There are *very few things* you have control over in SEO. The depth, quality and expanse of your content is one of these.

Here are 3 examples of how onpage/onsite SEO produced results.

🧵 ..
1/ I researched and published popular wedding venue content for a wedding photographer. We chose venues that would align with his target audience (re: budget, values and visual style).

It took a few months to rank👇
Even throughout COVID and lockdown, the page continued to get organic traffic from searches from potential customers.

More importantly, I *know* my client has booked weddings from this onsite content.
And as an added bonus: Because a journalist in the UK searched for "centennial vineyards wedding cost" - the page was the cited in the Daily Mail 👇
2/ For the same client I decided to be ambitious to target a *very* popular wedding venue - again with providing the BEST information for his target audience.

It took months for the page to rank but here it is 👇
Researching, publishing, adding internal links, and adding FAQschema was just the beginning.

It took the better half of a year for the page to hit the bottom of page 1.

But it was the ONLY wedding photographer result on page 1.

Now it ranks #2 beneath the venue's own website.

3/ For a bridal store, I ran a survey using IG ads to get 300+ responses. I paid someone to turn the data into stories and published it on the client's site.

Here's one of many featured snippets achieved👇
Because of ☝️ the client has landed links from @Refinery29 and @RateCity NATURALLY.

That's right. Because the content ranked no outreach was required for these DR89 and DR71 *follow* links.

You can see for yourself in @ahrefs. I ain't lying.
In conclusion, the content you publish is one of the very few levers you can pull in SEO. So before you poor 💰💵🫰 into 🔗, ask yourself the following:

"Is the content the best it can be?"

> If yes, be honest with yourself👀
>> If no, focus on content.
Thanks for reading! I hope you found this insightful and inspiring to publish 🏆 content for your audience.

What is one thing hiring managers look for when recruiting for a junior SEO position?
✔️ Transferrable skills + experience
✖️ College degree
✔️ Direct experience

But you may not have direct experience - let's solve that right now!

A 🧵 for those of you who are thinking of moving joining the SEO profession 👇
Having your own website teaches you empathy.

Eg, when you realise GoDaddy/Bluehost is a 💩 and need to migrate to another host.

You will realise that it is not so easy.

Can you imagine how confusing and frustrating it is for non-tech business owners?

How to rank for a head term keyword via long tail keywords, without link-building, for new niche websites, service-based businesses, and any type of website.

🎁Plus a bonus FREE @googledocs content brief template.

🧵👇
First of all, head terms are popular searches.

For example:
▪️ wedding dress
▪️ bitcoin
▪️ credit card
▪️ iPhone
▪️ SEO freelancer
▪️ dentist near me
▪️ jeans

But here's the thing: ranking for head terms are f*cking competitive. Like seriously 💀😅
Eg, using @semrush, "wedding dresses" has a global search volume of 1.2 million PER MONTH and the regional breakdowns are *very* respectable.
