SEO is Back with a Vengeance!

SEO is back with a vengeance! We are seeing some amazing results on page one and page 2 with brand new websites and blog content.

Then I went back to older sites to see how they are doing and they also are showing up on page one.

Google made what most would think is an insignificant change not in their algorithm ( although Google is always updating their algorithm) but rather in the application of serving up the algorithm.

This little seemingly insignificant shift appears to be favoring those of us who are not huge brand names.

Before Google invented their zoo of animals, panda, penguin, pigeon- most of us were rocking it with our SEO. Then with the zoo animals being set loose to wreak their havoc a lot of people lost their income, their leads and their positions almost overnight. The winners through the zoo rotation were the big name brands.

The little guy, small business owners, real estate agents, dentists and marketers took a huge hit because even the past head huncho over at Google said they needed to clean up the ‘cesspool' on the internet and favor the big brands.

Over time the shift tended back again toward quality content and long form content. Then a very interesting shift happened that many people would not notice.

When I started the building the latest 3 websites for clients- we noticed there was a shift back to good content and keywords, so much so, that well, you will need to get on this Free webinar where I will show you what I am talking about and also tell you what we believe may be the reason we are getting these sudden boosts of page one rankings!

I ran a few tests on some brand new niche websites I am building for our real estate company and it held true again.

If you are in real estate- how would you like to rank ahead of Zillow?

If you are a dentist, how would you like to rank ahead of the big directories?

While Google favors big brands, I will show you what we see is happening where the small time brands are able to position themselves out in front!!!

I can’t wait to share what we are finding with you!!!

Content Creation Strategies

Digital Marketing Strategies with Katerina Gasset

In this article I am going to go over the what is working now when creating content. I will share with you what we are doing to get our content to rank quickly and get the Google bots to crawl our site often and index it. 

Creating Content Google Likes

Creating content should be at the top of your list of marketing priorities. Content creation has always been important. But since the Panda update which is in a constant roll out content creation has never been more important.

Google loves not just fresh content but also frequently updated content and also long content. You can also curate content with your added commentary and your own images.

Longer content is the new metric. We used to be able to write 300 to 500 word posts and they would fly to the top of the SERPS. That is changing. Also, searching behavior changes over time. Looking for answers to our questions is taking on a new meaning in search. We want to know in depth answers and how to’s not just a gloss over.

41% of businesses struggle with creating enough content according to Contently.

Obstacles Facing Content Creators


Testing Long Form Content 

Our Wellington Chiropractor is on page one for many chiropractor terms but he was not on page one for Wellington Acupuncture which is another part of his practice.

Since we already have links going to his main website for chiropractic terms and I did not want to start a niche website just for acupuncture we decided to test out Google’s apparent love for long page content of over 2000 words.

I named a main page instead of a post the acupuncture terms that we want to rank for. Then I did the research for acupuncture and wrote over 3000 words of content on this page: Wellington Acupuncture Treatments. I added alt tagged imaged throughout the content for visual appeal, added bullets and sub-titles so readers can easily scan the content.


Research- People Read Long Form 

What Google research has found is that people who are really studying, researching, learning are staying on long content pages. Yes, they are still skimming and scanning but they are staying longer and tend to read more than average if the topic is relevant to their search.

So in this case, someone searching for information about whether they want to get acupuncture treatments or not is going to want to know everything about acupuncture in order to make a decision to call for an appointment or not.

Within 3 hours of publishing the page he was on page one for several geo tagged terms revolving around acupuncture. The phone is already ringing with patients who want to book acupuncture appointments.

Getting Indexed in Google's In-Depth

The added benefit to writing long form content of over 2000 words is you can get an extra indexing spot in Google’s “in-depth” article index. That is something your competitors are most likely NOT doing!


How To Write 2000- 3000 Words 

[bctt tweet="How do you write 2000 words of content?."]

But how do you write 2000 to 3000 words of content on a topic?

