i was confused by some of the current conversation about "avoiding" plagiarism, but having found a post with a bunch of anecdotes from being being confused..... yeah, okay, i think some people on here actually have no idea how to write an analysis at all??? for academic papers (a casual blog post would have a lower burden):
if you quote someone directly, you obviously have to cite them, and also put quotation marks around what you're quoting.
if you're reporting someone else's thoughts, ideas, findings, etc, you have to cite it. yes, even if you're paraphrasing/rewording it
it's bad form to not contextualize what you're quoting or paraphrasing (when necessary), to prevent twisting your source's arguments into something they probably weren't trying to say
if your entire paper is summarizing and quoting other people, you probably haven't done any original analysis and you probably haven't made any arguments of your own. this is okay for some papers (like a literature review), but if you're in a class, it's almost definitely not what you're meant to be doing
it's totally normal to paraphrase other people. you just say, "So-and-so argued ABC [citation]. However, Such-and-such would later make the counterargument that XYZ [citation]. Here I propose a compromise between So-and-so and Such-and-such: [your own ideas here]." or even "Here I argue So-and-so's original argument has more merit. [Explain why you think this, perhaps using other people's work as evidence.]"

Thinking again (more, lmao) about The Contentious Chapter 45, and my Why It Needed to Happen thesis, so here are some more semi-organized thoughts on this topic:
Why It Needed to Happen: Yan Wushi edition. So, we don't ever really know what specifically Yan Wushi went through/experienced in his life and more specifically his childhood - we get hints here and there that seem to imply or can be interpreted to be that he's gone through some shit as Xie Ling, and that's (partly? mostly?) what led him to reinvent himself as Yan Wushi, and then there's also the New Years Extra that has a line about how he'd (already) witnessed countless evils borne of the human heart - but the text does tell us he has this belief that human nature is wicked, slash humans can be pushed to do wicked things no matter how "good" they may think themselves to be. As far as YWS knew by Chap 45, SQ was no different -- he'd received no proof yet that SQ was different, he just hadn't found SQ's bottom line. This is sort of similar to the abused child or abused dog thing, where they will lash out to try to provoke the abuse they're expecting either to "get it over with" or so they know where the line is with this new person (except these are purposeful tests that YWS is doing and not like a reactionary mechanism). Basically, this needed to happen for YWS to know/believe that Shen Qiao is different from what he's observed of human nature -- he needed this proof of concept that the world isn't just rival(/rival peers) -- the closest to equals he has, and rabble. This needed to happen to show/prove - to him and the reader - that there may be a thousand Chen Gong's in the world, but there is only one Shen Qiao.
Why It Needed to Happen: Shen Qiao edition. Shen Qiao is a good guy, but he WAS very sheltered and naive. He holds his beliefs firmly, but his worldly experience was limited and so his character was untried. It's the "it's easy to be a good person when you're rich" idea -- he doesn't know if he has a bottom line yet if he would snap. It's easy to say that you will stay true to your principles when they're not tested - it's when they're put under the stress test that you can truly say that you know yourself and your character. Yan Wushi threw him into a fire, yes, but in many ways this was a tempering of his character, much as one would temper steel. This whole experience very much was an absolute low for Shen Qiao, and it's easy to see fire (analogy) as only destructive, but fire can also be a creative force -- e.g. the forging/tempering analogy from earlier, fires used to clear out brush and weeds choking up the land so that new growth can germinate in the new fire-enriched soil, that kind of thing. This isn't to say that Shen Qiao doesn't experience agony in this metaphoric fire, but he also very much textually experiences a sort of epiphany and rebirth. This is both a spiritual (character-based) sort of rebirth, as well as a rebirth of his wugong. It's after this and after traveling with Yan Wushi that we see Shen Qiao exhibiting much more wisdom when it comes to people, where he's not just naively believing and expecting the good in everyone (I don't have specific citations but iirc this is textual, there's whole parts where it's like, before he might have thought x, but now having traveled with YWS he knows xyz, etc.) Yes this was "bad," maybe, but it tempered Shen Qiao, catalyzed his recovery/"rebirth," and overall led to the strengthening of his wugong and his character. (The conversation they have in Chapter 124 underscores this point, actually.)
