On the topic of PewDiePie
@tearahi​
I’m going to both address the main topic and minor tidbits from each of your articles, but let’s start with your articles:
Popular YouTube Streamer Promotes Channel That Publishes Anti-Semitic Content
The article talks about Felix calling someone a “crybaby” because of the gender wage gap. In case you didn’t know, the gender wage gap is a perpetuated myth that only “exists” because of averaged differences in each gender’s work area.
What I mean is that men, because they’re typically stronger and more lenient towards hard labor, they’ll work said labor-intensive jobs that earn more, whereas women typically work in “easy” jobs, such as secretary, office, teaching, etc. There’s no wage gap.
YouTube’s most popular user amplified anti-Semitic rhetoric. Again.
One thing I must mention is bias. Vox is typically left-leaning, so I’m going to assume this article is chock full of left-leaning bias from the start...
Tumblr media
Told you.
This article also mentions past grievances, the “nazi salute video” and the “Fiverr anti-semitic sign video” specifically.
Upon finding the infamous “Nazi Salute” video, it seems to me like it’s... a joke. It’s a mockery of his “fame” and “persona”. I’m not shocked that journalists would use this, tbqh.
The Fiverr incident was satirical. It was meant to convey a message that Fiverr has no moderation. In general, Fiverr is an untrustworthy site, that famous “Credit Card Digits” guy got into legal trouble because Fiverr didn’t bother giving him the earnings he got after a ban. Take a quick Google search to find that one out.
The article also mentions the video in question, noting that “the first 15 seconds of part two contain a reference to a 2017 incident in which PewDiePie himself dropped a racial slur...”, which isn’t at all relevant to the topic. Yet another strategically-placed bit of bias to make people dislike Felix because of a slip-up that he’s apologized and faced consequences for many times already.
Not only that, the article mentions his followers’ ages, not realizing that parents exist and that not teaching your child about the proper ways and tips on using the Internet is what brings about its dire effects. The article also attempts to speak about the “Sub to PewDiePie” meme as negative. Vox describes it as “aggressive” to say a simple phrase. The article makes the fans look aggressive.
It’s also interesting how Vox mentions WSJ’s “investigation” on PewDiePie, where they even say that WSJ “emailed Disney representatives for comment on the content of his videos”. Sounds to me like the WSJ is attempting a CNN and either blackmailing or pressuring executives.
PewDiePie Receives Backlash After Recommending Anti-Semitic, White Supremacist YouTube Channel
I’d like to use this article to mention something that I strongly dislike about YouTube and this controversy’s hypocrisy.
Remember when Logan Paul video-taped a man hanging from the Aokigahara Forest in Japan? Remember how this caused the infamous “Ad-pocalypse” on YouTube, where advertisers were bailing out due to the controversy, which caused the entire “Demonetization” feature to occur on YouTube, which subsequently ruined multiple channels due to petty shit like “offensive language”?
Yeah, after that, Logan got his little movie released on YouTube Premium, whereas Felix’s “anti-semitism” scrapped his whole Premium show. Here’s the website’s article on this issue. I hope you can understand why I mentioned this.
Your last article doesn’t mention much, so this is where I’ll begin the main topic:
The video itself seems fine. There’s minor edgy post-editing, and his opinions are very out-there in terms of broadcasting it to his fans. I don’t understand how this video that he enjoyed with edgy humor is somehow making Felix out to be a “white supremacist nazi”
To reference Vox’s terrible article, they mentioned that this video was one of many “dog-whistles” to instill “white supremacist propaganda”. They also specify that the video contained “racial slurs” and all I heard was “nigga”. Says a lot about their fucking credibility, huh?
Also, I fully watched Part 2, which was linked in one of your articles alongside referencing the Charlotesville Attack, and I didn’t see said reference. Do let me know if there’s a timestamp for it, cause the commentary’s got me bored.
and with that, this is where I begin my first point:
Stop taking everything online so seriously.
This is hypocritical coming from some kid online who hates the idea of radical feminists even touching him, but this is a serious point to make.
It’s understandable, morally, to give grievance when someone makes an “edgy” joke or uses 4chan memes. Yes, boo hoo, someone online, for example, called you a “faggot”. I know it affects people, I know it’ll hurt being called a slur or some shit. We need to start taking the idea of the internet into play when discussing this type of shit.
The internet is anonymous. The internet has countless amounts of opinions, personalities, and worldviews. You can’t apply your thinking and understanding of your personal opinions onto others. You can’t say “don’t say faggot” and expect people to listen.
The only tip I can give you from this is just... don’t take the internet so seriously... unless there’s some call to action that can threaten your life, or some shit obviously, but you’re better fucking off just sweeping shit like this as either “stupid” or “funny” instead of getting your panties in a twist over tiny, petty comments that you’re inevitably going to see online.
And now my second point:
Stop fully believing in the media, especially when you haven’t confirmed anything yourself.
While the articles mention E;R as a whole, they continuously use the same video Felix mentioned as some sort of “proof”, even though there was little-to-no “white supremacy propaganda” or “nazism” in the video linked. This is why you fact check before assuming things are correct.
To give you a better example, look at the recent Covington Students controversy, where CNN gave a false report that painted teenaged students as “racists” due to edited footage. Nobody attempted to research and a bandwagon of angry people began to harass, dox, and threaten death upon the teens until someone had released a full 2 hour video that showed the teens’ innocence.
On top of this, some of your articles mention Felix’s past transgressions, even though these events were either satirical examples or poking fun at idolization.
Instead of telling the truth, your sources began the infamous train of hate, purposefully used said past videos as “proof” that he’s “anti-semitic” and a “nazi”, and Vox had even detailed WSJ’s blackmail scheme to get PewDiePie fucked. You and the others took the bait and are still lost in the sauce.
Take that as you will, I’m done here.
If you need clarification on anything, feel free to @ me. I’m going to hope you at least skim through instead of pushing this aside.

They Were There... Finally...
(Sad warning)
Caitlin sat on her bed as she opened the paper folder and took out pictures. Many pictures... of her and Cisco, them hanging out, doing stuff, just having good times together. She let out a soft sigh and put them aside, them grabbed her journal and begin writing.
"It's been 5 weeks since Cisco got in that car crash... he still hasn't woken up yet. I'm starting to have... let's say negative thoughts... he can't be... Scans say he's still alive and, though it hasn't been that long, it feels like months, years, i just really miss him. I remember when i went off to work at Mercury labs or, to work with Amunet, i still missed him but, not this way. I knew i could always come back to him when i wanted, when i was ready... But now, i don't have that chance... I'm crying a little bit now... maybe writing this was a bad idea. I should probably go back to S.T.A.R Labs soon and make sure he's okay, it might hurt me even more to see him like that... It reminds me of way back when Barry was in that coma, speaking of Barry, i'm sure this is hard for him too. As far as i know, Cisco was always the one holding the team together when me and Barry were gone, i guess we should do the same for him... Yeah, i should get going... night future me reading this."
Caitlin closed her journal and wiped her eyes, then grabbed her jacket and sped out the door. It was a rather chilly evening but, of course, she didn't mind that.
She eventually got back to S.T.A.R Labs an found that the place was empty, nobody in it beside her and Cisco. She sat down next to him and put her hand on his, then looked down at him.
"Please be okay..." she muttered, remembering what he had said long ago about people in comas being able to hear you but... She waited... no response. She sat there, thinking that, should he wake up, there should be someone he knows next to him.
She sat there...
Soon she looked at the clock, 3:52 AM. It was around 10:00 PM when she left... but she wasn't tired. Too worried about Cisco to be tired.
"mmmhm..." Cait looked over at the noise, surprised. Cisco hadn't done anything since the crash... was this it...?
"Cisco?" She said, trying to get a clarification that it wasn't just her imagination.
........
No response. "Just hearing things..." she said to herself, then looked back down at her fingers. Was she wasting time..? He couldn't be dead... the scans were right there...
Not having him around was like, not realizing how much you needed something, or, in this case, someone, until they're gone. Caitlin sighed and looked down at her fingers...
What was this doing to her mental state? She asked herself that question in her head more than once, but was never quite able to answer it. She glanced up at the clock again. 4:17 AM.
Someone was walking in...
"Barry?" Caitlin asked into the dark, and just then, Barry walked in
"It's 4 AM Barry, what are you doing here?" Cait asked. She understood if he was worried too but, Caitlin and Cisco had known eachother for a lot longer...
"I could say the same for you." Barry responded as he sat down. That was the one answer Caitlin didn't want, but, sure enough.
"Just.. couldn't stop thinking about him. It's strange not having him around..."
Barry said nothing and looked at him, Caitlin could pretty much read what he was thinking.
"I have an idea." said Barry as he stood up and grabbed his phone.
"Oh don't you dar-" Caitlin was interupted by a slightly dupstep sounding song, the same song she and Cisco played when Barry woke up. Caitlin couldn't help but laugh even in these dark times, Barry smiled as he sat back down.
"I remember this song..." Caitlin muttered, smiling at Barry then looking at Cisco.
The music faded, Barry was only able to download a 30 second version because the website wasn't free. The track replayed and he turned it off.
The room suddenly got quiet... not erie quiet, just quiet. It seemed like the perfect time for someone to say something all special and old-timey right now, but nobody said anything. Caitlin looked at the clock. 4:47 AM.
"I'm close to have pulled the 4th all-nighter this week." Caitlin said mostly to Barry, but in part to break the silence. Barry simply smiled so, her attempt to start a conversation had indeed failed.
Caitlin was always a patient person, even as a kid. She didn't mind waiting and, even now, this didn't feel like waiting. She knew she needed to sleep... she was living on caffeine and randomly falling alseep, throw occasional snacks in there. Barry knew, everyone knew, they needed Cisco back... She needed him back...
5:01 AM. Barry was still there, but he needed sleep too.
"Mmmnph...." another noise. They bolth looked over at Cisco, maybe he was waking up. But being hopeful can bring you karma in a way so, Cait tried not to freak out over it too much.
"mmmnm... Caitlin...?" It was Cisco. He was finally waking up, maybe. Caitlin stood up.
"I-i'm here.. you're awake!" She said to him, she was so relived and happy, she immediately hugged him after he stood up. Barry joined in, grinning.
"Yo... I'm not dead..." Cisco said, smiling, then soon joining into the hug. Barry backed off, Caitlin soon followed.
He was here... finally... she didn't have to bear it... they were there... finally...
FNSH
Writer talk: ahhh this was fun! It's a long boi haha. Sorta proud of this..? Idk. All i can say is i love these beans more than i love my parents. Cya around my dudes.

Adam: Yeah, let’s do it.
Marco: Black Friday will be on Wednesdays from now on. I just determined that. And to all joking aside, we always say that be and the mastermind has its privileges. Well, I’ve been personally working really hard and incorporating some really not gonna say what it is, but some just some really neat things into the Mastermind to make the user experience to and to make people finding what they’re looking for. To make that way better to improve the experience so that people can come in and find exactly what they’re looking for, where it is, you know, so whatever it is that you’re trying to find, Marco will talk shit about Google on and I can’t remember when Well, it’s not finished, not 100% because there is artificial intelligence involved. And interestingly enough the world is the SEO world is an uproar because of BERT, and we’re actually using BERT in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind so again, mastermind being a member of the Semantic Mastermind does have its privileges because you’re first to get everything that we do business building and ideas and concepts, and all of these different things. Hey, on tomorrow’s mastermind webinar will be talking about BERT and AI and what it is actually, because you see all of these discussions and all of these forums and then all these Facebook groups, and nobody has an I’m not going to drop an F-bomb here. Nobody has an effing clue as to what it is that they’re talking. They don’t know what BERT is. And all you have to do is go into the documentation to see what BERT is and what it does.

And so yeah, we should be here, tooting our own horns and singing our praises and whatever. I’m not going to go into that anymore. Just I’m just letting people know if you’re in the Semantic Mastery <stermind, be there tomorrow and see just how much we have improved the learning experience. Let’s call it
Adam: Amen. got one more to add on to that you guys are now made a post believe on November 4 about big news for Bradley. Bradley is going to be putting together some training, we decided based on the response. There’s still a little bit of time if you want to get down on this, and what it is, is step by step program on how to grow, grow a massive brand using YouTube and GDN, Ads. And, you know, we just want to engage, because we have, especially Bradley didn’t want to be putting in a lot of time and effort doing the training, you know, right leading up into the holidays if people weren’t interested. But so far, we’ve got 71 comments, people interested in early access at a hell of a discount. So I’m going to put the link in if you want to get in on that. Just comment, leave a GIF or a comment on the Facebook thread and we will be in touch with you shortly. We’re going to have some information that information about that going up. Hernan says let me in I think he got booted from the from Hump Day Hangouts.
Bradley: He’s back in
Adam: Alright, well, guys, with that said, we got anything else before we get into questions here.
Bradley: I’ll just give a little update on a couple of things. Number one, we’ve got anybody that joined Local Kingpin, which was the Google Ads training for using search ads for lead generation. That’s going to be an update webinar on Monday. Because the interface has changed so much the principles, the method is still pretty much the same, though. There’s just some slight differences that I’m going to cover. And the interface, Google Ads interface has changed a lot. Plus they’ve got a lot of new or improved features, such as automated bidding strategies and things like that, that I used to suggest never to use, but they’ve gotten so much better over the last year and a half, two years because of AI and it’s so much better. So artificial intelligence. And so we’re going to talk about that slightly plus any questions that anybody has So that’ll be Monday, it’ll be probably only about an hour long. That’s just for me to give an update and answer questions. So if you’re in Local Kingpin, I encourage you to get signed up for that.
Also, the Google Ads course that Adam was just talking about, that I’m going to be starting in two weeks, I think it’s one and I say we’re going to do that. I think Monday, the 25th is going to be the first webinar and that’ll be about 90 minutes, maybe longer if there’s, you know, a lot of Q&A at the end, and then December 9th, and that’s going to be a two-part deal. The first one will be about YouTube ads and how to use that for branding. And for not not not so much lead generation it will produce leads, but it’s not a direct lead generator, it it will but it’s more about branding, and also driving relevant traffic into your digital assets. So your entity essentially. So we’re going to talk about YouTube on the first webinar. And then on the second webinar. Again, that’ll be December 9th. We’re going to talk about using the Google Display Network. So it’s good Google Ads training specifically for YouTube and the Google Display Network for setting up branding campaigns which works incredibly well for both building brand awareness but also for generating relevant targeted traffic from specific audiences from specific geo locations if it’s for local into your entities, your digital assets for a particular brand which is great for SEO. So it’s a way for using Google ads to not only produce relevant traffic but improve brand awareness as well as help the SEO that your any SEO work that you’re doing, because you’re driving relevant, targeted traffic from known audiences and Google to your SEO as your assets that you’ve been doing SEO work on. And that takes care of ART right – relevance, trust, and authority. Google understands that that’s that recognize that traffic is an activity. It’s relevant because it’s from known audiences and specific geolocation if that’s if it’s for local you can target by geolocation, and it’s also trusted, trusted and authority trusted traffic because it’s coming from Google’s known Google’s audience buckets. And essentially, so it’s going to be it’s very, very powerful. I’ve just been crushing it with Google ads for clients over the last several months. And it just works really, really well. And I’ve been using them for my own business as well. And it’s, it’s just a great, great strategy. So that said, it’s, um, it’s going to be a pre, like right now you can get in for like, the pre-training special or whatever, where it’s, it’s a third of what it’s going to be once I’m done recording those webinars, it’s going to be packaged up and sold for probably 300 bucks, or right right, right around there. So if you want to get in for a third of that, I would recommend that you go check out the post that Adam posted, comment on it and then get signed up. Okay. All right.
Marco: So they’re more than welcome to wait and pay us more later. Yeah, that’s fine too. But I would suggest for people not to wait.
Bradley: Alright, so can we get into it? Now,
Adam: let’s do it.
Bradley: All right, we got the screen. Okay, somebody confirm.
Adam: Good to go.
Bradley: Okay, so everybody can see my humping Wednesday meme GIFs alright. Hump Day right, Wednesday.
How Would You Add Relevancy To Your Money Site Using Drive Stacks?
So, Alright, so the first questions are and it’s multiple questions. It’s 13 pages worth of questions from Fred Wilson and Fred. Well, I appreciate your and I really do. I appreciate your questions. That’s a bit much for Hump Day Hangouts. And also, it’s getting a little bit into the weeds for stuff that we would typically only cover in this much depth in mastermind, which I’m sure you’re fully aware of that, as a former mastermind member, or an RYS Academy reloaded specifically since it’s so it pertains to drive stack stuff and kind of deep into the weeds. But with that said, Marco, how much of this do you want to answer?
Marco: I haven’t really re-read the question. So,
Bradley: Yeah. So should I give you about 10 minutes to get through it?
Marco: All right. Do you have a general question that you can add the I’d be more than happy to answer general questions, but if it’s something that’s specific, yeah, that again, membership has its privileges and this things that I’m only answer for paying members and I mean, that that’s just that’s the way it should be. I’m sure that people who have paid three $4,000 for the course would appreciate me keeping the secret sauce in where it belongs.
Bradley: Yeah. And I agree and that, you know, I���ve read through the first two sections of this three-part question this three-section question, and I realized that it’s, it’s a lot more in-depth than what we would typically answer on a free Hump Day hangout because it’s getting into very specific tactics. From RYS reloaded, we would cover it also in the mastermind, I’m sure. But this is not something that we can get that deep into it. That said, I’ll give you kind of a general overview, and I’ll kind of answer it and let you take add to it, Marco, and then we’ll move on to the next one. So Fred, we would welcome you back to the mastermind at any moment.
If we’re going to RYS Reloaded, either one of those would be good places to get this particular question answered. But that said, He’s talking about his food business, his food tour business and talking about how to add additional relevancy. He did some keyword theme research using SEM Rush and looking at some of the competitors and found that there is some other keywords other than just food tour type keywords that can help to add relevancy that are kind of associated with the food tour business, but he hasn’t been targeting them. And so the question is would adding in some of these other types of keyboard themes into the drive stack folders as subfolders within food tour folders, would that help to add relevancy? And because of the association that Google’s is showing? And so I mean, to me, you’ve already answered your question. Yes. You know, if there’s if there’s a way to create that association, that you’re you’ve discovered by doing some additional research, looking at competitors using some tools like sem rush and all of that kind of stuff, then yeah, you can you can add that additional relevancy into your drive stack. And that’s going to certainly help. I don’t know if you want to go further than that. Marco.
Marco: Yeah. Just a little bit, because, I mean, I can answer this generally we go after, especially the way that our keyword research VA is being taught, we go after anything that Google considers relevant. In a keyword, research cake, and we give you guys whoever orders the gig, the deep keyword research, all of that information. We do separate the movie will give you tasks will give you silos will give you information that we feel is where the money makers are, what the relevant keywords are, and maybe something that that that that isn’t a money keyword, but Google still thinks that that is relevant. All of that is necessary because what we do inside the drive stack is create relevantly and push. Right? We create a relevance push from everything that we do from the spider web silo to the way that the drive stack is built to the way that the G site is built to the way the inner pages are done to the way that we mimic what’s on the website. So yes, by all means, I don’t care. We do use SEM Rush for keyword relevance, but that’s not necessarily what will target what we do is we use Jeffrey Smith’s Ultimate SEO Bootcamp training. And we go according to how he teaches what the top-level categories are. Then from there, work down and create the silos there, you will create three silos. But everything that’s relevant should be at it. Remember when Network Empire started talking about color, current stuff, it’s not, it’s not there. But they began talking about it. And they began explaining it more what it was all about, what it means. And really, that’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to create all of this in a self-contained Google environment for the bot to feed on, which is, that’s exactly what we’re doing.
Is It Safe Against Plagiarism To Curate Content With Attribution From Google Snippet?
Bradley: Yeah. And so the next question part of this, which it’s kinda interesting that you asked this, Fred because we covered this, our own our very own data. You know, master link builder, was at our live event, hopefully, live 2019 in Denver, just recently, and he was talking about doing something similar that you’re asking about, which is adding q&a. Questions and Answers into a doc within your Gsite within your drive stack and just linking back to the source but not actually hyperlinking just putting like the text-based link. So you’re providing a citation, but what so you’re citing the source, right? So you’re providing attribution, but you’re not hyperlinking back. I would say that should be okay, provided you’re not copying, you know, if you’re just copying snippets, like what is shown in the Google search results for the q amp a section. So when you search for a question in Google, and it brings up that featured snippet, which is a q amp a box, right, and it’s got the dropdowns, and you click the drop-down, and then it shows a short it shows the full question and then a short answer and a link back to the source where it’s pulling that answer from that question and answer from you can embed that or you know, kind of copy and paste that into a Google doc or something like that. And then still late as long as you’re not expanding by going to the actual destination URL and copying more of the content. It’s just a snippet. So it falls under the same rules of curating content would be on a blog post in that, if you’re just highlighting, you know, reusing republishing a short snippet from somebody else’s content, and then you’re providing attribution citing the source, then it should be okay. Now, some people, some publishers will still make eventually, you know, sometimes they may find it and they may request that you unpublish it. But as far as it being a copyright infringement, as long as it’s just a small snippet, and it’s you’re citing the source, it should, it should never be an issue. Although like I said, out of courtesy, if anybody ever were to contact you and say Please take this down or unpublished this, then you know, I would recommend that you just do it to avoid any sort of, you know, some sort of stupid battle that could ensue. Although again, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it legally because you are citing the source and it falls within a specific brand. Members of the DMC act right there were the digital, whatever Copyright Act. So I would just, you know, encourage you not to go any further than what is shown in the snippets and the featured snippets within Google search.
That said, also, you’re asked about curating a lot of content about a topic putting it inside the drive stack, then putting links to your money site, the correct way to push relevancy for your money site? Again, yes, you can do that. The same thing is by curating content on your money site, you can do that. Right. So think about that. That’s what we’ve taught for years is the best way to generate content before even money site blog posts unless you’re a subject matter expert and you’re creating 100% original content. The problem with that is even as an as a subject matter expert, sometimes you get you run out of ideas. But there are a ton of other subject matter experts. I’m not talking about buying shitty content farm content, I’m talking about locating subject Matter content written by subject matter experts pertaining to your topic, right or your niche your industry, and then republishing, once again snippets of it, and giving credit to where it’s, you know, citing the source giving attribution. And in the case of curating on a blog, your money site blog, you know, we always recommend hyperlinking to the source. And just using nofollow External links, that’s what I’ve always done. Um, but that’s very, very powerful. Because once again, you can create an original article out of using snippets of other people’s content, where you’re just adding commentary and opening paragraph commentary in between pieces of curated content, which doesn’t have to be just articles, it can be videos, infographics, don’t curate images. Please don’t do that. You can. That’s a no-no, but you can curate infographics, videos, mp3, so audio files, you know, other articles, you can curate all that kind of stuff. And it helps because it allows you to be able to produce content very quickly, inexpensively. And you can even train a virtual assistant, somebody that’s not a subject matter expert how to locate good content, and compile it in a logical fashion, and then just add commentary. So in other words, you know, you can come up with a topic for a blog post, find supporting articles or even differing opinion articles, right so that you can do a compare and contrast or pros and cons or argue both sides of a topic in particular curated article if that makes sense. It’s very, very powerful. And it’s a great way to create co-citation, which is similar to co-occurrence in that you’re linking out to other relevant sources. And so again, we talked about all of that in content kingpin, it’s a training course that is still 100% relevant today. I still use that for all of my clients, that same exact method for curating content for all of my clients. You can apply that to drive stack stuff to you’re still going to build that relevancy, topical relevancy. Just make sure you’re Giving attribution even if you’re not hyperlinking to it, I recommend you absolutely always give credit where credit is due. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: No, I totally agree. It’s a matter of mirroring right? Everything that you would do on the money site you do on the drive stack and Gsite, including curating content. That’s right.
