    How to improve my local SEO

    Dont try to use 10 free tools at once. I rather advice u to learn Search Console properly first than use five different SEO tools without understanding the data.

    My traffic increased but rankings did not move

    Iwould check Search Console first. Sometimes rankings for your main keywords don't move, but the page starts picking up a lot of additional long tail queries, which is enough to increase traffic without any obvious position changes.

    Anyone using YouTube posts as a parasite?

    Interesting. I knew community posts had their own URLs now, but I hadnt considered them for parasite SEO. Has anyone here actually managed to rank one consistently or do they tend to disappear after a while?

    What's one social media metric you completely ignore now?

    Follower count. I have seen accounts with huge followings generate almost no business, while much smaller accounts with the right audience bring consistent leads

    Issue my site dropped visits after spam blacklist how to rank it up

    If the drop started right after the blacklist issue I wouldn't expect GSA or more backlinks to fix it. I would first figure out whether Bing still distrusts the domain. Once that trust issue is resolved then I will look at rebuilding authority with a small number of relevant high quality links...

    If you had to start link building from scratch today...

    i wouldd spend the first month figuring out which pages are actually worth building links to. I've made the mistake of putting links into pages that were later merged, rewritten, or changed. Now I wait until the content has settled before investing in backlinks.

    One Advice for bigginers?

    Don't chase every new SEO trick you see online. Pick one area, work on real projects, make mistakes, and learn from them. I learned far more from client work than from watching courses.

    Would you rather invest in better content or stronger backlinks if your budget only allowed one?

    I will audit the site first before spending anything. If the content is already competitive then I would put the budget into backlinks. If the content is clearly weaker than the pages already ranking i would improve that first.

    Good Backlinks

    Before buying, I search Google for a few recent articles from that site if Google is not indexing fresh content consistently i dont expect my guest post to perform any better

    How to plan strategy for publishing articles for better authority?

    I wouldd start with the pillar content first, then build supporting articles around it instead of publishing randomly. Also, dont wait to "finish" one category before starting another grow each topical cluster over time with internal links connecting them

    What do you do to give your blog articles a bit of extra support?

    I first compare the backlink profiles of the URLs ranking above me. If they are only slightly stronger i wouldd test a few relevant links before spending more. If the gap is huge, I probably invest my time in a different article instead.
