site or not owner, just add me as a manager and then click you know, invite or send or whatever the button says, and I’ll get an invitation and then I’ll go be able to access you can do the same thing, if they have, you know, if you wanted it to be hosted on their main Google account, like a G site, which is unnecessary. But if you wanted to, you could give them instructions on a go into sites, google.com and add me as a user or manager, whatever, give me permission to be able to access that app within your Google account. However, it doesn’t matter because you can create the new account, build everything under the new account and then add your client Gmail account as a manager and then transfer ownership if you needed to. But again, it’s really unnecessary. It doesn’t matter who the Google account is. You can push the power the SEO juice anywhere you want. Okay.

Facebook Embed Post

Facebook also gives you an embed code for each post. Really? Yeah, it does. You so you can embed a Facebook post? Yes, that is correct. When did that start? Yeah,

it’s always been there. Yeah, it’s been rough. But Jay get. So if you get if you create, like, for instance, if you create, I don’t know, post with a link or a post with an image bubble, blah, then you can embed that somewhere. So it has to, it has to be on in your timeline. Or it has to be like, like on an open page. It can be like, if it’s a closed group, you can’t do anything with it. If if it’s a member, whatever it if it’s hidden or secret or Harvard. I don’t know too much about Facebook. I’m just there answering questions. Yeah, but if it’s open, right, and if it’s public, yes, Google will not Google Facebook will give you an embed code for that post or for whatever it

Is that you’re doing an image or video. But in those at one post though, right, correct, I don’t I think that you’re right that there’s an X breaker if you try to embed the like the entire face. Yeah. Yeah. And it has to come from a, from a Facebook page, if that makes sense. Not from a profile. You know, even if the profile is public, there’s a lot of, you know, stuff going on with privacy and whatnot. So it needs to come from a Facebook page, which is what your clients are going to be using anyway. Right. So um, so yeah, but that’s, that’s another caveat that you want to have in mind. Yeah, well, I mean, okay, so that may mean that that’s cool. And all but you know, unless you’re going to go in and update the iframe, or the embed code on a regular basis on your sites. I don’t see how I mean, obviously, if you’ve got I guess one post that you specifically trying to power up then yeah, and you could embed it and then hammer and you know, the G site or wherever you’ve got an embedded with links or something like that, but you know, typically I like to set up the iframe that is going to update dynamically. So I publish content and it’s on an automatically be in the iframe that I’m trying to power up. Do you know what I mean? So that’s cool. I didn’t, I wasn’t aware that you could embed individual posts, but say, that’s cool. I just learned something. Yep. Very cool. Yep.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords

Okay, so Gordon’s up again, it says, Thanks a lot for your previous answer. You’re welcome. He says, which brought up this question and used to be okay to use duplicate content for different sites targeting and local niche in different cities, just changing the location info one site for each city. But is that still true? I’ve never done that. Gordon. Honestly, I’ve always advocated for using unique content for all those and that’s specifically because, at some point, it could be, you know, toxic, it could you could end up catching a penalty because it is all duplicate content and duplicate content, guys, it’s supposed to be on the same domain, I get that, but on the same subdomains, you know, I don’t I don’t like that because it’s not as effective.

So what I’ve always always always suggested Yes, it has worked, you can just swap out location information. So like essentially the city modifier within the content. But it’s inexpensive to have a piece of content written and then have it rewritten, it’s a lot less expensive to have it rewritten than to have original content written for each, which by the way, when you go to a content farm, none of its original, all they’re doing is rewriting other content that they’ve scraped from the web, just so you’re aware of that, guys, when you go buy an article from a content farm. It is a rewritten article from something else on the web that they scraped, that’s it, there’s nobody there is actually writing an original article. all they’re doing is going easy and articles or somewhere else scraping an article and then rewriting it and usually it’s rewritten very poorly, by the way, but what I’m saying is you can go out and order an article, habit, you know, Britain for whatever, let’s say it’s 1000 word article, and it cost you 40 bucks. And then you have article rewrites. So let’s say you got six locations six subdomains where you got the URL

So that you paid 40 bucks for that, but then you order five rewrites, it might cost you $8 per rewrite. And now you’ve got six, original, unique, let’s just I’m using air quotes, but six or unique articles that are going to be more effective, in my opinion, long term, then having the same piece of content used across multiple sites where the only thing you change this is the location modifier. So that’s how I’ve done that, guys. I’ve got lead gen assets out there with subdomains with 20 subdomains, and they each have their own unique content. You know, and that’s specifically for that reason.