How Do You Add A Schema Markup To A Local Business Press Release?
Okay, cool. Well, the next question is from Kaydee. Hi, guys. How do you add schema markup to press releases for a local business? Press advantage sent an email with a link to Google structured data markup helper tool to create the code but on the page, it is asking to select a data type and then paste your URL of the page you wish to mark up. What URL do we enter here? I don’t know. Because I don’t use that tool. I’m going to point out another one here for you in a moment. The press release is not yet published. So it has no URL to target the markup and the data type is to tick in and the data type to tick is a local business. Thanks to know and here’s why. Because if you’re if you have your own press advantage account, or even if you Buy him through MGYB. And we set up an organization page or you set it up through your own account, right? So you set up an organization page, that’s where you should have your local business markup. If it’s, you know, an organization page for local business, you should have your local business structured data markup in the organization page, right, which will get added to all of the press releases that get pushed out. And some may not all, but many of the publisher sites that were they get published to will actually pick up that JSON LD code for local business markup. Okay, so you add that to your organization page. However, I’ve got a press advantage open here. Let’s see if it hopefully it brings me into the same standby I’m gonna have to pause my screen for a moment because of it my plugin that reset my browser that Marco pointed out, a reset my reset the tab, so give me one second while I get what you’re looking for.
Marco: Let me just tell people That if your press release gets published and you go and look at some of the websites were able to publish, and you don’t see the schema markup, but you don’t see an iframe that you send out or whatever, that’s not on us. It’s not even on press advantage. It’s actually on that website, not wanting, you know, stripping out all of the code. But what we want anyway, is we want to get that in as many places as we can. And that’s why I go it goes out to the entire publication network, but not every website will publish whatever it is that you submitted, just did just to make it clear to everyone because we do get support tickets about that. And it’s like, yeah, there’s nothing that we could do.
Bradley: Yeah, so to show you what I’m talking about. First of all, if we go to press advantage for the organization, which I should I forgot I got my ID page looped into this is going to break the browser. Let me see if I can get to Page Source before it shuts everything down. Um, Alright, so let’s see if it’ll pull this up. It might not. Okay, there we go. So if we scroll down, we’ll see right here is my local business structure data markup starting right here. From here to there. That’s my local business structure data markup, that’s part of the organization page. Right. And so again, as Marco just mentioned, some sites when we publish when it distributes the press releases, it has this codependent to it. You know, it started with it with the press release, but some sites will pick it up and publish that JSON LD code as well. What I think you’re talking about is for individual press releases, so here I am inside the dashboard. If you scroll down now there’s a section says enter JSON LD schema, this will be attached to the release in addition to any organization-specific schema. So that’s what I was talking about before. If it’s a local business, you want it which is what I was showing here. You want to have local business structure data markup on the page, right that their organization page, but then For the individual, a press release, excuse me, you can add additional schema markup here. So what I would recommend here and you know you can do other stuff too depends on what you’re having published. But what I would recommend is going to and this is a tool that I use most of the time, we’re going to have one in MGYB here shortly, I’m not sure if it’s available yet. But this is the one that I’ve been using for quite some time.
If you just go to Google and search for schema markup generator, look for technicalSEO.com or just go to technicalSEO.com and look for the schema markup generator, which is over here in the left sidebar. There’s different types of schema markups that this tool will generate different types of schema. And so the very first one is article click on the article and then when you look down here, when it loads this page, you come down here to Article type, and there’s actually one for news article. So select news article, and then just fill out these fields. And here’s your schema code over here on the right-hand sidebar. Once you’ve completed all these fields, Then you just copy that and paste that into Press Advantage over here. Now again, there are other types of schema that can be generated. So it depends on what the article is going to be about. But just doing news article schema markup is very, very powerful, right to add to each individual press release. Okay, so that’s what I would recommend. There are other tools out there that will generate this stuff to guys, this is just the one that I typically use. Okay. There’s a good question. Now, by the way, that said, I gotta tease this a little bit. I’m inside my blog for that same company, I was just sharing my real estate business. And this we’ve got coming soon. We’ve got some pretty cool stuff coming up. And like the plugin will generate this Jeffrey Smith plugin, but it’s the pro version, which isn’t released yet, but it’s coming soon. And it’s got all the schema markup generator right inside WordPress for all every different type of schema, you can think of. It’s fabulous. And so that same type that same article markup right there, if we come down here, there’s an article type, blog posting or news article. And then I can just fill out all this stuff. It creates the code right down here and embeds it into the header of this particular blog post. And I can click update, and boom, that’s going to have the same type of Article markup that we were just sharing. Pretty powerful stuff. So be on the lookout for that guys soon, early next year. That was a good tease. Right, guys?
Marco: Perfect.
Can You Embed The Website Pages In The GSite When Mirroring?
All right. Next one is Simon. He says We’re marrying the main website to the G site. Can you just embed the website pages on the site pages? Or is it necessary to copy and paste the content for each website page on to the G site pages, I just use the embeds. I’m lazy like that, right. I work on the money site pages. That’s what I flush out with good content. And I mirror them onto the site. And then I just and I do some other really cool stuff. We’ve been talking about how I do silos now. locations. So there’s topical silos and in location-based silos, but I do it in a very unique way. And it works really well, especially when you use a G site. And yeah, all I do is grab the embed or create an iframe out of the money site pages, and embed them into the G site page, then I optimize the title of the G site page, obviously. And then, you know, you can mirror that into a folder inside of your folder and files inside of your drive stack. And then just smash that shit with embeds and or links, or both. And it works really, really well hit ever remember, that’s your SEO shield. So we do everything externally to the SEO shield, right? So that would be the G site the drive stack and all of the tier one entity assets, which by the way, you can actually take those iframe into your syndication network properties to guys think about that. So right, there’s no reason you can’t push those embeds through to your syndication network properties too. good question though,
Does Proper Schema Markup Feed The Bot Enough And Not To Worry About Creating Long Articles?
Paul Thompson says, Does proper schema markup feed the bot enough that we don’t need to worry about creating long articles on the pages we want to rank? No, but it does. It does definitely help a lot. Marco is probably going to be better at answering this one than me. I would still for money sites stuff still flesh out the pages, but adding structured data, like what I just showed with my blog, where you were, you know, again, you can add it manually now like right now, since the pro plugins not available, this there might be other plugins out there that do it, but I don’t know if they provide the schema code that’s 100% up to date. I know that a lot of times they’re not updated enough. I’m not speaking badly about anybody else’s plugin. I just haven’t used them. But you can have like a code insert or plugin right so like. SoGo ad scripts header, footer and things like that header, footer type script plugins where you can add scripts into the head section or foot section or body section of any individual page or post, and you can go use schema creators like what I just shared, and create schema markup and and then put them into each one of your posts or pages or whatever, so that you’re adding additional, you know, schema structured data that the bots love and I mean, that’s guys, you’re you’ll you’ll have an edge over a lot of your competitors if you do that kind of stuff. But I would still recommend that for money site stuff, you flush the content, the content of the page out to. Marco, what say you
Marco: Yeah, I mean that absolutely. Two things right. structured and unstructured data structured data is for the bot feed the bot as much as you can, which is exactly what we do. And why we use drive stacks and Gsites and iframe and everything that the entities entity stack, and everything else that we don’t I mean that it there’s a method to our madness. Now, if you then go and you send a person to a page. And now we’re talking about people, we’re not talking about bots, because what’s going to happen is you’re going to rank. And that’s going to bring your traffic onto the page. And if there’s nothing on that page to engage the person, then we no longer care about the but now we care about that person coming to the website and converting, finishing the action that they were set out to do, because if that person comes on the website and bounces, then you did you defeated the entire purpose of creating the all of the stacking that we created in the first place, which was to get that person onto the page that would convert them over an image is going to convert them of an image is going to get them to push and call whatever it is that you need to be done. To finish that, that then that’s what’s going to matter. So, two different things. If you need the content to rank you have to look at the competition. If you can rank or outrank the competition without 2000 or 3000 words of content, By all means, nobody, and nobody’s going to sit there and go through the 3000 words of content on this is a really interested in whatever it is that you have to say. what you’re interested in, is that conversion, because that’s what centers everything at the end. And that’s what Google is going to look at from beginning to end is whether that task and that goal. Well, whether it was accomplished.
How Do You Setup A GMB Page For A Business That Operates In Multiple States?
Awesome, thanks, Marco. So the next question was from jack, I’m not the next question is my client is based out of Texas but operates in five other states fully across the states not limited to anyone Metro region. What’s the best way to set up the company GMB page, so reviews for one state aggregate under the main company as well. Or if that’s not possible, what would be the best way to go about setting up the GMB either individually and each state Or globally under some other configuration? Well, remember Google My Business is supposed to be especially now there’s another question I see on the page here a little bit lower about what happened on November 8. And from my understanding, which I’ve only done very, I’ve only kind of read through some comments and stuff, is that it was more it was basically an update to the maps algorithm for GMB stuff. And it’s gone even more proximity-based. So they’ve Google’s tightened the proximity filter, so to speak. And so with that said, Google, my business is supposed to be for local businesses, right? I mean, we’ve talked about setting up GMBs and you know, setting your service area, the United States, for example, and that’s okay, but it’s not it’s okay for like the entity but it’s not going to help you to rank anywhere in the United States and maps. That said, you’re also in this case, you’re talking about five different states. They’re located in Texas but they operate in five other states. So you potentially you could have if you have an office and in each of their other states, you could have GMB for each office location. It’s not necessary but you can. That said if you wanted to get reviews and let’s just say Arizona, I’m just assuming let’s just say that that’s one of the states that you operate in. If you get reviews in Arizona, but you want them to populate on the Texas GMB if that’s the way you have it set up. It’s not you can’t do that. If you had a gym be in Arizona, I mean, if all you have is the one Google My Business location in Texas, then it doesn’t matter where you get the reviews from. They’re all going to aggregate on that one and only Google My Business location. My point that I’m trying to make is you cannot get GMB reviews in one location and have them also populate onto another GMB location. You can’t do that. It because each GMB entity or location is supposed to be it’s own and collect its own or, you know, aggregate its own reviews. So that said, You know, I would, I would consider what it is you’re trying to do. As far as if you have multiple GMBs, which I’m not sure that you do, but if you do, then what I would recommend you do is set up use some sort of review directing app. I know for contractors, one of the ones that work really well as birdeye.com. I think another one might be Podium, I’ve not used that. But what are some of my contractor clients use Bird Eye, and that works well, but it’s like a review gate, right? So it would be an app where you send out to customers, or clients or whatever the company or the business sends out to customers and ask for some listen to review or at ask for a review. And then somebody leaves a review and it directs the app can direct where the review gets published to if that makes sense. So you have more control over it that way and if it’s you know, below three stars, then it can be not posted as a review. Instead, it could be brought to, you know, sent to the customer service team so that they can reach out and try to resolve potential issues, that kind of stuff, I would look into something like that if you’re trying to have more control over where your reviews are coming from and where they’re going to be posted to. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: Yeah, I’m just guessing that his client and whatever it is that they’re doing that it triggers a three-pack, right? It triggers a map pack and it triggers map rankings if that’s the case. Then get a map wherein each one of the places where where your client operate, and associate everything to the main entity, that’s how Texas so then the AI which is sophisticated enough to then understand once you begin associating all of these to understand that it’s all part of the same company with it’s a company that operates out of Texas but has regional offices in five other states. So that if you do get a review, for example, in Texas for the company in another state, it could be taken into consideration. I’m not saying that the AI is that sophisticated, but it could mean at some point it will be, it will be able to understand all of these different relationships and put everything together. And if you do a really good job in your structured data of putting all of this together for the buck, then you won’t even have to leave it to the bot to guess and try to understand what this is all about. You can tell it you can go with everything in JSON LD to tell about what this is all about. Having done that, then you don’t have to worry about reviewing everything, or aggregating everything under the main company, it will all be taken together because everything is associated if you’ve done your job correctly. Now, if it’s globally that we’re not worrying about maps, and then the reviews wouldn’t even come into play, unless you have unless you can trigger a knowledge And that’s a totally different story.
Bradley: Yeah, and if that’s the case, if it was globally then I would just have all reviews going to the one GMB asset, wherever the primary location is, because then all you’re trying to do is build the brand, not individual locations, right?
What Are Your Insights On The Reported Traffic Drop Last November 8, 2019?
So Ross says, Hey, everyone, and then he’s got the follow-up question below, which I’ll just that’s what and now come back to Joey’s question where he says Ross is new here. What the hell happened on November 8, lots of traffic drops and the insight and that’s what I was just talking about, as far as I know. I’m sure Marco’s got more insight on this than I do. Because I don’t geek out about this stuff anymore. If I don’t see major drops in my stuff, I don’t worry about it. So but apparently the what it from what I understand it was another maps update where it looks like they tightened the proximity filter to where it’s it’s even narrower now. Is that correct? Marco?
Marco: That’s absolutely correct. They tighten up on the proximity. And proximity is a ranking factor, it’s we can literally call it the most important ranking factor, although you can still overcome. That’s why we don’t usually see all of these changes in the things that we do. Because you can overcome anything, any part of the algorithm, you can overcome it. And people are saying that well don’t use brute force. Don’t do this. Don’t do that. You can totally overcome anything through what they call it in the Rocky movie, good old fashioned blunt force trauma. And that’s just feeding the but just a whole lot of related information, wherever it is that you that you’re trying to expand to. So even though even if the proximity factor is the main ranking factor, there are other ranking factors that can and do come into play, if you can overcome that one factor. So is that something to just totally say, Oh my god, now I have to go get a DMB in eternity. City, not only in the area where I am but in the surrounding areas, it’s being able to overcome that proximity factor. And we do it and we do a really good job of teaching that in local GSB Pro. And now, you know being at the location and being able to upload images and being able to show Google that you’re actually there and that everything is actually from that location has become more important than ever.
Bradley: Yes, very good.
Does The Size Of Embeds Matter?
So let’s jump back to Joey’s question. It says hi, does the size of embeds matter? In other words, embedding a 10 by 10 GMB site is still the equivalent of embedding a 600 by 300. So the frame could be one by 110 by 10 or 600 by 300. And you still pass the juice Thank you. I’m size doesn’t matter. Only because if you have it too small, then that could be considered cloaking. Am I correct in that statement?
Marco: Yeah, yeah, you could, you could be tagged For cloaking, although it’s really hard if I mean if you do it right there no word. Most people can’t do it right, which is why we don’t even teach it.
Bradley: Yeah. I mean, technically Yes, you can still pass the SEO with the iframe present even if it’s a one by one pixel.
Marco: Even if it’s a zero by zero
Bradley: Yeah, it technically you can absolutely do that. I wouldn’t recommend it if you know, because if anybody manually reviews it and saw it, then they could, you know, they could flag you for manual action. So
Marco: that would be the biggest problem right with someone coming in and actually, you triggering, First of all, triggering enough red flags to trigger a manual review so that someone from Google would actually come to your website because nobody trusts you’re not making enough money now. Nobody. Most people are making enough money to worry about Google to have someone waste all of their valuable resources on looking at your fucking website in the first place. If you do get that big or if just if you just happen to get unlucky enough to trigger a manual, and they come and see that zero by zero thing, yes, that is cloaking. There’s no reason for you to have a zero by zero iframe one by one unless it’s a pixel, right? Facebook, Google, whatever, if it’s unless it’s tracking code. So they come in and look and they see code and it looks fishy. You’re more likely to get hit with a manual and probably deindex, because I’ve seen cloaking get hit really, really hard.
Bradley: Yeah, agreed. Okay, so we’ll say, Hey, Marco, have you announced the date of the four webinars for Bert? I guess that’s for the charity stuff.
Marco: Yeah, no, I’m still working on that. It’s not only BERT, but I’m also going to go into entities and AI and NLP and what it actually is what it isn’t. We’re gonna we’re going to discuss and talk about everything that that other People just either refused to talk about, or they don’t know enough about it to be able to discuss it. As soon as I have it already, I’m going to announce it. I’m going to announce the date I’m going to give you the donation page. And remember this all goes to a really good cause it’s getting kids who would otherwise not be able to get an education getting them into school, so that they can get a good education get trained to get jobs and, you know, have a chance at life.
Bradley: Very cool. Alright, the next one, Fred says I was worried that that might be a problem. So that’s because I was kind of tongue in cheek picking. That is a huge, long question. He says, thanks so much for answering my 13 pages of questions. It helped a lot. Thanks, guys. You’re welcome, Fred.
What Is The Difference Between Q&A and FAQ?
Fit. So what’s up? 50 says what is the difference between Q&A and FAQ? Well, it’s, it’s kind of the same thing or it’s very closely related. Q&A is most of the time would like You can see in the SERPs is what I was talking about earlier. But FAQs that can be a little bit more specific to an individual like a business. Right? So I mean, they’re kind of basically the same. As far as schema markup, it’s the same. But what I mean the difference is frequently asked questions are should be answered by a client or business, right? Like, what is the questions that they get? asked the most by prospects and or customers or clients? Right? And they should have answers to that. But when it comes to q amp, a, what I’m what these, the way that I look at it is when you go to Google and you search for question, you’ll see related questions that get asked enough that somebody took the time to create content around answering that question, and then marking it up correctly on their website so that they could get added to the featured snippets in Google search. So it stands to reason that that question gets asked enough. It might be a frequently asked question for another business that maybe your particular client or business doesn’t get asked that much, but it’s still relevant. That makes sense. So they’re very closely related, but there is a slight difference, at least in my opinion.
Marco: Yeah, the difference is that that Q&A, people should be able to either ask questions or answer questions on the website, if they’re not able, if they’re your frequently asked questions and your answers are there’s no way for users to engage with that. Then it’s FAQ frequently asked questions. Q&A, again, is on a website where people can go in and interact with the questions and the answer. Yeah.
Bradley: Yeah, guys, it you know, I’ve talked about this probably in Syndication Academy. And I’ll probably I’ll just give this give another nugget away here because it works really well. And we’re almost out of time. So anyway, those Q&A questions that you can curate, right from Google and the beautiful thing about it is if you type in a question about product service in an industry whatever the questions box comes up now what the drop-downs each time you click on a drop-down, it brings up like three or four more questions. So like you can just keep drilling down into those guys and that gives you almost unlimited content. Like, Think about it. It’s a content hack, right, you can grab a question and an answer from those Question and Answer boxes that Google provides you and use that in GMB posts for example, right, just cite the source just like I was talking about earlier is the in the Q&A box right that the dropdown. as it expands, it gives you the snippet with the answer at least a partial answer. It might not be the full answer, but it gives a snippet and then it has the link to read more. Well, you can still use that link in the GMB post too so you give proper credit to where it’s due. That’s a nofollow link and a GMB post the button link right, and a GMB post. So the button URL, the URL that you attach to the call to action button. That is a dofollow link, although I here in just the past few days probably since November 8. Some of those are nofollow. And I think it’s just because Google is still tinkering around in there. But those are dofollow links. So you can still link back to the answer, have a QA, write a question and answer that you curate it you basically are republishing from Google’s own search results, to add relevancy to the GMB. You can do this on your money site too and link back to the source which is only proper and right. But then use the button URL in the GMB post the link back to your money site, right to your page that also is about that very topic or question and answer right so you again, you’re it’s creating co-citation. It’s creating topical relevancy, and you don’t even have to come up with the content. You can even go through and curate groups of questions like question and then create blog posts out of those on your money site where once again, you’re publishing the question plus the answer. You can create a table of contents at the top of the page Marco stop me from getting too deep here. But with a table of contents with jump links, anchor links, right that jump down to each section that has a different question. It has the answer that links back out to the source, right, but it’s a nofollow link on the blog post. And then just like a curated post, you can inject some commentary in between that stuff, with an opening paragraph and a closing paragraph with a call to action to contact your business or your company, your client that you’re doing the work for, for help or services with that, you know, for products or services that solve those problems, those questions that make sense.
So again, guys, it’s a great strategy to use those questions as a farm those questions right mine those questions, harvest those questions or whatever you want to say from one of those from this q&a panels that pop up in the Google search results and drill down into them. You can get gold topic ideas, blog post ideas GMB post ideas from that kind of stuff.
Which Of Your Courses In Which You Teach About Making ID Pages and Mirror Gsites?
So, Alright, the last question is oh Austin Don says, which of your courses do you teach about making it pages and mirror g sites? Well the mastermind, RYS reloaded local GMB Pro, any one of those three the mastermind local GMB Pro or RYS reloaded what it was, it’s covered in all three of those locations. So, am I missing any here guys?
Marco: I don’t think you did. Okay.
Bradley: Adam, you want to chime in? All right, last is not really a question. It’s just a comment and then we’re going to wrap it up, guys. I’ve got a TV repairman showing up in about five minutes. Anyways, I asked the question about GMBs and review in one location versus all the states that clients the Klein operates and this was that question about Texas and five additional states. We answered previously he says no follow up question. I just wanted to say thank you for answering it and you knocked it out of the park. I’ve wrestled with this in my head for a week and you made it clear as day thanks again, guys for all that you do. You’re very welcome. That’s what this venue is for. Anything else guys?
Marco: No, not unless another question popped up now. on the page,
Adam: I think you just scroll over Bradley, but the last call for everybody. Head over there. Just follow the instructions on Facebook get early access to the YouTube and UTM course Bradley’s going to be put together here over the holidays and save a bundle but like they said to if you want to wait a little bit and pay us three times too much more. So okay with that.
Bradley: And let’s go ahead. I was gonna say I actually prefer that. But, you know, I want you guys to save that additional $200 to spend it on your family’s at Christmas. So
Marco: and stop by the mastermind tomorrow. The webinar, because we’re going to show how much we’ve improved the user experience. Want to show how easy it is to find the information now before it was just okay, how do I get through five years of information? Yeah, because we have five years worth of videos in there in the archives, right? So just the latest videos. It’s everything since we started. As I did you get through all that, well, now we made it really simple for you to get through it.
Bradley: That’s been a long time coming. There’s just so much damn content, so much video-based content and long mastermind webinars. It’s been hard to, for people to find stuff and that’s a problem we’ve been dealing with for a long time. And we Marco has been working on it in the background for since I think January of this year, maybe February, but it’s been a long time. And now it’s here. It’s ready. So it’s awesome. It’s a big, big improvement. So, all right, everybody, thanks for being here. We’ll see some of you tomorrow, the rest of you next week. Awesome. Bye, everyone. Bye, everyone.

