Very useful and interesting to see the challenges of different SEO professionals across industries and hear your hands-on advice. Thank you for publishing it. I wanted to join the call but it was late for my timezone. I am glad you shared the recording:)
Hey Nathan, as always, great content. One quick question, you spoke about how you acquire links for your one pager website. How did you actually do it? Bought links? Sent emails for it?
46:48 first off I wanna say this video was extremely helpful! Learned something from each of the questions! I do have a question about your proposals. So at the 46 minute mark you say you look for all the keywords available in there one little market. Are you searching for just the things like “St Louis Endodontist” and not “Endodonist near me” ? Because obviously the amount of traffic that shows for “Endodontist near me” isn’t just the people searching for it in St. Louis but still has local intent in the SERPs. How do you go about finding these keywords / estimating this traffic?
I'm searching every possible variation to get a rough idea of the cumulative search volume for that niche + location. Sometimes, you'll have use the Google Keyword Planner
Great video Nathan thank you. Would focusing on local SEO be considered niching down ? Or do you suggest niching to an industry within local SEO ? What do you mean by "offering SEO on the front end and web design on the backend" ? Thank you.
My niche is portrait photographers. Many of them are trying to rank in the map pack using their home address becuase they don't have in person studios. Using a home address is not ideal for privacy reasons, what is your thought on using a virtual address to rank in the map pack? Or do you suggest they avoid the map pack and just make content based on photo shoot locations?
Hi Nathan, Thank you so much for this video. I have a question regarding the personal injury law firm niche, lets say the client serves California wide and wants to target major cities in California such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego etc. The client wants to to rank keywords like Los Angeles Car Accident Lawyer, San Diego Car Accident Lawyer etc, then is it not a good practice to post some blogs that are state specific such as "California Car Accident Statistics" and "Most Dangerous Roads and Intersections in California?" and also post blogs that are city-specific such as "Los Angeles Car Accident Statistics" and "San Deigo Car Accident Statistics" etc. State-specific blogs can generate a lot of traffic and that will be relevant too as the client serves California wide but to rank city-specific pages we also need to to city-specific blogs like I mentioned above. In your expertise, what would be the most effective approach in this context? A blend of state and city-specific blog posts, or should the focus be solely on city-specific content? I'd greatly value your perspective on this.
Gonna be honest about this one, not my favorite format. For lack of a better term it feels a bit chaotic switching from one subject to the next. It's a bit weird and I can't really put my finger on why but i just kept skipping to next segment. I tend to enjoy your channel especially lately, but just didn't do it for me on this one.
Man ... Julian would disagree with you... , well of course, those who got lucky and gurus will say, old days are over and gone .. now you have to rent a U Haul truck and buy merch, rent a warehouse and film using products you bought .. and so on and so forth. But, aren't directory sites immune to Google updates ?
Hey Brian i want to learn SEO fro my own trading business to promote my own business and courses (i have 2 courses completed but not selling yet ) rather than setup an SEO agency. Particularly I want to create topical authority in trading and can narrow this down. May I please ask you your recommendation for best approach?

Hi Nathan,
Thank you so much for this video. I have a question regarding the personal injury law firm niche, lets say the client serves California wide and wants to target major cities in California such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego etc.
The client wants to to rank keywords like Los Angeles Car Accident Lawyer, San Diego Car Accident Lawyer etc, then is it not a good practice to post some blogs that are state specific such as "California Car Accident Statistics" and "Most Dangerous Roads and Intersections in California?" and also post blogs that are city-specific such as "Los Angeles Car Accident Statistics" and "San Deigo Car Accident Statistics" etc.
State-specific blogs can generate a lot of traffic and that will be relevant too as the client serves California wide but to rank city-specific pages we also need to to city-specific blogs like I mentioned above.
In your expertise, what would be the most effective approach in this context? A blend of state and city-specific blog posts, or should the focus be solely on city-specific content? I'd greatly value your perspective on this.

Yes, sites with a strong link profiles experience less volatility in updates.
