Course Overview
With all the “noise” in today’s world, it’s critical that brands and business get found when a customer or prospect is looking for them. It’s also critical that your brand is shown in a positive light when the right person is looking for a solution that YOU provide. And that’s exactly what you’ll learn how to do in this Mastery course.
You’ll learn how to leverage search channels such as Google, Amazon, and even local channels such as Yelp to ensure that your brand gets found and that when it’s found the message your prospects see is a positive one.
You’ll Learn:
- The 7-point “Search Health Audit Checklist” that trains you to identify and remove crippling search issues (keyword research, content building, and link building are useless until you remove these problems).
- The 14-point “Web Page Optimization Checklist” you’ll apply to every important page on your website. (Get pages ranked by hunting down and fixing issues like keyword cannibalization, page redirect issues, and dynamic URL parameters.)
- Eight natural ways to build authoritative backlinks to your website, so you can get your site ranked for the keywords that matter without feeling “icky” about it.
- How to leverage search on every platform that matters, from YouTube and Pinterest to Google and Bing. (« There are big gains to be made by understanding how search works on platforms outside of Google.)