Adam: Um, no, is that a thing?
Chris: I didn’t know. Like, I noticed there was were all kinds of like online sales on the 11th of November. So I was actually quite surprised.
Adam: 11 11 maybe just like making use of the numbers. You know, right. Fair enough. Well, I missed out on that since
Bradley: it’s just like every year, people start putting their Christmas trees and decorations up and the station started playing Christmas music earlier on earlier every fucking year. So I imagine Black Friday starts getting earlier on early every year now to so jet rise.

We got some good stuff coming.
Marco: I have two public service announcements. Adams Sorry to interrupt.
Adam: Yeah, let’s do it.
Marco: Black Friday will be on Wednesdays from now on. I just determined that. And to all joking aside, we always say that be and the mastermind has its privileges. Well, I’ve been personally working really hard and incorporating some really not gonna say what it is, but some just some really neat things into the Mastermind to make the user experience to and to make people finding what they’re looking for. To make that way better to improve the experience so that people can come in and find exactly what they’re looking for, where it is, you know, so whatever it is that you’re trying to find, Marco will talk shit about Google on and I can’t remember when Well, it’s not finished, not 100% because there is artificial intelligence involved. And interestingly enough the world is the SEO world is an uproar because of BERT, and we’re actually using BERT in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind so again, mastermind being a member of the Semantic Mastermind does have its privileges because you’re first to get everything that we do business building and ideas and concepts, and all of these different things. Hey, on tomorrow’s mastermind webinar will be talking about BERT and AI and what it is actually, because you see all of these discussions and all of these forums and then all these Facebook groups, and nobody has an I’m not going to drop an F-bomb here. Nobody has an effing clue as to what it is that they’re talking. They don’t know what BERT is. And all you have to do is go into the documentation to see what BERT is and what it does. And you’ll know that it’s absolutely nothing to worry about. Absolutely nothing because of the way that we teach you how to do things in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind. So not only does it have its privileges in that we give you cutting it and anything that we can do to make your Your life easier to enter to make, whether its clients whether tank, whatever it is, it’s there and we give it to people but it’s also we try to make your life easier. We try to do all of these different things. Because you’re a member of the Semantic Mastery Mastermind. It’s included in the membership fee, nobody will have to pay extra for all the work that went into the back end of the mastermind to make things so much better. So, I’m sorry, it seems like it’s a pitch fest for the mastermind. And I should be pitching the hell out of it. Because it’s so good. We get testimonials time and again, of how well our stuff works. And so yeah, we should be here, tooting our own horns and singing our praises and whatever. I’m not going to go into that anymore. Just I’m just letting people know if you’re in the Semantic Mastery <stermind, be there tomorrow and see just how much we have improved the learning experience. Let’s call it
Adam: Amen. got one more to add on to that you guys are now made a post believe on November 4 about big news for Bradley. Bradley is going to be putting together some training, we decided based on the response. There’s still a little bit of time if you want to get down on this, and what it is, is step by step program on how to grow, grow a massive brand using YouTube and GDN, Ads. And, you know, we just want to engage, because we have, especially Bradley didn’t want to be putting in a lot of time and effort doing the training, you know, right leading up into the holidays if people weren’t interested. But so far, we’ve got 71 comments, people interested in early access at a hell of a discount. So I’m going to put the link in if you want to get in on that. Just comment, leave a GIF or a comment on the Facebook thread and we will be in touch with you shortly. We’re going to have some information that information about that going up. Hernan says let me in I think he got booted from the from Hump Day Hangouts.
Bradley: He’s back in
Adam: Alright, well, guys, with that said, we got anything else before we get into questions here.
Bradley: I’ll just give a little update on a couple of things. Number one, we’ve got anybody that joined Local Kingpin, which was the Google Ads training for using search ads for lead generation. That’s going to be an update webinar on Monday. Because the interface has changed so much the principles, the method is still pretty much the same, though. There’s just some slight differences that I’m going to cover. And the interface, Google Ads interface has changed a lot. Plus they’ve got a lot of new or improved features, such as automated bidding strategies and things like that, that I used to suggest never to use, but they’ve gotten so much better over the last year and a half, two years because of AI and it’s so much better. So artificial intelligence. And so we’re going to talk about that slightly plus any questions that anybody has So that’ll be Monday, it’ll be probably only about an hour long. That’s just for me to give an update and answer questions. So if you’re in Local Kingpin, I encourage you to get signed up for that.
Also, the Google Ads course that Adam was just talking about, that I’m going to be starting in two weeks, I think it’s one and I say we’re going to do that. I think Monday, the 25th is going to be the first webinar and that’ll be about 90 minutes, maybe longer if there’s, you know, a lot of Q&A at the end, and then December 9th, and that’s going to be a two-part deal. The first one will be about YouTube ads and how to use that for branding. And for not not not so much lead generation it will produce leads, but it’s not a direct lead generator, it it will but it’s more about branding, and also driving relevant traffic into your digital assets. So your entity essentially. So we’re going to talk about YouTube on the first webinar. And then on the second webinar. Again, that’ll be December 9th. We’re going to talk about using the Google Display Network. So it’s good Google Ads training specifically for YouTube and the Google Display Network for setting up branding campaigns which works incredibly well for both building brand awareness but also for generating relevant targeted traffic from specific audiences from specific geo locations if it’s for local into your entities, your digital assets for a particular brand which is great for SEO. So it’s a way for using Google ads to not only produce relevant traffic but improve brand awareness as well as help the SEO that your any SEO work that you’re doing, because you’re driving relevant, targeted traffic from known audiences and Google to your SEO as your assets that you’ve been doing SEO work on. And that takes care of ART right – relevance, trust, and authority. Google understands that that’s that recognize that traffic is an activity. It’s relevant because it’s from known audiences and specific geolocation if that’s if it’s for local you can target by geolocation, and it’s also trusted, trusted and authority trusted traffic because it’s coming from Google’s known Google’s audience buckets. And essentially, so it’s going to be it’s very, very powerful. I’ve just been crushing it with Google ads for clients over the last several months. And it just works really, really well. And I’ve been using them for my own business as well. And it’s, it’s just a great, great strategy. So that said, it’s, um, it’s going to be a pre, like right now you can get in for like, the pre-training special or whatever, where it’s, it’s a third of what it’s going to be once I’m done recording those webinars, it’s going to be packaged up and sold for probably 300 bucks, or right right, right around there. So if you want to get in for a third of that, I would recommend that you go check out the post that Adam posted, comment on it and then get signed up. Okay. All right.
Marco: So they’re more than welcome to wait and pay us more later. Yeah, that’s fine too. But I would suggest for people not to wait.
Bradley: Alright, so can we get into it? Now,
Adam: let’s do it.
Bradley: All right, we got the screen. Okay, somebody confirm.
Adam: Good to go.
Bradley: Okay, so everybody can see my humping Wednesday meme GIFs alright. Hump Day right, Wednesday.
How Would You Add Relevancy To Your Money Site Using Drive Stacks?
So, Alright, so the first questions are and it’s multiple questions. It’s 13 pages worth of questions from Fred Wilson and Fred. Well, I appreciate your and I really do. I appreciate your questions. That’s a bit much for Hump Day Hangouts. And also, it’s getting a little bit into the weeds for stuff that we would typically only cover in this much depth in mastermind, which I’m sure you’re fully aware of that, as a former mastermind member, or an RYS Academy reloaded specifically since it’s so it pertains to drive stack stuff and kind of deep into the weeds. But with that said, Marco, how much of this do you want to answer?
Marco: I haven’t really re-read the question. So,
Bradley: Yeah. So should I give you about 10 minutes to get through it?
Marco: All right. Do you have a general question that you can add the I’d be more than happy to answer general questions, but if it’s something that’s specific, yeah, that again, membership has its privileges and this things that I’m only answer for paying members and I mean, that that’s just that’s the way it should be. I’m sure that people who have paid three $4,000 for the course would appreciate me keeping the secret sauce in where it belongs.
Bradley: Yeah. And I agree and that, you know, I’ve read through the first two sections of this three-part question this three-section question, and I realized that it’s, it’s a lot more in-depth than what we would typically answer on a free Hump Day hangout because it’s getting into very specific tactics. From RYS reloaded, we would cover it also in the mastermind, I’m sure. But this is not something that we can get that deep into it. That said, I’ll give you kind of a general overview, and I’ll kind of answer it and let you take add to it, Marco, and then we’ll move on to the next one. So Fred, we would welcome you back to the mastermind at any moment.
If we’re going to RYS Reloaded, either one of those would be good places to get this particular question answered. But that said, He’s talking about his food business, his food tour business and talking about how to add additional relevancy. He did some keyword theme research using SEM Rush and looking at some of the competitors and found that there is some other keywords other than just food tour type keywords that can help to add relevancy that are kind of associated with the food tour business, but he hasn’t been targeting them. And so the question is would adding in some of these other types of keyboard themes into the drive stack folders as subfolders within food tour folders, would that help to add relevancy? And because of the association that Google’s is showing? And so I mean, to me, you’ve already answered your question. Yes. You know, if there’s if there’s a way to create that association, that you’re you’ve discovered by doing some additional research, looking at competitors using some tools like sem rush and all of that kind of stuff, then yeah, you can you can add that additional relevancy into your drive stack. And that’s going to certainly help. I don’t know if you want to go further than that. Marco.
Marco: Yeah. Just a little bit, because, I mean, I can answer this generally we go after, especially the way that our keyword research VA is being taught, we go after anything that Google considers relevant. In a keyword, research cake, and we give you guys whoever orders the gig, the deep keyword research, all of that information. We do separate the movie will give you tasks will give you silos will give you information that we feel is where the money makers are, what the relevant keywords are, and maybe something that that that that isn’t a money keyword, but Google still thinks that that is relevant. All of that is necessary because what we do inside the drive stack is create relevantly and push. Right? We create a relevance push from everything that we do from the spider web silo to the way that the drive stack is built to the way that the G site is built to the way the inner pages are done to the way that we mimic what’s on the website. So yes, by all means, I don’t care. We do use SEM Rush for keyword relevance, but that’s not necessarily what will target what we do is we use Jeffrey Smith’s Ultimate SEO Bootcamp training. And we go according to how he teaches what the top-level categories are. Then from there, work down and create the silos there, you will create three silos. But everything that’s relevant should be at it. Remember when Network Empire started talking about color, current stuff, it’s not, it’s not there. But they began talking about it. And they began explaining it more what it was all about, what it means. And really, that’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to create all of this in a self-contained Google environment for the bot to feed on, which is, that’s exactly what we’re doing.
Is It Safe Against Plagiarism To Curate Content With Attribution From Google Snippet?
Bradley: Yeah. And so the next question part of this, which it’s kinda interesting that you asked this, Fred because we covered this, our own our very own data. You know, master link builder, was at our live event, hopefully, live 2019 in Denver, just recently, and he was talking about doing something similar that you’re asking about, which is adding q&a. Questions and Answers into a doc within your Gsite within your drive stack and just linking back to the source but not actually hyperlinking just putting like the text-based link. So you’re providing a citation, but what so you’re citing the source, right? So you’re providing attribution, but you’re not hyperlinking back. I would say that should be okay, provided you’re not copying, you know, if you’re just copying snippets, like what is shown in the Google search results for the q amp a section. So when you search for a question in Google, and it brings up that featured snippet, which is a q amp a box, right, and it’s got the dropdowns, and you click the drop-down, and then it shows a short it shows the full question and then a short answer and a link back to the source where it’s pulling that answer from that question and answer from you can embed that or you know, kind of copy and paste that into a Google doc or something like that. And then still late as long as you’re not expanding by going to the actual destination URL and copying more of the content. It’s just a snippet. So it falls under the same rules of curating content would be on a blog post in that, if you’re just highlighting, you know, reusing republishing a short snippet from somebody else’s content, and then you’re providing attribution citing the source, then it should be okay. Now, some people, some publishers will still make eventually, you know, sometimes they may find it and they may request that you unpublish it. But as far as it being a copyright infringement, as long as it’s just a small snippet, and it’s you’re citing the source, it should, it should never be an issue. Although like I said, out of courtesy, if anybody ever were to contact you and say Please take this down or unpublished this, then you know, I would recommend that you just do it to avoid any sort of, you know, some sort of stupid battle that could ensue. Although again, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it legally because you are citing the source and it falls within a specific brand. Members of the DMC act right there were the digital, whatever Copyright Act. So I would just, you know, encourage you not to go any further than what is shown in the snippets and the featured snippets within Google search.
That said, also, you’re asked about curating a lot of content about a topic putting it inside the drive stack, then putting links to your money site, the correct way to push relevancy for your money site? Again, yes, you can do that. The same thing is by curating content on your money site, you can do that. Right. So think about that. That’s what we’ve taught for years is the best way to generate content before even money site blog posts unless you’re a subject matter expert and you’re creating 100% original content. The problem with that is even as an as a subject matter expert, sometimes you get you run out of ideas. But there are a ton of other subject matter experts. I’m not talking about buying shitty content farm content, I’m talking about locating subject Matter content written by subject matter experts pertaining to your topic, right or your niche your industry, and then republishing, once again snippets of it, and giving credit to where it’s, you know, citing the source giving attribution. And in the case of curating on a blog, your money site blog, you know, we always recommend hyperlinking to the source. And just using nofollow External links, that’s what I’ve always done. Um, but that’s very, very powerful. Because once again, you can create an original article out of using snippets of other people’s content, where you’re just adding commentary and opening paragraph commentary in between pieces of curated content, which doesn’t have to be just articles, it can be videos, infographics, don’t curate images. Please don’t do that. You can. That’s a no-no, but you can curate infographics, videos, mp3, so audio files, you know, other articles, you can curate all that kind of stuff. And it helps because it allows you to be able to produce content very quickly, inexpensively. And you can even train a virtual assistant, somebody that’s not a subject matter expert how to locate good content, and compile it in a logical fashion, and then just add commentary. So in other words, you know, you can come up with a topic for a blog post, find supporting articles or even differing opinion articles, right so that you can do a compare and contrast or pros and cons or argue both sides of a topic in particular curated article if that makes sense. It’s very, very powerful. And it’s a great way to create co-citation, which is similar to co-occurrence in that you’re linking out to other relevant sources. And so again, we talked about all of that in content kingpin, it’s a training course that is still 100% relevant today. I still use that for all of my clients, that same exact method for curating content for all of my clients. You can apply that to drive stack stuff to you’re still going to build that relevancy, topical relevancy. Just make sure you’re Giving attribution even if you’re not hyperlinking to it, I recommend you absolutely always give credit where credit is due. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: No, I totally agree. It’s a matter of mirroring right? Everything that you would do on the money site you do on the drive stack and Gsite, including curating content. That’s right.
How Do You Add A Schema Markup To A Local Business Press Release?
Okay, cool. Well, the next question is from Kaydee. Hi, guys. How do you add schema markup to press releases for a local business? Press advantage sent an email with a link to Google structured data markup helper tool to create the code but on the page, it is asking to select a data type and then paste your URL of the page you wish to mark up. What URL do we enter here? I don’t know. Because I don’t use that tool. I’m going to point out another one here for you in a moment. The press release is not yet published. So it has no URL to target the markup and the data type is to tick in and the data type to tick is a local business. Thanks to know and here’s why. Because if you’re if you have your own press advantage account, or even if you Buy him through MGYB. And we set up an organization page or you set it up through your own account, right? So you set up an organization page, that’s where you should have your local business markup. If it’s, you know, an organization page for local business, you should have your local business structured data markup in the organization page, right, which will get added to all of the press releases that get pushed out. And some may not all, but many of the publisher sites that were they get published to will actually pick up that JSON LD code for local business markup. Okay, so you add that to your organization page. However, I’ve got a press advantage open here. Let’s see if it hopefully it brings me into the same standby I’m gonna have to pause my screen for a moment because of it my plugin that reset my browser that Marco pointed out, a reset my reset the tab, so give me one second while I get what you’re looking for.
Marco: Let me just tell people That if your press release gets published and you go and look at some of the websites were able to publish, and you don’t see the schema markup, but you don’t see an iframe that you send out or whatever, that’s not on us. It’s not even on press advantage. It’s actually on that website, not wanting, you know, stripping out all of the code. But what we want anyway, is we want to get that in as many places as we can. And that’s why I go it goes out to the entire publication network, but not every website will publish whatever it is that you submitted, just did just to make it clear to everyone because we do get support tickets about that. And it’s like, yeah, there’s nothing that we could do.
Bradley: Yeah, so to show you what I’m talking about. First of all, if we go to press advantage for the organization, which I should I forgot I got my ID page looped into this is going to break the browser. Let me see if I can get to Page Source before it shuts everything down. Um, Alright, so let’s see if it’ll pull this up. It might not. Okay, there we go. So if we scroll down, we’ll see right here is my local business structure data markup starting right here. From here to there. That’s my local business structure data markup, that’s part of the organization page. Right. And so again, as Marco just mentioned, some sites when we publish when it distributes the press releases, it has this codependent to it. You know, it started with it with the press release, but some sites will pick it up and publish that JSON LD code as well. What I think you’re talking about is for individual press releases, so here I am inside the dashboard. If you scroll down now there’s a section says enter JSON LD schema, this will be attached to the release in addition to any organization-specific schema. So that’s what I was talking about before. If it’s a local business, you want it which is what I was showing here. You want to have local business structure data markup on the page, right that their organization page, but then For the individual, a press release, excuse me, you can add additional schema markup here. So what I would recommend here and you know you can do other stuff too depends on what you’re having published. But what I would recommend is going to and this is a tool that I use most of the time, we’re going to have one in MGYB here shortly, I’m not sure if it’s available yet. But this is the one that I’ve been using for quite some time.
If you just go to Google and search for schema markup generator, look for technicalSEO.com or just go to technicalSEO.com and look for the schema markup generator, which is over here in the left sidebar. There’s different types of schema markups that this tool will generate different types of schema. And so the very first one is article click on the article and then when you look down here, when it loads this page, you come down here to Article type, and there’s actually one for news article. So select news article, and then just fill out these fields. And here’s your schema code over here on the right-hand sidebar. Once you’ve completed all these fields, Then you just copy that and paste that into Press Advantage over here. Now again, there are other types of schema that can be generated. So it depends on what the article is going to be about. But just doing news article schema markup is very, very powerful, right to add to each individual press release. Okay, so that’s what I would recommend. There are other tools out there that will generate this stuff to guys, this is just the one that I typically use. Okay. There’s a good question. Now, by the way, that said, I gotta tease this a little bit. I’m inside my blog for that same company, I was just sharing my real estate business. And this we’ve got coming soon. We’ve got some pretty cool stuff coming up. And like the plugin will generate this Jeffrey Smith plugin, but it’s the pro version, which isn’t released yet, but it’s coming soon. And it’s got all the schema markup generator right inside WordPress for all every different type of schema, you can think of. It’s fabulous. And so that same type that same article markup right there, if we come down here, there’s an article type, blog posting or news article. And then I can just fill out all this stuff. It creates the code right down here and embeds it into the header of this particular blog post. And I can click update, and boom, that’s going to have the same type of Article markup that we were just sharing. Pretty powerful stuff. So be on the lookout for that guys soon, early next year. That was a good tease. Right, guys?
Marco: Perfect.
Can You Embed The Website Pages In The GSite When Mirroring?
