How to Rank #1 in Google [New Step-by-Step Case Study]

Today you're going to learn EXACTLY how to rank in Google (step-by-step).
In fact, in this video I'm going to show you the exact process that I used to rank #1 for "list building".
With that, here's a quick overview of what's in the video:
You already know that "great content" is a big part of ranking in Google. But what does "great content" mean exactly? Well, as it turns out, there's a certain TYPE of content that performs best for SEO.
Next, I show you some of my favorite on-page SEO strategies. And no, I'm not talking about old school stuff like "keyword stuffing". Instead, you're going to see how to improve your Google rankings with modern-day SEO strategies (like internal linking).
Then, you'll learn about one of the biggest changes in the world of search engine optimization over the last few years (and how to optimize for it).
Finally, you'll learn how to promote your content so that you get more social shares and backlinks to your content. I'll also show you real-life examples of how I use these SEO tips on my site.
And before I end the video, I reveal a bonus SEO tip that I've been using a lot lately. This single tip has helped improve my Google rankings for some very competitive keywords.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways to rank in Google in 2018.

I'm preparing a blog, sometimes I get demotivated... then I watch one of your videos and IT SERIOUSLY GETS ME BACK IN THE GAME

[@naykeloropeza8613]

Thanks for the Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Tiyamilla Eminent Takeover (do a google search)? It is a good one off guide for dominating SEO like a ninja without the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work colleague after many years got great results with it.

[@CheviePublicover]

Brian, I love your content. I recently implemented step #6 7:31 "CTR-Optimize Your Title" for an HVAC company and they jumped up from position #6 to #3 for the targeted keyword. It really shows how much each step makes a difference! Starting my title with my keyword, another strategy you had pointed out in your "on-page SEO" blog made a huge difference with this as well. Thanks for all the awesome actionable content. Love it!!

[@BrianDean]

WOW. That's awesome 👍 👍 👍

[@RichardCorbinx]

The education from your content has been integral in helping provide accelerated value to my SEO clients for sure. One client saw a 30% increase in Organic Traffic year over year (2016 vs 2017) and as a result increased profits by 27% when it comes to leads generated from Organic Traffic. Love the tips, some I knew but some are fresh. Cheers and thanks for the video!

[@learningcenterHD]

Absolutely, Michael. It's one of the only easy wins in SEO

[@jefferyjeffery1707]

I have a major background in science, nutrition and cancer!! College and real life....as I was given less than a 10% chance of living a year in the cancer I had. But I'm still here....Doctors, and I've been to the best, telling me whatever your doing...keep doing it!! So I'm starting a blog in the aspects of how to survive cancer. So your walk thru presentation was utterly fantastic. As I don't know, what to do to rank, so people can find out what to do!! Just like understanding the aspects of how to survive cancer.....if you don't know what to do, you'll have a hard time suceeding, surviving. Same with SEO.....what and how to do, to be successful and survive!!! Your presentation was awesome!!! Thanks, Brian!!! Jeffery

[@BrianDean]

You're welcome, Jefferey. Best of luck with the new project

[@jefferyjeffery1707]

Brian Dean Hi Brian!!! I'm sure we'll be talking. As the company I'm building is extensive. With many products and services to be offered, both nutritional health and home services. That removes the stress and complexities of life, into an automated health life style surrounding people's world. And build it all into a brand. I've already run it past CEO's of major corporations and the government, and it's been well received. I 've spoken with Neil Patel about it, offering support. And not yet spoken directly with you. But you both stay far ahead of the game. I look forward to meeting you.... Jeffery I look

[@nycjedi54]

Wow! Another epic step by step case study! Thanks a million Brian.

[@BrianDean]