Why It Needed to Happen: Yanshen edition. Or maybe more like, what does it do for us from a yanshen perspective lol. Cuz imo, it does a lot. I've posted about this elsewhere before lol, but like aside from the above for the YWS side of things, an argument can also be made that this was YWS going "wait. oh shit, I'm experiencing... feelings? for him" (narrator voice: that feeling was friendship, although he had never experienced it before) and like, lashing out at Shen Qiao like "that'll show you for thinking of me as a friend (and maybe making me feel friend-like feelings towards you..)" -- he was already softening before this (him digging that grave for the dead boy unasked, for example), and the way he's like. ....so you think of me as a... friend? before he pulls the rug from under SQ's feet. But this is important because it tells us that YWS *does* care. He's flippant and teasing and gives the impression that he does it for personal amusement and not really out of affection or anything, so really Shen Qiao may be his latest target of amusement, but it could be anyone. But the fact that he reacted like this to Shen Qiao declaring him a friend instead of just dismissing him as not being worthy of being his friend, not being on his level, etc (I mean he does also do that, but it's not the FIRST thing he does, and also I'd argue that when he Declared it contextually he was purposefully trying to hurt Shen Qiao's feelings), or like, just laughing at him and ridiculing SQ for something so preposterous -- this tells us that he IS feeling some kind of way about Shen Qiao already, that something HAS changed and Shen Qiao went from "latest disposable amusement" to at least "point of fascination." We're not in the endgame yet with this, but it does show that for all that Yan Wushi is trying to influence and "experiment" on Shen Qiao, traveling with Shen Qiao/being around him is conversely having an effect on him, too. That he's not just some unchangeable flat "evil" archetype but is also a complex character that responds to stimulus/reacts to his environment and is capable of being influenced by Shen Qiao. Theirs isn't just a one-sided relationship of one influencing the other or one trying to change the other-- it already by this point is a mutual communion between the opposing but complementary worldviews they hold and embody. They're already like if the taijitu were people (sans the dots in each section-- that comes through the course of the story with their mutual temperings). The same or similar actually holds for the SQ side of things too. Actually, the very fact that he feels anguish from this act and finds it a betrayal is also a very huge indication that Shen Qiao also already cares. I mean, yes, he declared YWS his friend, but like YWS said when they were burying the boy - you didn't even cry when your shidi Yu Ai betrayed you - or later when YWS was about to face Hulugu and SQ says if he were to do it, it would seem natural, but if a friend were to do it, he'd worry. and YWS is like, a friend? If LQY were to face Hulugu would you feel the same way? -- Basically, a similar idea holds here. Would you feel the same way if it were someone else? Yu Ai betrayed him, we didn't see him experience this level of individual, personal anguish. Chen Gong betrayed him, he just kind of sighed and moved on. But coming from Yan Wushi... he reflects on how much it hurt, actually. I still hold to my theory that SQ fell first and by this point was already at least kind of in love with YWS, but even that aside, the very fact that this "betrayal" hurt SQ shows that Shen Qiao, like Yan Wushi, despite seeming above worldly/petty matters slash is disconnected from such normal-people-problems like getting your feelings hurt or, godforbid, heartbreak -- are very much not above that, at least, not when it comes to each other. They're not just two ships passing each other in the night -- they're already mutually entangled together, and this growing bond will only grow stronger as they travel more together

As Mont (2013) stated “A major issue for boards and senior management is knowing how far down to vet their supply chain”. How far down should chocolate manufacturers vet their supply chain? What about regulations or protocols that are self-policing or voluntary? Why do think the issue of child labor persists in this industry? What does Cooper (2012) mean when he states that “There have been many false dawns in the history of this issue.”? Question #2: Given the recent media attention surrounding supply chain accountability for forced labor, the CEO of the XYZ Inc. is concerned about the company’s most profitable brand of canned seafood.

While in Thailand, she has difficulty getting answers from the government as well as the captains from the fishing vessels. Many non-governmental organizations discuss stories of human rights violations including exploitation and trafficking that are used to support the seafood export industry. Upon returning to the home office in the United States, Elizabeth Morrisey is asked to summarize the risks in this supply chain and the best long-term approach to this situation. What ethical concerns should she highlight? How should she counter the argument that Thailand is the company’s largest supplier of
seafood for their profitable products? In what way can the company make the supply chain more accountable? Please see grading rubric below.

❍❍❍ Definition and Definition of Film / Movie ❍❍❍ While the players who play a role in the film are referred to as actors (men) or actresses (women). There is also the term extras that are used as supporting characters with few roles in the film. This is different from the main actors who have bigger and more roles. Being an actor and an actress must be demanded to have good acting talent, which is in accordance with the theme of the film he is starring in. In certain scenes, the actor’s role can be replaced by a stuntman or a stuntman. The existence of a stuntman is important to replace the actors doing scenes that are difficult and extreme, which are usually found in action action films. Films can also be used to convey certain messages from the filmmaker. Some industries also use film to convey and represent their symbols and culture. Filmmaking is also a form of expression, thoughts, ideas, concepts, feelings and moods of a human being visualized in film. The film itself is mostly a fiction, although some are based on fact true stories or based on a true story. There are also documentaries with original and real pictures, or biographical films that tell the story of a character. There are many other popular genre films, ranging from action films, horror films, comedy films, romantic films, fantasy films, thriller films, drama films, science fiction films, crime films, documentaries and others. That’s a little information about the definition of film or movie. The information was quoted from various sources and references. Hope it can be useful. ❍❍❍ TV MOVIE ❍❍❍ The first television shows were experimental, sporadic broadcasts viewable only within a very short range from the broadcast tower starting in the 1930s. Televised events such as the 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany, the 19340 coronation of King George VI in the UK, and David Sarnoff’s famous introduction at the 1939 New York World’s Fair in the US spurred a growth in the medium, but World War II put a halt to development until after the war. The 19440 World MOVIE inspired many Americans to buy their first television set and then in 1948, the popular radio show Texaco Star Theater made the move and became the first weekly televised variety show, earning host Milton Berle the name “”Mr Television”” and demonstrating that the medium was a stable, modern form of entertainment which could attract advertisers. The first national live television broadcast in the US took place on September 4, 1951 when President Harry Truman’s speech at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco was transmitted over AT&T’s transcontinental cable and microwave radio relay system to broadcast stations in local markets. The first national color broadcast (the 1954 Tournament of Roses Parade) in the US occurred on January 1, 1954. During the following ten years most network broadcasts, and nearly all local programming, continued to be in black-and-white. A color transition was announced for the fall of 1965, during which over half of all network prime-time programming would be broadcast in color. The first all-color prime-time season came just one year later. In 19402, the last holdout among daytime network shows converted to color, resulting in the first completely all-color network season. ❍❍❍ Formats and Genres ❍❍❍ See also: List of genres § Film and television formats and genres Television shows are more varied than most other forms of media due to the wide variety of formats and genres that can be presented. A show may be fictional (as in comedies and dramas), or non-fictional (as in documentary, news, and reality television). It may be topical (as in the case of a local newscast and some made-for-television films), or historical (as in the case of many documentaries and fictional MOVIE). They could be primarily instructional or educational, or entertaining as is the case in situation comedy and game shows.[citation needed] A drama program usually features a set of actors playing characters in a historical or contemporary setting. The program follows their lives and adventures. Before the 1980s, shows (except for soap opera-type serials) typically remained static without story arcs, and the main characters and premise changed little.[citation needed] If some change happened to the characters’ lives during the episode, it was usually undone by the end. Because of this, the episodes could be broadcast in any order.[citation needed] Since the 1980s, many MOVIE feature progressive change in the plot, the characters, or both. For instance, Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere were two of the first American prime time drama television MOVIE to have this kind of dramatic structure,[4][better source needed] while the later MOVIE Babylon 5 further exemplifies such structure in that it had a predetermined story running over its intendevd five-season run.[citvatio””&n needed] In 2020, it was reported that television was growing into a larger component of major media companies’ revenues than film.[5] Some also noted the increase in quality of some television programs. In 2020, Academy-Award-winning film director Steven Soderbergh, commenting on ambiguity and complexity of character and narrative, stated: “”I think those qualities are now being seen on television and that people who want to see stories that have those kinds of qualities are watching television. ❍❍❍ Thank’s For All And Happy Watching❍❍❍ Find all the movies that you can stream online, including those that were screened this week.