All right. Next one is Simon. He says We’re marrying the main website to the G site. Can you just embed the website pages on the site pages? Or is it necessary to copy and paste the content for each website page on to the G site pages, I just use the embeds. I’m lazy like that, right. I work on the money site pages. That’s what I flush out with good content. And I mirror them onto the site. And then I just and I do some other really cool stuff. We’ve been talking about how I do silos now. locations. So there’s topical silos and in location-based silos, but I do it in a very unique way. And it works really well, especially when you use a G site. And yeah, all I do is grab the embed or create an iframe out of the money site pages, and embed them into the G site page, then I optimize the title of the G site page, obviously. And then, you know, you can mirror that into a folder inside of your folder and files inside of your drive stack. And then just smash that shit with embeds and or links, or both. And it works really, really well hit ever remember, that’s your SEO shield. So we do everything externally to the SEO shield, right? So that would be the G site the drive stack and all of the tier one entity assets, which by the way, you can actually take those iframe into your syndication network properties to guys think about that. So right, there’s no reason you can’t push those embeds through to your syndication network properties too. good question though,
Does Proper Schema Markup Feed The Bot Enough And Not To Worry About Creating Long Articles?
Paul Thompson says, Does proper schema markup feed the bot enough that we don’t need to worry about creating long articles on the pages we want to rank? No, but it does. It does definitely help a lot. Marco is probably going to be better at answering this one than me. I would still for money sites stuff still flesh out the pages, but adding structured data, like what I just showed with my blog, where you were, you know, again, you can add it manually now like right now, since the pro plugins not available, this there might be other plugins out there that do it, but I don’t know if they provide the schema code that’s 100% up to date. I know that a lot of times they’re not updated enough. I’m not speaking badly about anybody else’s plugin. I just haven’t used them. But you can have like a code insert or plugin right so like. SoGo ad scripts header, footer and things like that header, footer type script plugins where you can add scripts into the head section or foot section or body section of any individual page or post, and you can go use schema creators like what I just shared, and create schema markup and and then put them into each one of your posts or pages or whatever, so that you’re adding additional, you know, schema structured data that the bots love and I mean, that’s guys, you’re you’ll you’ll have an edge over a lot of your competitors if you do that kind of stuff. But I would still recommend that for money site stuff, you flush the content, the content of the page out to. Marco, what say you
Marco: Yeah, I mean that absolutely. Two things right. structured and unstructured data structured data is for the bot feed the bot as much as you can, which is exactly what we do. And why we use drive stacks and Gsites and iframe and everything that the entities entity stack, and everything else that we don’t I mean that it there’s a method to our madness. Now, if you then go and you send a person to a page. And now we’re talking about people, we’re not talking about bots, because what’s going to happen is you’re going to rank. And that’s going to bring your traffic onto the page. And if there’s nothing on that page to engage the person, then we no longer care about the but now we care about that person coming to the website and converting, finishing the action that they were set out to do, because if that person comes on the website and bounces, then you did you defeated the entire purpose of creating the all of the stacking that we created in the first place, which was to get that person onto the page that would convert them over an image is going to convert them of an image is going to get them to push and call whatever it is that you need to be done. To finish that, that then that’s what’s going to matter. So, two different things. If you need the content to rank you have to look at the competition. If you can rank or outrank the competition without 2000 or 3000 words of content, By all means, nobody, and nobody’s going to sit there and go through the 3000 words of content on this is a really interested in whatever it is that you have to say. what you’re interested in, is that conversion, because that’s what centers everything at the end. And that’s what Google is going to look at from beginning to end is whether that task and that goal. Well, whether it was accomplished.
How Do You Setup A GMB Page For A Business That Operates In Multiple States?
Awesome, thanks, Marco. So the next question was from jack, I’m not the next question is my client is based out of Texas but operates in five other states fully across the states not limited to anyone Metro region. What’s the best way to set up the company GMB page, so reviews for one state aggregate under the main company as well. Or if that’s not possible, what would be the best way to go about setting up the GMB either individually and each state Or globally under some other configuration? Well, remember Google My Business is supposed to be especially now there’s another question I see on the page here a little bit lower about what happened on November 8. And from my understanding, which I’ve only done very, I’ve only kind of read through some comments and stuff, is that it was more it was basically an update to the maps algorithm for GMB stuff. And it’s gone even more proximity-based. So they’ve Google’s tightened the proximity filter, so to speak. And so with that said, Google, my business is supposed to be for local businesses, right? I mean, we’ve talked about setting up GMBs and you know, setting your service area, the United States, for example, and that’s okay, but it’s not it’s okay for like the entity but it’s not going to help you to rank anywhere in the United States and maps. That said, you’re also in this case, you’re talking about five different states. They’re located in Texas but they operate in five other states. So you potentially you could have if you have an office and in each of their other states, you could have GMB for each office location. It’s not necessary but you can. That said if you wanted to get reviews and let’s just say Arizona, I’m just assuming let’s just say that that’s one of the states that you operate in. If you get reviews in Arizona, but you want them to populate on the Texas GMB if that’s the way you have it set up. It’s not you can’t do that. If you had a gym be in Arizona, I mean, if all you have is the one Google My Business location in Texas, then it doesn’t matter where you get the reviews from. They’re all going to aggregate on that one and only Google My Business location. My point that I’m trying to make is you cannot get GMB reviews in one location and have them also populate onto another GMB location. You can’t do that. It because each GMB entity or location is supposed to be it’s own and collect its own or, you know, aggregate its own reviews. So that said, You know, I would, I would consider what it is you’re trying to do. As far as if you have multiple GMBs, which I’m not sure that you do, but if you do, then what I would recommend you do is set up use some sort of review directing app. I know for contractors, one of the ones that work really well as birdeye.com. I think another one might be Podium, I’ve not used that. But what are some of my contractor clients use Bird Eye, and that works well, but it’s like a review gate, right? So it would be an app where you send out to customers, or clients or whatever the company or the business sends out to customers and ask for some listen to review or at ask for a review. And then somebody leaves a review and it directs the app can direct where the review gets published to if that makes sense. So you have more control over it that way and if it’s you know, below three stars, then it can be not posted as a review. Instead, it could be brought to, you know, sent to the customer service team so that they can reach out and try to resolve potential issues, that kind of stuff, I would look into something like that if you’re trying to have more control over where your reviews are coming from and where they’re going to be posted to. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: Yeah, I’m just guessing that his client and whatever it is that they’re doing that it triggers a three-pack, right? It triggers a map pack and it triggers map rankings if that’s the case. Then get a map wherein each one of the places where where your client operate, and associate everything to the main entity, that’s how Texas so then the AI which is sophisticated enough to then understand once you begin associating all of these to understand that it’s all part of the same company with it’s a company that operates out of Texas but has regional offices in five other states. So that if you do get a review, for example, in Texas for the company in another state, it could be taken into consideration. I’m not saying that the AI is that sophisticated, but it could mean at some point it will be, it will be able to understand all of these different relationships and put everything together. And if you do a really good job in your structured data of putting all of this together for the buck, then you won’t even have to leave it to the bot to guess and try to understand what this is all about. You can tell it you can go with everything in JSON LD to tell about what this is all about. Having done that, then you don’t have to worry about reviewing everything, or aggregating everything under the main company, it will all be taken together because everything is associated if you’ve done your job correctly. Now, if it’s globally that we’re not worrying about maps, and then the reviews wouldn’t even come into play, unless you have unless you can trigger a knowledge And that’s a totally different story.
Bradley: Yeah, and if that’s the case, if it was globally then I would just have all reviews going to the one GMB asset, wherever the primary location is, because then all you’re trying to do is build the brand, not individual locations, right?
What Are Your Insights On The Reported Traffic Drop Last November 8, 2019?
So Ross says, Hey, everyone, and then he’s got the follow-up question below, which I’ll just that’s what and now come back to Joey’s question where he says Ross is new here. What the hell happened on November 8, lots of traffic drops and the insight and that’s what I was just talking about, as far as I know. I’m sure Marco’s got more insight on this than I do. Because I don’t geek out about this stuff anymore. If I don’t see major drops in my stuff, I don’t worry about it. So but apparently the what it from what I understand it was another maps update where it looks like they tightened the proximity filter to where it’s it’s even narrower now. Is that correct? Marco?
Marco: That’s absolutely correct. They tighten up on the proximity. And proximity is a ranking factor, it’s we can literally call it the most important ranking factor, although you can still overcome. That’s why we don’t usually see all of these changes in the things that we do. Because you can overcome anything, any part of the algorithm, you can overcome it. And people are saying that well don’t use brute force. Don’t do this. Don’t do that. You can totally overcome anything through what they call it in the Rocky movie, good old fashioned blunt force trauma. And that’s just feeding the but just a whole lot of related information, wherever it is that you that you’re trying to expand to. So even though even if the proximity factor is the main ranking factor, there are other ranking factors that can and do come into play, if you can overcome that one factor. So is that something to just totally say, Oh my god, now I have to go get a DMB in eternity. City, not only in the area where I am but in the surrounding areas, it’s being able to overcome that proximity factor. And we do it and we do a really good job of teaching that in local GSB Pro. And now, you know being at the location and being able to upload images and being able to show Google that you’re actually there and that everything is actually from that location has become more important than ever.
Bradley: Yes, very good.
Does The Size Of Embeds Matter?
So let’s jump back to Joey’s question. It says hi, does the size of embeds matter? In other words, embedding a 10 by 10 GMB site is still the equivalent of embedding a 600 by 300. So the frame could be one by 110 by 10 or 600 by 300. And you still pass the juice Thank you. I’m size doesn’t matter. Only because if you have it too small, then that could be considered cloaking. Am I correct in that statement?
Marco: Yeah, yeah, you could, you could be tagged For cloaking, although it’s really hard if I mean if you do it right there no word. Most people can’t do it right, which is why we don’t even teach it.
Bradley: Yeah. I mean, technically Yes, you can still pass the SEO with the iframe present even if it’s a one by one pixel.
Marco: Even if it’s a zero by zero
Bradley: Yeah, it technically you can absolutely do that. I wouldn’t recommend it if you know, because if anybody manually reviews it and saw it, then they could, you know, they could flag you for manual action. So
Marco: that would be the biggest problem right with someone coming in and actually, you triggering, First of all, triggering enough red flags to trigger a manual review so that someone from Google would actually come to your website because nobody trusts you’re not making enough money now. Nobody. Most people are making enough money to worry about Google to have someone waste all of their valuable resources on looking at your fucking website in the first place. If you do get that big or if just if you just happen to get unlucky enough to trigger a manual, and they come and see that zero by zero thing, yes, that is cloaking. There’s no reason for you to have a zero by zero iframe one by one unless it’s a pixel, right? Facebook, Google, whatever, if it’s unless it’s tracking code. So they come in and look and they see code and it looks fishy. You’re more likely to get hit with a manual and probably deindex, because I’ve seen cloaking get hit really, really hard.
Bradley: Yeah, agreed. Okay, so we’ll say, Hey, Marco, have you announced the date of the four webinars for Bert? I guess that’s for the charity stuff.
Marco: Yeah, no, I’m still working on that. It’s not only BERT, but I’m also going to go into entities and AI and NLP and what it actually is what it isn’t. We’re gonna we’re going to discuss and talk about everything that that other People just either refused to talk about, or they don’t know enough about it to be able to discuss it. As soon as I have it already, I’m going to announce it. I’m going to announce the date I’m going to give you the donation page. And remember this all goes to a really good cause it’s getting kids who would otherwise not be able to get an education getting them into school, so that they can get a good education get trained to get jobs and, you know, have a chance at life.
Bradley: Very cool. Alright, the next one, Fred says I was worried that that might be a problem. So that’s because I was kind of tongue in cheek picking. That is a huge, long question. He says, thanks so much for answering my 13 pages of questions. It helped a lot. Thanks, guys. You’re welcome, Fred.
What Is The Difference Between Q&A and FAQ?
Fit. So what’s up? 50 says what is the difference between Q&A and FAQ? Well, it’s, it’s kind of the same thing or it’s very closely related. Q&A is most of the time would like You can see in the SERPs is what I was talking about earlier. But FAQs that can be a little bit more specific to an individual like a business. Right? So I mean, they’re kind of basically the same. As far as schema markup, it’s the same. But what I mean the difference is frequently asked questions are should be answered by a client or business, right? Like, what is the questions that they get? asked the most by prospects and or customers or clients? Right? And they should have answers to that. But when it comes to q amp, a, what I’m what these, the way that I look at it is when you go to Google and you search for question, you’ll see related questions that get asked enough that somebody took the time to create content around answering that question, and then marking it up correctly on their website so that they could get added to the featured snippets in Google search. So it stands to reason that that question gets asked enough. It might be a frequently asked question for another business that maybe your particular client or business doesn’t get asked that much, but it’s still relevant. That makes sense. So they’re very closely related, but there is a slight difference, at least in my opinion.
Marco: Yeah, the difference is that that Q&A, people should be able to either ask questions or answer questions on the website, if they’re not able, if they’re your frequently asked questions and your answers are there’s no way for users to engage with that. Then it’s FAQ frequently asked questions. Q&A, again, is on a website where people can go in and interact with the questions and the answer. Yeah.
Bradley: Yeah, guys, it you know, I’ve talked about this probably in Syndication Academy. And I’ll probably I’ll just give this give another nugget away here because it works really well. And we’re almost out of time. So anyway, those Q&A questions that you can curate, right from Google and the beautiful thing about it is if you type in a question about product service in an industry whatever the questions box comes up now what the drop-downs each time you click on a drop-down, it brings up like three or four more questions. So like you can just keep drilling down into those guys and that gives you almost unlimited content. Like, Think about it. It’s a content hack, right, you can grab a question and an answer from those Question and Answer boxes that Google provides you and use that in GMB posts for example, right, just cite the source just like I was talking about earlier is the in the Q&A box right that the dropdown. as it expands, it gives you the snippet with the answer at least a partial answer. It might not be the full answer, but it gives a snippet and then it has the link to read more. Well, you can still use that link in the GMB post too so you give proper credit to where it’s due. That’s a nofollow link and a GMB post the button link right, and a GMB post. So the button URL, the URL that you attach to the call to action button. That is a dofollow link, although I here in just the past few days probably since November 8. Some of those are nofollow. And I think it’s just because Google is still tinkering around in there. But those are dofollow links. So you can still link back to the answer, have a QA, write a question and answer that you curate it you basically are republishing from Google’s own search results, to add relevancy to the GMB. You can do this on your money site too and link back to the source which is only proper and right. But then use the button URL in the GMB post the link back to your money site, right to your page that also is about that very topic or question and answer right so you again, you’re it’s creating co-citation. It’s creating topical relevancy, and you don’t even have to come up with the content. You can even go through and curate groups of questions like question and then create blog posts out of those on your money site where once again, you’re publishing the question plus the answer. You can create a table of contents at the top of the page Marco stop me from getting too deep here. But with a table of contents with jump links, anchor links, right that jump down to each section that has a different question. It has the answer that links back out to the source, right, but it’s a nofollow link on the blog post. And then just like a curated post, you can inject some commentary in between that stuff, with an opening paragraph and a closing paragraph with a call to action to contact your business or your company, your client that you’re doing the work for, for help or services with that, you know, for products or services that solve those problems, those questions that make sense.
So again, guys, it’s a great strategy to use those questions as a farm those questions right mine those questions, harvest those questions or whatever you want to say from one of those from this q&a panels that pop up in the Google search results and drill down into them. You can get gold topic ideas, blog post ideas GMB post ideas from that kind of stuff.
Which Of Your Courses In Which You Teach About Making ID Pages and Mirror Gsites?
So, Alright, the last question is oh Austin Don says, which of your courses do you teach about making it pages and mirror g sites? Well the mastermind, RYS reloaded local GMB Pro, any one of those three the mastermind local GMB Pro or RYS reloaded what it was, it’s covered in all three of those locations. So, am I missing any here guys?
Marco: I don’t think you did. Okay.
Bradley: Adam, you want to chime in? All right, last is not really a question. It’s just a comment and then we’re going to wrap it up, guys. I’ve got a TV repairman showing up in about five minutes. Anyways, I asked the question about GMBs and review in one location versus all the states that clients the Klein operates and this was that question about Texas and five additional states. We answered previously he says no follow up question. I just wanted to say thank you for answering it and you knocked it out of the park. I’ve wrestled with this in my head for a week and you made it clear as day thanks again, guys for all that you do. You’re very welcome. That’s what this venue is for. Anything else guys?
Marco: No, not unless another question popped up now. on the page,
Adam: I think you just scroll over Bradley, but the last call for everybody. Head over there. Just follow the instructions on Facebook get early access to the YouTube and UTM course Bradley’s going to be put together here over the holidays and save a bundle but like they said to if you want to wait a little bit and pay us three times too much more. So okay with that.
Bradley: And let’s go ahead. I was gonna say I actually prefer that. But, you know, I want you guys to save that additional $200 to spend it on your family’s at Christmas. So
Marco: and stop by the mastermind tomorrow. The webinar, because we’re going to show how much we’ve improved the user experience. Want to show how easy it is to find the information now before it was just okay, how do I get through five years of information? Yeah, because we have five years worth of videos in there in the archives, right? So just the latest videos. It’s everything since we started. As I did you get through all that, well, now we made it really simple for you to get through it.
Bradley: That’s been a long time coming. There’s just so much damn content, so much video-based content and long mastermind webinars. It’s been hard to, for people to find stuff and that’s a problem we’ve been dealing with for a long time. And we Marco has been working on it in the background for since I think January of this year, maybe February, but it’s been a long time. And now it’s here. It’s ready. So it’s awesome. It’s a big, big improvement. So, all right, everybody, thanks for being here. We’ll see some of you tomorrow, the rest of you next week. Awesome. Bye, everyone. Bye, everyone.

Actually I’m going on the fifth for Thursday the fifth so looking forward to that although it may be cold it should be fun.
Adam: Nice. Nice. Marco speaking of weather How you doing man?
Marco: Man, I’m starting to get cold down here. You guys are sending your cold it was almost 65 last night. Oh ridiculous. Stop it. Arctic Well, whatever you want whatever you guys are doing up there Stop it. We don’t want it.

Adam: Yeah, let’s do it.
Marco: Black Friday will be on Wednesdays from now on. I just determined that. And to all joking aside, we always say that be and the mastermind has its privileges. Well, I’ve been personally working really hard and incorporating some really not gonna say what it is, but some just some really neat things into the Mastermind to make the user experience to and to make people finding what they’re looking for. To make that way better to improve the experience so that people can come in and find exactly what they’re looking for, where it is, you know, so whatever it is that you’re trying to find, Marco will talk shit about Google on and I can’t remember when Well, it’s not finished, not 100% because there is artificial intelligence involved. And interestingly enough the world is the SEO world is an uproar because of BERT, and we’re actually using BERT in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind so again, mastermind being a member of the Semantic Mastermind does have its privileges because you’re first to get everything that we do business building and ideas and concepts, and all of these different things. Hey, on tomorrow’s mastermind webinar will be talking about BERT and AI and what it is actually, because you see all of these discussions and all of these forums and then all these Facebook groups, and nobody has an I’m not going to drop an F-bomb here. Nobody has an effing clue as to what it is that they’re talking. They don’t know what BERT is. And all you have to do is go into the documentation to see what BERT is and what it does. And you’ll know that it’s absolutely nothing to worry about. Absolutely nothing because of the way that we teach you how to do things in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind.