You know, again, it’s your call, I’ve always wanted to build long term assets that will rank and produce revenue for me for years, and I’ve got many of them. And so, you know, again, it’s all I always think about, it might be a little bit more expensive, a little bit more hassle on the front end. But what’s more of a hassle having assets that stopped producing or start performing poorly, because of you took shortcut cuts on the front end. You know if they’re producing revenue for you and again guys I don’t know if it works or not because I just don’t do it. I don’t know if it still works or not but other people may be able to comment and say oh it works fine that’s fine if you want to build your business that way do it you know, there’s it’s up to you. So I don’t recommend it though. Honestly, I try to do the work up front so that it will produce for me for the long term and I don’t have to continually worry about that shit.

Do you remember that when they first came out with pandas and penguins? What that what Google was asking for rich unique relevant content that’s updated on a regular basis how often they repeated that that was when the doofus what’s his name was still with with with the spam team gotten Matt Cutts right. When that was so that this is they kept asking them they didn’t they keep doing it over and over fresh, unique relevant content updated on a regular basis. But the telling you that for a reason the bot feeds of content

Now I know that people have done tests when and where, you know, they’ve used Latin. And it ranked, but there were still keywords interspersed with that Latin garbage that made it rank and that’s what the bite is feeding off. It’s feeding off that information that you’re giving it. And if you just keep pushing the same information over and over, we have seen this, again, we always test guys is why we can give you the answers to these questions. We’ve seen it time and again and local GMB Pro, that if you use different posts, that if you do it regularly, whatever regularly means for your niche because niches a different each unique niche will react differently to the post frequency. But we know that if you use fresh, unique, relevant content, update on a regular basis, fresh images or you make Google think that they’re fresh images

Marco: don’t even have to be, it’s just all about feeding them but the information that the bot is coded to look for. It’s looking for these variables, right the keyword in the right places, and in the right amount and then information. And, and it’s also looking at how a real person interacts with that content that you’re displaying. And whether that person finishes, whatever action they set out to do. All of this is part of it. Now, if you give people the same information over and over and over again until you change this is a little bit eventually that gets stale, and the bodies will be able to tell how people react to that. And the one thing you’d never want to do is you never want to send us a negative signal. We always concentrate on feeding them but the positive signals that’s going to get us positive actions and reactions going to get us better placement.

going to give us knowledge panel displays is going to get us calls. And it’s going to get us web site visits, and whatever else, right, whatever else that we’re looking for. But it all starts with your content. And yes, you can feed garbage. But eventually, what will happen is it’ll get the index just like it happened with that test website that was done. But that one was just to show what you could do with the content place in in in the right areas. And in the right amount. Guys, don’t trick yourself into thinking I’m going to take the easy way out and just change the location. Give people a reason to think about it. Think like the end user, right? If I’m going in there, and I’m looking to have my problem solved, and I keep seeing the same garbage over and over. I don’t want to deal with that. I want someone that that’s talking to me as the end user, and someone who’s going to help me solve my problem, become problem solvers and you’re going to go a long way towards really developing your content in a way that people are really going to enjoy interacting with, and in the long run is going to make your whole lot more money than taking shortcuts. Yeah.

Bradley: All right. We’re going to wrap it up here in a minute. But if it says mastermind calls from Bradley are awesome, relevant, timely, and actionable period. Thanks fits. Appreciate that. Yeah, I’ve enjoyed those calls. I had a couple of this week already. So again, I appreciate that. And then lastly, Gordon had posted one more question. That’s fine, Gordon, we appreciate that. He says, since relied on questions, I’ll ask something else. And this is a good question.

Is It Better To Create Different Page For Each Keyword Or Use A Single Location To Rank Different Keywords?

He says when creating local Legion pages, is it better or easier to create a different page for each keyword or to try to rank a single location page for a bunch of different keywords? Yeah, so that’s a great question. Because several years ago, that was the method was to it was and that was the industry, right? The traditional knowledge, right was to go out and create. Each page would be optimized for a singular keyword. Right. That was really how silo structure was started.