It takes time and research.

My goal is to write one 2000 - 3000 word article each week.

A solution for you might look like this:

  • Week 1- Choose topic, do your research, write 500 words of content
  • Week 2- Write 500 more words of content = 1000 words total
  • Week 3 - Write 500 more words of content = 1500 words total
  • Week 4 - Write 500 more words of content = 2000 words total

Add images to the page at one time instead of with each section to save time with the exception of your featured image. 

You can also publish your content on week 1 and then add to it each week until you have the word count you want to achieve. This way you are only going back into your article to edit it, to save some time.

Personally I like to write my content at one or two sittings. Everyone has their own particular writing structure so follow what is best and most comfortable for yourself.

The biggest tip I can give you about content creation is to write first and edit last. If you suffer from perfection paralysis you need to get over it. Good is good enough. Struggling from sentence to sentence is going to take so long you won’t be able to write 2000 + word articles or blog posts or page content on your website.

Not sure how you are going to write to think of 2000 - 3000 words on one article?

  • Choose a main topic.
  • Create some subtopics.
  • Gather up your images.

Use Images to Add Interest

Images will spark your imagination with more content you can write.

We process images way faster than we do text. Humans process images 60,000 times faster than text. That is a lot! Take lots of photos in your niche and also other things that you can use in your posts like:

  • Graphs
  • Infographs 
  • Charts
  • Cartoons 
  • Memes 
  • Stock Images ( make sure to follow the TOS of each company.) 

Research shows that you should have one image for every 350 words of text you write.

You can follow the format I used for the Acupuncture page.

[bctt tweet="Add an image for every 350 words of text"]

Add Video to Long Form Content 

Add a video or a slideshow to your post, article or page for visual appeal and to interest the visual learners and viewers. Get on YouTube now- there is still plenty of room. Engagement on video is growing fast and furious.  Don't miss out on this. 

Read more about YouTube SEO and Periscope tips here. 

Make sure to stay within one main keyword topic and its related keywords and use plenty of semantical terms throughout your content.

Google’s algorithm is smart but not no smart that it can read your mind. You still need to make it clear what topic you are writing about. Another perk to writing long content is that you have more areas and places within your content to sprinkle in your keyword phrases, their related semantical terms and topical relevant textual content.

To this point in this article we are at 625 words of content so far.


Adding Different Forms of Content 

Here are some more ways to add more content to add to your article:

  • Find thought leaders in the topic you are writing about.
  • Read their articles.
  • Find a couple of quotes from the thought leader and quote him or her in your content.
  • Make sure to add his quote in quotes and credit the source.

This technique also gives a nice visual appeal to your article along with helping you attain more credibility.

"When we talk about "content marketing," we mean the creation of storytelling material that attracts readers, viewers and listeners to a brand.     Mashable 

Writing in-depth articles which are quality rich and add value are more likely to get shared than short posts. Educating, informing and entertaining; these are the keys to getting your content shared across the social medial platforms.

Add quotes to your content articles, source your quote for credibility.

Click to Tweet

Answer questions. Make a list of all the questions that your customers, buyers, sellers ask you.

Gather your answers and write articles answering those questions. You don’t really need to create your titles in question format because the algorithms are now smart enough to know what question you are answering.

Ask and Answer Questions 

To write longer content write about more questions and answers.

Instead of the usual Top 3 or Top 5, change the content to Top 20 and Top 25, etc.

To a serious searcher, what do you think they would be more interested in, 3 or 20 things they can learn right now? Also, which one would Google like better?

Since Google is looking for “better” content it is natural that the math adds up to : longer content = better content. We know this is not necessarily true but to a math equation it is.

Check out this graph from SerpIQ from an in-depth study they did:

There is a perk you typically can get from writing longer content: more people tend to share longer content. This helps bring traffic to your site.


