SEO trends come and go, but not everything is worth the hype. The best SEOs focus on what matters—solving problems, creating great experiences, and driving results. 💪

Confidence comes from strategy, not chasing trends. Cut the noise, stress less, and focus on impact.

Local SEO hasn't been solely about clicks and rankings for a long time. It's about visibility and brand recognition, so you're top of mind. 🏆

@whitespark.ca mentions a metric we should pay attention to is branded searches. 👀

&... what channels are driving valuable conversions?

Last resilience tip from @whitespark.ca is "citations!"

It's easy to ask ChatGPT and other LLMs what sources they pull branded information from and local, industry-relevant citations give you the opportunity to build on this awareness.

Liz Linder @lizlinder.bsky.social · 17d

Resilience tip from Tori Begg, "review velocity as a KPI" so not just on your Google Business profile but on Yelp, GlassDoor, etc. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pay attention to whatever is most relevant to your business and industry.

Liz Linder @lizlinder.bsky.social · 17d

🔥📽️ Resilience tip from @yourfavoriteseo.bsky.social "communication and collaboration" with other marketing teams, like experts in social.

Being visible on other platforms and building your brand authority has continued to gain popularity.

Still chasing rankings like they’re your endgame?

It's time to focus your time on building trust, driving conversions, and meeting people where they’re searching.

Shift your strategies to being top of mind, not just top of the SERP.

Not every SEO trend is your end game—some are red herrings.

But, a strategy that aligns with your goals helps you:

📍 Show up for the right search queries
📍 Reach people who actually convert
📍 Get real buy-in from stakeholders

👍 Let's focus on what moves the needle: youtube.com/shorts/913bI...

💡 What should you test first in SEO?

“You’ve got to weigh it by effort, impact, and the client relationship.”

Great reminder from @celestelili.bsky.social: test what your client’s ready for—not just what might work best.

I ❤️ the new Google Maps carousel layout for GBP!

Here’s how to optimize for it:

🔹 Encourage customers to mention specific products, services, and menu items and add photos, videos, and emojis to their reviews.

🔹 For restaurants: Add detailed menu items with prices to your Profile.