So since I got tinnitus, I joined a bunch of related Facebook groups to keep up to date on how people deal with theirs, and man if those places aren't a circle of hell. Negativity in social media is nothing new, but it gets a mega boost when the people involved are suffering meaninglessly in their real lives. The worst offenders inevitably turn up in the Tinnitus Success Stories room. Everybody knows tinnitus is chronic and doesn't have any pharmaceutical treatments available, so this is really a place for people to talk about their positive experiences with things like meditation, diet, habituation therapies, psychological coping techniques, or even just to say that their tinnitus actually went away, which occasionally happens, just to give the rest of us hope or something to think about. Of course, the title of the group alone tends to piss people off. People will make posts lambasting the lack of success stories in the group, by which they seem to mean "cures", which don't exist. Then if somebody posts something that helps them, with the assumption that it might also work for *some* other people, then a bunch of jerks will jump in to angrily denounce the post as worthless because it wouldn't work for them individually, due to XYZ granular factors about their own condition. I saw one poor guy post that listening to recitations of the Quran gives him peace, and a bunch of people piled on him for "preaching", because people in general are too dumb and mean to determine when things don't apply to them personally, and aren't even meant to--but in the case of tinnitus sufferers, a lot of them are just lashing out in abject rage because they don't know how else to give vent to their feelings about what is happening to them. Not infrequently, someone posts that they have to leave the group in despair because they can't handle all this wrathful behavior that seems designed to make sure everyone is equally miserable and defeated. Just this morning somebody made such a post, and a few people jumped in, some with "stay strong" type of messages, and some lamenting the dearth of legitimate success stories as usual. But, of course, one guy had to leave a reply that just said "Waaaaaahhhh", a more concise form of WHY DON'T YOU CRY ABOUT IT YOU FUCKING BABY. I wondered who the fuck this asshole could be, as I often do with trolls, and looked at his page. The results didn't exactly surprise me. His self description declared him a child of God who has a space reserved for him in heaven. His posts were something like 60% Bible citations, 30% angry memes about how global warming is fake, and then assorted other conservative garbage like how only guns can protect you from the government (uh, Waco anyone?), Trump is great because he's not politically correct (as if that has anything to do with strategy or organization or foresight or leadership or general presidentialness), and also how Fox News has determined that political correctness is literally causing a literal genocide of American christians and I CANNOT HANDLE THE FACT THAT PEOPLE THINK THIS. Pretty much nothing at all about the famous christian kindness, self-sacrifice, and humility that I'm pretty sure are all teachings of Christ. Where did that go? How did we get to this state where so many self-described christians make a habit of attacking bleeding heart lefties for trying to promote the very principles that at least used to be associated with Jesus? Why is it that whenever I see someone being a straight up bully online, there is an extremely good chance that that person claims membership in a religion that that is heavily based on forgiveness and even martyrdom? My analysis is that it just takes a lot of strength to obey the commandments and discipline yourself away from greed, wrath, pride, etc. It is a much easier mental feat, to convince yourself that there is a heaven and hell and a guy in the sky who watches everything you do, and that all you really need to do is believe in the supernatural in order to enjoy eternal reward. For a lot of people, it is way easier to believe in the immortal spirit of a basic Santa Clause type of guy, and demonic entities under the ground, than it is to keep yourself from being a total cock to people who are both suffering from chronic illnesses and being bullied for trying to stay positive. It makes my fucking head spin but it has to be true. (PS I had to log in to the browser version to post this, because just as it's been for years now, the mobile app cannot handle text posts of this length. WAAAAHHHH.)

HOW TO PREPARE APPROPRIATE LEGAL DOCUMENTS FOR COURT PROCEEDINGS?
Usually, legal documents format vary in their content. There are mainly three basic types of legal documents, including letters such as demand, notice, and negotiation letters. These documents can be prepared without seeking any help from an advocate.
Introduction.
There could be a time when you might need to draft legal documents. For all you know, as a lawyer, you could be drafting an international contract one day or for a lawsuit, contracts, or negotiations the other. Or, often in life, you will come across various legal documents. To make sure everything is on point, it is necessary to understand what should be included in that document, the format of the document, and finally, how to draft it so that it gets the legal sanction.
Usually, legal documents format vary in their content. There are mainly three basic types of legal documents, including letters such as demand, notice, and negotiation letters. These documents can be prepared without seeking any help from an advocate. You can write letters and notices to resolve disputes without filing a lawsuit. Letters are often written in response to demand or offer and as notice to initiate court proceedings.