So, I’m sorry, it seems like it’s a pitch fest for the mastermind. And I should be pitching the hell out of it. Because it’s so good. We get testimonials time and again, of how well our stuff works. And so yeah, we should be here, tooting our own horns and singing our praises and whatever. I’m not going to go into that anymore. Just I’m just letting people know if you’re in the Semantic Mastery <stermind, be there tomorrow and see just how much we have improved the learning experience. Let’s call it
Adam: Amen. got one more to add on to that you guys are now made a post believe on November 4 about big news for Bradley. Bradley is going to be putting together some training, we decided based on the response. There’s still a little bit of time if you want to get down on this, and what it is, is step by step program on how to grow, grow a massive brand using YouTube and GDN, Ads. And, you know, we just want to engage, because we have, especially Bradley didn’t want to be putting in a lot of time and effort doing the training, you know, right leading up into the holidays if people weren’t interested. But so far, we’ve got 71 comments, people interested in early access at a hell of a discount. So I’m going to put the link in if you want to get in on that. Just comment, leave a GIF or a comment on the Facebook thread and we will be in touch with you shortly. We’re going to have some information that information about that going up. Hernan says let me in I think he got booted from the from Hump Day Hangouts.
Bradley: He’s back in
Adam: Alright, well, guys, with that said, we got anything else before we get into questions here.
Bradley: I’ll just give a little update on a couple of things. Number one, we’ve got anybody that joined Local Kingpin, which was the Google Ads training for using search ads for lead generation. That’s going to be an update webinar on Monday. Because the interface has changed so much the principles, the method is still pretty much the same, though. There’s just some slight differences that I’m going to cover. And the interface, Google Ads interface has changed a lot. Plus they’ve got a lot of new or improved features, such as automated bidding strategies and things like that, that I used to suggest never to use, but they’ve gotten so much better over the last year and a half, two years because of AI and it’s so much better. So artificial intelligence. And so we’re going to talk about that slightly plus any questions that anybody has So that’ll be Monday, it’ll be probably only about an hour long. That’s just for me to give an update and answer questions. So if you’re in Local Kingpin, I encourage you to get signed up for that.
Also, the Google Ads course that Adam was just talking about, that I’m going to be starting in two weeks, I think it’s one and I say we’re going to do that. I think Monday, the 25th is going to be the first webinar and that’ll be about 90 minutes, maybe longer if there’s, you know, a lot of Q&A at the end, and then December 9th, and that’s going to be a two-part deal. The first one will be about YouTube ads and how to use that for branding. And for not not not so much lead generation it will produce leads, but it’s not a direct lead generator, it it will but it’s more about branding, and also driving relevant traffic into your digital assets. So your entity essentially. So we’re going to talk about YouTube on the first webinar. And then on the second webinar. Again, that’ll be December 9th. We’re going to talk about using the Google Display Network. So it’s good Google Ads training specifically for YouTube and the Google Display Network for setting up branding campaigns which works incredibly well for both building brand awareness but also for generating relevant targeted traffic from specific audiences from specific geo locations if it’s for local into your entities, your digital assets for a particular brand which is great for SEO. So it’s a way for using Google ads to not only produce relevant traffic but improve brand awareness as well as help the SEO that your any SEO work that you’re doing, because you’re driving relevant, targeted traffic from known audiences and Google to your SEO as your assets that you’ve been doing SEO work on. And that takes care of ART right – relevance, trust, and authority. Google understands that that’s that recognize that traffic is an activity. It’s relevant because it’s from known audiences and specific geolocation if that’s if it’s for local you can target by geolocation, and it’s also trusted, trusted and authority trusted traffic because it’s coming from Google’s known Google’s audience buckets. And essentially, so it’s going to be it’s very, very powerful. I’ve just been crushing it with Google ads for clients over the last several months. And it just works really, really well. And I’ve been using them for my own business as well. And it’s, it’s just a great, great strategy. So that said, it’s, um, it’s going to be a pre, like right now you can get in for like, the pre-training special or whatever, where it’s, it’s a third of what it’s going to be once I’m done recording those webinars, it’s going to be packaged up and sold for probably 300 bucks, or right right, right around there. So if you want to get in for a third of that, I would recommend that you go check out the post that Adam posted, comment on it and then get signed up. Okay. All right.
Marco: So they’re more than welcome to wait and pay us more later. Yeah, that’s fine too. But I would suggest for people not to wait.
Bradley: Alright, so can we get into it? Now,
Adam: let’s do it.
Bradley: All right, we got the screen. Okay, somebody confirm.
Adam: Good to go.
Bradley: Okay, so everybody can see my humping Wednesday meme GIFs alright. Hump Day right, Wednesday.
How Would You Add Relevancy To Your Money Site Using Drive Stacks?
So, Alright, so the first questions are and it’s multiple questions. It’s 13 pages worth of questions from Fred Wilson and Fred. Well, I appreciate your and I really do. I appreciate your questions. That’s a bit much for Hump Day Hangouts. And also, it’s getting a little bit into the weeds for stuff that we would typically only cover in this much depth in mastermind, which I’m sure you’re fully aware of that, as a former mastermind member, or an RYS Academy reloaded specifically since it’s so it pertains to drive stack stuff and kind of deep into the weeds. But with that said, Marco, how much of this do you want to answer?
Marco: I haven’t really re-read the question. So,
Bradley: Yeah. So should I give you about 10 minutes to get through it?
Marco: All right. Do you have a general question that you can add the I’d be more than happy to answer general questions, but if it’s something that’s specific, yeah, that again, membership has its privileges and this things that I’m only answer for paying members and I mean, that that’s just that’s the way it should be. I’m sure that people who have paid three $4,000 for the course would appreciate me keeping the secret sauce in where it belongs.
Bradley: Yeah. And I agree and that, you know, I’ve read through the first two sections of this three-part question this three-section question, and I realized that it’s, it’s a lot more in-depth than what we would typically answer on a free Hump Day hangout because it’s getting into very specific tactics. From RYS reloaded, we would cover it also in the mastermind, I’m sure. But this is not something that we can get that deep into it. That said, I’ll give you kind of a general overview, and I’ll kind of answer it and let you take add to it, Marco, and then we’ll move on to the next one. So Fred, we would welcome you back to the mastermind at any moment.
If we’re going to RYS Reloaded, either one of those would be good places to get this particular question answered. But that said, He’s talking about his food business, his food tour business and talking about how to add additional relevancy. He did some keyword theme research using SEM Rush and looking at some of the competitors and found that there is some other keywords other than just food tour type keywords that can help to add relevancy that are kind of associated with the food tour business, but he hasn’t been targeting them. And so the question is would adding in some of these other types of keyboard themes into the drive stack folders as subfolders within food tour folders, would that help to add relevancy? And because of the association that Google’s is showing? And so I mean, to me, you’ve already answered your question. Yes. You know, if there’s if there’s a way to create that association, that you’re you’ve discovered by doing some additional research, looking at competitors using some tools like sem rush and all of that kind of stuff, then yeah, you can you can add that additional relevancy into your drive stack. And that’s going to certainly help. I don’t know if you want to go further than that. Marco.
Marco: Yeah. Just a little bit, because, I mean, I can answer this generally we go after, especially the way that our keyword research VA is being taught, we go after anything that Google considers relevant. In a keyword, research cake, and we give you guys whoever orders the gig, the deep keyword research, all of that information. We do separate the movie will give you tasks will give you silos will give you information that we feel is where the money makers are, what the relevant keywords are, and maybe something that that that that isn’t a money keyword, but Google still thinks that that is relevant. All of that is necessary because what we do inside the drive stack is create relevantly and push. Right? We create a relevance push from everything that we do from the spider web silo to the way that the drive stack is built to the way that the G site is built to the way the inner pages are done to the way that we mimic what’s on the website. So yes, by all means, I don’t care. We do use SEM Rush for keyword relevance, but that’s not necessarily what will target what we do is we use Jeffrey Smith’s Ultimate SEO Bootcamp training. And we go according to how he teaches what the top-level categories are. Then from there, work down and create the silos there, you will create three silos. But everything that’s relevant should be at it. Remember when Network Empire started talking about color, current stuff, it’s not, it’s not there. But they began talking about it. And they began explaining it more what it was all about, what it means. And really, that’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to create all of this in a self-contained Google environment for the bot to feed on, which is, that’s exactly what we’re doing.
Is It Safe Against Plagiarism To Curate Content With Attribution From Google Snippet?
Bradley: Yeah. And so the next question part of this, which it’s kinda interesting that you asked this, Fred because we covered this, our own our very own data. You know, master link builder, was at our live event, hopefully, live 2019 in Denver, just recently, and he was talking about doing something similar that you’re asking about, which is adding q&a. Questions and Answers into a doc within your Gsite within your drive stack and just linking back to the source but not actually hyperlinking just putting like the text-based link. So you’re providing a citation, but what so you’re citing the source, right? So you’re providing attribution, but you’re not hyperlinking back. I would say that should be okay, provided you’re not copying, you know, if you’re just copying snippets, like what is shown in the Google search results for the q amp a section. So when you search for a question in Google, and it brings up that featured snippet, which is a q amp a box, right, and it’s got the dropdowns, and you click the drop-down, and then it shows a short it shows the full question and then a short answer and a link back to the source where it’s pulling that answer from that question and answer from you can embed that or you know, kind of copy and paste that into a Google doc or something like that. And then still late as long as you’re not expanding by going to the actual destination URL and copying more of the content. It’s just a snippet. So it falls under the same rules of curating content would be on a blog post in that, if you’re just highlighting, you know, reusing republishing a short snippet from somebody else’s content, and then you’re providing attribution citing the source, then it should be okay. Now, some people, some publishers will still make eventually, you know, sometimes they may find it and they may request that you unpublish it. But as far as it being a copyright infringement, as long as it’s just a small snippet, and it’s you’re citing the source, it should, it should never be an issue. Although like I said, out of courtesy, if anybody ever were to contact you and say Please take this down or unpublished this, then you know, I would recommend that you just do it to avoid any sort of, you know, some sort of stupid battle that could ensue. Although again, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it legally because you are citing the source and it falls within a specific brand. Members of the DMC act right there were the digital, whatever Copyright Act. So I would just, you know, encourage you not to go any further than what is shown in the snippets and the featured snippets within Google search.
That said, also, you’re asked about curating a lot of content about a topic putting it inside the drive stack, then putting links to your money site, the correct way to push relevancy for your money site? Again, yes, you can do that. The same thing is by curating content on your money site, you can do that. Right. So think about that. That’s what we’ve taught for years is the best way to generate content before even money site blog posts unless you’re a subject matter expert and you’re creating 100% original content. The problem with that is even as an as a subject matter expert, sometimes you get you run out of ideas. But there are a ton of other subject matter experts. I’m not talking about buying shitty content farm content, I’m talking about locating subject Matter content written by subject matter experts pertaining to your topic, right or your niche your industry, and then republishing, once again snippets of it, and giving credit to where it’s, you know, citing the source giving attribution. And in the case of curating on a blog, your money site blog, you know, we always recommend hyperlinking to the source. And just using nofollow External links, that’s what I’ve always done. Um, but that’s very, very powerful. Because once again, you can create an original article out of using snippets of other people’s content, where you’re just adding commentary and opening paragraph commentary in between pieces of curated content, which doesn’t have to be just articles, it can be videos, infographics, don’t curate images. Please don’t do that. You can. That’s a no-no, but you can curate infographics, videos, mp3, so audio files, you know, other articles, you can curate all that kind of stuff. And it helps because it allows you to be able to produce content very quickly, inexpensively. And you can even train a virtual assistant, somebody that’s not a subject matter expert how to locate good content, and compile it in a logical fashion, and then just add commentary. So in other words, you know, you can come up with a topic for a blog post, find supporting articles or even differing opinion articles, right so that you can do a compare and contrast or pros and cons or argue both sides of a topic in particular curated article if that makes sense. It’s very, very powerful. And it’s a great way to create co-citation, which is similar to co-occurrence in that you’re linking out to other relevant sources. And so again, we talked about all of that in content kingpin, it’s a training course that is still 100% relevant today. I still use that for all of my clients, that same exact method for curating content for all of my clients. You can apply that to drive stack stuff to you’re still going to build that relevancy, topical relevancy. Just make sure you’re Giving attribution even if you’re not hyperlinking to it, I recommend you absolutely always give credit where credit is due. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: No, I totally agree. It’s a matter of mirroring right? Everything that you would do on the money site you do on the drive stack and Gsite, including curating content. That’s right.
How Do You Add A Schema Markup To A Local Business Press Release?
Okay, cool. Well, the next question is from Kaydee. Hi, guys. How do you add schema markup to press releases for a local business? Press advantage sent an email with a link to Google structured data markup helper tool to create the code but on the page, it is asking to select a data type and then paste your URL of the page you wish to mark up. What URL do we enter here? I don’t know. Because I don’t use that tool. I’m going to point out another one here for you in a moment. The press release is not yet published. So it has no URL to target the markup and the data type is to tick in and the data type to tick is a local business. Thanks to know and here’s why. Because if you’re if you have your own press advantage account, or even if you Buy him through MGYB. And we set up an organization page or you set it up through your own account, right? So you set up an organization page, that’s where you should have your local business markup. If it’s, you know, an organization page for local business, you should have your local business structured data markup in the organization page, right, which will get added to all of the press releases that get pushed out. And some may not all, but many of the publisher sites that were they get published to will actually pick up that JSON LD code for local business markup. Okay, so you add that to your organization page. However, I’ve got a press advantage open here. Let’s see if it hopefully it brings me into the same standby I’m gonna have to pause my screen for a moment because of it my plugin that reset my browser that Marco pointed out, a reset my reset the tab, so give me one second while I get what you’re looking for.
Marco: Let me just tell people That if your press release gets published and you go and look at some of the websites were able to publish, and you don’t see the schema markup, but you don’t see an iframe that you send out or whatever, that’s not on us. It’s not even on press advantage. It’s actually on that website, not wanting, you know, stripping out all of the code. But what we want anyway, is we want to get that in as many places as we can. And that’s why I go it goes out to the entire publication network, but not every website will publish whatever it is that you submitted, just did just to make it clear to everyone because we do get support tickets about that. And it’s like, yeah, there’s nothing that we could do.
Bradley: Yeah, so to show you what I’m talking about. First of all, if we go to press advantage for the organization, which I should I forgot I got my ID page looped into this is going to break the browser. Let me see if I can get to Page Source before it shuts everything down. Um, Alright, so let’s see if it’ll pull this up. It might not. Okay, there we go. So if we scroll down, we’ll see right here is my local business structure data markup starting right here. From here to there. That’s my local business structure data markup, that’s part of the organization page. Right. And so again, as Marco just mentioned, some sites when we publish when it distributes the press releases, it has this codependent to it. You know, it started with it with the press release, but some sites will pick it up and publish that JSON LD code as well. What I think you’re talking about is for individual press releases, so here I am inside the dashboard. If you scroll down now there’s a section says enter JSON LD schema, this will be attached to the release in addition to any organization-specific schema. So that’s what I was talking about before. If it’s a local business, you want it which is what I was showing here. You want to have local business structure data markup on the page, right that their organization page, but then For the individual, a press release, excuse me, you can add additional schema markup here. So what I would recommend here and you know you can do other stuff too depends on what you’re having published. But what I would recommend is going to and this is a tool that I use most of the time, we’re going to have one in MGYB here shortly, I’m not sure if it’s available yet. But this is the one that I’ve been using for quite some time.
If you just go to Google and search for schema markup generator, look for technicalSEO.com or just go to technicalSEO.com and look for the schema markup generator, which is over here in the left sidebar. There’s different types of schema markups that this tool will generate different types of schema. And so the very first one is article click on the article and then when you look down here, when it loads this page, you come down here to Article type, and there’s actually one for news article. So select news article, and then just fill out these fields. And here’s your schema code over here on the right-hand sidebar. Once you’ve completed all these fields, Then you just copy that and paste that into Press Advantage over here. Now again, there are other types of schema that can be generated. So it depends on what the article is going to be about. But just doing news article schema markup is very, very powerful, right to add to each individual press release. Okay, so that’s what I would recommend. There are other tools out there that will generate this stuff to guys, this is just the one that I typically use. Okay. There’s a good question. Now, by the way, that said, I gotta tease this a little bit. I’m inside my blog for that same company, I was just sharing my real estate business. And this we’ve got coming soon. We’ve got some pretty cool stuff coming up. And like the plugin will generate this Jeffrey Smith plugin, but it’s the pro version, which isn’t released yet, but it’s coming soon. And it’s got all the schema markup generator right inside WordPress for all every different type of schema, you can think of. It’s fabulous. And so that same type that same article markup right there, if we come down here, there’s an article type, blog posting or news article. And then I can just fill out all this stuff. It creates the code right down here and embeds it into the header of this particular blog post. And I can click update, and boom, that’s going to have the same type of Article markup that we were just sharing. Pretty powerful stuff. So be on the lookout for that guys soon, early next year. That was a good tease. Right, guys?
Marco: Perfect.
Can You Embed The Website Pages In The GSite When Mirroring?
All right. Next one is Simon. He says We’re marrying the main website to the G site. Can you just embed the website pages on the site pages? Or is it necessary to copy and paste the content for each website page on to the G site pages, I just use the embeds. I’m lazy like that, right. I work on the money site pages. That’s what I flush out with good content. And I mirror them onto the site. And then I just and I do some other really cool stuff. We’ve been talking about how I do silos now. locations. So there’s topical silos and in location-based silos, but I do it in a very unique way. And it works really well, especially when you use a G site. And yeah, all I do is grab the embed or create an iframe out of the money site pages, and embed them into the G site page, then I optimize the title of the G site page, obviously. And then, you know, you can mirror that into a folder inside of your folder and files inside of your drive stack. And then just smash that shit with embeds and or links, or both. And it works really, really well hit ever remember, that’s your SEO shield. So we do everything externally to the SEO shield, right? So that would be the G site the drive stack and all of the tier one entity assets, which by the way, you can actually take those iframe into your syndication network properties to guys think about that. So right, there’s no reason you can’t push those embeds through to your syndication network properties too. good question though,
Does Proper Schema Markup Feed The Bot Enough And Not To Worry About Creating Long Articles?
Paul Thompson says, Does proper schema markup feed the bot enough that we don’t need to worry about creating long articles on the pages we want to rank? No, but it does. It does definitely help a lot. Marco is probably going to be better at answering this one than me. I would still for money sites stuff still flesh out the pages, but adding structured data, like what I just showed with my blog, where you were, you know, again, you can add it manually now like right now, since the pro plugins not available, this there might be other plugins out there that do it, but I don’t know if they provide the schema code that’s 100% up to date. I know that a lot of times they’re not updated enough. I’m not speaking badly about anybody else’s plugin. I just haven’t used them. But you can have like a code insert or plugin right so like. SoGo ad scripts header, footer and things like that header, footer type script plugins where you can add scripts into the head section or foot section or body section of any individual page or post, and you can go use schema creators like what I just shared, and create schema markup and and then put them into each one of your posts or pages or whatever, so that you’re adding additional, you know, schema structured data that the bots love and I mean, that’s guys, you’re you’ll you’ll have an edge over a lot of your competitors if you do that kind of stuff. But I would still recommend that for money site stuff, you flush the content, the content of the page out to. Marco, what say you
Marco: Yeah, I mean that absolutely. Two things right. structured and unstructured data structured data is for the bot feed the bot as much as you can, which is exactly what we do. And why we use drive stacks and Gsites and iframe and everything that the entities entity stack, and everything else that we don’t I mean that it there’s a method to our madness. Now, if you then go and you send a person to a page. And now we’re talking about people, we’re not talking about bots, because what’s going to happen is you’re going to rank. And that’s going to bring your traffic onto the page. And if there’s nothing on that page to engage the person, then we no longer care about the but now we care about that person coming to the website and converting, finishing the action that they were set out to do, because if that person comes on the website and bounces, then you did you defeated the entire purpose of creating the all of the stacking that we created in the first place, which was to get that person onto the page that would convert them over an image is going to convert them of an image is going to get them to push and call whatever it is that you need to be done. To finish that, that then that’s what’s going to matter. So, two different things. If you need the content to rank you have to look at the competition. If you can rank or outrank the competition without 2000 or 3000 words of content, By all means, nobody, and nobody’s going to sit there and go through the 3000 words of content on this is a really interested in whatever it is that you have to say. what you’re interested in, is that conversion, because that’s what centers everything at the end. And that’s what Google is going to look at from beginning to end is whether that task and that goal. Well, whether it was accomplished.
How Do You Setup A GMB Page For A Business That Operates In Multiple States?
Awesome, thanks, Marco. So the next question was from jack, I’m not the next question is my client is based out of Texas but operates in five other states fully across the states not limited to anyone Metro region. What’s the best way to set up the company GMB page, so reviews for one state aggregate under the main company as well. Or if that’s not possible, what would be the best way to go about setting up the GMB either individually and each state Or globally under some other configuration? Well, remember Google My Business is supposed to be especially now there’s another question I see on the page here a little bit lower about what happened on November 8. And from my understanding, which I’ve only done very, I’ve only kind of read through some comments and stuff, is that it was more it was basically an update to the maps algorithm for GMB stuff. And it’s gone even more proximity-based. So they’ve Google’s tightened the proximity filter, so to speak. And so with that said, Google, my business is supposed to be for local businesses, right? I mean, we’ve talked about setting up GMBs and you know, setting your service area, the United States, for example, and that’s okay, but it’s not it’s okay for like the entity but it’s not going to help you to rank anywhere in the United States and maps. That said, you’re also in this case, you’re talking about five different states. They’re located in Texas but they operate in five other states. So you potentially you could have if you have an office and in each of their other states, you could have GMB for each office location. It’s not necessary but you can. That said if you wanted to get reviews and let’s just say Arizona, I’m just assuming let’s just say that that’s one of the states that you operate in. If you get reviews in Arizona, but you want them to populate on the Texas GMB if that’s the way you have it set up. It’s not you can’t do that. If you had a gym be in Arizona, I mean, if all you have is the one Google My Business location in Texas, then it doesn’t matter where you get the reviews from. They’re all going to aggregate on that one and only Google My Business location. My point that I’m trying to make is you cannot get GMB reviews in one location and have them also populate onto another GMB location. You can’t do that. It because each GMB entity or location is supposed to be it’s own and collect its own or, you know, aggregate its own reviews. So that said, You know, I would, I would consider what it is you’re trying to do. As far as if you have multiple GMBs, which I’m not sure that you do, but if you do, then what I would recommend you do is set up use some sort of review directing app. I know for contractors, one of the ones that work really well as birdeye.com. I think another one might be Podium, I’ve not used that. But what are some of my contractor clients use Bird Eye, and that works well, but it’s like a review gate, right? So it would be an app where you send out to customers, or clients or whatever the company or the business sends out to customers and ask for some listen to review or at ask for a review. And then somebody leaves a review and it directs the app can direct where the review gets published to if that makes sense. So you have more control over it that way and if it’s you know, below three stars, then it can be not posted as a review. Instead, it could be brought to, you know, sent to the customer service team so that they can reach out and try to resolve potential issues, that kind of stuff, I would look into something like that if you’re trying to have more control over where your reviews are coming from and where they’re going to be posted to. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: Yeah, I’m just guessing that his client and whatever it is that they’re doing that it triggers a three-pack, right? It triggers a map pack and it triggers map rankings if that’s the case. Then get a map wherein each one of the places where where your client operate, and associate everything to the main entity, that’s how Texas so then the AI which is sophisticated enough to then understand once you begin associating all of these to understand that it’s all part of the same company with it’s a company that operates out of Texas but has regional offices in five other states. So that if you do get a review, for example, in Texas for the company in another state, it could be taken into consideration. I’m not saying that the AI is that sophisticated, but it could mean at some point it will be, it will be able to understand all of these different relationships and put everything together. And if you do a really good job in your structured data of putting all of this together for the buck, then you won’t even have to leave it to the bot to guess and try to understand what this is all about. You can tell it you can go with everything in JSON LD to tell about what this is all about. Having done that, then you don’t have to worry about reviewing everything, or aggregating everything under the main company, it will all be taken together because everything is associated if you’ve done your job correctly. Now, if it’s globally that we’re not worrying about maps, and then the reviews wouldn’t even come into play, unless you have unless you can trigger a knowledge And that’s a totally different story.
Bradley: Yeah, and if that’s the case, if it was globally then I would just have all reviews going to the one GMB asset, wherever the primary location is, because then all you’re trying to do is build the brand, not individual locations, right?
What Are Your Insights On The Reported Traffic Drop Last November 8, 2019?
So Ross says, Hey, everyone, and then he’s got the follow-up question below, which I’ll just that’s what and now come back to Joey’s question where he says Ross is new here. What the hell happened on November 8, lots of traffic drops and the insight and that’s what I was just talking about, as far as I know. I’m sure Marco’s got more insight on this than I do. Because I don’t geek out about this stuff anymore. If I don’t see major drops in my stuff, I don’t worry about it. So but apparently the what it from what I understand it was another maps update where it looks like they tightened the proximity filter to where it’s it’s even narrower now. Is that correct? Marco?
Marco: That’s absolutely correct. They tighten up on the proximity. And proximity is a ranking factor, it’s we can literally call it the most important ranking factor, although you can still overcome. That’s why we don’t usually see all of these changes in the things that we do. Because you can overcome anything, any part of the algorithm, you can overcome it. And people are saying that well don’t use brute force. Don’t do this. Don’t do that. You can totally overcome anything through what they call it in the Rocky movie, good old fashioned blunt force trauma. And that’s just feeding the but just a whole lot of related information, wherever it is that you that you’re trying to expand to. So even though even if the proximity factor is the main ranking factor, there are other ranking factors that can and do come into play, if you can overcome that one factor. So is that something to just totally say, Oh my god, now I have to go get a DMB in eternity. City, not only in the area where I am but in the surrounding areas, it’s being able to overcome that proximity factor. And we do it and we do a really good job of teaching that in local GSB Pro. And now, you know being at the location and being able to upload images and being able to show Google that you’re actually there and that everything is actually from that location has become more important than ever.
Bradley: Yes, very good.
Does The Size Of Embeds Matter?
So let’s jump back to Joey’s question. It says hi, does the size of embeds matter? In other words, embedding a 10 by 10 GMB site is still the equivalent of embedding a 600 by 300. So the frame could be one by 110 by 10 or 600 by 300. And you still pass the juice Thank you. I’m size doesn’t matter. Only because if you have it too small, then that could be considered cloaking. Am I correct in that statement?
Marco: Yeah, yeah, you could, you could be tagged For cloaking, although it’s really hard if I mean if you do it right there no word. Most people can’t do it right, which is why we don’t even teach it.
Bradley: Yeah. I mean, technically Yes, you can still pass the SEO with the iframe present even if it’s a one by one pixel.
Marco: Even if it’s a zero by zero
Bradley: Yeah, it technically you can absolutely do that. I wouldn’t recommend it if you know, because if anybody manually reviews it and saw it, then they could, you know, they could flag you for manual action. So
Marco: that would be the biggest problem right with someone coming in and actually, you triggering, First of all, triggering enough red flags to trigger a manual review so that someone from Google would actually come to your website because nobody trusts you’re not making enough money now. Nobody. Most people are making enough money to worry about Google to have someone waste all of their valuable resources on looking at your fucking website in the first place. If you do get that big or if just if you just happen to get unlucky enough to trigger a manual, and they come and see that zero by zero thing, yes, that is cloaking. There’s no reason for you to have a zero by zero iframe one by one unless it’s a pixel, right? Facebook, Google, whatever, if it’s unless it’s tracking code. So they come in and look and they see code and it looks fishy. You’re more likely to get hit with a manual and probably deindex, because I’ve seen cloaking get hit really, really hard.
Bradley: Yeah, agreed. Okay, so we’ll say, Hey, Marco, have you announced the date of the four webinars for Bert? I guess that’s for the charity stuff.
Marco: Yeah, no, I’m still working on that. It’s not only BERT, but I’m also going to go into entities and AI and NLP and what it actually is what it isn’t. We’re gonna we’re going to discuss and talk about everything that that other People just either refused to talk about, or they don’t know enough about it to be able to discuss it. As soon as I have it already, I’m going to announce it. I’m going to announce the date I’m going to give you the donation page. And remember this all goes to a really good cause it’s getting kids who would otherwise not be able to get an education getting them into school, so that they can get a good education get trained to get jobs and, you know, have a chance at life.
Bradley: Very cool. Alright, the next one, Fred says I was worried that that might be a problem. So that’s because I was kind of tongue in cheek picking. That is a huge, long question. He says, thanks so much for answering my 13 pages of questions. It helped a lot. Thanks, guys. You’re welcome, Fred.
What Is The Difference Between Q&A and FAQ?
Fit. So what’s up? 50 says what is the difference between Q&A and FAQ? Well, it’s, it’s kind of the same thing or it’s very closely related. Q&A is most of the time would like You can see in the SERPs is what I was talking about earlier. But FAQs that can be a little bit more specific to an individual like a business. Right? So I mean, they’re kind of basically the same. As far as schema markup, it’s the same. But what I mean the difference is frequently asked questions are should be answered by a client or business, right? Like, what is the questions that they get? asked the most by prospects and or customers or clients? Right? And they should have answers to that. But when it comes to q amp, a, what I’m what these, the way that I look at it is when you go to Google and you search for question, you’ll see related questions that get asked enough that somebody took the time to create content around answering that question, and then marking it up correctly on their website so that they could get added to the featured snippets in Google search. So it stands to reason that that question gets asked enough. It might be a frequently asked question for another business that maybe your particular client or business doesn’t get asked that much, but it’s still relevant. That makes sense. So they’re very closely related, but there is a slight difference, at least in my opinion.
Marco: Yeah, the difference is that that Q&A, people should be able to either ask questions or answer questions on the website, if they’re not able, if they’re your frequently asked questions and your answers are there’s no way for users to engage with that. Then it’s FAQ frequently asked questions. Q&A, again, is on a website where people can go in and interact with the questions and the answer. Yeah.
Bradley: Yeah, guys, it you know, I’ve talked about this probably in Syndication Academy. And I’ll probably I’ll just give this give another nugget away here because it works really well. And we’re almost out of time. So anyway, those Q&A questions that you can curate, right from Google and the beautiful thing about it is if you type in a question about product service in an industry whatever the questions box comes up now what the drop-downs each time you click on a drop-down, it brings up like three or four more questions. So like you can just keep drilling down into those guys and that gives you almost unlimited content. Like, Think about it. It’s a content hack, right, you can grab a question and an answer from those Question and Answer boxes that Google provides you and use that in GMB posts for example, right, just cite the source just like I was talking about earlier is the in the Q&A box right that the dropdown. as it expands, it gives you the snippet with the answer at least a partial answer. It might not be the full answer, but it gives a snippet and then it has the link to read more. Well, you can still use that link in the GMB post too so you give proper credit to where it’s due. That’s a nofollow link and a GMB post the button link right, and a GMB post. So the button URL, the URL that you attach to the call to action button. That is a dofollow link, although I here in just the past few days probably since November 8. Some of those are nofollow. And I think it’s just because Google is still tinkering around in there. But those are dofollow links. So you can still link back to the answer, have a QA, write a question and answer that you curate it you basically are republishing from Google’s own search results, to add relevancy to the GMB. You can do this on your money site too and link back to the source which is only proper and right. But then use the button URL in the GMB post the link back to your money site, right to your page that also is about that very topic or question and answer right so you again, you’re it’s creating co-citation. It’s creating topical relevancy, and you don’t even have to come up with the content. You can even go through and curate groups of questions like question and then create blog posts out of those on your money site where once again, you’re publishing the question plus the answer. You can create a table of contents at the top of the page Marco stop me from getting too deep here. But with a table of contents with jump links, anchor links, right that jump down to each section that has a different question. It has the answer that links back out to the source, right, but it’s a nofollow link on the blog post. And then just like a curated post, you can inject some commentary in between that stuff, with an opening paragraph and a closing paragraph with a call to action to contact your business or your company, your client that you’re doing the work for, for help or services with that, you know, for products or services that solve those problems, those questions that make sense.
So again, guys, it’s a great strategy to use those questions as a farm those questions right mine those questions, harvest those questions or whatever you want to say from one of those from this q&a panels that pop up in the Google search results and drill down into them. You can get gold topic ideas, blog post ideas GMB post ideas from that kind of stuff.
Which Of Your Courses In Which You Teach About Making ID Pages and Mirror Gsites?
So, Alright, the last question is oh Austin Don says, which of your courses do you teach about making it pages and mirror g sites? Well the mastermind, RYS reloaded local GMB Pro, any one of those three the mastermind local GMB Pro or RYS reloaded what it was, it’s covered in all three of those locations. So, am I missing any here guys?
Marco: I don’t think you did. Okay.
Bradley: Adam, you want to chime in? All right, last is not really a question. It’s just a comment and then we’re going to wrap it up, guys. I’ve got a TV repairman showing up in about five minutes. Anyways, I asked the question about GMBs and review in one location versus all the states that clients the Klein operates and this was that question about Texas and five additional states. We answered previously he says no follow up question. I just wanted to say thank you for answering it and you knocked it out of the park. I’ve wrestled with this in my head for a week and you made it clear as day thanks again, guys for all that you do. You’re very welcome. That’s what this venue is for. Anything else guys?
Marco: No, not unless another question popped up now. on the page,
Adam: I think you just scroll over Bradley, but the last call for everybody. Head over there. Just follow the instructions on Facebook get early access to the YouTube and UTM course Bradley’s going to be put together here over the holidays and save a bundle but like they said to if you want to wait a little bit and pay us three times too much more. So okay with that.
Bradley: And let’s go ahead. I was gonna say I actually prefer that. But, you know, I want you guys to save that additional $200 to spend it on your family’s at Christmas. So
Marco: and stop by the mastermind tomorrow. The webinar, because we’re going to show how much we’ve improved the user experience. Want to show how easy it is to find the information now before it was just okay, how do I get through five years of information? Yeah, because we have five years worth of videos in there in the archives, right? So just the latest videos. It’s everything since we started. As I did you get through all that, well, now we made it really simple for you to get through it.
Bradley: That’s been a long time coming. There’s just so much damn content, so much video-based content and long mastermind webinars. It’s been hard to, for people to find stuff and that’s a problem we’ve been dealing with for a long time. And we Marco has been working on it in the background for since I think January of this year, maybe February, but it’s been a long time. And now it’s here. It’s ready. So it’s awesome. It’s a big, big improvement. So, all right, everybody, thanks for being here. We’ll see some of you tomorrow, the rest of you next week. Awesome. Bye, everyone. Bye, everyone.

