Malware in your contact forms 03/23/2021

Malware in your contact forms 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. /episode/index/show/areweconnected/id/18442253

Local SEO Ep2: Your Phone Number 10/28/2019

Local SEO Ep2: Your Phone Number 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. :) /episode/index/show/areweconnected/id/11815070