Other documents that are generally needed in the course of a court trial include directives, agreements, contracts and pleadings. Pleading can be a petition, complaint, or affidavit. Wills and trusts are also types of directives.
An agreement mentions obligations/promises made by parties to one another and series to carry out the business/transaction. You might need an advocate if you intend to make a legal notarized contract. Different documents have different formats and content; some similar documents would even have different requirements varying from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Following are a few points to keep in mind for appropriate legal documents drafting for court proceedings-
Research Material.
If you intend to prepare your legal documents without any assistance from an advocate, you will need to consider the following.
• Research sample documents on the internet
• Visit the public library to get more information
• Contact the clerks of the appropriate court to understand the exact legal format of the required documents.
• Before drafting, you should outline your objectives that need to be addressed in the documents.
If documents are pleadings that need to be filed in court, it's better to hire a lawyer to draft your documents as they are professionally trained, legally competent, and aware of the rules followed in that specific jurisdiction.
You can even resort to online software to draft standard legal documents. However, at times, this software fails to deliver specialized products and hence it's better to hire an advocate as he can prepare a customized draft.
You can obtain a format for legal documents like letters and agreements on their state court's websites. Usually, these websites provide forms that can be used for references. If not a state court's site, many law-oriented websites provide formats, samples of legal documents that you can refer to.

Drafting.
Before you start drafting a legal document, the first and foremost task is to give it an appropriate heading. It can be a letter containing letterhead or title of the agreement or case caption depending upon the type of the draft. Letterhead includes information such as –
• Name
• Address
• Telephone number
• Fax number of the writer
• Logi/sign of the firm/company.
The data can differ depending upon what kind of information you intend to give,
Title: The title of the agreement would include the name of the agreement, the chief purpose of the agreement as a heading in a large/bold format.
Pleading Documents: In pleading documents, you would even add case captions, including the name of the parties, city, state, court, and case number. It may also have the address of the parties or their phone numbers, etc., including the definitions section if needed.
Many legal documents have a definitions section in the beginning, to make the document more readable and less superfluous. For example, "Stark Technologies Pvt Ltd" can be addressed as "company" in the document to reduce redundancy.
Date: Also, it is important to mention the date in the document, especially if the date of drafting is supposedly different from the date of enforcement.
Objective: After adding an appropriate title and date, you should establish the objectives which need to be accomplished in the body of the draft document.
Font: To draft the document more efficaciously, you should use a readable font such as Times New Roman.
Division & Language: You should make divisions in the draft containing a variety of relevant topics that are overall exhaustive. The language of the document should be formal and should not contain excessive legal jargon. It should be reasonable as in the case of the agreement; the other party should find the terms of the agreement readable and comprehensible before complying with them. It should be clear from ambiguity, and important points should be conveyed with clarity.
Citation: You can cite relevant legislation according to the standard uniform style of citation—for instance, bluebook.
Formatting.
• You should ensure the format of the draft should conform with the formatting rules of the court in the jurisdiction. For example, typeface, sections, font, margin, line-spacing, etc.
• You should provide a line for the signature of the relevant authority.
• You should also thoroughly proofread the document to ensure if objectives are mentioned with utmost clarity.
•Correct any lexical, spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors you spot.
• After completing the said prerequisites to draft a document, you should file it in the appropriate court if you intend to make the document official or give it legal force.
• Make sure you sign it along with other parties to the contract or have it notarized by a public official. This will make the document legally enforceable.
• Apart from the aforementioned things one should keep in mind, it's necessary that the document's tone is in an active voice in drafting any documents. For instance, it should be "Party A shall pay party B, XYZ amount on fulfilment of CDF obligations" Instead of "XYZ amount of payment will be given to party B by party A only after party A successfully fulfils the CDF obligations as decided by both parties."
• The document should be clear and specific and not ambiguous. For example, "The access should be granted only to few people" should be instead "Only 3 people will be granted access" Thus, the document should be more clear and specific.
•Lastly, one should avoid using a lot of legal jargon since people party to the contract won't be able to understand it, so it should be clear, simpler, yet professional. For example, "Both parties should not act au contraire to contractual obligations as it would be illegal and unscrupulous on their part" should instead be "Both parties are bound to fulfil contractual obligations."
You could be an aspiring advocate or a layman; by considering these pointers, the document would be more accurate, specific, and simple.

Top Digital Marketing Strategies For Electricians
Shoutout Digital – SEO Agency Top Digital Marketing Strategies For Electricians
Most of the Electrical Contractors out there built their business who’s been around for 10,20, and 30+ years have built their business based on high-quality services, word-of-mouth and referrals.
In this blog post, we are sharing some of the best ways to market your Electrical Contractor Company online.
Over the last 5-10 years, the competition has grown fierce, and the shift on how consumers interact with business has also changed dramatically. In today’s digital age, 97% of consumers go online to find the local business.
Electrical contractors who embraced the digital age have grown significantly. At the same time, the ones who are still stuck with the old ways of doing business just plateaued or worst they had to close the company due to the market saturation and fierce competition.
If you want your Electrical contracting business to grow in 2020, you need to start marketing yourself online and start implementing strategies on how you can dominate your competition.
Using digital marketing can help establish your business as the go-to electrical contractor in your area as well as generate more sales and leads predictably.
  1. You Need a Great Website
Your website is your central hub of all your digital marketing efforts, so it just makes sense that having a great looking and highly-optimised website is a must.
In 2020, just having a website is not going to cut it anymore. You need to have a great looking website with a user-friendly interface.
According to a recent study, 75% of people have judged a company’s credibility based on its website design and 48% say it’s the top factor in assessing a company’s credibility.
  Here’s an example of one of our website design. A great looking website with the primary goal of getting as many leads as possible while giving consumers and browsers an excellent user experience.