Chris: Quick question, Adam.
Adam: what’s that?
Chris: Are you guys celebrating 11th of November as well?
Adam: Um, no, is that a thing?
Chris: I didn’t know. Like, I noticed there was were all kinds of like online sales on the 11th of November. So I was actually quite surprised.
Adam: 11 11 maybe just like making use of the numbers. You know, right. Fair enough. Well, I missed out on that since
Bradley: it’s just like every year, people start putting their Christmas trees and decorations up and the station started playing Christmas music earlier on earlier every fucking year. So I imagine Black Friday starts getting earlier on early every year now to so jet rise.

Marco: I have two public service announcements. Adams Sorry to interrupt.
Adam: Yeah, let’s do it.
Marco: Black Friday will be on Wednesdays from now on. I just determined that. And to all joking aside, we always say that be and the mastermind has its privileges. Well, I’ve been personally working really hard and incorporating some really not gonna say what it is, but some just some really neat things into the Mastermind to make the user experience to and to make people finding what they’re looking for. To make that way better to improve the experience so that people can come in and find exactly what they’re looking for, where it is, you know, so whatever it is that you’re trying to find, Marco will talk shit about Google on and I can’t remember when Well, it’s not finished, not 100% because there is artificial intelligence involved. And interestingly enough the world is the SEO world is an uproar because of BERT, and we’re actually using BERT in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind so again, mastermind being a member of the Semantic Mastermind does have its privileges because you’re first to get everything that we do business building and ideas and concepts, and all of these different things. Hey, on tomorrow’s mastermind webinar will be talking about BERT and AI and what it is actually, because you see all of these discussions and all of these forums and then all these Facebook groups, and nobody has an I’m not going to drop an F-bomb here. Nobody has an effing clue as to what it is that they’re talking. They don’t know what BERT is. And all you have to do is go into the documentation to see what BERT is and what it does. And you’ll know that it’s absolutely nothing to worry about. Absolutely nothing because of the way that we teach you how to do things in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind. So not only does it have its privileges in that we give you cutting it and anything that we can do to make your Your life easier to enter to make, whether its clients whether tank, whatever it is, it’s there and we give it to people but it’s also we try to make your life easier. We try to do all of these different things. Because you’re a member of the Semantic Mastery Mastermind. It’s included in the membership fee, nobody will have to pay extra for all the work that went into the back end of the mastermind to make things so much better. So, I’m sorry, it seems like it’s a pitch fest for the mastermind. And I should be pitching the hell out of it. Because it’s so good. We get testimonials time and again, of how well our stuff works. And so yeah, we should be here, tooting our own horns and singing our praises and whatever. I’m not going to go into that anymore. Just I’m just letting people know if you’re in the Semantic Mastery <stermind, be there tomorrow and see just how much we have improved the learning experience. Let’s call it
Adam: Amen. got one more to add on to that you guys are now made a post believe on November 4 about big news for Bradley. Bradley is going to be putting together some training, we decided based on the response. There’s still a little bit of time if you want to get down on this, and what it is, is step by step program on how to grow, grow a massive brand using YouTube and GDN, Ads. And, you know, we just want to engage, because we have, especially Bradley didn’t want to be putting in a lot of time and effort doing the training, you know, right leading up into the holidays if people weren’t interested. But so far, we’ve got 71 comments, people interested in early access at a hell of a discount. So I’m going to put the link in if you want to get in on that. Just comment, leave a GIF or a comment on the Facebook thread and we will be in touch with you shortly. We’re going to have some information that information about that going up. Hernan says let me in I think he got booted from the from Hump Day Hangouts.
Bradley: He’s back in
Adam: Alright, well, guys, with that said, we got anything else before we get into questions here.
Bradley: I’ll just give a little update on a couple of things. Number one, we’ve got anybody that joined Local Kingpin, which was the Google Ads training for using search ads for lead generation. That’s going to be an update webinar on Monday. Because the interface has changed so much the principles, the method is still pretty much the same, though. There’s just some slight differences that I’m going to cover. And the interface, Google Ads interface has changed a lot. Plus they’ve got a lot of new or improved features, such as automated bidding strategies and things like that, that I used to suggest never to use, but they’ve gotten so much better over the last year and a half, two years because of AI and it’s so much better. So artificial intelligence. And so we’re going to talk about that slightly plus any questions that anybody has So that’ll be Monday, it’ll be probably only about an hour long. That’s just for me to give an update and answer questions. So if you’re in Local Kingpin, I encourage you to get signed up for that.
Also, the Google Ads course that Adam was just talking about, that I’m going to be starting in two weeks, I think it’s one and I say we’re going to do that. I think Monday, the 25th is going to be the first webinar and that’ll be about 90 minutes, maybe longer if there’s, you know, a lot of Q&A at the end, and then December 9th, and that’s going to be a two-part deal. The first one will be about YouTube ads and how to use that for branding. And for not not not so much lead generation it will produce leads, but it’s not a direct lead generator, it it will but it’s more about branding, and also driving relevant traffic into your digital assets. So your entity essentially. So we’re going to talk about YouTube on the first webinar. And then on the second webinar. Again, that’ll be December 9th. We’re going to talk about using the Google Display Network. So it’s good Google Ads training specifically for YouTube and the Google Display Network for setting up branding campaigns which works incredibly well for both building brand awareness but also for generating relevant targeted traffic from specific audiences from specific geo locations if it’s for local into your entities, your digital assets for a particular brand which is great for SEO. So it’s a way for using Google ads to not only produce relevant traffic but improve brand awareness as well as help the SEO that your any SEO work that you’re doing, because you’re driving relevant, targeted traffic from known audiences and Google to your SEO as your assets that you’ve been doing SEO work on. And that takes care of ART right – relevance, trust, and authority. Google understands that that’s that recognize that traffic is an activity. It’s relevant because it’s from known audiences and specific geolocation if that’s if it’s for local you can target by geolocation, and it’s also trusted, trusted and authority trusted traffic because it’s coming from Google’s known Google’s audience buckets. And essentially, so it’s going to be it’s very, very powerful. I’ve just been crushing it with Google ads for clients over the last several months. And it just works really, really well. And I’ve been using them for my own business as well. And it’s, it’s just a great, great strategy. So that said, it’s, um, it’s going to be a pre, like right now you can get in for like, the pre-training special or whatever, where it’s, it’s a third of what it’s going to be once I’m done recording those webinars, it’s going to be packaged up and sold for probably 300 bucks, or right right, right around there. So if you want to get in for a third of that, I would recommend that you go check out the post that Adam posted, comment on it and then get signed up. Okay. All right.
Marco: So they’re more than welcome to wait and pay us more later. Yeah, that’s fine too. But I would suggest for people not to wait.
Bradley: Alright, so can we get into it? Now,
Adam: let’s do it.
Bradley: All right, we got the screen. Okay, somebody confirm.
Adam: Good to go.
Bradley: Okay, so everybody can see my humping Wednesday meme GIFs alright. Hump Day right, Wednesday.
How Would You Add Relevancy To Your Money Site Using Drive Stacks?
So, Alright, so the first questions are and it’s multiple questions. It’s 13 pages worth of questions from Fred Wilson and Fred. Well, I appreciate your and I really do. I appreciate your questions. That’s a bit much for Hump Day Hangouts. And also, it’s getting a little bit into the weeds for stuff that we would typically only cover in this much depth in mastermind, which I’m sure you’re fully aware of that, as a former mastermind member, or an RYS Academy reloaded specifically since it’s so it pertains to drive stack stuff and kind of deep into the weeds. But with that said, Marco, how much of this do you want to answer?
Marco: I haven’t really re-read the question. So,
Bradley: Yeah. So should I give you about 10 minutes to get through it?
Marco: All right. Do you have a general question that you can add the I’d be more than happy to answer general questions, but if it’s something that’s specific, yeah, that again, membership has its privileges and this things that I’m only answer for paying members and I mean, that that’s just that’s the way it should be. I’m sure that people who have paid three $4,000 for the course would appreciate me keeping the secret sauce in where it belongs.
Bradley: Yeah. And I agree and that, you know, I’ve read through the first two sections of this three-part question this three-section question, and I realized that it’s, it’s a lot more in-depth than what we would typically answer on a free Hump Day hangout because it’s getting into very specific tactics. From RYS reloaded, we would cover it also in the mastermind, I’m sure. But this is not something that we can get that deep into it. That said, I’ll give you kind of a general overview, and I’ll kind of answer it and let you take add to it, Marco, and then we’ll move on to the next one. So Fred, we would welcome you back to the mastermind at any moment.
If we’re going to RYS Reloaded, either one of those would be good places to get this particular question answered. But that said, He’s talking about his food business, his food tour business and talking about how to add additional relevancy. He did some keyword theme research using SEM Rush and looking at some of the competitors and found that there is some other keywords other than just food tour type keywords that can help to add relevancy that are kind of associated with the food tour business, but he hasn’t been targeting them. And so the question is would adding in some of these other types of keyboard themes into the drive stack folders as subfolders within food tour folders, would that help to add relevancy? And because of the association that Google’s is showing? And so I mean, to me, you’ve already answered your question. Yes. You know, if there’s if there’s a way to create that association, that you’re you’ve discovered by doing some additional research, looking at competitors using some tools like sem rush and all of that kind of stuff, then yeah, you can you can add that additional relevancy into your drive stack. And that’s going to certainly help. I don’t know if you want to go further than that. Marco.
Marco: Yeah. Just a little bit, because, I mean, I can answer this generally we go after, especially the way that our keyword research VA is being taught, we go after anything that Google considers relevant. In a keyword, research cake, and we give you guys whoever orders the gig, the deep keyword research, all of that information. We do separate the movie will give you tasks will give you silos will give you information that we feel is where the money makers are, what the relevant keywords are, and maybe something that that that that isn’t a money keyword, but Google still thinks that that is relevant. All of that is necessary because what we do inside the drive stack is create relevantly and push. Right? We create a relevance push from everything that we do from the spider web silo to the way that the drive stack is built to the way that the G site is built to the way the inner pages are done to the way that we mimic what’s on the website. So yes, by all means, I don’t care. We do use SEM Rush for keyword relevance, but that’s not necessarily what will target what we do is we use Jeffrey Smith’s Ultimate SEO Bootcamp training. And we go according to how he teaches what the top-level categories are. Then from there, work down and create the silos there, you will create three silos. But everything that’s relevant should be at it. Remember when Network Empire started talking about color, current stuff, it’s not, it’s not there. But they began talking about it. And they began explaining it more what it was all about, what it means. And really, that’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to create all of this in a self-contained Google environment for the bot to feed on, which is, that’s exactly what we’re doing.
Is It Safe Against Plagiarism To Curate Content With Attribution From Google Snippet?
Bradley: Yeah. And so the next question part of this, which it’s kinda interesting that you asked this, Fred because we covered this, our own our very own data. You know, master link builder, was at our live event, hopefully, live 2019 in Denver, just recently, and he was talking about doing something similar that you’re asking about, which is adding q&a. Questions and Answers into a doc within your Gsite within your drive stack and just linking back to the source but not actually hyperlinking just putting like the text-based link. So you’re providing a citation, but what so you’re citing the source, right? So you’re providing attribution, but you’re not hyperlinking back. I would say that should be okay, provided you’re not copying, you know, if you’re just copying snippets, like what is shown in the Google search results for the q amp a section. So when you search for a question in Google, and it brings up that featured snippet, which is a q amp a box, right, and it’s got the dropdowns, and you click the drop-down, and then it shows a short it shows the full question and then a short answer and a link back to the source where it’s pulling that answer from that question and answer from you can embed that or you know, kind of copy and paste that into a Google doc or something like that. And then still late as long as you’re not expanding by going to the actual destination URL and copying more of the content. It’s just a snippet. So it falls under the same rules of curating content would be on a blog post in that, if you’re just highlighting, you know, reusing republishing a short snippet from somebody else’s content, and then you’re providing attribution citing the source, then it should be okay. Now, some people, some publishers will still make eventually, you know, sometimes they may find it and they may request that you unpublish it. But as far as it being a copyright infringement, as long as it’s just a small snippet, and it’s you’re citing the source, it should, it should never be an issue. Although like I said, out of courtesy, if anybody ever were to contact you and say Please take this down or unpublished this, then you know, I would recommend that you just do it to avoid any sort of, you know, some sort of stupid battle that could ensue. Although again, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it legally because you are citing the source and it falls within a specific brand. Members of the DMC act right there were the digital, whatever Copyright Act. So I would just, you know, encourage you not to go any further than what is shown in the snippets and the featured snippets within Google search.
That said, also, you’re asked about curating a lot of content about a topic putting it inside the drive stack, then putting links to your money site, the correct way to push relevancy for your money site? Again, yes, you can do that. The same thing is by curating content on your money site, you can do that. Right. So think about that. That’s what we’ve taught for years is the best way to generate content before even money site blog posts unless you’re a subject matter expert and you’re creating 100% original content. The problem with that is even as an as a subject matter expert, sometimes you get you run out of ideas. But there are a ton of other subject matter experts. I’m not talking about buying shitty content farm content, I’m talking about locating subject Matter content written by subject matter experts pertaining to your topic, right or your niche your industry, and then republishing, once again snippets of it, and giving credit to where it’s, you know, citing the source giving attribution. And in the case of curating on a blog, your money site blog, you know, we always recommend hyperlinking to the source. And just using nofollow External links, that’s what I’ve always done. Um, but that’s very, very powerful. Because once again, you can create an original article out of using snippets of other people’s content, where you’re just adding commentary and opening paragraph commentary in between pieces of curated content, which doesn’t have to be just articles, it can be videos, infographics, don’t curate images. Please don’t do that. You can. That’s a no-no, but you can curate infographics, videos, mp3, so audio files, you know, other articles, you can curate all that kind of stuff. And it helps because it allows you to be able to produce content very quickly, inexpensively. And you can even train a virtual assistant, somebody that’s not a subject matter expert how to locate good content, and compile it in a logical fashion, and then just add commentary. So in other words, you know, you can come up with a topic for a blog post, find supporting articles or even differing opinion articles, right so that you can do a compare and contrast or pros and cons or argue both sides of a topic in particular curated article if that makes sense. It’s very, very powerful. And it’s a great way to create co-citation, which is similar to co-occurrence in that you’re linking out to other relevant sources. And so again, we talked about all of that in content kingpin, it’s a training course that is still 100% relevant today. I still use that for all of my clients, that same exact method for curating content for all of my clients. You can apply that to drive stack stuff to you’re still going to build that relevancy, topical relevancy. Just make sure you’re Giving attribution even if you’re not hyperlinking to it, I recommend you absolutely always give credit where credit is due. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: No, I totally agree. It’s a matter of mirroring right? Everything that you would do on the money site you do on the drive stack and Gsite, including curating content. That’s right.
How Do You Add A Schema Markup To A Local Business Press Release?
Okay, cool. Well, the next question is from Kaydee. Hi, guys. How do you add schema markup to press releases for a local business? Press advantage sent an email with a link to Google structured data markup helper tool to create the code but on the page, it is asking to select a data type and then paste your URL of the page you wish to mark up. What URL do we enter here? I don’t know. Because I don’t use that tool. I’m going to point out another one here for you in a moment. The press release is not yet published. So it has no URL to target the markup and the data type is to tick in and the data type to tick is a local business. Thanks to know and here’s why. Because if you’re if you have your own press advantage account, or even if you Buy him through MGYB. And we set up an organization page or you set it up through your own account, right? So you set up an organization page, that’s where you should have your local business markup. If it’s, you know, an organization page for local business, you should have your local business structured data markup in the organization page, right, which will get added to all of the press releases that get pushed out. And some may not all, but many of the publisher sites that were they get published to will actually pick up that JSON LD code for local business markup. Okay, so you add that to your organization page. However, I’ve got a press advantage open here. Let’s see if it hopefully it brings me into the same standby I’m gonna have to pause my screen for a moment because of it my plugin that reset my browser that Marco pointed out, a reset my reset the tab, so give me one second while I get what you’re looking for.
Marco: Let me just tell people That if your press release gets published and you go and look at some of the websites were able to publish, and you don’t see the schema markup, but you don’t see an iframe that you send out or whatever, that’s not on us. It’s not even on press advantage. It’s actually on that website, not wanting, you know, stripping out all of the code. But what we want anyway, is we want to get that in as many places as we can. And that’s why I go it goes out to the entire publication network, but not every website will publish whatever it is that you submitted, just did just to make it clear to everyone because we do get support tickets about that. And it’s like, yeah, there’s nothing that we could do.
Bradley: Yeah, so to show you what I’m talking about. First of all, if we go to press advantage for the organization, which I should I forgot I got my ID page looped into this is going to break the browser. Let me see if I can get to Page Source before it shuts everything down. Um, Alright, so let’s see if it’ll pull this up. It might not. Okay, there we go. So if we scroll down, we’ll see right here is my local business structure data markup starting right here. From here to there. That’s my local business structure data markup, that’s part of the organization page. Right. And so again, as Marco just mentioned, some sites when we publish when it distributes the press releases, it has this codependent to it. You know, it started with it with the press release, but some sites will pick it up and publish that JSON LD code as well. What I think you’re talking about is for individual press releases, so here I am inside the dashboard. If you scroll down now there’s a section says enter JSON LD schema, this will be attached to the release in addition to any organization-specific schema. So that’s what I was talking about before. If it’s a local business, you want it which is what I was showing here. You want to have local business structure data markup on the page, right that their organization page, but then For the individual, a press release, excuse me, you can add additional schema markup here. So what I would recommend here and you know you can do other stuff too depends on what you’re having published. But what I would recommend is going to and this is a tool that I use most of the time, we’re going to have one in MGYB here shortly, I’m not sure if it’s available yet. But this is the one that I’ve been using for quite some time.
If you just go to Google and search for schema markup generator, look for technicalSEO.com or just go to technicalSEO.com and look for the schema markup generator, which is over here in the left sidebar. There’s different types of schema markups that this tool will generate different types of schema. And so the very first one is article click on the article and then when you look down here, when it loads this page, you come down here to Article type, and there’s actually one for news article. So select news article, and then just fill out these fields. And here’s your schema code over here on the right-hand sidebar. Once you’ve completed all these fields, Then you just copy that and paste that into Press Advantage over here. Now again, there are other types of schema that can be generated. So it depends on what the article is going to be about. But just doing news article schema markup is very, very powerful, right to add to each individual press release. Okay, so that’s what I would recommend. There are other tools out there that will generate this stuff to guys, this is just the one that I typically use. Okay. There’s a good question. Now, by the way, that said, I gotta tease this a little bit. I’m inside my blog for that same company, I was just sharing my real estate business. And this we’ve got coming soon. We’ve got some pretty cool stuff coming up. And like the plugin will generate this Jeffrey Smith plugin, but it’s the pro version, which isn’t released yet, but it’s coming soon. And it’s got all the schema markup generator right inside WordPress for all every different type of schema, you can think of. It’s fabulous. And so that same type that same article markup right there, if we come down here, there’s an article type, blog posting or news article. And then I can just fill out all this stuff. It creates the code right down here and embeds it into the header of this particular blog post. And I can click update, and boom, that’s going to have the same type of Article markup that we were just sharing. Pretty powerful stuff. So be on the lookout for that guys soon, early next year. That was a good tease. Right, guys?
Marco: Perfect.
Can You Embed The Website Pages In The GSite When Mirroring?
All right. Next one is Simon. He says We’re marrying the main website to the G site. Can you just embed the website pages on the site pages? Or is it necessary to copy and paste the content for each website page on to the G site pages, I just use the embeds. I’m lazy like that, right. I work on the money site pages. That’s what I flush out with good content. And I mirror them onto the site. And then I just and I do some other really cool stuff. We’ve been talking about how I do silos now. locations. So there’s topical silos and in location-based silos, but I do it in a very unique way. And it works really well, especially when you use a G site. And yeah, all I do is grab the embed or create an iframe out of the money site pages, and embed them into the G site page, then I optimize the title of the G site page, obviously. And then, you know, you can mirror that into a folder inside of your folder and files inside of your drive stack. And then just smash that shit with embeds and or links, or both. And it works really, really well hit ever remember, that’s your SEO shield. So we do everything externally to the SEO shield, right? So that would be the G site the drive stack and all of the tier one entity assets, which by the way, you can actually take those iframe into your syndication network properties to guys think about that. So right, there’s no reason you can’t push those embeds through to your syndication network properties too. good question though,
Does Proper Schema Markup Feed The Bot Enough And Not To Worry About Creating Long Articles?
Paul Thompson says, Does proper schema markup feed the bot enough that we don’t need to worry about creating long articles on the pages we want to rank? No, but it does. It does definitely help a lot. Marco is probably going to be better at answering this one than me. I would still for money sites stuff still flesh out the pages, but adding structured data, like what I just showed with my blog, where you were, you know, again, you can add it manually now like right now, since the pro plugins not available, this there might be other plugins out there that do it, but I don’t know if they provide the schema code that’s 100% up to date. I know that a lot of times they’re not updated enough. I’m not speaking badly about anybody else’s plugin. I just haven’t used them. But you can have like a code insert or plugin right so like. SoGo ad scripts header, footer and things like that header, footer type script plugins where you can add scripts into the head section or foot section or body section of any individual page or post, and you can go use schema creators like what I just shared, and create schema markup and and then put them into each one of your posts or pages or whatever, so that you’re adding additional, you know, schema structured data that the bots love and I mean, that’s guys, you’re you’ll you’ll have an edge over a lot of your competitors if you do that kind of stuff. But I would still recommend that for money site stuff, you flush the content, the content of the page out to. Marco, what say you
Marco: Yeah, I mean that absolutely. Two things right. structured and unstructured data structured data is for the bot feed the bot as much as you can, which is exactly what we do. And why we use drive stacks and Gsites and iframe and everything that the entities entity stack, and everything else that we don’t I mean that it there’s a method to our madness. Now, if you then go and you send a person to a page. And now we’re talking about people, we’re not talking about bots, because what’s going to happen is you’re going to rank. And that’s going to bring your traffic onto the page. And if there’s nothing on that page to engage the person, then we no longer care about the but now we care about that person coming to the website and converting, finishing the action that they were set out to do, because if that person comes on the website and bounces, then you did you defeated the entire purpose of creating the all of the stacking that we created in the first place, which was to get that person onto the page that would convert them over an image is going to convert them of an image is going to get them to push and call whatever it is that you need to be done. To finish that, that then that’s what’s going to matter. So, two different things. If you need the content to rank you have to look at the competition. If you can rank or outrank the competition without 2000 or 3000 words of content, By all means, nobody, and nobody’s going to sit there and go through the 3000 words of content on this is a really interested in whatever it is that you have to say. what you’re interested in, is that conversion, because that’s what centers everything at the end. And that’s what Google is going to look at from beginning to end is whether that task and that goal. Well, whether it was accomplished.
How Do You Setup A GMB Page For A Business That Operates In Multiple States?
Awesome, thanks, Marco. So the next question was from jack, I’m not the next question is my client is based out of Texas but operates in five other states fully across the states not limited to anyone Metro region. What’s the best way to set up the company GMB page, so reviews for one state aggregate under the main company as well. Or if that’s not possible, what would be the best way to go about setting up the GMB either individually and each state Or globally under some other configuration? Well, remember Google My Business is supposed to be especially now there’s another question I see on the page here a little bit lower about what happened on November 8. And from my understanding, which I’ve only done very, I’ve only kind of read through some comments and stuff, is that it was more it was basically an update to the maps algorithm for GMB stuff. And it’s gone even more proximity-based. So they’ve Google’s tightened the proximity filter, so to speak. And so with that said, Google, my business is supposed to be for local businesses, right? I mean, we’ve talked about setting up GMBs and you know, setting your service area, the United States, for example, and that’s okay, but it’s not it’s okay for like the entity but it’s not going to help you to rank anywhere in the United States and maps. That said, you’re also in this case, you’re talking about five different states. They’re located in Texas but they operate in five other states. So you potentially you could have if you have an office and in each of their other states, you could have GMB for each office location. It’s not necessary but you can. That said if you wanted to get reviews and let’s just say Arizona, I’m just assuming let’s just say that that’s one of the states that you operate in. If you get reviews in Arizona, but you want them to populate on the Texas GMB if that’s the way you have it set up. It’s not you can’t do that. If you had a gym be in Arizona, I mean, if all you have is the one Google My Business location in Texas, then it doesn’t matter where you get the reviews from. They’re all going to aggregate on that one and only Google My Business location. My point that I’m trying to make is you cannot get GMB reviews in one location and have them also populate onto another GMB location. You can’t do that. It because each GMB entity or location is supposed to be it’s own and collect its own or, you know, aggregate its own reviews. So that said, You know, I would, I would consider what it is you’re trying to do. As far as if you have multiple GMBs, which I’m not sure that you do, but if you do, then what I would recommend you do is set up use some sort of review directing app. I know for contractors, one of the ones that work really well as birdeye.com. I think another one might be Podium, I’ve not used that. But what are some of my contractor clients use Bird Eye, and that works well, but it’s like a review gate, right? So it would be an app where you send out to customers, or clients or whatever the company or the business sends out to customers and ask for some listen to review or at ask for a review. And then somebody leaves a review and it directs the app can direct where the review gets published to if that makes sense. So you have more control over it that way and if it’s you know, below three stars, then it can be not posted as a review. Instead, it could be brought to, you know, sent to the customer service team so that they can reach out and try to resolve potential issues, that kind of stuff, I would look into something like that if you’re trying to have more control over where your reviews are coming from and where they’re going to be posted to. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: Yeah, I’m just guessing that his client and whatever it is that they’re doing that it triggers a three-pack, right? It triggers a map pack and it triggers map rankings if that’s the case. Then get a map wherein each one of the places where where your client operate, and associate everything to the main entity, that’s how Texas so then the AI which is sophisticated enough to then understand once you begin associating all of these to understand that it’s all part of the same company with it’s a company that operates out of Texas but has regional offices in five other states. So that if you do get a review, for example, in Texas for the company in another state, it could be taken into consideration. I’m not saying that the AI is that sophisticated, but it could mean at some point it will be, it will be able to understand all of these different relationships and put everything together. And if you do a really good job in your structured data of putting all of this together for the buck, then you won’t even have to leave it to the bot to guess and try to understand what this is all about. You can tell it you can go with everything in JSON LD to tell about what this is all about. Having done that, then you don’t have to worry about reviewing everything, or aggregating everything under the main company, it will all be taken together because everything is associated if you’ve done your job correctly. Now, if it’s globally that we’re not worrying about maps, and then the reviews wouldn’t even come into play, unless you have unless you can trigger a knowledge And that’s a totally different story.
Bradley: Yeah, and if that’s the case, if it was globally then I would just have all reviews going to the one GMB asset, wherever the primary location is, because then all you’re trying to do is build the brand, not individual locations, right?
What Are Your Insights On The Reported Traffic Drop Last November 8, 2019?
So Ross says, Hey, everyone, and then he’s got the follow-up question below, which I’ll just that’s what and now come back to Joey’s question where he says Ross is new here. What the hell happened on November 8, lots of traffic drops and the insight and that’s what I was just talking about, as far as I know. I’m sure Marco’s got more insight on this than I do. Because I don’t geek out about this stuff anymore. If I don’t see major drops in my stuff, I don’t worry about it. So but apparently the what it from what I understand it was another maps update where it looks like they tightened the proximity filter to where it’s it’s even narrower now. Is that correct? Marco?
Marco: That’s absolutely correct. They tighten up on the proximity. And proximity is a ranking factor, it’s we can literally call it the most important ranking factor, although you can still overcome. That’s why we don’t usually see all of these changes in the things that we do. Because you can overcome anything, any part of the algorithm, you can overcome it. And people are saying that well don’t use brute force. Don’t do this. Don’t do that. You can totally overcome anything through what they call it in the Rocky movie, good old fashioned blunt force trauma. And that’s just feeding the but just a whole lot of related information, wherever it is that you that you’re trying to expand to. So even though even if the proximity factor is the main ranking factor, there are other ranking factors that can and do come into play, if you can overcome that one factor. So is that something to just totally say, Oh my god, now I have to go get a DMB in eternity. City, not only in the area where I am but in the surrounding areas, it’s being able to overcome that proximity factor. And we do it and we do a really good job of teaching that in local GSB Pro. And now, you know being at the location and being able to upload images and being able to show Google that you’re actually there and that everything is actually from that location has become more important than ever.
Bradley: Yes, very good.
Does The Size Of Embeds Matter?
So let’s jump back to Joey’s question. It says hi, does the size of embeds matter? In other words, embedding a 10 by 10 GMB site is still the equivalent of embedding a 600 by 300. So the frame could be one by 110 by 10 or 600 by 300. And you still pass the juice Thank you. I’m size doesn’t matter. Only because if you have it too small, then that could be considered cloaking. Am I correct in that statement?
Marco: Yeah, yeah, you could, you could be tagged For cloaking, although it’s really hard if I mean if you do it right there no word. Most people can’t do it right, which is why we don’t even teach it.
Bradley: Yeah. I mean, technically Yes, you can still pass the SEO with the iframe present even if it’s a one by one pixel.
Marco: Even if it’s a zero by zero
Bradley: Yeah, it technically you can absolutely do that. I wouldn’t recommend it if you know, because if anybody manually reviews it and saw it, then they could, you know, they could flag you for manual action. So
Marco: that would be the biggest problem right with someone coming in and actually, you triggering, First of all, triggering enough red flags to trigger a manual review so that someone from Google would actually come to your website because nobody trusts you’re not making enough money now. Nobody. Most people are making enough money to worry about Google to have someone waste all of their valuable resources on looking at your fucking website in the first place. If you do get that big or if just if you just happen to get unlucky enough to trigger a manual, and they come and see that zero by zero thing, yes, that is cloaking. There’s no reason for you to have a zero by zero iframe one by one unless it’s a pixel, right? Facebook, Google, whatever, if it’s unless it’s tracking code. So they come in and look and they see code and it looks fishy. You’re more likely to get hit with a manual and probably deindex, because I’ve seen cloaking get hit really, really hard.
Bradley: Yeah, agreed. Okay, so we’ll say, Hey, Marco, have you announced the date of the four webinars for Bert? I guess that’s for the charity stuff.
Marco: Yeah, no, I’m still working on that. It’s not only BERT, but I’m also going to go into entities and AI and NLP and what it actually is what it isn’t. We’re gonna we’re going to discuss and talk about everything that that other People just either refused to talk about, or they don’t know enough about it to be able to discuss it. As soon as I have it already, I’m going to announce it. I’m going to announce the date I’m going to give you the donation page. And remember this all goes to a really good cause it’s getting kids who would otherwise not be able to get an education getting them into school, so that they can get a good education get trained to get jobs and, you know, have a chance at life.
Bradley: Very cool. Alright, the next one, Fred says I was worried that that might be a problem. So that’s because I was kind of tongue in cheek picking. That is a huge, long question. He says, thanks so much for answering my 13 pages of questions. It helped a lot. Thanks, guys. You’re welcome, Fred.
What Is The Difference Between Q&A and FAQ?
Fit. So what’s up? 50 says what is the difference between Q&A and FAQ? Well, it’s, it’s kind of the same thing or it’s very closely related. Q&A is most of the time would like You can see in the SERPs is what I was talking about earlier. But FAQs that can be a little bit more specific to an individual like a business. Right? So I mean, they’re kind of basically the same. As far as schema markup, it’s the same. But what I mean the difference is frequently asked questions are should be answered by a client or business, right? Like, what is the questions that they get? asked the most by prospects and or customers or clients? Right? And they should have answers to that. But when it comes to q amp, a, what I’m what these, the way that I look at it is when you go to Google and you search for question, you’ll see related questions that get asked enough that somebody took the time to create content around answering that question, and then marking it up correctly on their website so that they could get added to the featured snippets in Google search. So it stands to reason that that question gets asked enough. It might be a frequently asked question for another business that maybe your particular client or business doesn’t get asked that much, but it’s still relevant. That makes sense. So they’re very closely related, but there is a slight difference, at least in my opinion.
Marco: Yeah, the difference is that that Q&A, people should be able to either ask questions or answer questions on the website, if they’re not able, if they’re your frequently asked questions and your answers are there’s no way for users to engage with that. Then it’s FAQ frequently asked questions. Q&A, again, is on a website where people can go in and interact with the questions and the answer. Yeah.
Bradley: Yeah, guys, it you know, I’ve talked about this probably in Syndication Academy. And I’ll probably I’ll just give this give another nugget away here because it works really well. And we’re almost out of time. So anyway, those Q&A questions that you can curate, right from Google and the beautiful thing about it is if you type in a question about product service in an industry whatever the questions box comes up now what the drop-downs each time you click on a drop-down, it brings up like three or four more questions. So like you can just keep drilling down into those guys and that gives you almost unlimited content. Like, Think about it. It’s a content hack, right, you can grab a question and an answer from those Question and Answer boxes that Google provides you and use that in GMB posts for example, right, just cite the source just like I was talking about earlier is the in the Q&A box right that the dropdown. as it expands, it gives you the snippet with the answer at least a partial answer. It might not be the full answer, but it gives a snippet and then it has the link to read more. Well, you can still use that link in the GMB post too so you give proper credit to where it’s due. That’s a nofollow link and a GMB post the button link right, and a GMB post. So the button URL, the URL that you attach to the call to action button. That is a dofollow link, although I here in just the past few days probably since November 8. Some of those are nofollow. And I think it’s just because Google is still tinkering around in there. But those are dofollow links. So you can still link back to the answer, have a QA, write a question and answer that you curate it you basically are republishing from Google’s own search results, to add relevancy to the GMB. You can do this on your money site too and link back to the source which is only proper and right. But then use the button URL in the GMB post the link back to your money site, right to your page that also is about that very topic or question and answer right so you again, you’re it’s creating co-citation. It’s creating topical relevancy, and you don’t even have to come up with the content. You can even go through and curate groups of questions like question and then create blog posts out of those on your money site where once again, you’re publishing the question plus the answer. You can create a table of contents at the top of the page Marco stop me from getting too deep here. But with a table of contents with jump links, anchor links, right that jump down to each section that has a different question. It has the answer that links back out to the source, right, but it’s a nofollow link on the blog post. And then just like a curated post, you can inject some commentary in between that stuff, with an opening paragraph and a closing paragraph with a call to action to contact your business or your company, your client that you’re doing the work for, for help or services with that, you know, for products or services that solve those problems, those questions that make sense.
So again, guys, it’s a great strategy to use those questions as a farm those questions right mine those questions, harvest those questions or whatever you want to say from one of those from this q&a panels that pop up in the Google search results and drill down into them. You can get gold topic ideas, blog post ideas GMB post ideas from that kind of stuff.
Which Of Your Courses In Which You Teach About Making ID Pages and Mirror Gsites?
So, Alright, the last question is oh Austin Don says, which of your courses do you teach about making it pages and mirror g sites? Well the mastermind, RYS reloaded local GMB Pro, any one of those three the mastermind local GMB Pro or RYS reloaded what it was, it’s covered in all three of those locations. So, am I missing any here guys?
Marco: I don’t think you did. Okay.
Bradley: Adam, you want to chime in? All right, last is not really a question. It’s just a comment and then we’re going to wrap it up, guys. I’ve got a TV repairman showing up in about five minutes. Anyways, I asked the question about GMBs and review in one location versus all the states that clients the Klein operates and this was that question about Texas and five additional states. We answered previously he says no follow up question. I just wanted to say thank you for answering it and you knocked it out of the park. I’ve wrestled with this in my head for a week and you made it clear as day thanks again, guys for all that you do. You’re very welcome. That’s what this venue is for. Anything else guys?
Marco: No, not unless another question popped up now. on the page,
Adam: I think you just scroll over Bradley, but the last call for everybody. Head over there. Just follow the instructions on Facebook get early access to the YouTube and UTM course Bradley’s going to be put together here over the holidays and save a bundle but like they said to if you want to wait a little bit and pay us three times too much more. So okay with that.
Bradley: And let’s go ahead. I was gonna say I actually prefer that. But, you know, I want you guys to save that additional $200 to spend it on your family’s at Christmas. So
Marco: and stop by the mastermind tomorrow. The webinar, because we’re going to show how much we’ve improved the user experience. Want to show how easy it is to find the information now before it was just okay, how do I get through five years of information? Yeah, because we have five years worth of videos in there in the archives, right? So just the latest videos. It’s everything since we started. As I did you get through all that, well, now we made it really simple for you to get through it.
Bradley: That’s been a long time coming. There’s just so much damn content, so much video-based content and long mastermind webinars. It’s been hard to, for people to find stuff and that’s a problem we’ve been dealing with for a long time. And we Marco has been working on it in the background for since I think January of this year, maybe February, but it’s been a long time. And now it’s here. It’s ready. So it’s awesome. It’s a big, big improvement. So, all right, everybody, thanks for being here. We’ll see some of you tomorrow, the rest of you next week. Awesome. Bye, everyone. Bye, everyone.

