Smart SEO & Internet Marketing BlogToday is a good day.
Woke up at 5. Decided to sleep in. Passed back out and got back up at 6. Launched a client's site live. Launched two new projects. Took my kids to school. Took my wife to coffee. Make out session. Took a nap. And it's ONLY NOON! So much more to crush. Two meetings. 5...
ChatGPT is going to kill SEO
"ChatGPT is going to kill SEO, omg, totes, arg, blah..." No, it's not. You're just a bandwagoner. I've tested it and every AI tool before it. AI tools like this are not new. There have been countless others before it. A tool called Jasper was all the rage like ChatGPT...

SEO is more than traffic. It’s peace of mind.
$30,000... That's how much a retail client told me they spend in paid ads each month to equate the amount of traffic they are getting organically for only $3k in SEO. ... and the SEO leads convert higher with higher average order value. Paid ads work, but you're...
Parents, your kids see your actions more than hear your words.
You can talk all day about "following your dreams," but if you're not DOING it or helping them do it, probably isn't going to happen. One of my kids wants to start designing and selling t-shirts. So I commissioned him to design me something so I could be his first...
Stop Targeting Only High Volume Search Words
Stop focusing your search engine marketing on words that have the most search volume. Unless you like wasting money. Instead, focus on buyer intent. Do you want to rank higher a lot of things, or make money on specific things? Chuck vanity metrics out the window....