  2. Optimise Your Google My Business Listing
Google My Business is one of the most important aspects of online marketing, especially for Electrical Contractors who want to serve their local area.
A recent survey says that 70% of consumers who are searching for an Electrician in the local area ends up calling/booking the business in the local snack pack.
Here’s what a local snack pack look’s like for the search term Mandurah Electrician.
  If your business is not showing up in the local snack pack, then you are losing a lot of calls and potential customers.
Here are some Google My Business optimisation tips that you can implement today.
  Tip 1: Establish a consistent NAP ( Name, Address & Phone number )
You need to establish a consistent NAP across the internet, on your website, as well as on the major business listing websites like Yellowpages, Yelp, Truelocal and Whitepages.
Consistent Name – Pick the format for your business name & stick with it. We recommend using your trading name instead of the legal business name. For example XYZ Electrical instead of XYZ Electrical Pty Ltd
Consistent Address – if your business address comes with Suite’s and Units, make sure it matches everywhere.
Consistent Phone Number – You want to use the same number on each of these sites.
Tip 2: Get Reviews
Reviews are a key ranking factor within the map listings.
As a practice, you need to request reviews from your customers to get them. A strategy that we use takes a three-step approach:
Send an initial email to your clients asking them for a review
Keep an open ear for happy customers and ask if they are willing to write a review
Have a review us card printed and give it to your customers after every completed service
Tip 3: Build Out Your My Business Page
Fill your My Business page with quality content. Add all ten photos of your office, staff, company logo, fleet and equipment
Upload a video. This video doesn’t necessarily need to be high quality or professionally produced. Break out your mobile phone and take a few video shots. Record yourself ( Owner or Manager ) explaining who the company is, what you do, and what your unique selling proposition is.
Tip 4: Select The Right Categories
You have the option to choose up to 5 categories. It is essential to select the appropriate categories and add new custom categories, as needed.
  Tip 5: Increase Your Citations
All the things being equal, citations are a critical determining factor of ranking. Just like in SEO where in-bound links determine the ranking with local listings, citations determine the ranking. Whoever got the most quality citation wins.
Citations are listings across the web that contain your NAP with or without a link.
Add your business to business directories. 
Click here to find the most relevant local listing for your type of business.
  3. Invest On A Good Quality SEO ( Search Engine Optimisation )
  Now that you’ve decided to get a great looking website. You need to start optimising your on-page ( website ) and off-page ( other websites ), so search engines like Google & Bing will look at your site as the authority for certain topics or search terms.
Majority of Electricians out there haven’t invested anything to optimise their website, or worst they tried a $399 per month SEO service hoping that’s enough to start ranking on the first page fo Google.
Here are some of the primary key points that you need to take care of your on-page SEO.
Unique Title on Each Page
H1 Tag of your Main Keyword
Image Alt-tag with Main Keyword
URL Should contain page keyword
Anchor Text on each page and built into the footer
XML Sitemap should be created and submitted to Google Search Console
You also need to start creating more relevant pages for your website.
A typical home service business website has only 5 – 6 pages ( Home, About Us, Our Services, Reviews and Contact Us ) That does not create a lot of indexation or place holders on significant search engines. Most contractors provide a wide variety of services.
By building out a website and creating separate pages for each of those services ( Combined with city modifiers ), Your business can get listed on search engines for each of those different keyword combinations.
Here’s an example of how we would typically build a website for an Electrical company in Mandurah:
Home – About Us – Customer Reviews – Contact Us
Sub Pages for Each Service – Emergency Electrician, Residential Electrician, Commercial Electrician, and so on.
Most Electricians provide services in multiple suburbs or cities outside their primary suburb. To be found on the search engines for each of those suburbs, additional pages need to be created.
Sub Pages for Each Suburb They Service – Rockingham Electrician, Baldivis Electrician, Bunbury Electrician, Port Kennedy Electrician etc.
Remember:
Google Ranks Pages Not Websites
  So the more relevant pages you create, the higher your chances of showing up on the Google search results.
If you decided to hire a reputable SEO Agency, make sure the SEO company is only practicing white-hat strategies.
Black-hat strategies can give you a quick boost but eventually once Google finds out that Black-hat strategies are used on your website they can potentially wipe your online visibility.
White-hat strategies can take longer but a good SEO strategy takes time but it’s all worth it once you are on the top spot.
Don’t forget about your inbound links or backlinks.
Once the pages are built out and the On-page SEO is complete, the next step is getting inbound links.
Everything you have done to this point is laying the foundation or groundwork – you have the pages in order to even be in the running but it is the number of QUALITY inbound links to those pages that is going to determine your ranking in the Google search results.
So once the pages are built we are really just getting started. The only way to get your site to rank above your competition is by having more quality links to your site than your competitors.
There are number of things you can do to increase the number of inbound links to your site.
Association Links – Be sure that you have a link to your site from any industry associations that you belong to.
Directory Listings – Get your site listed on as many quality directory type listing as possible.
Create Interesting Content / Articles about your industry – This is probably the number 1 source of inbound links because you can write an article about your industry and push it to thousands of article directory sites, each containing a link back to a specific page on your site.
Here are some of the most important directories where you need to list your business.
Maps.Apple.com
Facebook.com
Bing.com
Foursquare.com
Tomtom.com
au.kompass.com
truelocal.com.au
yellowpages.com.au
infobel.com
yelp.com.au
spoke.com
communitywalk.com
factual.com
hotfrog.com.au
brownbook.net
au.showmelocal.com
cybo.com
startlocal.com.au
lacartes.com
2findlocal.com
dlook.com.au
localbd.com.au
You can add your company to most of these directory free of charge and that will service its purposes from a citation development perspective.
Visit click here to find the most important listing you need to be in for every industry.
