    Hi Wes,
    It was an amazing watch! I am a marketer as well, and I use SEO best practices to rank my business on top. I have never really received any professional training, and I have learned everything about marketing and SEO myself. So, it was a very informative watch for me. I learned several new things that will be very helpful in my business. Also, I was able to identify some of the mistakes I have been making. Thanks a lot for sharing this video, it was a great watch.

    Wes, been a long-time follower, customer! Love your content. I have a question about getting found in cities where I do not have a local address. Most of my work is NOT local. While I'm in PA, I do a lot of work in Virginia and Washington DC. Could you make a video about how a service business can be found in that situtation?

    • @WesMcDowellInc
      @WesMcDowellInc  2 года назад

      Hey Susan! The thing is, proximity is a major ranking factor, so you'd realy need a physical presence in any local market you wanted to show up in the maps. Even if its just a small closet office.. you need to be able to get mail sent to you.

      @@WesMcDowellInc Thanks,Wes. But what about having a dedicated page, let’s say for Arlington Va. If someone IN Arlington typed in one of my keyword phrases “event graphic design” wouldn’t there be a chance I could show up in an organic search if we optimize properly?. I know I won’t be in the map pack. Having an office address in all the different locations is not possible. But I was thinking of dedicated pages under a tab “Areas We Serve” each with different text with certain keyword phrases.

    Thank you for speaking in a language we can always understand. The nonsense of tech jargon is that it often comes from a person who reads like code- that’s lifeless, monotone, and boring.