Adam: Um, no, is that a thing?
Chris: I didn’t know. Like, I noticed there was were all kinds of like online sales on the 11th of November. So I was actually quite surprised.
Adam: 11 11 maybe just like making use of the numbers. You know, right. Fair enough. Well, I missed out on that since
Bradley: it’s just like every year, people start putting their Christmas trees and decorations up and the station started playing Christmas music earlier on earlier every fucking year. So I imagine Black Friday starts getting earlier on early every year now to so jet rise.

We got some good stuff coming.
Marco: I have two public service announcements. Adams Sorry to interrupt.
Adam: Yeah, let’s do it.
Marco: Black Friday will be on Wednesdays from now on. I just determined that. And to all joking aside, we always say that be and the mastermind has its privileges. Well, I’ve been personally working really hard and incorporating some really not gonna say what it is, but some just some really neat things into the Mastermind to make the user experience to and to make people finding what they’re looking for. To make that way better to improve the experience so that people can come in and find exactly what they’re looking for, where it is, you know, so whatever it is that you’re trying to find, Marco will talk shit about Google on and I can’t remember when Well, it’s not finished, not 100% because there is artificial intelligence involved. And interestingly enough the world is the SEO world is an uproar because of BERT, and we’re actually using BERT in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind so again, mastermind being a member of the Semantic Mastermind does have its privileges because you’re first to get everything that we do business building and ideas and concepts, and all of these different things. Hey, on tomorrow’s mastermind webinar will be talking about BERT and AI and what it is actually, because you see all of these discussions and all of these forums and then all these Facebook groups, and nobody has an I’m not going to drop an F-bomb here. Nobody has an effing clue as to what it is that they’re talking. They don’t know what BERT is. And all you have to do is go into the documentation to see what BERT is and what it does. And you’ll know that it’s absolutely nothing to worry about. Absolutely nothing because of the way that we teach you how to do things in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind. So not only does it have its privileges in that we give you cutting it and anything that we can do to make your Your life easier to enter to make, whether its clients whether tank, whatever it is, it’s there and we give it to people but it’s also we try to make your life easier. We try to do all of these different things. Because you’re a member of the Semantic Mastery Mastermind. It’s included in the membership fee, nobody will have to pay extra for all the work that went into the back end of the mastermind to make things so much better. So, I’m sorry, it seems like it’s a pitch fest for the mastermind. And I should be pitching the hell out of it. Because it’s so good. We get testimonials time and again, of how well our stuff works. And so yeah, we should be here, tooting our own horns and singing our praises and whatever. I’m not going to go into that anymore. Just I’m just letting people know if you’re in the Semantic Mastery <stermind, be there tomorrow and see just how much we have improved the learning experience. Let’s call it
Adam: Amen. got one more to add on to that you guys are now made a post believe on November 4 about big news for Bradley. Bradley is going to be putting together some training, we decided based on the response. There’s still a little bit of time if you want to get down on this, and what it is, is step by step program on how to grow, grow a massive brand using YouTube and GDN, Ads. And, you know, we just want to engage, because we have, especially Bradley didn’t want to be putting in a lot of time and effort doing the training, you know, right leading up into the holidays if people weren’t interested. But so far, we’ve got 71 comments, people interested in early access at a hell of a discount. So I’m going to put the link in if you want to get in on that. Just comment, leave a GIF or a comment on the Facebook thread and we will be in touch with you shortly. We’re going to have some information that information about that going up. Hernan says let me in I think he got booted from the from Hump Day Hangouts.
Bradley: He’s back in
Adam: Alright, well, guys, with that said, we got anything else before we get into questions here.
Bradley: I’ll just give a little update on a couple of things. Number one, we’ve got anybody that joined Local Kingpin, which was the Google Ads training for using search ads for lead generation. That’s going to be an update webinar on Monday. Because the interface has changed so much the principles, the method is still pretty much the same, though. There’s just some slight differences that I’m going to cover. And the interface, Google Ads interface has changed a lot. Plus they’ve got a lot of new or improved features, such as automated bidding strategies and things like that, that I used to suggest never to use, but they’ve gotten so much better over the last year and a half, two years because of AI and it’s so much better. So artificial intelligence. And so we’re going to talk about that slightly plus any questions that anybody has So that’ll be Monday, it’ll be probably only about an hour long. That’s just for me to give an update and answer questions. So if you’re in Local Kingpin, I encourage you to get signed up for that.
Also, the Google Ads course that Adam was just talking about, that I’m going to be starting in two weeks, I think it’s one and I say we’re going to do that. I think Monday, the 25th is going to be the first webinar and that’ll be about 90 minutes, maybe longer if there’s, you know, a lot of Q&A at the end, and then December 9th, and that’s going to be a two-part deal. The first one will be about YouTube ads and how to use that for branding. And for not not not so much lead generation it will produce leads, but it’s not a direct lead generator, it it will but it’s more about branding, and also driving relevant traffic into your digital assets. So your entity essentially. So we’re going to talk about YouTube on the first webinar. And then on the second webinar. Again, that’ll be December 9th. We’re going to talk about using the Google Display Network. So it’s good Google Ads training specifically for YouTube and the Google Display Network for setting up branding campaigns which works incredibly well for both building brand awareness but also for generating relevant targeted traffic from specific audiences from specific geo locations if it’s for local into your entities, your digital assets for a particular brand which is great for SEO. So it’s a way for using Google ads to not only produce relevant traffic but improve brand awareness as well as help the SEO that your any SEO work that you’re doing, because you’re driving relevant, targeted traffic from known audiences and Google to your SEO as your assets that you’ve been doing SEO work on. And that takes care of ART right – relevance, trust, and authority. Google understands that that’s that recognize that traffic is an activity. It’s relevant because it’s from known audiences and specific geolocation if that’s if it’s for local you can target by geolocation, and it’s also trusted, trusted and authority trusted traffic because it’s coming from Google’s known Google’s audience buckets. And essentially, so it’s going to be it’s very, very powerful. I’ve just been crushing it with Google ads for clients over the last several months. And it just works really, really well. And I’ve been using them for my own business as well. And it’s, it’s just a great, great strategy. So that said, it’s, um, it’s going to be a pre, like right now you can get in for like, the pre-training special or whatever, where it’s, it’s a third of what it’s going to be once I’m done recording those webinars, it’s going to be packaged up and sold for probably 300 bucks, or right right, right around there. So if you want to get in for a third of that, I would recommend that you go check out the post that Adam posted, comment on it and then get signed up. Okay. All right.
Marco: So they’re more than welcome to wait and pay us more later. Yeah, that’s fine too. But I would suggest for people not to wait.
Bradley: Alright, so can we get into it? Now,
Adam: let’s do it.
Bradley: All right, we got the screen. Okay, somebody confirm.
Adam: Good to go.
Bradley: Okay, so everybody can see my humping Wednesday meme GIFs alright. Hump Day right, Wednesday.
How Would You Add Relevancy To Your Money Site Using Drive Stacks?
So, Alright, so the first questions are and it’s multiple questions. It’s 13 pages worth of questions from Fred Wilson and Fred. Well, I appreciate your and I really do. I appreciate your questions. That’s a bit much for Hump Day Hangouts. And also, it’s getting a little bit into the weeds for stuff that we would typically only cover in this much depth in mastermind, which I’m sure you’re fully aware of that, as a former mastermind member, or an RYS Academy reloaded specifically since it’s so it pertains to drive stack stuff and kind of deep into the weeds. But with that said, Marco, how much of this do you want to answer?
Marco: I haven’t really re-read the question. So,
Bradley: Yeah. So should I give you about 10 minutes to get through it?
Marco: All right. Do you have a general question that you can add the I’d be more than happy to answer general questions, but if it’s something that’s specific, yeah, that again, membership has its privileges and this things that I’m only answer for paying members and I mean, that that’s just that’s the way it should be. I’m sure that people who have paid three $4,000 for the course would appreciate me keeping the secret sauce in where it belongs.
Bradley: Yeah. And I agree and that, you know, I’ve read through the first two sections of this three-part question this three-section question, and I realized that it’s, it’s a lot more in-depth than what we would typically answer on a free Hump Day hangout because it’s getting into very specific tactics. From RYS reloaded, we would cover it also in the mastermind, I’m sure. But this is not something that we can get that deep into it. That said, I’ll give you kind of a general overview, and I’ll kind of answer it and let you take add to it, Marco, and then we’ll move on to the next one. So Fred, we would welcome you back to the mastermind at any moment.
If we’re going to RYS Reloaded, either one of those would be good places to get this particular question answered. But that said, He’s talking about his food business, his food tour business and talking about how to add additional relevancy. He did some keyword theme research using SEM Rush and looking at some of the competitors and found that there is some other keywords other than just food tour type keywords that can help to add relevancy that are kind of associated with the food tour business, but he hasn’t been targeting them. And so the question is would adding in some of these other types of keyboard themes into the drive stack folders as subfolders within food tour folders, would that help to add relevancy? And because of the association that Google’s is showing? And so I mean, to me, you’ve already answered your question. Yes. You know, if there’s if there’s a way to create that association, that you’re you’ve discovered by doing some additional research, looking at competitors using some tools like sem rush and all of that kind of stuff, then yeah, you can you can add that additional relevancy into your drive stack. And that’s going to certainly help. I don’t know if you want to go further than that. Marco.
Marco: Yeah. Just a little bit, because, I mean, I can answer this generally we go after, especially the way that our keyword research VA is being taught, we go after anything that Google considers relevant. In a keyword, research cake, and we give you guys whoever orders the gig, the deep keyword research, all of that information. We do separate the movie will give you tasks will give you silos will give you information that we feel is where the money makers are, what the relevant keywords are, and maybe something that that that that isn’t a money keyword, but Google still thinks that that is relevant. All of that is necessary because what we do inside the drive stack is create relevantly and push. Right? We create a relevance push from everything that we do from the spider web silo to the way that the drive stack is built to the way that the G site is built to the way the inner pages are done to the way that we mimic what’s on the website. So yes, by all means, I don’t care. We do use SEM Rush for keyword relevance, but that’s not necessarily what will target what we do is we use Jeffrey Smith’s Ultimate SEO Bootcamp training. And we go according to how he teaches what the top-level categories are. Then from there, work down and create the silos there, you will create three silos. But everything that’s relevant should be at it. Remember when Network Empire started talking about color, current stuff, it’s not, it’s not there. But they began talking about it. And they began explaining it more what it was all about, what it means. And really, that’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to create all of this in a self-contained Google environment for the bot to feed on, which is, that’s exactly what we’re doing.
Is It Safe Against Plagiarism To Curate Content With Attribution From Google Snippet?
Bradley: Yeah. And so the next question part of this, which it’s kinda interesting that you asked this, Fred because we covered this, our own our very own data. You know, master link builder, was at our live event, hopefully, live 2019 in Denver, just recently, and he was talking about doing something similar that you’re asking about, which is adding q&a. Questions and Answers into a doc within your Gsite within your drive stack and just linking back to the source but not actually hyperlinking just putting like the text-based link. So you’re providing a citation, but what so you’re citing the source, right? So you’re providing attribution, but you’re not hyperlinking back. I would say that should be okay, provided you’re not copying, you know, if you’re just copying snippets, like what is shown in the Google search results for the q amp a section. So when you search for a question in Google, and it brings up that featured snippet, which is a q amp a box, right, and it’s got the dropdowns, and you click the drop-down, and then it shows a short it shows the full question and then a short answer and a link back to the source where it’s pulling that answer from that question and answer from you can embed that or you know, kind of copy and paste that into a Google doc or something like that. And then still late as long as you’re not expanding by going to the actual destination URL and copying more of the content. It’s just a snippet. So it falls under the same rules of curating content would be on a blog post in that, if you’re just highlighting, you know, reusing republishing a short snippet from somebody else’s content, and then you’re providing attribution citing the source, then it should be okay. Now, some people, some publishers will still make eventually, you know, sometimes they may find it and they may request that you unpublish it. But as far as it being a copyright infringement, as long as it’s just a small snippet, and it’s you’re citing the source, it should, it should never be an issue. Although like I said, out of courtesy, if anybody ever were to contact you and say Please take this down or unpublished this, then you know, I would recommend that you just do it to avoid any sort of, you know, some sort of stupid battle that could ensue. Although again, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it legally because you are citing the source and it falls within a specific brand. Members of the DMC act right there were the digital, whatever Copyright Act. So I would just, you know, encourage you not to go any further than what is shown in the snippets and the featured snippets within Google search.
That said, also, you’re asked about curating a lot of content about a topic putting it inside the drive stack, then putting links to your money site, the correct way to push relevancy for your money site? Again, yes, you can do that. The same thing is by curating content on your money site, you can do that. Right. So think about that. That’s what we’ve taught for years is the best way to generate content before even money site blog posts unless you’re a subject matter expert and you’re creating 100% original content. The problem with that is even as an as a subject matter expert, sometimes you get you run out of ideas. But there are a ton of other subject matter experts. I’m not talking about buying shitty content farm content, I’m talking about locating subject Matter content written by subject matter experts pertaining to your topic, right or your niche your industry, and then republishing, once again snippets of it, and giving credit to where it’s, you know, citing the source giving attribution. And in the case of curating on a blog, your money site blog, you know, we always recommend hyperlinking to the source. And just using nofollow External links, that’s what I’ve always done. Um, but that’s very, very powerful. Because once again, you can create an original article out of using snippets of other people’s content, where you’re just adding commentary and opening paragraph commentary in between pieces of curated content, which doesn’t have to be just articles, it can be videos, infographics, don’t curate images. Please don’t do that. You can. That’s a no-no, but you can curate infographics, videos, mp3, so audio files, you know, other articles, you can curate all that kind of stuff. And it helps because it allows you to be able to produce content very quickly, inexpensively. And you can even train a virtual assistant, somebody that’s not a subject matter expert how to locate good content, and compile it in a logical fashion, and then just add commentary. So in other words, you know, you can come up with a topic for a blog post, find supporting articles or even differing opinion articles, right so that you can do a compare and contrast or pros and cons or argue both sides of a topic in particular curated article if that makes sense. It’s very, very powerful. And it’s a great way to create co-citation, which is similar to co-occurrence in that you’re linking out to other relevant sources. And so again, we talked about all of that in content kingpin, it’s a training course that is still 100% relevant today. I still use that for all of my clients, that same exact method for curating content for all of my clients. You can apply that to drive stack stuff to you’re still going to build that relevancy, topical relevancy. Just make sure you’re Giving attribution even if you’re not hyperlinking to it, I recommend you absolutely always give credit where credit is due. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: No, I totally agree. It’s a matter of mirroring right? Everything that you would do on the money site you do on the drive stack and Gsite, including curating content. That’s right.
How Do You Add A Schema Markup To A Local Business Press Release?
Okay, cool. Well, the next question is from Kaydee. Hi, guys. How do you add schema markup to press releases for a local business? Press advantage sent an email with a link to Google structured data markup helper tool to create the code but on the page, it is asking to select a data type and then paste your URL of the page you wish to mark up. What URL do we enter here? I don’t know. Because I don’t use that tool. I’m going to point out another one here for you in a moment. The press release is not yet published. So it has no URL to target the markup and the data type is to tick in and the data type to tick is a local business. Thanks to know and here’s why. Because if you’re if you have your own press advantage account, or even if you Buy him through MGYB. And we set up an organization page or you set it up through your own account, right? So you set up an organization page, that’s where you should have your local business markup. If it’s, you know, an organization page for local business, you should have your local business structured data markup in the organization page, right, which will get added to all of the press releases that get pushed out. And some may not all, but many of the publisher sites that were they get published to will actually pick up that JSON LD code for local business markup. Okay, so you add that to your organization page. However, I’ve got a press advantage open here. Let’s see if it hopefully it brings me into the same standby I’m gonna have to pause my screen for a moment because of it my plugin that reset my browser that Marco pointed out, a reset my reset the tab, so give me one second while I get what you’re looking for.
Marco: Let me just tell people That if your press release gets published and you go and look at some of the websites were able to publish, and you don’t see the schema markup, but you don’t see an iframe that you send out or whatever, that’s not on us. It’s not even on press advantage. It’s actually on that website, not wanting, you know, stripping out all of the code. But what we want anyway, is we want to get that in as many places as we can. And that’s why I go it goes out to the entire publication network, but not every website will publish whatever it is that you submitted, just did just to make it clear to everyone because we do get support tickets about that. And it’s like, yeah, there’s nothing that we could do.
Bradley: Yeah, so to show you what I’m talking about. First of all, if we go to press advantage for the organization, which I should I forgot I got my ID page looped into this is going to break the browser. Let me see if I can get to Page Source before it shuts everything down. Um, Alright, so let’s see if it’ll pull this up. It might not. Okay, there we go. So if we scroll down, we’ll see right here is my local business structure data markup starting right here. From here to there. That’s my local business structure data markup, that’s part of the organization page. Right. And so again, as Marco just mentioned, some sites when we publish when it distributes the press releases, it has this codependent to it. You know, it started with it with the press release, but some sites will pick it up and publish that JSON LD code as well. What I think you’re talking about is for individual press releases, so here I am inside the dashboard. If you scroll down now there’s a section says enter JSON LD schema, this will be attached to the release in addition to any organization-specific schema. So that’s what I was talking about before. If it’s a local business, you want it which is what I was showing here. You want to have local business structure data markup on the page, right that their organization page, but then For the individual, a press release, excuse me, you can add additional schema markup here. So what I would recommend here and you know you can do other stuff too depends on what you’re having published. But what I would recommend is going to and this is a tool that I use most of the time, we’re going to have one in MGYB here shortly, I’m not sure if it’s available yet. But this is the one that I’ve been using for quite some time.
If you just go to Google and search for schema markup generator, look for technicalSEO.com or just go to technicalSEO.com and look for the schema markup generator, which is over here in the left sidebar. There’s different types of schema markups that this tool will generate different types of schema. And so the very first one is article click on the article and then when you look down here, when it loads this page, you come down here to Article type, and there’s actually one for news article. So select news article, and then just fill out these fields. And here’s your schema code over here on the right-hand sidebar. Once you’ve completed all these fields, Then you just copy that and paste that into Press Advantage over here. Now again, there are other types of schema that can be generated. So it depends on what the article is going to be about. But just doing news article schema markup is very, very powerful, right to add to each individual press release. Okay, so that’s what I would recommend. There are other tools out there that will generate this stuff to guys, this is just the one that I typically use. Okay. There’s a good question. Now, by the way, that said, I gotta tease this a little bit. I’m inside my blog for that same company, I was just sharing my real estate business. And this we’ve got coming soon. We’ve got some pretty cool stuff coming up. And like the plugin will generate this Jeffrey Smith plugin, but it’s the pro version, which isn’t released yet, but it’s coming soon. And it’s got all the schema markup generator right inside WordPress for all every different type of schema, you can think of. It’s fabulous. And so that same type that same article markup right there, if we come down here, there’s an article type, blog posting or news article. And then I can just fill out all this stuff. It creates the code right down here and embeds it into the header of this particular blog post. And I can click update, and boom, that’s going to have the same type of Article markup that we were just sharing. Pretty powerful stuff. So be on the lookout for that guys soon, early next year. That was a good tease. Right, guys?
Marco: Perfect.
Can You Embed The Website Pages In The GSite When Mirroring?
All right. Next one is Simon. He says We’re marrying the main website to the G site. Can you just embed the website pages on the site pages? Or is it necessary to copy and paste the content for each website page on to the G site pages, I just use the embeds. I’m lazy like that, right. I work on the money site pages. That’s what I flush out with good content. And I mirror them onto the site. And then I just and I do some other really cool stuff. We’ve been talking about how I do silos now. locations. So there’s topical silos and in location-based silos, but I do it in a very unique way. And it works really well, especially when you use a G site. And yeah, all I do is grab the embed or create an iframe out of the money site pages, and embed them into the G site page, then I optimize the title of the G site page, obviously. And then, you know, you can mirror that into a folder inside of your folder and files inside of your drive stack. And then just smash that shit with embeds and or links, or both. And it works really, really well hit ever remember, that’s your SEO shield. So we do everything externally to the SEO shield, right? So that would be the G site the drive stack and all of the tier one entity assets, which by the way, you can actually take those iframe into your syndication network properties to guys think about that. So right, there’s no reason you can’t push those embeds through to your syndication network properties too. good question though,
Does Proper Schema Markup Feed The Bot Enough And Not To Worry About Creating Long Articles?
Paul Thompson says, Does proper schema markup feed the bot enough that we don’t need to worry about creating long articles on the pages we want to rank? No, but it does. It does definitely help a lot. Marco is probably going to be better at answering this one than me. I would still for money sites stuff still flesh out the pages, but adding structured data, like what I just showed with my blog, where you were, you know, again, you can add it manually now like right now, since the pro plugins not available, this there might be other plugins out there that do it, but I don’t know if they provide the schema code that’s 100% up to date. I know that a lot of times they’re not updated enough. I’m not speaking badly about anybody else’s plugin. I just haven’t used them. But you can have like a code insert or plugin right so like. SoGo ad scripts header, footer and things like that header, footer type script plugins where you can add scripts into the head section or foot section or body section of any individual page or post, and you can go use schema creators like what I just shared, and create schema markup and and then put them into each one of your posts or pages or whatever, so that you’re adding additional, you know, schema structured data that the bots love and I mean, that’s guys, you’re you’ll you’ll have an edge over a lot of your competitors if you do that kind of stuff. But I would still recommend that for money site stuff, you flush the content, the content of the page out to. Marco, what say you
Marco: Yeah, I mean that absolutely. Two things right. structured and unstructured data structured data is for the bot feed the bot as much as you can, which is exactly what we do. And why we use drive stacks and Gsites and iframe and everything that the entities entity stack, and everything else that we don’t I mean that it there’s a method to our madness. Now, if you then go and you send a person to a page. And now we’re talking about people, we’re not talking about bots, because what’s going to happen is you’re going to rank. And that’s going to bring your traffic onto the page. And if there’s nothing on that page to engage the person, then we no longer care about the but now we care about that person coming to the website and converting, finishing the action that they were set out to do, because if that person comes on the website and bounces, then you did you defeated the entire purpose of creating the all of the stacking that we created in the first place, which was to get that person onto the page that would convert them over an image is going to convert them of an image is going to get them to push and call whatever it is that you need to be done. To finish that, that then that’s what’s going to matter. So, two different things. If you need the content to rank you have to look at the competition. If you can rank or outrank the competition without 2000 or 3000 words of content, By all means, nobody, and nobody’s going to sit there and go through the 3000 words of content on this is a really interested in whatever it is that you have to say. what you’re interested in, is that conversion, because that’s what centers everything at the end. And that’s what Google is going to look at from beginning to end is whether that task and that goal. Well, whether it was accomplished.
How Do You Setup A GMB Page For A Business That Operates In Multiple States?
Awesome, thanks, Marco. So the next question was from jack, I’m not the next question is my client is based out of Texas but operates in five other states fully across the states not limited to anyone Metro region. What’s the best way to set up the company GMB page, so reviews for one state aggregate under the main company as well. Or if that’s not possible, what would be the best way to go about setting up the GMB either individually and each state Or globally under some other configuration? Well, remember Google My Business is supposed to be especially now there’s another question I see on the page here a little bit lower about what happened on November 8. And from my understanding, which I’ve only done very, I’ve only kind of read through some comments and stuff, is that it was more it was basically an update to the maps algorithm for GMB stuff. And it’s gone even more proximity-based. So they’ve Google’s tightened the proximity filter, so to speak. And so with that said, Google, my business is supposed to be for local businesses, right? I mean, we’ve talked about setting up GMBs and you know, setting your service area, the United States, for example, and that’s okay, but it’s not it’s okay for like the entity but it’s not going to help you to rank anywhere in the United States and maps. That said, you’re also in this case, you’re talking about five different states. They’re located in Texas but they operate in five other states. So you potentially you could have if you have an office and in each of their other states, you could have GMB for each office location. It’s not necessary but you can. That said if you wanted to get reviews and let’s just say Arizona, I’m just assuming let’s just say that that’s one of the states that you operate in. If you get reviews in Arizona, but you want them to populate on the Texas GMB if that’s the way you have it set up. It’s not you can’t do that. If you had a gym be in Arizona, I mean, if all you have is the one Google My Business location in Texas, then it doesn’t matter where you get the reviews from. They’re all going to aggregate on that one and only Google My Business location. My point that I’m trying to make is you cannot get GMB reviews in one location and have them also populate onto another GMB location. You can’t do that. It because each GMB entity or location is supposed to be it’s own and collect its own or, you know, aggregate its own reviews. So that said, You know, I would, I would consider what it is you’re trying to do. As far as if you have multiple GMBs, which I’m not sure that you do, but if you do, then what I would recommend you do is set up use some sort of review directing app. I know for contractors, one of the ones that work really well as birdeye.com. I think another one might be Podium, I’ve not used that. But what are some of my contractor clients use Bird Eye, and that works well, but it’s like a review gate, right? So it would be an app where you send out to customers, or clients or whatever the company or the business sends out to customers and ask for some listen to review or at ask for a review. And then somebody leaves a review and it directs the app can direct where the review gets published to if that makes sense. So you have more control over it that way and if it’s you know, below three stars, then it can be not posted as a review. Instead, it could be brought to, you know, sent to the customer service team so that they can reach out and try to resolve potential issues, that kind of stuff, I would look into something like that if you’re trying to have more control over where your reviews are coming from and where they’re going to be posted to. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: Yeah, I’m just guessing that his client and whatever it is that they’re doing that it triggers a three-pack, right? It triggers a map pack and it triggers map rankings if that’s the case. Then get a map wherein each one of the places where where your client operate, and associate everything to the main entity, that’s how Texas so then the AI which is sophisticated enough to then understand once you begin associating all of these to understand that it’s all part of the same company with it’s a company that operates out of Texas but has regional offices in five other states. So that if you do get a review, for example, in Texas for the company in another state, it could be taken into consideration. I’m not saying that the AI is that sophisticated, but it could mean at some point it will be, it will be able to understand all of these different relationships and put everything together. And if you do a really good job in your structured data of putting all of this together for the buck, then you won’t even have to leave it to the bot to guess and try to understand what this is all about. You can tell it you can go with everything in JSON LD to tell about what this is all about. Having done that, then you don’t have to worry about reviewing everything, or aggregating everything under the main company, it will all be taken together because everything is associated if you’ve done your job correctly. Now, if it’s globally that we’re not worrying about maps, and then the reviews wouldn’t even come into play, unless you have unless you can trigger a knowledge And that’s a totally different story.
Bradley: Yeah, and if that’s the case, if it was globally then I would just have all reviews going to the one GMB asset, wherever the primary location is, because then all you’re trying to do is build the brand, not individual locations, right?
What Are Your Insights On The Reported Traffic Drop Last November 8, 2019?
So Ross says, Hey, everyone, and then he’s got the follow-up question below, which I’ll just that’s what and now come back to Joey’s question where he says Ross is new here. What the hell happened on November 8, lots of traffic drops and the insight and that’s what I was just talking about, as far as I know. I’m sure Marco’s got more insight on this than I do. Because I don’t geek out about this stuff anymore. If I don’t see major drops in my stuff, I don’t worry about it. So but apparently the what it from what I understand it was another maps update where it looks like they tightened the proximity filter to where it’s it’s even narrower now. Is that correct? Marco?
Marco: That’s absolutely correct. They tighten up on the proximity. And proximity is a ranking factor, it’s we can literally call it the most important ranking factor, although you can still overcome. That’s why we don’t usually see all of these changes in the things that we do. Because you can overcome anything, any part of the algorithm, you can overcome it. And people are saying that well don’t use brute force. Don’t do this. Don’t do that. You can totally overcome anything through what they call it in the Rocky movie, good old fashioned blunt force trauma. And that’s just feeding the but just a whole lot of related information, wherever it is that you that you’re trying to expand to. So even though even if the proximity factor is the main ranking factor, there are other ranking factors that can and do come into play, if you can overcome that one factor. So is that something to just totally say, Oh my god, now I have to go get a DMB in eternity. City, not only in the area where I am but in the surrounding areas, it’s being able to overcome that proximity factor. And we do it and we do a really good job of teaching that in local GSB Pro. And now, you know being at the location and being able to upload images and being able to show Google that you’re actually there and that everything is actually from that location has become more important than ever.
Bradley: Yes, very good.
Does The Size Of Embeds Matter?
So let’s jump back to Joey’s question. It says hi, does the size of embeds matter? In other words, embedding a 10 by 10 GMB site is still the equivalent of embedding a 600 by 300. So the frame could be one by 110 by 10 or 600 by 300. And you still pass the juice Thank you. I’m size doesn’t matter. Only because if you have it too small, then that could be considered cloaking. Am I correct in that statement?
Marco: Yeah, yeah, you could, you could be tagged For cloaking, although it’s really hard if I mean if you do it right there no word. Most people can’t do it right, which is why we don’t even teach it.
Bradley: Yeah. I mean, technically Yes, you can still pass the SEO with the iframe present even if it’s a one by one pixel.
Marco: Even if it’s a zero by zero
Bradley: Yeah, it technically you can absolutely do that. I wouldn’t recommend it if you know, because if anybody manually reviews it and saw it, then they could, you know, they could flag you for manual action. So
Marco: that would be the biggest problem right with someone coming in and actually, you triggering, First of all, triggering enough red flags to trigger a manual review so that someone from Google would actually come to your website because nobody trusts you’re not making enough money now. Nobody. Most people are making enough money to worry about Google to have someone waste all of their valuable resources on looking at your fucking website in the first place. If you do get that big or if just if you just happen to get unlucky enough to trigger a manual, and they come and see that zero by zero thing, yes, that is cloaking. There’s no reason for you to have a zero by zero iframe one by one unless it’s a pixel, right? Facebook, Google, whatever, if it’s unless it’s tracking code. So they come in and look and they see code and it looks fishy. You’re more likely to get hit with a manual and probably deindex, because I’ve seen cloaking get hit really, really hard.
Bradley: Yeah, agreed. Okay, so we’ll say, Hey, Marco, have you announced the date of the four webinars for Bert? I guess that’s for the charity stuff.
Marco: Yeah, no, I’m still working on that. It’s not only BERT, but I’m also going to go into entities and AI and NLP and what it actually is what it isn’t. We’re gonna we’re going to discuss and talk about everything that that other People just either refused to talk about, or they don’t know enough about it to be able to discuss it. As soon as I have it already, I’m going to announce it. I’m going to announce the date I’m going to give you the donation page. And remember this all goes to a really good cause it’s getting kids who would otherwise not be able to get an education getting them into school, so that they can get a good education get trained to get jobs and, you know, have a chance at life.
Bradley: Very cool. Alright, the next one, Fred says I was worried that that might be a problem. So that’s because I was kind of tongue in cheek picking. That is a huge, long question. He says, thanks so much for answering my 13 pages of questions. It helped a lot. Thanks, guys. You’re welcome, Fred.
What Is The Difference Between Q&A and FAQ?
Fit. So what’s up? 50 says what is the difference between Q&A and FAQ? Well, it’s, it’s kind of the same thing or it’s very closely related. Q&A is most of the time would like You can see in the SERPs is what I was talking about earlier. But FAQs that can be a little bit more specific to an individual like a business. Right? So I mean, they’re kind of basically the same. As far as schema markup, it’s the same. But what I mean the difference is frequently asked questions are should be answered by a client or business, right? Like, what is the questions that they get? asked the most by prospects and or customers or clients? Right? And they should have answers to that. But when it comes to q amp, a, what I’m what these, the way that I look at it is when you go to Google and you search for question, you’ll see related questions that get asked enough that somebody took the time to create content around answering that question, and then marking it up correctly on their website so that they could get added to the featured snippets in Google search. So it stands to reason that that question gets asked enough. It might be a frequently asked question for another business that maybe your particular client or business doesn’t get asked that much, but it’s still relevant. That makes sense. So they’re very closely related, but there is a slight difference, at least in my opinion.
Marco: Yeah, the difference is that that Q&A, people should be able to either ask questions or answer questions on the website, if they’re not able, if they’re your frequently asked questions and your answers are there’s no way for users to engage with that. Then it’s FAQ frequently asked questions. Q&A, again, is on a website where people can go in and interact with the questions and the answer. Yeah.
Bradley: Yeah, guys, it you know, I’ve talked about this probably in Syndication Academy. And I’ll probably I’ll just give this give another nugget away here because it works really well. And we’re almost out of time. So anyway, those Q&A questions that you can curate, right from Google and the beautiful thing about it is if you type in a question about product service in an industry whatever the questions box comes up now what the drop-downs each time you click on a drop-down, it brings up like three or four more questions. So like you can just keep drilling down into those guys and that gives you almost unlimited content. Like, Think about it. It’s a content hack, right, you can grab a question and an answer from those Question and Answer boxes that Google provides you and use that in GMB posts for example, right, just cite the source just like I was talking about earlier is the in the Q&A box right that the dropdown. as it expands, it gives you the snippet with the answer at least a partial answer. It might not be the full answer, but it gives a snippet and then it has the link to read more. Well, you can still use that link in the GMB post too so you give proper credit to where it’s due. That’s a nofollow link and a GMB post the button link right, and a GMB post. So the button URL, the URL that you attach to the call to action button. That is a dofollow link, although I here in just the past few days probably since November 8. Some of those are nofollow. And I think it’s just because Google is still tinkering around in there. But those are dofollow links. So you can still link back to the answer, have a QA, write a question and answer that you curate it you basically are republishing from Google’s own search results, to add relevancy to the GMB. You can do this on your money site too and link back to the source which is only proper and right. But then use the button URL in the GMB post the link back to your money site, right to your page that also is about that very topic or question and answer right so you again, you’re it’s creating co-citation. It’s creating topical relevancy, and you don’t even have to come up with the content. You can even go through and curate groups of questions like question and then create blog posts out of those on your money site where once again, you’re publishing the question plus the answer. You can create a table of contents at the top of the page Marco stop me from getting too deep here. But with a table of contents with jump links, anchor links, right that jump down to each section that has a different question. It has the answer that links back out to the source, right, but it’s a nofollow link on the blog post. And then just like a curated post, you can inject some commentary in between that stuff, with an opening paragraph and a closing paragraph with a call to action to contact your business or your company, your client that you’re doing the work for, for help or services with that, you know, for products or services that solve those problems, those questions that make sense.
So again, guys, it’s a great strategy to use those questions as a farm those questions right mine those questions, harvest those questions or whatever you want to say from one of those from this q&a panels that pop up in the Google search results and drill down into them. You can get gold topic ideas, blog post ideas GMB post ideas from that kind of stuff.
Which Of Your Courses In Which You Teach About Making ID Pages and Mirror Gsites?
So, Alright, the last question is oh Austin Don says, which of your courses do you teach about making it pages and mirror g sites? Well the mastermind, RYS reloaded local GMB Pro, any one of those three the mastermind local GMB Pro or RYS reloaded what it was, it’s covered in all three of those locations. So, am I missing any here guys?
Marco: I don’t think you did. Okay.
Bradley: Adam, you want to chime in? All right, last is not really a question. It’s just a comment and then we’re going to wrap it up, guys. I’ve got a TV repairman showing up in about five minutes. Anyways, I asked the question about GMBs and review in one location versus all the states that clients the Klein operates and this was that question about Texas and five additional states. We answered previously he says no follow up question. I just wanted to say thank you for answering it and you knocked it out of the park. I’ve wrestled with this in my head for a week and you made it clear as day thanks again, guys for all that you do. You’re very welcome. That’s what this venue is for. Anything else guys?
Marco: No, not unless another question popped up now. on the page,
Adam: I think you just scroll over Bradley, but the last call for everybody. Head over there. Just follow the instructions on Facebook get early access to the YouTube and UTM course Bradley’s going to be put together here over the holidays and save a bundle but like they said to if you want to wait a little bit and pay us three times too much more. So okay with that.
Bradley: And let’s go ahead. I was gonna say I actually prefer that. But, you know, I want you guys to save that additional $200 to spend it on your family’s at Christmas. So
Marco: and stop by the mastermind tomorrow. The webinar, because we’re going to show how much we’ve improved the user experience. Want to show how easy it is to find the information now before it was just okay, how do I get through five years of information? Yeah, because we have five years worth of videos in there in the archives, right? So just the latest videos. It’s everything since we started. As I did you get through all that, well, now we made it really simple for you to get through it.
Bradley: That’s been a long time coming. There’s just so much damn content, so much video-based content and long mastermind webinars. It’s been hard to, for people to find stuff and that’s a problem we’ve been dealing with for a long time. And we Marco has been working on it in the background for since I think January of this year, maybe February, but it’s been a long time. And now it’s here. It’s ready. So it’s awesome. It’s a big, big improvement. So, all right, everybody, thanks for being here. We’ll see some of you tomorrow, the rest of you next week. Awesome. Bye, everyone. Bye, everyone.