When you are adding your company listing on the directories listed above make sure you enter a consistent NAP ( Name, Address, Phone Number)
If you build out your site for your services and sub-services , optimise the pages using SEO best practices and then systematically obtain inbound links to those pages and sub-pages, you will start to DOMINATE the search engines.
  4.Don’t Forget About Your Social Media
There is a lot of Buzz around Social Media ( Facebook, Twitter, Youtube ) but how can social media be leveraged by an Electrical Contractor Company? How can you actually use social media to grow your business?
It starts with understand that social media is the new word of mouth. The best way to use Social Media is to enhance the engagement / loyalty of your existing customers and by extension of that and social media platforms, you will grow your repeat business and word of mouth business.
Setup your social media profile
Facebook
Twitter
Youtube
Linkedin
Send an email blast to your existing email list letting them know that you want to connect with them on social media and that you now have social profiles. Offer them some incentive to follow you.
Discount off next purchase
Discount for their family and friends
Something of value for free
Add social media to your day-to-day business practices and systematically invite your customers to engage with you online.
Add links to your business cards, brochure, marketing materials and website
Be sure to invite all your customers to engage after service via follow up email
Post Valuable Content 
This may be the most important component of your Social media strategy. If you have thousands of fans and followers, but you don’t add value. you will have accomplished nothing.
You need to post relevant up-to-date tips and ideas, techniques, news and special promotions on a daily basis. Try to keep your 90% if your posts informational and 10% promotional.
Engage with Your Customers
You need to stay on top of your social media profiles and engage with your fans/ followers when they post or reply to your profiles.
If you want to start using Facebook ads to drive additional source of traffic but you don’t want to drop thousands of dollars on a Facebook ad campaign.
Here are some of the tips to get the most out of your Facebook advertising dollars.
  Post with Intent
these days simply posting things on your facebook page and hoping someone sees them no longer works. You need to have a goal and decide what you are looking to accomplish with that post.
Best way to do this is to look at your Facebook insights to understand what posts are getting more interaction with your audience.
Here’s a detailed infographic to guide you on how to use the Facebook Insights tool.
  Use a content calendar
We’re all busy. And when we’re busy without a plan in place for the tasks we have to get done, things inevitably slip through the cracks. Social media content is no exception.
Just like with blogging, a successful social media strategy requires regular publishing and engaging with followers to see positive results — whether that be in terms of SEO, brand recognition, lead generation, or all three.
Here are some of the most popular Content Calendar tools that you can check out.
  Trello
Trello is another organisational tool that’s highly effective for team collaboration. More specifically, social media managers can use Trello’s flexible assignment “cards” and customizable “boards” and “lists” to map out to-do lists, manage a content calendar, plan a campaign, and house ideas from a brainstorm.
Tumblr media
  Excel Spreadsheet or Google Sheets
Marketers might already use Excel for different types of reports and data analysis in their roles, but it’s a highly useful tool for social media content calendar organisation, too. Excel can be customised according to whatever priorities or metrics a team is focused on, so it’s an excellent tool for planning.
Tumblr media
Evernote
Evernote is a note-taking app that marketers can use to keep track of all the moving parts that comprise a social media campaign.
The tool also features yearly, monthly, weekly, and hourly logs, which make it easy to keep track of when you’re publishing content on social media when you’re producing blog content, and other team-wide priorities. (Evernote offers customizable templates for each of these that can be downloaded into the app.)
  Optimise your Facebook Business Page
When creating your Business Facebook page, think of it as your own website. You can set up different tabs that work as a navigational menu of your page. Hence, it’s essential that you organise them so your customers can find the information they need quickly.
Very simple things like adding review tabs are often overlooked but can make or break the user’s experience.
  Create your own group/community
By creating your own community inside your Facebook page, you can get more organic reach than your regular business page.
You can easily communicate with your audience without spending anything to boost your posts.
Here’s how to add a group to your Facebook page.
Tumblr media
Posts On Your Facebook Story
Facebook story tend to have a casual feel and users tend to engage more on content and posts like this. Some of the most successful facebook stories we’ve seen are Behind the scenes and business updates.
We have also seen an increase in the popularity of live feeds where you can interact with your audience and fans directly.
  Boosts Your Posts
There’s no denying that Facebook business page organic reach has dropped significantly. So if you are having a big sale or a promotion, it’s worth it too boosts your facebook posts so all of your Facebook fans can see the offer.
Try using different types of content, messaging, images and posting times to see what can help you get the most out of your marketing budget.
One of the most powerful aspects of using facebook posts is you can custom tailor the audience by location, age, and so on.
Here’s a step by step guide how to boosts your posts on facebook.
Tumblr media
Boosts Posts and Facebook Ads Combo
By creating multiple ads and boosting the ads with a budget of roughly $30 to $50 to drive engagement to your ad. This will also tell you which ads are getting more engagements such as likes, comments and shares.
Once you have generated significant engagement, you can use that exact same boosted posts as your primary conversion ads.
Ads with likes, comments and shares generally convert better than an ad without any engagement.
  Create Your Custom Audience
One of the most effective ways to get the most out of your marketing budget is to retarget users who already engaged with your brand or business.
You can create hundreds of different custom audiences and run various tests.
Our tip is to run video ads to an audience who never heard about your business. For example, if you are an electrician, you can create a video talking about “10 electricity safety at home”.
After a few days, you can then send another ad to people who watched your video ad offering a discount on home electrical health check,
By using the method, you are only sending your offers to people who are interested in your service or product getting the most out of your marketing budget.
  Use different bidding strategies
One of the most important ways to create a successful facebook marketing campaign is to test different bidding strategies.
For example, you can create multiple ad sets with an exact same copy but with different bidding strategies, let it run for a couple of weeks and then turn off the underperforming ad sets.
