For this episode of Clienting, Gyi and Kelly answered marketing questions from former Clienting guests.

Audio questions: 

  • Alex Barthet-
    • Blog called the Lien Zone about construction topics- trying to show up on SERP's as the featured snippet. Single best thing to do to appear in the snippets? Should he care about showing up in the snippets? 
      • How? The content should answer a question, must be high-quality (comprehensive, entertaining/engaging, etc), has to be 'the best answer.' 
        • Search for what you want to rank for, see what comes up. Also look at the People Also Ask box
        • Create something better
        • Already showing up in page 1 is a good place to start
        • Keep paragraphs short (40-50 words) and structure the content with bullets, etc.
      • Should you care?

    • If you could only recommend one or two kinds of content to create and market, what would that look like? Where to put your energy right now if you feel like maybe this is an area that has been lacking.

Written questions: 

  • Sam Glover- 
    • What Yoast SEO plugin settings should I check or change after installing it on a new website? And is the pro version worth paying for?
  • Erin Levine- 
    • What platform do you use to build sites for clients? WordPress? Wix? Why?
    • If a client has a limited budget and wants to work with you, what do you suggest that they start with first? Updating website? SM presence?
    • Do your copywriter services including pitching to media? If not, do you have a go to resource to help guide us on that endeavor?
    • When planning marketing services for a particular client, what factors do you consider besides the obvious (budget)? Size of firm? Where the clients are?