be taught was, you go out and you create a silo and then you collect the supporting keywords for that silo and then you start creating posts within the silo that each post is optimized for one keyword. And that can still be applied today. But the thing is, though, you’re better off. So let me back up for a minute like with a complex silo, guys, there are categories and subcategories, right? And so what I’m saying is it used to be it was taught for a while the best practices was was to create your top-level keyword would be the top-level page, your top level category. And then for your next tier down of keywords, right, you’re supporting keywords, you would create a subcategory for each of those keywords. Right, so that’s a child page. And then at your post level, you would go out and take longer tail versions of your second tier keywords and you would create individual posts for each one of those that would link up to your sub-category pages, right. And so that was very granular It was like Uber optimized content. But after panda three or four I don’t even remember which one it was but it was sometime around 2014 timeframe we started noticing that that was less effective and now and that’s because guys the algorithm has gotten so much better and understanding natural language right it with AI and rank brain and all of that it understands content and its totality now a lot better than it used to, right it’s Google’s gotten incredibly advanced in that respect. And so now you can actually have longer form content that targets many semantically related keywords that’s the key right? So instead of going out and creating multiple pages, which is kind of a bitch anyway, and it’s it’s really makes as Marco was just talking about, it makes for a shitty user experience to if you go to a site and you have to click to another page to learn more about a very similar keyword anyways or product or service. So it just becomes repetition over and over and over again. And that’s less effective. So you’re better off creating a long-form piece of content, as it as a page that has a lot of your relevant similarly related keywords within that page, you can even have somewhat broader topics combined on the same page. So provided that they’re segregated by correct segments, or headings, and other words, sections within the page. So you know, and I’ve experimented with even ranking one page websites guys for, you know, multiple types of keywords like that wouldn’t even be in the same silo. But because of the way that you organize the content on the page, you can still rank for that. Here’s another example, using like Table of Contents or navigation links with hot links that go to those sections on the page. So that’s a good way to kind of set to analyze the content within a page to where you can only you can have one page that can rank for multiple keywords or themes that make sense. So to answer your question.

I wouldn’t go with optimizing for singular keywords. No, don’t get me wrong if you’re if you’re doing short blog posts, for example, I target, you know, with GMB posts a lot singular keywords, I mean, we still I still sprinkling variations of that single keyword, but there’s one primary keyword typically for me, for GMB posts. So you can still do that. But for your pages on your site, right, I’m talking about posts doing that. But for your pages on your site, which are typically what you’re trying to rank, you’re using posts to support the page, right? So for pages, I would recommend going with longer form content instead. That’s why I don’t usually recommend using complex silos anymore because you can accomplish it with simple silos, which is just categories and page, top-level categories and pages and then post supporting posts. Because complex structures are exactly what their name implies. They’re complex. They’re hard to manage. It’s hard to map out in the beginning, and it’s, it’s honestly, I think it’s overkill for most stuff, especially for local it’s overkill for most local things. All right.

Okay five o'clock I’ve got to go but I am going to read this comment real quick Jim says FYI everyone I placed an order for keyword research it was actually too good with too many keywords but they do break it down and suggest which keywords you should target which ones are good for silo and for supporting keywords. Don’t hesitate to order you won’t regret the quality time saved that it takes the guesswork out of it. shipped Marco trains them. Hello. Thanks, Jim. Jim. So, Alright guys, everybody. We appreciate you being here. I’m kind of digging this app even though it looks old school. It’s kind of cool. what you guys think. I like it. I mean, it works. Yeah. Works. Nobody’s complaining about getting locked out of any account so far. So we’ll see. All right, everybody. We’ll see you guys tomorrow on the mastermind and everyone else next week. Thanks for being here, man. Later see

Little Secrets: Part 1

Fandom: Star Wars (Modern AU)

Pairing: Poe Dameron x Reader

Summary: After a one night stand with Poe in high school, you find out your pregnant. You end up moving away before anyone, including Poe, found out. You end up giving the child up for adoption. Coincidentally, years later, Finn and Rey adopt your child making Poe the honorary godfather. It’s killing Poe as to why this child looks so familiar.

A/N: Poe and Reader are both 18. And I think I’m going to make this a three part series.

You woke up in a groggy haze. You looked to your left to see a knocked out Poe. You stretched and stood up. It was just a one time thing, Y/N. Don’t get ahead of yourself. You told yourself. But you really didn’t want it to be a one time thing. You and Poe were close friends. He made you smile and laugh…he made you feel loved. You couldn’t help the feelings that emerged the more you spent time with him. But after this one night stand….everything’s been ruined. 

When Poe woke up, you weren’t there. He was upset. He thought that maybe you would’ve stayed. Maybe you actually had feelings for him like he did you. But he supposed he was wrong. Poe sighed in disappointment. Nothing was going to be the same after this.

Three weeks after that one night stand, you and Poe didn’t talk to each other. It was nearing the end of senior year anyway, so you were focusing on finishing your last year in high school with good grades. You put all your attention into your studying.

Lately, you’ve been feeling sick and you didn’t know why. Just every morning, you felt nauseous and couldn’t stomach anything down. Your mother was concerned so she insisted you go to the hospital.

About thirty minutes after giving a urine and blood sample, the doctor came back into the private room. She smiled at you, “Well, Y/N, looks like you’re doing fine and congrats! You’re three weeks pregnant!”

“Oh! Wow! Uh, thanks. That’s a relief. That explains the sick feeling.”

The doctor sensed your uneasiness, “It wasn’t expected, was it?”

You shook your head, “I’m on the pill…but like people say, it doesn’t always work.”

“Do you have any questions? Would you like to know about some counseling services we give?”