Facebook uses data to find the best customers accurately and if you only started advertising, recently, Facebook won’t have enough data on your business account. Facebook typically need 15 to 25 conversions per week to find the best audience so if you don’ have 25 purchases then it’s best to set the conversion event that’s closer to the top of your sales funnel.
  Capitalise on link retargeting.
If you’re using Facebook retargeting ads to boost conversions and attract visitors to your website, you should use link retargeting. This allows you to build your retargeting lists and reach the audience who haven’t visited your website before.
“Basically link retargeting allows you to add Facebook retargeting pixels to your short link when sharing curated content. Anyone who clicks on this content can be retargeted with relevant ads, So you can retarget people who’ve clicked on media coverage, reviews or industry news related to your business, even if the link led to a third-party website.”

  5. Generate More Reviews
Word-of-mouth or referral are still considered some of the best leads that you will get. But you might have noticed over the last few years that the number of referral leads is going down.
One of the main reason for this is because of online referral platforms such as Google, Yelp, Trustpilot and other review platforms.
First Impressions matter, especially in the business world. With the internet at our fingertips, consumers can easily do a quick search about your business and find the information they need. Customer reviews are one of the first things they look for when they decided to do business with you.
With as much as 88% of consumers relying on customer reviews, you want to make sure that the first thing they see are positive, glowing recommendations. Otherwise, it can ruin your business.
Here are some of the reasons why you need a Review Strategy for 2020!
Online Reputation
  With the Internet’s help, Word-of-mouth spreads like a wildfire. The good news about your business travels fast while bad news travels faster. If you receive a single negative review recent report says that review will cost you about 20% of your potential customers. With other statistics saying the numbers can jump to as high as 59%! Do not underestimate the power of a negative review. It can make or break your business.
  Customers are more likely to write about negative experiences than positive ones online. They won’t hesitate telling everybody how unhappy they are with the service they received. Whether in Social Media, Telling their friends and Family, Online Review Sites such as Yelp, Trustadvisor and worst on your Website or Google My Business listing.
  To gain the trust of potential customers, you need to prove to them that you’re a professional. One way to do this is to encourage all of your happy customers to leave a 5 Star review on your business listings. There is no one better to tell your success stories than your satisfied customers.
  Boost your SEO rankings
  One of the most effective ways to improve your online Local visibility is to list your business on online review sites like Yelp, Yellowpages, Trustadvisor, and Google My Business.
  Google is the most used search engine on the Internet. Google’s goal is to provide the best possible result you a query. The reason behind this is the more accurate the information they provide, the more likely you will use Google again to find answers. Since they know how important online reviews are for the majority of the customers, they tend to pay attention to these online review websites. Online reviews are one of the key factors that influence local search rankings. The diversity of review sites, Your rankings, The speed at which reviews are generated, and the total number of reviews your company has – all of these factors play a major role in whether your business appears on the local search results.
  There are plenty of review websites online and because of this, it can be quite difficult to choose where to have your business listed. But one of the most important ones is Google My Business. since the most turn to Google for online research, that means a larger audience will see your Business profile.
  Google My Business focuses on Local search results to help local businesses reach their target audience. 90% of consumers today will Google your business before doing any business with you. They want to know more about your business, and Google My Business can provide some quick answers.  It provides information such as contact number, address, and opening hours.
  Influence buying decision
  Buying something online is one of the most popular ways to make purchases today. Consumers flock the internet to buy items and inquire about a service.
  Most people start their buyers’ journey buying looking up the product online. Buyer’s today are smart. They don’t just buy anything from anybody. They’d go from one site to another to compare prices and reviews. They take time to read online reviews before making a purchase.
  Online reviews play such a crucial role and are relied upon by a lot of people. According to a survey that was conducted by Brightlocal 90% of consumers read online reviews. 88% of them trust online reviews as much as a recommendation from a family member or a friend. Reports also mentioned that typical consumers read around 6 reviews before they form an opinion about a business. Do not hesitate to show off your best reviews on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Blog or even your website.
  Get found Online
  The majority of consumers tend to start their buyer’s journey online since it’s easier and more convenient. They go online not just to find who’s the cheapest or who’s offering the best deals, but to research about the products or services they need. They already know what they want. Right now, they are in the process of selecting a business that can cater to their needs. This is where online reviews come in.
  Reviews are usually the first thing they look for when they want to buy something online. As a potential customer, they want to know the opinion of previous customers. What do they think of the product? or the service? Is it worth their money? These are the things they want to find before buying or using your service.
  Reviews are an absolute essential for businesses. Consumers may not be familiar with your company, but they are likely to come across your business during the shopping process if you have some customer reviews. The more reviews you have, the more reliable and trustworthy you’ll be in the eyes of potential clients. not only will it make the decision process easier, but it also helps you generate more leads.
  Drive Sales to your Business
  If you’ve ever bought anything online, you have probably read online reviews. You are not alone. As mentioned above, a huge majority of consumers read online reviews. Why? It’s because people want an assurance that the product they are planning on buying is of good quality.
  When considering buying a camera or a smartphone, they often consult the reviews to check if previous customers are satisfied with the purchase. Another reason is to determine the quality of a local business.
  A huge percentage of buyers take time to read product reviews before making any online purchase. They are more likely to get that camera if they find ratings with an average score of 4 on the particular model they are eyeing on. 5-star reviews may provide the extra push they need. They just need reassurance and confirmation that they are getting the right product.
  Having no reviews is as good as having negative reviews. Since many of them rely on product reviews, some people may see the lack of reviews as a red flag. It leaves your reputation in a vulnerable state. People may not even consider buying your products without them. Think about how many potential customers end up buying from your competitors because they can’t seem to find any reviews.
