You’ve probably already noticed that something looks a little different in our community today. As part of our ongoing community improvements, we’ve performed some housekeeping to streamline the forum structure, make more distinction between areas and open up a few areas to guests and friends. The big visual change is that we now have four separate areas: support, community, marketplace and developers. It should hopefully be clear what each section does, but let's go through a few examples. Support This area is where you can leave feedback on existing features, help shape Invision Community’s future by suggesting new functionality and also where you can get qu…

Posted by MiriamEllis http://d2v4zi8pl64nxt.cloudfront.net/electric-vehicle-charging-station-local-seo/601884df466d06.70185000.jpg Some business models exist in the ditches of Google’s information highways, belonging in local search results, but not well addressed by the official guidelines. Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations exemplify this: They’re all over local packs, finders, and maps, but their model is a bit unusual, and Google has yet to update the guidelines to show exactly how to represent them in the Google My Business setting. Today, we’ll pull together our own set of EV charging station best practices — based on Google’s rules for similar enterpr…

Posted by KameronJenkins Tell me if this sounds familiar: As an SEO Manager, you’re responsible for growing your company’s organic search traffic. You’re working with your dev team on some technical improvements, but you notice a big slice of the opportunity lies with content. Your company has a content team, but you notice they’re not using keyword research to inform their articles. You’ve tried to send them keyword ideas, but so far, they haven’t been receptive to your suggestions. Or how about this scenario? You’re a marketing director at a startup. You know that you need content, but don’t have the expertise or time to do it yourself, so you ask your netwo…

Posted by IzabelleHundrev If there’s one thing that most marketers have in common, it’s that we want more leads. Sure, not all leads are good. Some are even downright unqualified. But leads are what drive business, and as a result, many of us are held accountable for generating more of them. Out of all of the lead generation strategies out there, there’s one that I find particularly effective: search engine optimization (SEO) and conversion rate optimization (CRO) working together. While this may seem obvious, you’d be surprised how many marketing teams are really good at one or the other, but fail to find the balance between both. Below, I’ll share why i…

Posted by chrisgiarratana Add value to SEO reports with storytelling Monthly SEO reports are a vital part of any SEO strategy because they provide an outlet to educate customers, show ROI, and guide the conversion for upsells. While SEO reports are crucial in many ways, they are usually reduced to boilerplate PDF templates sent to clients each month with a generic message. If this describes your SEO reporting approach, you’re missing out on vital opportunities to retain clients and upsell with carefully crafted storytelling strategies. http://d2v4zi8pl64nxt.cloudfront.net/seo-reports-with-storytelling/602460fd65e553.16892906.png SEO reporting has always b…

Promote kindness and foster interpersonal relationships through the power of vulnerability to outshine toxicity in your online community. Before my time as a Community Advocate with Invision Community, I focused all my attention on my own online community, BreatheHeavy. Pop music and Britney Spears news are the bread and butter of BreatheHeavy. As you can imagine, fans of pop stars are energized, vocal and unapologetic. There’s real potential for conversations to slip into negativity. 16 years ago when I launched BreatheHeavy, I hadn’t realized I took the first steps towards becoming a community leader. It never occurred to me such a role existed. My mission evol…

Posted by Tom.Capper http://d2v4zi8pl64nxt.cloudfront.net/seo-forecasting-in-google-sheets/6010a0c58aa508.23555487.png Way back in 2015, I published an article giving away a free, simple, forecasting tool, and talking through use cases for forecasting in SEO. It was a quick, effective way to see if a change to your site traffic is some kind of seasonality you can ignore, something to celebrate, or a worrying sign of traffic loss. In short: you could enter in a series of data, and it would plot it out on a graph like the image above. Five years later, I still get people — from former colleagues to complete strangers — asking me about this tool, and more often t…

Posted by larissa-lacerda From the moment I started working with SEO, I was faced with countless optimization tactics. After heading down numerous rabbit holes, I came to see how important it is to identify your low hanging fruit: the opportunities to generate great results with less effort. The first time I saw notable results in my work was in the optimizations I put into practice to reach featured snippets. The thrill of jumping to the top of the page was so great that it soon became my passion. But not everything in SEO is so simple (or stable). Soon, methods that had previously brought results were no longer working. With the competition growing increasingly…

Posted by Victor_Ijidola Unlike B2C brands, B2B businesses are often characterized by: low search volumes on Google. high competition on scarcely available keywords. And there’s evidence to support this — usually, where a seven-year-old B2C company is getting 500K visitors per month from SEO, a B2B brand the same age could be seeing only 15K visitors per month. (This is assuming all other things are equal.) Check out the example below comparing Zola.com (a B2C brand) and Yiedify.com (B2B): http://d2v4zi8pl64nxt.cloudfront.net/use-search-as-b2b-growth-channel/6010a620e06692.07621290.png These two sites were founded around the same time (2013) and have…
