2 Minute Tuesday

There's a new scam I've been seeing across multiple client sites that comes in via a comment form submission seemingly from a photographer suggesting they are going to file suit for your using their copyright protected images. While that could be true, this scam contains a link that goes to a malware file. Do not click on the link, do not download the file, and of course always use images that you own.

To earn better Local SEO we know that Google really likes consistency. That comes in 2 parts: the 1st would be the 'A' in your N.A.P. and the 2nd would be in your posting schedule. Here's how to be consistent in both.

Episode 3 is all about your Footer, how important it is for Local SEO to have your NAP and a proper clickable phone number in it.  WordPress uses a common hook for you footer so that what you put into the footer section will / should show up on each page but that might not always be the case.  Here's what you need to know and what to look out for.

We've come to expect it. We're hungry and on our phone, we look up our favorite local Pizza place, we see a number and if we click it, we'll be ordering that large Canadian Bacon, Pineapple with extra cheese in moments.  Right? When that doesn't happen, when we have to copy and paste the number, or worse yet, write it down, we get kind of cranky. Google knows it, which is why it's a ranking factor for Local SEO. Google just wants you to be happy. :)

We've come to expect that if you mention another site on your posts or pages, that we won't have to search Google for that site, you'll have a link we can click on right there in your post.  But sending people to an outside source incorrectly is also losing a viewer, a viewer that you worked incredibly hard to get in the first place. Here's what you have to make sure you do every single time.

Facebook is many things to many people. For some it's a way to connect with friends and family and see what's going on in their day to day lives.  For others it's a marketing platform - "Hey look at me, I have something you might want to buy!" (and I think that's ok)
 
For other's it's a place to voice their opinions on politics and other important topics. That's ok too, I like a good healthy conversation. Unfortunately, some people take it further and attack the opinions of others in mean spirited ways. These posts influence nobody and become a yelling match. I'm not ok with that.  I don't want to see that in my Newsfeed. 
 
I recently shared a post entitled "How to Ditch the News Feed Algorithm and Take Back Facebook" which suggest a few ways to use Facebook and see less of the negative stuff.  It suggests that you spend most of your time off the Newsfeed and stay inside Groups and Notifications. While that works, we can do better.  Here's my Secret...
