Hey Ryan. Great tutorial. I always learn something new when studying your vids. When creating anchor text for ecomm product pages, is it better to use more exact and partial keywords than branded or generic ones?

[@NOTRyanStewart]

a mixture of both

[@growthenablers]

Colin here. Thanks Ryan. Excellent over the shoulder breakdown. Don't know if I'm getting ahead of myself in terms of what you hand to your VAs... What's your thoughts on using something like SEMRush's Content Assistant for finding secondary words (instead of the manual process you show); i.e. grabbing the phrases the top-10 pages all have in common for the main search and the 'Google suggest' recommendations too. Not necessarily for every new keyword research project, but I would imagine it could speed up things for a lot of the secondary pages you want to cover off at this stage.

[@NOTRyanStewart]

tools can help, but i like to use a manual process here. i like a human to think through some of these questions as they go thru the process

Ryan, thanks for the video. I'm based in NYC, know SEO and analytics well, but also have a passion for real estate. Should I start an seo marketing agency or sell real estate as a broker/agent? (I know this is more of a personal preference, but I appreciate you helping me narrowing down my choice).

[@NOTRyanStewart]

yes, we always advise young agencies to select a specialization / niche when getting started

What’s the search keyword extension you’re using? Can you link to it in the description?

[@NOTRyanStewart]
