Listen "Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) For Tradies! Does it actually work? | 16"
Episode Synopsis
Electricians - Today, I'm diving deep into the world of SEO for tradies. Let me start off with a reality check: SEO isn't some sort of magic trick that works overnight. Nope, it's more of a marathon than a sprint, sometimes taking a whole year to see real results. And it's definitely not a 'do it once and forget it' kind of deal. Oh, and watch out for those shady black hat tactics – they're a bit like a house of cards, ready to tumble down at any moment. The real deal with SEO? It's way more than just cramming your site with keywords. It's about the finer things like backlinks, which are pretty much like getting a thumbs-up from other websites.Let me share a bit of my own journey with SEO companies. It's been quite a ride, folks – a mix of good, bad, and some hard-learned lessons. I admit, I tried to cut corners in the beginning, looking for the cheapest deals. But here's the thing with SEO: you really do get what you pay for. I'll tell you about the time I finally hit the jackpot with a company that was straight-up about how long it takes to see results. They even had the guts to offer a guarantee, and that's something to look for.Wrapping up, I've got some no-nonsense advice about choosing the right SEO company. Don't get blinded by flashy promises or bargain-basement prices. It's just like finding a reliable mechanic – do your research, check their history, and stay clear of those too-good-to-be-true offers. Remember, SEO is a long game. You're planting seeds now to harvest later. Think of it as an investment, not a cost. Sure, it's a bit of a risk, but trust me, when it pays off, it's a game-changer.Alright, for those taking notes:- We busted some myths about instant SEO fixes and the dangers of black hat tactics.- Discussed why backlinks are crucial and the need for ongoing SEO work.- Shared my personal stories dealing with various SEO companies.- Gave tips on choosing the right SEO company, and why you should view it as a long-term investment." 🚀 Rocket your electrical business marketing in 9 minutes 👉🏼 HERE 🤔 Questions?