Tips To Creating Long Form Content

Digital Marketing Strategies with Katerina Gasset

Keep a notebook, notes on mac or Trello with a running list of ideas to write about. Some of those you many never write about but the important part is to keep the list and keep on adding to it.


A huge time waster is sitting around trying to think of what to write your next blog post about. You can avoid this by keeping an ongoing list.


Take time aside each day - just 10 minutes will do- to get your idea muscle exercised. I like to keep mine in Trello. Here is a video tutorial playlist I created about using Trello to get organized and more. 

Set a goal to come up with 10 ideas in those 10 minutes. 1 idea per minute.

Don’t judge whether they are good ideas or not. Just write them down. Of course some will be good and some will not be. The point is to get into the practice of writing them down.

Speaking of time, choose to write your content when you write the best. Some people write better at night and others early in the morning. Whenever that time is for you is when you set your time aside to write.

Make an appointment with yourself on your calendar to write and then don’t let other distractions get in your way. This is important marketing time. Your writing time should be sacred. Those around you also need to know this is your time to write, stop the interruptions.


Write for the Serious Searcher 

You can also add more content by using words people who are seriously searching look up:

  • Strategies 
  • Ways 
  • Tips
  • Ideas
  • Places 
  • Tactics

Add your keyword to the end of each of those words to create the layout for longer content.

Look at what your competitors are coming up for on the top 10 on Google SERPS in their lists and tip articles and do it better. Google your longtail keywords in Google’s incognito window. Check what content is ranking on the top 10 in the SERPS. Proceed to write a better, more in-depth article about the same topic. You may just outrank the competition using this technique like we did.

Add more detail to your content. Many writers in your space are not adding detail to their content. This can set you apart from the pack and help get you a spot on page one.

Go into detail on every step you write. This alone will add value and more words:).

Back up your claims with verified industry leaders. Most industry leaders publish all kinds of data, survey results and statistics.


Make Content Visually Appealing 

Structure your content so that it is easy to read and easy on the eyes.

[bctt tweet="Structure your content so it's eye candy"]

Before you publish your article make sure to apply the ‘Eye Candy’ test.

Digital Marketing Strategies

Is your article visually appealing?

Don’t make your content a wall of words. That is the fastest way to turn your readers off and they will click right off of your blog or website.

Easy ways to make your content visually appealing:

  • Break up the text by adding images 
  • Use lists with bullet points 
  • Add video to your content 
  • Add subheadings 
  • Break up paragraphs 
  • Use italics for attention
  • Use bolding for attention
  • Use red in your screenshots 
  • Bold your subheadings 
  • Add icons before each point 

Some examples of these are throughout this post you are reading. 


Additional Tips For Great Content 

Make sure your content is:

  • User Friendly 
  • Looks good on mobile devices 
  • Readable 
  • Backed up by verifiable data 
  • In-depth 
  • Clear 
  • Simple 
  • Easy to follow 

People who read very fast stay on pages that have about 100 characters per line while those who read slow like to read about 55 characters per line.

Choosing a character count in the middle is best. Some tests show that 66 characters per line is best. Here are some results from some testing: http://webtypography.net/2.1.2

Also, setting your font size to 16 is now optimal. It is much easier to read.

Here are a few tips in capturing the attention of your readers longer:

Ask questions in your content. This causes the reader to hesitate and think on what you wrote.

Add your images and videos to your article or post so they peek “above the fold” encouraging the scroll.

Add down arrows for this same reason. People are curious.

The last step is to sprinkle your content with your long tail keywords and semantics of those longtail keyword phrases. Do this last so as not to stop your creative flow and the intent of your articles.

To learn more about writing with longtail keywords get started with Fast Track SEO.

Finally, make sure your article or blog page or page you are adding the longer content to is valuable to your readers. Make sure it is of high quality and relatable to your niche readers.

You want to write great content that your readers will stay on your page and read, then call you or connect with you to do business with.