  6. Hire A Digital Marketing Agency
You might think that we are biased here, but truly believe the right digital agency can make a huge improvement when measuring the return on marketing investment made in digital.
You’re able to tap into the skills, experience, and perspectives of a collection of digital professionals all passionate in delivering on your marketing objectives.
You will have access to all the skills that you need
Building an in-house team to take care of the entirety of your digital marketing efforts is a practical impossibility for many businesses.  The skills your company needs are either hard to come by or too expensive. What’s more, it won’t be financially feasible to hire someone for a full or even part-time placement if you don’t need their skills constantly and consistently.
The campaigns that you run will change at different times of the year – for example, branding and SEO at the start of the year, and focus more on social media and paid advertising towards the end of the year to gain that quick boost of leads and sales.
A digital marketing agency will retain employees in a range of different roles and can apply the right mix of skills to meet your campaign objectives. This happens seamlessly for you, with the knowledge they have built up about your brand objectives shared throughout your campaign team.
Manage your budget more effectively
Outsourced digital agencies are typically responsible for the marketing spend that your company places with Google, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Tracking this spends across multiple platforms and campaigns is difficult and time-consuming. Add to that the requirement to track conversions, carry out optimization and direct budget to the most effective campaigns, and you have a complex set of reporting and management requirements.
Digital agencies are experts in effectively managing your digital marketing budget, having developed tools and processes over 100s of clients to make the process more efficient. By working with an agency, you benefit from their internal controls and procedures. You set the budget and expectations, they handle the rest.
Give your business space to grow
Scalability is a key advantage of outsourcing.  As your business grows (whether that is through more physical locations, more electricians , more vans or just to help you handle the influx of leads or sales), your operations need to change to react. 
A digital agency can respond to the changing needs of your business and likely has experience dealing with the issues that you are trying to resolve. Once again, they can apply the expertise, insights and software solutions developed with other customers to help you through the growth stage of your business.

Rank and Rent explained? https://www.reddit.com/r/SEO/comments/aixe33/rank_and_rent_explained/
There’s something I’m missing with the rank and rent model.
How do you build a website and essentially pretend to be a genuine business? I mean, won’t customers realise that you’re not real?
Especially since this technique is supposed to be “local”, you would think locals and competitors would quickly pick up that you’re not actually a real business?! Especially as you need a GMB profile and citations to rank well.
Say you build a dentistry (or locksmith, or roofing etc) website and start ranking it. What do you do if a customer calls you before you’ve either rented/sold the website or arranged a PPL deal with some other dentist in the area ?
From what I read, you palm off that lead to another local dentist right? So what will the customer think if they contact XYZ Dentistry at 123 High St, Toothville for a quote and end up being contacted by ABC Dentists at 145 Floss St, Brushville?!
It seems apparent to me that clients will quickly notice that it’s not the same place and especially competitors will know that you don’t exist (in a local niche, you tend to know exactly who are your competitors).
All the SEO rank & rent guides and articles out there seem to conveniently brush past this precise part.

Of everyone I follow you seem like the person most likely to have something interesting to say about something I've been considering lately: is the way libraries currently handle pseudoscience and other harmful content acceptable? I don't mean stuff like "should Lolita be banned from public libraries", I don't think that's useful. But I recently discovered my local library system has a dozen books on "curing autism" with disproven diets and at least 3 or 4 on "climate change is fake the liberals are lying to you". I assume these books are allowed to be there bc we believe people should be allowed to read whatever they want, even if it is wrong or harmful. But ngl, finding out my library has booklets on the COVID vaccine being dangerous on top of the other quack shit, it feels like something has gone very wrong. Idk, what do you think?
I think about this -- and larger issues of censorship -- often, both in terms of the lolita stuff and in terms of the naming of pseudoscience, though I do think it's important to remember that what counts as "pseudoscience" is temporally, culturally, and socially specific -- that isn't to say "climate change is fake" or "vaccines cause autism" are, like, valid claims (they're not) but that during different eras, in different areas, and among different groups, libraries and other orgs will have different criteria for evidence and truth. evidence and truth themselves are such heavily loaded concepts that we find these questions to be always-already political.
all that said, what i've learned in my brief foray into studying library curation/info studies is this: libraries, much like journalists, ought to provide information responsibly, in ways beneficial to the public good. they do *not* have a responsibility to simply info-vomit at you and expect you to do the rest. they don't keep books forever –– otherwise, i could go looking for info on biology and find books that didn't mention DNA. if places published every crackpot theory any person ever raised, it would be physically impossible to locate and synthesize info. there would just be too much. there's a reason i'm not the one being quizzed on what to do about climate change, or how in the shit we are –– i have a layperson's background in climate science. that isn't to say my perspective on climate science is useless, or that anything i wrote about climate change is inherently out of place in a library or is harmful, but instead that a library can and should evaluate my claims in accordance with my background, my personal and social interests, and the other writings they make available.
similarly, the new york times had to reckon with this wrt their both-sidesism, presenting actual na z/is as well as antifascists as if these were equivalents. i think the harm we see there can be extended to the presentation of antivax and pro-vaccine rhetorics and climate change denial/ climate change aware rhetorics: while they're both "perspectives" people hold, it is under no circumstances in the interest of the public good for a library to stock information that, in effect, supports the systemic and eugenic murder of large groups of people. a library exists not simply to be a shelf for every book someone decides to put out there. they exist to curate, even to gatekeep, and a good curator will evaluate not only the contents but the impacts and citational chains a given work is imbricated in. they'll ask if it's relevant, if it's beneficial, if it contributes significantly and in good faith to xyz debates, etc. –– and, often, including in the case of pseudoscientific, ableist, racist, etc. texts –– if it colludes with violent systems of power.
