[@im-not-your-dadbut...1050]

Thanks Wes! As a 60+ year old trying to improve my inspection company’s exposure you are a godsend! Your straightforward guidance has really helped me.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Great to know that! Looking forward for your success.

[@samsonatkins3447]

Do you run your own webinars and training?

[@rgasta7765]

Hi. What does an inspection company need the most as far as web presence/sales? Can u share?

[@Elle_M717]

Hope your business is going well!

[@geraldpratt5252]

Awesome stuff. Valuable, actionable content. Waiting for the next video installment! Needed this like 15 years ago lol

[@Radu_NG]

You gave me self-trust knowing that I'm 75% on the SEO Journey. Thanks.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

That's excellent Radu! 👏🙌

[@rgasta7765]

❤ it. I must say Wes is a great teacher. Explains at slow pace with detail while being friendly.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Wow, thank you! much appreciated 😊

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Thanks, will do! Happy Holidays to you too! 😀👍

[@bonniehoke-scedrov4906]

Man, I just can't get enough of your videos and all that fabulous content! Thank you so much!

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Wow thanks Bonnie 😊

[@JenP2776]

Also, I do all of my work remotely so I’d like to be found essentially everywhere. Would it be best to keep my location out of my site description to some up in more National or global searches?

[@teresafritschi]

Bravo, Wes.

[@kanacreationsart]

After listening to your video, I realise no Marketing agency can do justice to this kind of effort. Only an inhouse employee can put focused effort. I will try to build based on your guidance for my business. It may take time but i will do that.

[@swiftgames5382]

This is the best video I’ve seen on this subject. Thank you 🙏

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Wow, thank you! 🙌

[@johnravi3887]

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.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Appreciate it John!

[@lesliewalsher7517]

Can you advise how best to delve into this topic for an absolute beginner?

[@MaximVölk-z3m]

Thanks for the Video Wes! Question: Isn‘t search volume the least important metric to look at, when doing kw research ? I learned that from Nathan Gotch

[@DMC888]

It’s interesting to see that not a lot has changed over the years for basic on page SEO. Apart from KZbin I was doing all of this in 2005-2012.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

that's good to hear that you were on top of it! 👍

[@edwardflemingjewellery]

That tip about embedding a KZbin video into a piece of content is fantastic. I have a video on my chanel that is super relevant to a keyword that I have been working on for years but for some reason (it seems so obvious now) I haven’t connected.

[@SuzMcDonaldWellbeing]

I am systematically working through the your videos and implementing your advice. Thank you so much for this one.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Happy to help Suz!

[@anonymousgerman2809]

Its an awesome video , it cleared my doubt very easily ! Thankyou

[@WesMcDowellInc]

That's great to hear! Thx

[@lucface]

14:20 you rewrite the house cleaning Miami. I like your emotional ad copy but could they have written the original with the list of areas they cover the way they did because it could help them rank for those locations included in peoples searches?

[@Angelimprint]

Fantastic video and soo informative!!

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Thanks Stephanie! 🙌

[@marc149]

Another slam dunk Wes! Love your succinct style dude 🙌

[@gloryb-tv]

Really helpful - thx. QQ, Wes - do you use any type of teleprompter for when you're camera-facing and speaking for a longer amt of time? It is really seamless! If so, which do you use? Thx.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Yes I do actually! I use the Parrot caster. Its pretty easy :)

[@gloryb-tv]

@@WesMcDowellInc Is it the Padcaster Parrot teleprompter for smartphones? That's what came up in a search. Thanks!

[@KimBuchanan]

I learn so much from you Wes. Thanks so much!!

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Glad to hear it Kim - thx! 🙌 😊

[@billdecray1009]

Hey Wes, I have a question for you is regards to the best ways to built a SEO into a brand new website. So another words I’m planning on building a website and I wanna make sure that much like a constructing/designing a new house. The whole foundation of the website is built for Optimizing the SEO portion of the new site. How do I know if a company is adding everything to the build?

[@DalechOtGrada]

Thank you, thank you, thank you... This is the most useful video I've ever watched!!!

[@WesMcDowellInc]

My pleasure!

[@stefanraufiq6319]

Great video with helpful tips!

[@susanharper7113]

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]

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.

[@susanharper7113]

@@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.

[@Matt-Olive-Digital]

Can you make an in depth video comparing WIX, WordPress and the Google Business Profile free website?

[@szorgoskezek4339]

Thanks! ;) Good video.. perfect skills.. :)

[@framerwme]

Amazing Tips Wes! I'm going to implement your tips and make a video about it.

[@rickyhurtado]

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. I’ve been doing SEO for a long time and this video was a fresh reminder that consumers are people who aren’t engineers and understand the tech phrases and jargon.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Thank you Ricky! As much as possible, I want everyone to learn from my videos and help them scale their business up that is why I make it sure that everyone can understand the language that I am speaking.

[@wambugumassive]

You've inspired me to have a proper go at my online store. It's getting no traffic, right now!

Why use Uber suggest instead of googles keyword planner? Wouldn’t the KW planner be more exact since it’s Google?

[@WesMcDowellInc]

The keyword planner tool only takes ppc into account, it’s not about organic seo keywords

[@fairweatherfriends.]

@@WesMcDowellInc Ohhhh. Ok Thanks. Great video BTW.

You bet Nancy!

[@katiel9301]

How do I change what my listing says? You mentioned some plug in, but I can’t figure it out.

[@WesMcDowellInc]

Hey Katie, add the Rankmath SEO plugin, then you can change your title and description using that. Cheers!

[@Largepapa2]

Good video. Do you consider a page a blog post or would you do both?

[@marleneowens898]

Does Google have a limit on indexing content?

[@AlexeyShort]

SEO is a nonsence. There are 10-100 great cleanind companies in a city and everyone deserves to be on a 1 page. Yet 80% of peoples click first 2-3 rows. And 7-8 great businesses left without clients. SEO is garbage. It is TOOOOO narrow and tiny.

Cool, you probably shouldnt do it then :)

So trolly. I’ll let my clients know who rank high that always get new business from their SEO optimized website your uneducated opinion.