By the way, I am now at 2010 words in this article. This is what it looks like to write a post or page or article with 2000 words.

YouTube is Rocking Your World | Digital Marketing Trends

Katerina Gasset Digital Marketing Strategist YouTube SEO

YouTube is Rocking Your World | Digital Marketing Trends 

YouTube views are up again and there seems to be no stopping the momentum. 

YouTube now has more than 1 BILLION active users! That is a billion with 12 zeros. 

YouTube views are up 60% year by year! This is a marketing phenomena with huge profits and success stories for those who embraced video in the last 7 years. 

Marketing with YouTube SEO for Real Estate agents

I don't believe it is too late if you have not jumped on this wave. You still have time depending on your niche and the saturation of markets. I have not seen any saturation in the real estate space at all. There is a lot more room in this space to grow and capitalize on this wave. 

The biggest surprise announced in Google's quarterly market update was watch times are way up on YouTube. The stats on the YouTube page are not updated very often. So you can catch the latest stats from Google's market updates. 

[ctt title=”Mobile Video Watch Time ” tweet=”Mobile watch time is HUGE! ” coverup=”le8fZ”]

The average MOBILE YouTube session is now 40 minutes!

Now before you start thinking about making super long videos, make sure your niche is involved in those 40 minute watches. My gut, instincts and experience in marketing tells me the 40 minute watch times are for classes, educational videos and watching YouTubers play games or applying makeup, etc.

I really don't see any data showing that these are listing videos 🚫. 

As more and more channels start adding content to YouTube you will see that time increase. It is not slowing down any time soon. Be a part of the wave and this new media. 

There are over 300 hours of video being uploaded to YouTube EVERY MINUTE! 

More people enter YouTube from the YouTube home page than every before, in fact, the number has tripled this year over last. 

Katerina Gasset Digital Marketing Strategist YouTube SEO

We totally get this because we have a Generation Z son who is now 12 years old. 

Generation Z loves YouTube, Twitch, Snapchat and Instagram. I wrote about taking our son to ArcadiaCon- a Minecraft convention here put on by young millionaire YouTubers. I learned so much more about digital marketing from these young people who learned how to build a community of raving fans around these fans watching them play video games. 

Some of the young guys and gals we met make over 7 figures each year on ad share revenue! PewDiePie made $7 Million last year just from ad revenue sharing with YouTube. My son does not watch him because he uses bad language. He is not that kid friendly so if you have kids, you may want to be aware of that. My son likes Captain Sparkles and Bajan Canadian and other clean YouTubers who are very family G rated friendly. 

This is so exciting! I am very excited to announce that the number of YouTube megastars earning 6 figures has increased by 50%. There is still room for more megastars. 

YouTube advertisers have increased their ad spend by 60%. They certainly are not spending those dollars on ads that don't work. This is a new media as far as advertising goes. This is a great place for you to test your niche markets in and the cost of the ads is much lower than Google adwords. 

YouTube has more 18-49 years olds watching than any U.S. cable network. Hmmm, maybe that is why the cable companies made those pesky nasty “little” deals with the government over so called net neutrality- you know the deal where they pretended to be against it? Perhaps they are really trying to figure out a way to recover from all those lost users on cable networks through regulatory measures.

We use Apple TV and Amazon Prime. We cut the cable ties several years ago and so happy we did. We can get YouTube right on our smart TVs. We can also watch movies from iTunes and Prime. There is no reason to pay the price of cable and waste time watching crap or the terribly untruthful media outlets these days. And we are not Generation Z. I think that the entire landscape of digital entertainment is changing and changing very fast. 

The new roll out of YouTube ‘cards' is another way that marketers are looking to capitalize on YouTube. Check out the new cards on YouTube. This is a great way to add some more call to actions to your videos. 

“How To…” videos are among the most watched videos. Think about ways that you can market to your niche with ‘How To' videos.  Let your imagination come up with some how to videos your viewers would love to watch. There is no limit to what you can create in this area. How to searches are also among the most searched terms when doing YouTube searches. 

