Like it or not, your business success depends upon how well you abide by

There are some Very Critical Facts that more than likely your Webmaster has not told you.

If you come away from this Smarter App with just One Thing, this section should be it.

The future of your business could very well be at stake, it's that important.

The SEO Folks aren't giving it to you Straight.

When they try to manipulate rankings, Google doesn't like that.
The retaliation is Swift and Fierce, and YOUR SITE just might get de-listed.

Your Online Presence is in Jeopardy

The overwhelming majority of these S.E.O. Scammers don't have a clue...

Calls and Emails

There are Thousands of S.E.O. Scammers calling and emailing. If they haven't found you yet, they will.

Keywords?

A dead giveaway is when they talk about Keywords.
Google stopped using Keywords 2 years ago.
(We show their video.)

Algorithm Changes

Why do you think Google keeps making all their Algorithm changes?
See Below.

Google has been Up Front

For two years now Google has been sounding the alarms and they've made no secret of not only what they want and will accept, but the consequences of non-compliance.

Been getting calls from those online Scammers promising to vault you to the top of Google?

In reality, they can't do much. It usually takes a few months of paying their outrageous fees, but sooner or later you figure it out.

Folks, it's a Big Deal

This is information you simply MUST KNOW.

  • As you saw above on the "Rules of Engagement" Google has been very up front about what they need.
  • If your online presence is over 6 months old you are probably already out of compliance.
  • There are, however, a very small number of S.E.O. folks who know what they are doing but they are in the minority and chances are you haven't found one.

What is the best way to get Better Page Rankings on Google?

A so-called S.E.O. Expert may not be your best choice.
Why do you think Google keeps making all those changes?

You are intelligent, think about it. Every few months there is another major update. All the webmasters scramble, the SEO guys renew their calls to you, the cycle renews.
Google does this to STOP the SEO scammers from forcing artificial rankings. Granted, the vast majority of them have very little effect, but for those that do, Google doesn't like it when folks don't follow the rules and their retaliation is SEVERE. They are now starting to de-list sites that don't comply, and if you are de-listed from Google you may as well close the doors.
But these scammers don't care because it's Your Business that gets de-listed, not theirs. They already have the next sucker lined up.

  • When they try to Force Rankings, Google notices.
  • Google also notices false or artificially created back links.
  • You will not fake out Google and if you try, you just might be in serious trouble.
  • And the Worst part is you don't even get a warning. Your site is simply de-listed. And even then, there is NO WAY to contact Google, go ahead, try it.
  • There are, however, a very small number of SEO folks who do know what they are doing but chances are you haven't found one yet.

95% of the self-proclaimed SEO Experts don't have a clue.

Your own Company Video 

Consider this,
Google Owns Youtube.
You Must have your own company video, streamed on YouTube, and linked from your Google AMP or Progressive Web App.
We have dozens of options for video if you don't already have one, and nobody beats our price.

Folks, this is a critical element. Google now gives even higher rankings to businesses with a YouTube Video streamed on the landing page, and streaming with either Google AMP or Google PWA is aother major plus.