“No, no. It’s fine. I think I’ll be fine.”

The doctor hesitated, “Well, okay. You’ll come back in two weeks for a check up. And don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions. Okay?”

You gave her a small smile, “Alright. Thanks, doctor.”

When you told your parents, surprisingly, they weren’t very upset. They said things like that happened. You also told them that you wanted to have the baby, but didn’t want to keep it. They understood this. You were young. You were going to be entering college. You didn’t have a steady job. You just couldn’t take care of a child right now. You also definitely didn’t want to put your burden onto your parents. So adoption was the reasonable choice.

“We also have some things to tell you.”

“Okay? What is it?”

“We’re moving.” Your dad said.

“Wait, what?! When?!”

“After you graduate. The company wants us to move.”

“To where?! I don’t want to leave Yavin!”

“Across the country to the city of D’Qar.” Your mom said.

“Y/N, it wouldn’t really matter anyway, right? All of your friends are going to different colleges. You won’t be seeing them much anyway.” Your dad added.

You thought about his words. True, Rey was going to Ahch-To University. Ben was going to NYU. Finn and Poe were going into the military. Plus, you really didn’t have a choice. You still didn’t know where to go to school. You didn’t know what you wanted to major in. So you had to move with your parents.

5 years Later

You ended up having your baby when you moved to D’Qar. It was a beautiful baby boy and you decided to name him Lucas. When you gave him up for adoption, you remained anonymous. So no one would immediately know who gave him up. 

You also ended up going to the local college in D’Qar. You majored in English and received your teaching credentials. You were now a kindergarten teacher! You loved teaching the little boys and girls. They were just so cute!

The first day of school was here and you waited by the door of your classroom to greet all of the kids and their parents. 

You were currently talking to a little boy Cole, who was scared to leave his mom. You were reassuring him when you heard your name, “Y/N?”

You gave your last comforting words to Cole and looked up to see, “Finn? Rey? Oh my gosh!” You hugged them, “What are you doing here?!”

“We’re dropping off our son, Lucas to his class, which I guess is yours! I saw that the teacher had your last name, but I didn’t think it would be you!” Finn exclaimed. 

You looked to the little 5 year old boy. You remembered seeing it on facebook that after Finn and Rey got married, they adopted a baby boy, Lucas, “Hi, Lucas. I’m Miss L/N. I’m going to be your teacher.”

The shy boy with black curly hair, light tan skin, and y/e/c softly said, “Hi,” as he tried to hide behind Rey.

You smiled at him, “I promise I’m not scary. I’m actually really fun.” You glanced inside the classroom then to him, “There’s some toys in there if you want to play. Do you like legos?”

His eyes widened, “Yeah!” He hugged Rey and Finn, “Bye mom! Bye dad!” And ran inside with his big backpack bouncing behind him.

“Well, that wasn’t hard.” Rey noted, “So how are you, Y/N? We stopped talking after we graduated. You’re not even on facebook a lot anymore.”

“Yeah, been busy with school, got my teaching credentials, now I’m here! Been teaching for two years! So when did you move here?”

“A couple weeks ago. Finn and I decided we didn’t want to live back in Yavin. So we came here.”

“That’s amazing!” You looked at your watch, “Well, schools in session. I’ll talk to you guys when you pick up Lucas!”

Finn hugged you, “It’s so great to see you again, Y/N.”

“We’ll see you later,” Rey said as she hugged you.

You waved them good-bye and was ready to start the new school year.

Throughout the day, the kids were, surprisingly, well behaved. They all listened to you intently as you gave directions on what to do and gave your lessons. At the end of the day, they all loved you. Each and every one of them gave you a hug before they left for school. 

The last one with you was Lucas. You didn’t mind waiting for Finn and Rey, so you weren’t going to bring him to the office for them to pick him up there. You decided to play and talk with him. 

You then heard someone knock on the door. You looked up to see an all too familiar face, “Poe?”

“Y/N? You’re Luke’s teacher? What a coincidence!”

“Uh, yeah! Um, sorry, but why are you here?”

“Oh! Rey and Finn wanted me to pick Luke up. They got caught up in unpacking the last of their stuff.”

“UNCLE POE!” Lucas ran up to Poe.

“Luke! My buddy!” Poe picked up Lucas and held him. You looked at Poe and to Lucas. They looked…oddly similar. Lucas’s hair and skin color matched Poe’s exactly. 

“Miss L/N, this is my Uncle Poe! He’s the best uncle ever!” 

You smiled, “Is that so?”

Lucas nodded, “Uh huh! He’s cool! He flies planes and helicopters!”

“Wow. That is cool!”

“Alright, buddy, I think we’ve kept Miss L/N here long enough. I gotta get you home to your parents.”