Of course, with all things marketing and with all the data, make sure it matches your target audience before you jump on the bandwagon. But one thing is very clear- it is time to make videos attractive on all mobile devices. 

While we are on the subject of video, don't forget about Facebook video, Vine and Instagram. And then there is Periscope. 

SEO For Real Estate Agents Digital Marketing Strategies

Tip for using Periscope- on your iPhone when you download the app, open up your settings and click to add to iPhone library option. Then right when you start Periscoping, you will be prompted if you want to save to your phone. Click yes. You can always delete it later. When you save to your phone you can then upload your Periscope videos to your YouTube account. Then delete them from your phone.  Otherwise, your livestreams will only save for 24 hours on the Periscope servers. 

Tip for video editing if you are a beginner or just want to save time- there is no longer a need to have video editing software. Save the money and the learning curve. Edit right in the improved YouTube editor. We have macs and still love to work in our favorite app, Screenflow for mac. YouTube editor is so simple to use. You can add your captions, call to actions, link to your other videos, add your cards, add still shots and video… then choose music right from the YouTube music library so you don't get any Copyright flags. 

Oh yes, be careful when you are Periscoping live events. Think twice before saving those to share on your YouTube channels. We Periscoped our Wellington Fireworks event for Independence Day and Wellington city played a bunch of music during the fireworks. I shared it and boom! Got 12 or more Copyright notices in less than 5 hours!!! You know, you don't think about the music when you are Periscoping because you are not the one playing the music. So be careful about that. 

You should also set your account on YouTube to notify you of any alerts. That is how I found out so quickly. In this instance, I can leave it alone because I am not doing anything with the video. But there have been times when I have used our Apple Photo library slideshow music which we have permission to use and Apple owns the rights to. I get a notice and in those situations I appeal the violation because we do have permission to use the music, I win every time I appeal. So don't be afraid to appeal if you get flagged for music that you do have permission to use. 

To get started making videos set aside time each week to do so. The fastest way to do video is to choose a day each week where you go out to take video. You can most likely get enough video shot for an entire month of short 60 second videos. Taking all your videos on one day will save you a lot of time. 

Then choose another day to edit your videos.  Choose another day to upload them. Then the next day you can do your SEO for your videos. Publish about 2 to 3 videos a week and you should be set. 

Then you can take those 60 second videos and create shorts from them to upload to Vine and Instagram. 

Strive over time for excellence but drop the perfection disorder at the door. Good is good enough! 

Take action now. Start making videos!

Listing Experts Academy Members are ROCKING the SERPS!!! 

This is so exciting. There is nothing that makes a coach or teacher more excited than witnessing and being a part of the student's (members) successes. 

When you follow the steps that are set forth in a systematic fashion you get results. 

Taking your listings back has been a huge part of Listing Experts Academy for over a year now. It is awesome to see LEA members' listings on page one on Google. 

There was a time when SEO gurus would make fun of you if you tried to rank your listings on page one for address. Well, they can laugh while you get more listings and more buyers because now it is very important to have your listings ranking by address. 

Buyers drive by your listings. They don't want to talk to you because they may not be ready to buy yet, they don't want the pressure and a thousand other reasons so they don't call you. 

But they do Google the address! 

Take back your listings. 

Then there are your niche keywords. Can you overcome the big box sites on the SERPS? 

Of course you can! You do this by knowing your niche, speaking directly to your avatar and engaging them into your conversation. This builds trust, then the best part of all, the prospective buyer or seller call you because they actually want to work with you. 

That does not happen with lead generation done mega style or with PPC campaigns. 

This happens one customer at a time. One call at a time. It works. 

But don't take my word for it… check out this climbing up the SERPS by some of our Listing Experts Academy members.

 No,  this is not a get rich scheme. This is not a short cut product. It does take effort and consistency.
