Great share and well explained - thanks.

So just to be clear - is the best "starting out" policy to send major keywords (product type) to both homepage and categories? What kind of % split would you suggest between sending to homepage vs sending to product categories? Also, do all the standard channels of backlinking apply, or are...

Haha!! Yeah - amazing isn't it?

I have to agree with the general consensus here. He is a LAWYER mate! Do you have any idea how much just one client is worth to him??? Do you? If you do, and you still want to charge a paltry amount, get out of this business - it won't work for you if you want to make a decent living. Better...

Hmmm.....****Tumbleweed**** Guess not then?

Hi Guys, Been sent the above from a couple of lists. Looks like its going for $97 Thing is - there's no site etc that i can find to get more info. Sure, the video looks like a great lead-finding tool for offline but.....where does it get it's info from, and how do we know how accurate and up...

Excellent answers thanks guys. It seems the crowd is split though! Ok let's say forget existing sites: go with one site with content optimized and backlinked for each country, or 2 separate sites that can always be redirected later? How about using silos on one site? I'm actually glad to...

Thanks for that. I'm really wondering i should do SEO wise to get a single site ranked in both countries I guess, or if I should have 2 country specific URLs and do separate campaigns?

I have a consulting business running here in Australia. I also spend a lot of time in London due to family there, and would now like to have my business found in the UK, so I can generate new clients there too. Currently I have both a company name website and a KW rich URL site here in Oz that...

Agree with everyone else here, but this is also an example of why it's essential to choose your clients well. Though it's not obviously part of your job here, when I take on an offline client, I look to see that I can make a big difference to their bottom line. Then I look good. So part of...

Agreed - referrals are SO the way to go. Essentially the whole current social media marketing buzz is based on this concept - it's being called "social proof" currently - haha! Another version of this that I'm setting up is paying (commission) referrals. I network with other business people who...

Mate, Firstly, you're getting into "Marketing" - you should understand the value of a brand or business name. I'm afraid that by your suggestion of "Christian's Web Services", it appears you haven't grasped this yet. I would strongly suggest researching as much as you can on basic marketing...

Hey guys - not sure if this is where to post this but..... A client of mine has had someone set up a "fake" twitter account in his name (actually using his name with "fake" in front of it like how people do with celebs, politicians etc). This client is quite high profile in the business...

Guys and Gals, No one's mentioned looking longer term here. If you send them to your own site on way through to your offer, then use that opportunity to grab their email. You can then build a list of local people who, just for starters, you know like movies and free stuff. Think a bit...

Hey Localdominator, Was going to PM you, but I haven't posted enough yet, and anyway, thought this would be an a good thing to share with anyone else playing in the local space. I've a client who's a contractor and I'm making him a WP based site, alongside managing GP and other marketing...

Hey thanks localdominator, that's just want I wanted to hear! Going to crank out the GP listing now, while I wait to get site up. Thanks again mate, nice one

Well i guess it could be an opportunity to say that you have this great site which they can rent, and can can additionally optimize places for them to improve their listings. Places seems still to be testing and changing frequently, so it makes sense to have a site that ranks in addition to this.

I've had success with PO Boxes in the past, but haven't tried recently. Have a new client to set up places for, and am doing a site for him now. Should i get the site up first, then do the places, or can i go ahead and do places while waiting for site?