Well, I’ve been personally working really hard and incorporating some really not gonna say what it is, but some just some really neat things into the Mastermind to make the user experience to and to make people finding what they’re looking for. To make that way better to improve the experience so that people can come in and find exactly what they’re looking for, where it is, you know, so whatever it is that you’re trying to find, Marco will talk shit about Google on and I can’t remember when Well, it’s not finished, not 100% because there is artificial intelligence involved. And interestingly enough the world is the SEO world is an uproar because of BERT, and we’re actually using BERT in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind so again, mastermind being a member of the Semantic Mastermind does have its privileges because you’re first to get everything that we do business building and ideas and concepts, and all of these different things. Hey, on tomorrow’s mastermind webinar will be talking about BERT and AI and what it is actually, because you see all of these discussions and all of these forums and then all these Facebook groups, and nobody has an I’m not going to drop an F-bomb here. Nobody has an effing clue as to what it is that they’re talking. They don’t know what BERT is. And all you have to do is go into the documentation to see what BERT is and what it does. And you’ll know that it’s absolutely nothing to worry about. Absolutely nothing because of the way that we teach you how to do things in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind. So not only does it have its privileges in that we give you cutting it and anything that we can do to make your Your life easier to enter to make, whether its clients whether tank, whatever it is, it’s there and we give it to people but it’s also we try to make your life easier. We try to do all of these different things. Because you’re a member of the Semantic Mastery Mastermind. It’s included in the membership fee, nobody will have to pay extra for all the work that went into the back end of the mastermind to make things so much better. So, I’m sorry, it seems like it’s a pitch fest for the mastermind. And I should be pitching the hell out of it. Because it’s so good. We get testimonials time and again, of how well our stuff works. And so yeah, we should be here, tooting our own horns and singing our praises and whatever. I’m not going to go into that anymore. Just I’m just letting people know if you’re in the Semantic Mastery <stermind, be there tomorrow and see just how much we have improved the learning experience. Let’s call it
Adam: Amen. got one more to add on to that you guys are now made a post believe on November 4 about big news for Bradley. Bradley is going to be putting together some training, we decided based on the response. There’s still a little bit of time if you want to get down on this, and what it is, is step by step program on how to grow, grow a massive brand using YouTube and GDN, Ads. And, you know, we just want to engage, because we have, especially Bradley didn’t want to be putting in a lot of time and effort doing the training, you know, right leading up into the holidays if people weren’t interested. But so far, we’ve got 71 comments, people interested in early access at a hell of a discount. So I’m going to put the link in if you want to get in on that. Just comment, leave a GIF or a comment on the Facebook thread and we will be in touch with you shortly. We’re going to have some information that information about that going up. Hernan says let me in I think he got booted from the from Hump Day Hangouts.
Bradley: He’s back in
Adam: Alright, well, guys, with that said, we got anything else before we get into questions here.
Bradley: I’ll just give a little update on a couple of things. Number one, we’ve got anybody that joined Local Kingpin, which was the Google Ads training for using search ads for lead generation. That’s going to be an update webinar on Monday. Because the interface has changed so much the principles, the method is still pretty much the same, though. There’s just some slight differences that I’m going to cover. And the interface, Google Ads interface has changed a lot. Plus they’ve got a lot of new or improved features, such as automated bidding strategies and things like that, that I used to suggest never to use, but they’ve gotten so much better over the last year and a half, two years because of AI and it’s so much better. So artificial intelligence. And so we’re going to talk about that slightly plus any questions that anybody has So that’ll be Monday, it’ll be probably only about an hour long. That’s just for me to give an update and answer questions. So if you’re in Local Kingpin, I encourage you to get signed up for that.
Also, the Google Ads course that Adam was just talking about, that I’m going to be starting in two weeks, I think it’s one and I say we’re going to do that. I think Monday, the 25th is going to be the first webinar and that’ll be about 90 minutes, maybe longer if there’s, you know, a lot of Q&A at the end, and then December 9th, and that’s going to be a two-part deal. The first one will be about YouTube ads and how to use that for branding. And for not not not so much lead generation it will produce leads, but it’s not a direct lead generator, it it will but it’s more about branding, and also driving relevant traffic into your digital assets. So your entity essentially. So we’re going to talk about YouTube on the first webinar. And then on the second webinar. Again, that’ll be December 9th. We’re going to talk about using the Google Display Network. So it’s good Google Ads training specifically for YouTube and the Google Display Network for setting up branding campaigns which works incredibly well for both building brand awareness but also for generating relevant targeted traffic from specific audiences from specific geo locations if it’s for local into your entities, your digital assets for a particular brand which is great for SEO. So it’s a way for using Google ads to not only produce relevant traffic but improve brand awareness as well as help the SEO that your any SEO work that you’re doing, because you’re driving relevant, targeted traffic from known audiences and Google to your SEO as your assets that you’ve been doing SEO work on. And that takes care of ART right – relevance, trust, and authority. Google understands that that’s that recognize that traffic is an activity. It’s relevant because it’s from known audiences and specific geolocation if that’s if it’s for local you can target by geolocation, and it’s also trusted, trusted and authority trusted traffic because it’s coming from Google’s known Google’s audience buckets. And essentially, so it’s going to be it’s very, very powerful. I’ve just been crushing it with Google ads for clients over the last several months. And it just works really, really well. And I’ve been using them for my own business as well. And it’s, it’s just a great, great strategy. So that said, it’s, um, it’s going to be a pre, like right now you can get in for like, the pre-training special or whatever, where it’s, it’s a third of what it’s going to be once I’m done recording those webinars, it’s going to be packaged up and sold for probably 300 bucks, or right right, right around there. So if you want to get in for a third of that, I would recommend that you go check out the post that Adam posted, comment on it and then get signed up. Okay. All right.
Marco: So they’re more than welcome to wait and pay us more later. Yeah, that’s fine too. But I would suggest for people not to wait.
Bradley: Alright, so can we get into it? Now,
Adam: let’s do it.
Bradley: All right, we got the screen. Okay, somebody confirm.
Adam: Good to go.
Bradley: Okay, so everybody can see my humping Wednesday meme GIFs alright. Hump Day right, Wednesday.
How Would You Add Relevancy To Your Money Site Using Drive Stacks?
So, Alright, so the first questions are and it’s multiple questions. It’s 13 pages worth of questions from Fred Wilson and Fred. Well, I appreciate your and I really do. I appreciate your questions. That’s a bit much for Hump Day Hangouts. And also, it’s getting a little bit into the weeds for stuff that we would typically only cover in this much depth in mastermind, which I’m sure you’re fully aware of that, as a former mastermind member, or an RYS Academy reloaded specifically since it’s so it pertains to drive stack stuff and kind of deep into the weeds. But with that said, Marco, how much of this do you want to answer?
Marco: I haven’t really re-read the question. So,
Bradley: Yeah. So should I give you about 10 minutes to get through it?
Marco: All right. Do you have a general question that you can add the I’d be more than happy to answer general questions, but if it’s something that’s specific, yeah, that again, membership has its privileges and this things that I’m only answer for paying members and I mean, that that’s just that’s the way it should be. I’m sure that people who have paid three $4,000 for the course would appreciate me keeping the secret sauce in where it belongs.
Bradley: Yeah. And I agree and that, you know, I’ve read through the first two sections of this three-part question this three-section question, and I realized that it’s, it’s a lot more in-depth than what we would typically answer on a free Hump Day hangout because it’s getting into very specific tactics. From RYS reloaded, we would cover it also in the mastermind, I’m sure. But this is not something that we can get that deep into it. That said, I’ll give you kind of a general overview, and I’ll kind of answer it and let you take add to it, Marco, and then we’ll move on to the next one. So Fred, we would welcome you back to the mastermind at any moment.
If we’re going to RYS Reloaded, either one of those would be good places to get this particular question answered. But that said, He’s talking about his food business, his food tour business and talking about how to add additional relevancy. He did some keyword theme research using SEM Rush and looking at some of the competitors and found that there is some other keywords other than just food tour type keywords that can help to add relevancy that are kind of associated with the food tour business, but he hasn’t been targeting them. And so the question is would adding in some of these other types of keyboard themes into the drive stack folders as subfolders within food tour folders, would that help to add relevancy? And because of the association that Google’s is showing? And so I mean, to me, you’ve already answered your question. Yes. You know, if there’s if there’s a way to create that association, that you’re you’ve discovered by doing some additional research, looking at competitors using some tools like sem rush and all of that kind of stuff, then yeah, you can you can add that additional relevancy into your drive stack. And that’s going to certainly help. I don’t know if you want to go further than that. Marco.
Marco: Yeah. Just a little bit, because, I mean, I can answer this generally we go after, especially the way that our keyword research VA is being taught, we go after anything that Google considers relevant. In a keyword, research cake, and we give you guys whoever orders the gig, the deep keyword research, all of that information. We do separate the movie will give you tasks will give you silos will give you information that we feel is where the money makers are, what the relevant keywords are, and maybe something that that that that isn’t a money keyword, but Google still thinks that that is relevant. All of that is necessary because what we do inside the drive stack is create relevantly and push. Right? We create a relevance push from everything that we do from the spider web silo to the way that the drive stack is built to the way that the G site is built to the way the inner pages are done to the way that we mimic what’s on the website. So yes, by all means, I don’t care. We do use SEM Rush for keyword relevance, but that’s not necessarily what will target what we do is we use Jeffrey Smith’s Ultimate SEO Bootcamp training. And we go according to how he teaches what the top-level categories are. Then from there, work down and create the silos there, you will create three silos. But everything that’s relevant should be at it. Remember when Network Empire started talking about color, current stuff, it’s not, it’s not there. But they began talking about it. And they began explaining it more what it was all about, what it means. And really, that’s what we’re trying to do. We’re trying to create all of this in a self-contained Google environment for the bot to feed on, which is, that’s exactly what we’re doing.
Is It Safe Against Plagiarism To Curate Content With Attribution From Google Snippet?
Bradley: Yeah. And so the next question part of this, which it’s kinda interesting that you asked this, Fred because we covered this, our own our very own data. You know, master link builder, was at our live event, hopefully, live 2019 in Denver, just recently, and he was talking about doing something similar that you’re asking about, which is adding q&a. Questions and Answers into a doc within your Gsite within your drive stack and just linking back to the source but not actually hyperlinking just putting like the text-based link. So you’re providing a citation, but what so you’re citing the source, right? So you’re providing attribution, but you’re not hyperlinking back. I would say that should be okay, provided you’re not copying, you know, if you’re just copying snippets, like what is shown in the Google search results for the q amp a section. So when you search for a question in Google, and it brings up that featured snippet, which is a q amp a box, right, and it’s got the dropdowns, and you click the drop-down, and then it shows a short it shows the full question and then a short answer and a link back to the source where it’s pulling that answer from that question and answer from you can embed that or you know, kind of copy and paste that into a Google doc or something like that. And then still late as long as you’re not expanding by going to the actual destination URL and copying more of the content. It’s just a snippet. So it falls under the same rules of curating content would be on a blog post in that, if you’re just highlighting, you know, reusing republishing a short snippet from somebody else’s content, and then you’re providing attribution citing the source, then it should be okay. Now, some people, some publishers will still make eventually, you know, sometimes they may find it and they may request that you unpublish it. But as far as it being a copyright infringement, as long as it’s just a small snippet, and it’s you’re citing the source, it should, it should never be an issue. Although like I said, out of courtesy, if anybody ever were to contact you and say Please take this down or unpublished this, then you know, I would recommend that you just do it to avoid any sort of, you know, some sort of stupid battle that could ensue. Although again, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it legally because you are citing the source and it falls within a specific brand. Members of the DMC act right there were the digital, whatever Copyright Act. So I would just, you know, encourage you not to go any further than what is shown in the snippets and the featured snippets within Google search.
That said, also, you’re asked about curating a lot of content about a topic putting it inside the drive stack, then putting links to your money site, the correct way to push relevancy for your money site? Again, yes, you can do that. The same thing is by curating content on your money site, you can do that. Right. So think about that. That’s what we’ve taught for years is the best way to generate content before even money site blog posts unless you’re a subject matter expert and you’re creating 100% original content. The problem with that is even as an as a subject matter expert, sometimes you get you run out of ideas. But there are a ton of other subject matter experts. I’m not talking about buying shitty content farm content, I’m talking about locating subject Matter content written by subject matter experts pertaining to your topic, right or your niche your industry, and then republishing, once again snippets of it, and giving credit to where it’s, you know, citing the source giving attribution. And in the case of curating on a blog, your money site blog, you know, we always recommend hyperlinking to the source. And just using nofollow External links, that’s what I’ve always done. Um, but that’s very, very powerful. Because once again, you can create an original article out of using snippets of other people’s content, where you’re just adding commentary and opening paragraph commentary in between pieces of curated content, which doesn’t have to be just articles, it can be videos, infographics, don’t curate images. Please don’t do that. You can. That’s a no-no, but you can curate infographics, videos, mp3, so audio files, you know, other articles, you can curate all that kind of stuff. And it helps because it allows you to be able to produce content very quickly, inexpensively. And you can even train a virtual assistant, somebody that’s not a subject matter expert how to locate good content, and compile it in a logical fashion, and then just add commentary. So in other words, you know, you can come up with a topic for a blog post, find supporting articles or even differing opinion articles, right so that you can do a compare and contrast or pros and cons or argue both sides of a topic in particular curated article if that makes sense. It’s very, very powerful. And it’s a great way to create co-citation, which is similar to co-occurrence in that you’re linking out to other relevant sources. And so again, we talked about all of that in content kingpin, it’s a training course that is still 100% relevant today. I still use that for all of my clients, that same exact method for curating content for all of my clients. You can apply that to drive stack stuff to you’re still going to build that relevancy, topical relevancy. Just make sure you’re Giving attribution even if you’re not hyperlinking to it, I recommend you absolutely always give credit where credit is due. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: No, I totally agree. It’s a matter of mirroring right? Everything that you would do on the money site you do on the drive stack and Gsite, including curating content. That’s right.
How Do You Add A Schema Markup To A Local Business Press Release?
Okay, cool. Well, the next question is from Kaydee. Hi, guys. How do you add schema markup to press releases for a local business? Press advantage sent an email with a link to Google structured data markup helper tool to create the code but on the page, it is asking to select a data type and then paste your URL of the page you wish to mark up. What URL do we enter here? I don’t know. Because I don’t use that tool. I’m going to point out another one here for you in a moment. The press release is not yet published. So it has no URL to target the markup and the data type is to tick in and the data type to tick is a local business. Thanks to know and here’s why. Because if you’re if you have your own press advantage account, or even if you Buy him through MGYB. And we set up an organization page or you set it up through your own account, right? So you set up an organization page, that’s where you should have your local business markup. If it’s, you know, an organization page for local business, you should have your local business structured data markup in the organization page, right, which will get added to all of the press releases that get pushed out. And some may not all, but many of the publisher sites that were they get published to will actually pick up that JSON LD code for local business markup. Okay, so you add that to your organization page. However, I’ve got a press advantage open here. Let’s see if it hopefully it brings me into the same standby I’m gonna have to pause my screen for a moment because of it my plugin that reset my browser that Marco pointed out, a reset my reset the tab, so give me one second while I get what you’re looking for.
Marco: Let me just tell people That if your press release gets published and you go and look at some of the websites were able to publish, and you don’t see the schema markup, but you don’t see an iframe that you send out or whatever, that’s not on us. It’s not even on press advantage. It’s actually on that website, not wanting, you know, stripping out all of the code. But what we want anyway, is we want to get that in as many places as we can. And that’s why I go it goes out to the entire publication network, but not every website will publish whatever it is that you submitted, just did just to make it clear to everyone because we do get support tickets about that. And it’s like, yeah, there’s nothing that we could do.
Bradley: Yeah, so to show you what I’m talking about. First of all, if we go to press advantage for the organization, which I should I forgot I got my ID page looped into this is going to break the browser. Let me see if I can get to Page Source before it shuts everything down. Um, Alright, so let’s see if it’ll pull this up. It might not. Okay, there we go. So if we scroll down, we’ll see right here is my local business structure data markup starting right here. From here to there. That’s my local business structure data markup, that’s part of the organization page. Right. And so again, as Marco just mentioned, some sites when we publish when it distributes the press releases, it has this codependent to it. You know, it started with it with the press release, but some sites will pick it up and publish that JSON LD code as well. What I think you’re talking about is for individual press releases, so here I am inside the dashboard. If you scroll down now there’s a section says enter JSON LD schema, this will be attached to the release in addition to any organization-specific schema. So that’s what I was talking about before. If it’s a local business, you want it which is what I was showing here. You want to have local business structure data markup on the page, right that their organization page, but then For the individual, a press release, excuse me, you can add additional schema markup here. So what I would recommend here and you know you can do other stuff too depends on what you’re having published. But what I would recommend is going to and this is a tool that I use most of the time, we’re going to have one in MGYB here shortly, I’m not sure if it’s available yet. But this is the one that I’ve been using for quite some time.
If you just go to Google and search for schema markup generator, look for technicalSEO.com or just go to technicalSEO.com and look for the schema markup generator, which is over here in the left sidebar. There’s different types of schema markups that this tool will generate different types of schema. And so the very first one is article click on the article and then when you look down here, when it loads this page, you come down here to Article type, and there’s actually one for news article. So select news article, and then just fill out these fields. And here’s your schema code over here on the right-hand sidebar. Once you’ve completed all these fields, Then you just copy that and paste that into Press Advantage over here. Now again, there are other types of schema that can be generated. So it depends on what the article is going to be about. But just doing news article schema markup is very, very powerful, right to add to each individual press release. Okay, so that’s what I would recommend. There are other tools out there that will generate this stuff to guys, this is just the one that I typically use. Okay. There’s a good question. Now, by the way, that said, I gotta tease this a little bit. I’m inside my blog for that same company, I was just sharing my real estate business. And this we’ve got coming soon. We’ve got some pretty cool stuff coming up. And like the plugin will generate this Jeffrey Smith plugin, but it’s the pro version, which isn’t released yet, but it’s coming soon. And it’s got all the schema markup generator right inside WordPress for all every different type of schema, you can think of. It’s fabulous. And so that same type that same article markup right there, if we come down here, there’s an article type, blog posting or news article. And then I can just fill out all this stuff. It creates the code right down here and embeds it into the header of this particular blog post. And I can click update, and boom, that’s going to have the same type of Article markup that we were just sharing. Pretty powerful stuff. So be on the lookout for that guys soon, early next year. That was a good tease. Right, guys?
Marco: Perfect.
Can You Embed The Website Pages In The GSite When Mirroring?
All right. Next one is Simon. He says We’re marrying the main website to the G site. Can you just embed the website pages on the site pages? Or is it necessary to copy and paste the content for each website page on to the G site pages, I just use the embeds. I’m lazy like that, right. I work on the money site pages. That’s what I flush out with good content. And I mirror them onto the site. And then I just and I do some other really cool stuff. We’ve been talking about how I do silos now. locations. So there’s topical silos and in location-based silos, but I do it in a very unique way. And it works really well, especially when you use a G site. And yeah, all I do is grab the embed or create an iframe out of the money site pages, and embed them into the G site page, then I optimize the title of the G site page, obviously. And then, you know, you can mirror that into a folder inside of your folder and files inside of your drive stack. And then just smash that shit with embeds and or links, or both. And it works really, really well hit ever remember, that’s your SEO shield. So we do everything externally to the SEO shield, right? So that would be the G site the drive stack and all of the tier one entity assets, which by the way, you can actually take those iframe into your syndication network properties to guys think about that. So right, there’s no reason you can’t push those embeds through to your syndication network properties too. good question though,
Does Proper Schema Markup Feed The Bot Enough And Not To Worry About Creating Long Articles?
Paul Thompson says, Does proper schema markup feed the bot enough that we don’t need to worry about creating long articles on the pages we want to rank? No, but it does. It does definitely help a lot. Marco is probably going to be better at answering this one than me. I would still for money sites stuff still flesh out the pages, but adding structured data, like what I just showed with my blog, where you were, you know, again, you can add it manually now like right now, since the pro plugins not available, this there might be other plugins out there that do it, but I don’t know if they provide the schema code that’s 100% up to date. I know that a lot of times they’re not updated enough. I’m not speaking badly about anybody else’s plugin. I just haven’t used them. But you can have like a code insert or plugin right so like. SoGo ad scripts header, footer and things like that header, footer type script plugins where you can add scripts into the head section or foot section or body section of any individual page or post, and you can go use schema creators like what I just shared, and create schema markup and and then put them into each one of your posts or pages or whatever, so that you’re adding additional, you know, schema structured data that the bots love and I mean, that’s guys, you’re you’ll you’ll have an edge over a lot of your competitors if you do that kind of stuff. But I would still recommend that for money site stuff, you flush the content, the content of the page out to. Marco, what say you
Marco: Yeah, I mean that absolutely. Two things right. structured and unstructured data structured data is for the bot feed the bot as much as you can, which is exactly what we do. And why we use drive stacks and Gsites and iframe and everything that the entities entity stack, and everything else that we don’t I mean that it there’s a method to our madness. Now, if you then go and you send a person to a page. And now we’re talking about people, we’re not talking about bots, because what’s going to happen is you’re going to rank. And that’s going to bring your traffic onto the page. And if there’s nothing on that page to engage the person, then we no longer care about the but now we care about that person coming to the website and converting, finishing the action that they were set out to do, because if that person comes on the website and bounces, then you did you defeated the entire purpose of creating the all of the stacking that we created in the first place, which was to get that person onto the page that would convert them over an image is going to convert them of an image is going to get them to push and call whatever it is that you need to be done. To finish that, that then that’s what’s going to matter. So, two different things. If you need the content to rank you have to look at the competition. If you can rank or outrank the competition without 2000 or 3000 words of content, By all means, nobody, and nobody’s going to sit there and go through the 3000 words of content on this is a really interested in whatever it is that you have to say. what you’re interested in, is that conversion, because that’s what centers everything at the end. And that’s what Google is going to look at from beginning to end is whether that task and that goal. Well, whether it was accomplished.
How Do You Setup A GMB Page For A Business That Operates In Multiple States?
Awesome, thanks, Marco. So the next question was from jack, I’m not the next question is my client is based out of Texas but operates in five other states fully across the states not limited to anyone Metro region. What’s the best way to set up the company GMB page, so reviews for one state aggregate under the main company as well. Or if that’s not possible, what would be the best way to go about setting up the GMB either individually and each state Or globally under some other configuration? Well, remember Google My Business is supposed to be especially now there’s another question I see on the page here a little bit lower about what happened on November 8. And from my understanding, which I’ve only done very, I’ve only kind of read through some comments and stuff, is that it was more it was basically an update to the maps algorithm for GMB stuff. And it’s gone even more proximity-based. So they’ve Google’s tightened the proximity filter, so to speak. And so with that said, Google, my business is supposed to be for local businesses, right? I mean, we’ve talked about setting up GMBs and you know, setting your service area, the United States, for example, and that’s okay, but it’s not it’s okay for like the entity but it’s not going to help you to rank anywhere in the United States and maps. That said, you’re also in this case, you’re talking about five different states. They’re located in Texas but they operate in five other states. So you potentially you could have if you have an office and in each of their other states, you could have GMB for each office location. It’s not necessary but you can. That said if you wanted to get reviews and let’s just say Arizona, I’m just assuming let’s just say that that’s one of the states that you operate in. If you get reviews in Arizona, but you want them to populate on the Texas GMB if that’s the way you have it set up. It’s not you can’t do that. If you had a gym be in Arizona, I mean, if all you have is the one Google My Business location in Texas, then it doesn’t matter where you get the reviews from. They’re all going to aggregate on that one and only Google My Business location. My point that I’m trying to make is you cannot get GMB reviews in one location and have them also populate onto another GMB location. You can’t do that. It because each GMB entity or location is supposed to be it’s own and collect its own or, you know, aggregate its own reviews. So that said, You know, I would, I would consider what it is you’re trying to do. As far as if you have multiple GMBs, which I’m not sure that you do, but if you do, then what I would recommend you do is set up use some sort of review directing app. I know for contractors, one of the ones that work really well as birdeye.com. I think another one might be Podium, I’ve not used that. But what are some of my contractor clients use Bird Eye, and that works well, but it’s like a review gate, right? So it would be an app where you send out to customers, or clients or whatever the company or the business sends out to customers and ask for some listen to review or at ask for a review. And then somebody leaves a review and it directs the app can direct where the review gets published to if that makes sense. So you have more control over it that way and if it’s you know, below three stars, then it can be not posted as a review. Instead, it could be brought to, you know, sent to the customer service team so that they can reach out and try to resolve potential issues, that kind of stuff, I would look into something like that if you’re trying to have more control over where your reviews are coming from and where they’re going to be posted to. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: Yeah, I’m just guessing that his client and whatever it is that they’re doing that it triggers a three-pack, right? It triggers a map pack and it triggers map rankings if that’s the case. Then get a map wherein each one of the places where where your client operate, and associate everything to the main entity, that’s how Texas so then the AI which is sophisticated enough to then understand once you begin associating all of these to understand that it’s all part of the same company with it’s a company that operates out of Texas but has regional offices in five other states. So that if you do get a review, for example, in Texas for the company in another state, it could be taken into consideration. I’m not saying that the AI is that sophisticated, but it could mean at some point it will be, it will be able to understand all of these different relationships and put everything together. And if you do a really good job in your structured data of putting all of this together for the buck, then you won’t even have to leave it to the bot to guess and try to understand what this is all about. You can tell it you can go with everything in JSON LD to tell about what this is all about. Having done that, then you don’t have to worry about reviewing everything, or aggregating everything under the main company, it will all be taken together because everything is associated if you’ve done your job correctly. Now, if it’s globally that we’re not worrying about maps, and then the reviews wouldn’t even come into play, unless you have unless you can trigger a knowledge And that’s a totally different story.
Bradley: Yeah, and if that’s the case, if it was globally then I would just have all reviews going to the one GMB asset, wherever the primary location is, because then all you’re trying to do is build the brand, not individual locations, right?
What Are Your Insights On The Reported Traffic Drop Last November 8, 2019?
So Ross says, Hey, everyone, and then he’s got the follow-up question below, which I’ll just that’s what and now come back to Joey’s question where he says Ross is new here. What the hell happened on November 8, lots of traffic drops and the insight and that’s what I was just talking about, as far as I know. I’m sure Marco’s got more insight on this than I do. Because I don’t geek out about this stuff anymore. If I don’t see major drops in my stuff, I don’t worry about it. So but apparently the what it from what I understand it was another maps update where it looks like they tightened the proximity filter to where it’s it’s even narrower now. Is that correct? Marco?
Marco: That’s absolutely correct. They tighten up on the proximity. And proximity is a ranking factor, it’s we can literally call it the most important ranking factor, although you can still overcome. That’s why we don’t usually see all of these changes in the things that we do. Because you can overcome anything, any part of the algorithm, you can overcome it. And people are saying that well don’t use brute force. Don’t do this. Don’t do that. You can totally overcome anything through what they call it in the Rocky movie, good old fashioned blunt force trauma. And that’s just feeding the but just a whole lot of related information, wherever it is that you that you’re trying to expand to. So even though even if the proximity factor is the main ranking factor, there are other ranking factors that can and do come into play, if you can overcome that one factor. So is that something to just totally say, Oh my god, now I have to go get a DMB in eternity. City, not only in the area where I am but in the surrounding areas, it’s being able to overcome that proximity factor. And we do it and we do a really good job of teaching that in local GSB Pro. And now, you know being at the location and being able to upload images and being able to show Google that you’re actually there and that everything is actually from that location has become more important than ever.
Bradley: Yes, very good.
Does The Size Of Embeds Matter?
So let’s jump back to Joey’s question. It says hi, does the size of embeds matter? In other words, embedding a 10 by 10 GMB site is still the equivalent of embedding a 600 by 300. So the frame could be one by 110 by 10 or 600 by 300. And you still pass the juice Thank you. I’m size doesn’t matter. Only because if you have it too small, then that could be considered cloaking. Am I correct in that statement?
Marco: Yeah, yeah, you could, you could be tagged For cloaking, although it’s really hard if I mean if you do it right there no word. Most people can’t do it right, which is why we don’t even teach it.
Bradley: Yeah. I mean, technically Yes, you can still pass the SEO with the iframe present even if it’s a one by one pixel.
Marco: Even if it’s a zero by zero
Bradley: Yeah, it technically you can absolutely do that. I wouldn’t recommend it if you know, because if anybody manually reviews it and saw it, then they could, you know, they could flag you for manual action. So
Marco: that would be the biggest problem right with someone coming in and actually, you triggering, First of all, triggering enough red flags to trigger a manual review so that someone from Google would actually come to your website because nobody trusts you’re not making enough money now. Nobody. Most people are making enough money to worry about Google to have someone waste all of their valuable resources on looking at your fucking website in the first place. If you do get that big or if just if you just happen to get unlucky enough to trigger a manual, and they come and see that zero by zero thing, yes, that is cloaking. There’s no reason for you to have a zero by zero iframe one by one unless it’s a pixel, right? Facebook, Google, whatever, if it’s unless it’s tracking code. So they come in and look and they see code and it looks fishy. You’re more likely to get hit with a manual and probably deindex, because I’ve seen cloaking get hit really, really hard.
Bradley: Yeah, agreed. Okay, so we’ll say, Hey, Marco, have you announced the date of the four webinars for Bert? I guess that’s for the charity stuff.
Marco: Yeah, no, I’m still working on that. It’s not only BERT, but I’m also going to go into entities and AI and NLP and what it actually is what it isn’t. We’re gonna we’re going to discuss and talk about everything that that other People just either refused to talk about, or they don’t know enough about it to be able to discuss it. As soon as I have it already, I’m going to announce it. I’m going to announce the date I’m going to give you the donation page. And remember this all goes to a really good cause it’s getting kids who would otherwise not be able to get an education getting them into school, so that they can get a good education get trained to get jobs and, you know, have a chance at life.
Bradley: Very cool. Alright, the next one, Fred says I was worried that that might be a problem. So that’s because I was kind of tongue in cheek picking. That is a huge, long question. He says, thanks so much for answering my 13 pages of questions. It helped a lot. Thanks, guys. You’re welcome, Fred.
What Is The Difference Between Q&A and FAQ?
Fit. So what’s up? 50 says what is the difference between Q&A and FAQ? Well, it’s, it’s kind of the same thing or it’s very closely related. Q&A is most of the time would like You can see in the SERPs is what I was talking about earlier. But FAQs that can be a little bit more specific to an individual like a business. Right? So I mean, they’re kind of basically the same. As far as schema markup, it’s the same. But what I mean the difference is frequently asked questions are should be answered by a client or business, right? Like, what is the questions that they get? asked the most by prospects and or customers or clients? Right? And they should have answers to that. But when it comes to q amp, a, what I’m what these, the way that I look at it is when you go to Google and you search for question, you’ll see related questions that get asked enough that somebody took the time to create content around answering that question, and then marking it up correctly on their website so that they could get added to the featured snippets in Google search. So it stands to reason that that question gets asked enough. It might be a frequently asked question for another business that maybe your particular client or business doesn’t get asked that much, but it’s still relevant. That makes sense. So they’re very closely related, but there is a slight difference, at least in my opinion.
Marco: Yeah, the difference is that that Q&A, people should be able to either ask questions or answer questions on the website, if they’re not able, if they’re your frequently asked questions and your answers are there’s no way for users to engage with that. Then it’s FAQ frequently asked questions. Q&A, again, is on a website where people can go in and interact with the questions and the answer. Yeah.
Bradley: Yeah, guys, it you know, I’ve talked about this probably in Syndication Academy. And I’ll probably I’ll just give this give another nugget away here because it works really well. And we’re almost out of time. So anyway, those Q&A questions that you can curate, right from Google and the beautiful thing about it is if you type in a question about product service in an industry whatever the questions box comes up now what the drop-downs each time you click on a drop-down, it brings up like three or four more questions. So like you can just keep drilling down into those guys and that gives you almost unlimited content. Like, Think about it. It’s a content hack, right, you can grab a question and an answer from those Question and Answer boxes that Google provides you and use that in GMB posts for example, right, just cite the source just like I was talking about earlier is the in the Q&A box right that the dropdown. as it expands, it gives you the snippet with the answer at least a partial answer. It might not be the full answer, but it gives a snippet and then it has the link to read more. Well, you can still use that link in the GMB post too so you give proper credit to where it’s due. That’s a nofollow link and a GMB post the button link right, and a GMB post. So the button URL, the URL that you attach to the call to action button. That is a dofollow link, although I here in just the past few days probably since November 8. Some of those are nofollow. And I think it’s just because Google is still tinkering around in there. But those are dofollow links. So you can still link back to the answer, have a QA, write a question and answer that you curate it you basically are republishing from Google’s own search results, to add relevancy to the GMB. You can do this on your money site too and link back to the source which is only proper and right. But then use the button URL in the GMB post the link back to your money site, right to your page that also is about that very topic or question and answer right so you again, you’re it’s creating co-citation. It’s creating topical relevancy, and you don’t even have to come up with the content. You can even go through and curate groups of questions like question and then create blog posts out of those on your money site where once again, you’re publishing the question plus the answer. You can create a table of contents at the top of the page Marco stop me from getting too deep here. But with a table of contents with jump links, anchor links, right that jump down to each section that has a different question. It has the answer that links back out to the source, right, but it’s a nofollow link on the blog post. And then just like a curated post, you can inject some commentary in between that stuff, with an opening paragraph and a closing paragraph with a call to action to contact your business or your company, your client that you’re doing the work for, for help or services with that, you know, for products or services that solve those problems, those questions that make sense.
So again, guys, it’s a great strategy to use those questions as a farm those questions right mine those questions, harvest those questions or whatever you want to say from one of those from this q&a panels that pop up in the Google search results and drill down into them. You can get gold topic ideas, blog post ideas GMB post ideas from that kind of stuff.
Which Of Your Courses In Which You Teach About Making ID Pages and Mirror Gsites?
So, Alright, the last question is oh Austin Don says, which of your courses do you teach about making it pages and mirror g sites? Well the mastermind, RYS reloaded local GMB Pro, any one of those three the mastermind local GMB Pro or RYS reloaded what it was, it’s covered in all three of those locations. So, am I missing any here guys?
Marco: I don’t think you did. Okay.
Bradley: Adam, you want to chime in? All right, last is not really a question. It’s just a comment and then we’re going to wrap it up, guys. I’ve got a TV repairman showing up in about five minutes. Anyways, I asked the question about GMBs and review in one location versus all the states that clients the Klein operates and this was that question about Texas and five additional states. We answered previously he says no follow up question. I just wanted to say thank you for answering it and you knocked it out of the park. I’ve wrestled with this in my head for a week and you made it clear as day thanks again, guys for all that you do. You’re very welcome. That’s what this venue is for. Anything else guys?
Marco: No, not unless another question popped up now. on the page,
Adam: I think you just scroll over Bradley, but the last call for everybody. Head over there. Just follow the instructions on Facebook get early access to the YouTube and UTM course Bradley’s going to be put together here over the holidays and save a bundle but like they said to if you want to wait a little bit and pay us three times too much more. So okay with that.
Bradley: And let’s go ahead. I was gonna say I actually prefer that. But, you know, I want you guys to save that additional $200 to spend it on your family’s at Christmas. So
Marco: and stop by the mastermind tomorrow. The webinar, because we’re going to show how much we’ve improved the user experience. Want to show how easy it is to find the information now before it was just okay, how do I get through five years of information? Yeah, because we have five years worth of videos in there in the archives, right? So just the latest videos. It’s everything since we started. As I did you get through all that, well, now we made it really simple for you to get through it.
Bradley: That’s been a long time coming. There’s just so much damn content, so much video-based content and long mastermind webinars. It’s been hard to, for people to find stuff and that’s a problem we’ve been dealing with for a long time. And we Marco has been working on it in the background for since I think January of this year, maybe February, but it’s been a long time. And now it’s here. It’s ready. So it’s awesome. It’s a big, big improvement. So, all right, everybody, thanks for being here. We’ll see some of you tomorrow, the rest of you next week. Awesome. Bye, everyone. Bye, everyone.

Chris: Are you guys celebrating 11th of November as well?
Adam: Um, no, is that a thing?
Chris: I didn't know. Like, I noticed there was were all kinds of like online sales on the 11th of November. So I was actually quite surprised.
Adam: 11 11 maybe just like making use of the numbers. You know, right. Fair enough. Well, I missed out on that since
Bradley: it's just like every year, people start putting their Christmas trees and decorations up and the station started playing Christmas music earlier on earlier every fucking year. So I imagine Black Friday starts getting earlier on early every year now to so jet rise.

You are in fact at Hump Day Hangouts and we're going to answer your digital marketing questions shortly.

Marco: I have two public service announcements. Adams Sorry to interrupt.
Adam: Yeah, let's do it.
Marco: Black Friday will be on Wednesdays from now on. I just determined that. And to all joking aside, we always say that be and the mastermind has its privileges. Well, I've been personally working really hard and incorporating some really not gonna say what it is, but some just some really neat things into the Mastermind to make the user experience to and to make people finding what they're looking for. To make that way better to improve the experience so that people can come in and find exactly what they're looking for, where it is, you know, so whatever it is that you're trying to find, Marco will talk shit about Google on and I can't remember when Well, it's not finished, not 100% because there is artificial intelligence involved. And interestingly enough the world is the SEO world is an uproar because of BERT, and we're actually using BERT in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind so again, mastermind being a member of the Semantic Mastermind does have its privileges because you're first to get everything that we do business building and ideas and concepts, and all of these different things. Hey, on tomorrow's mastermind webinar will be talking about BERT and AI and what it is actually, because you see all of these discussions and all of these forums and then all these Facebook groups, and nobody has an I'm not going to drop an F-bomb here. Nobody has an effing clue as to what it is that they're talking. They don't know what BERT is. And all you have to do is go into the documentation to see what BERT is and what it does. And you'll know that it's absolutely nothing to worry about. Absolutely nothing because of the way that we teach you how to do things in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind. So not only does it have its privileges in that we give you cutting it and anything that we can do to make your Your life easier to enter to make, whether its clients whether tank, whatever it is, it's there and we give it to people but it's also we try to make your life easier. We try to do all of these different things. Because you're a member of the Semantic Mastery Mastermind. It's included in the membership fee, nobody will have to pay extra for all the work that went into the back end of the mastermind to make things so much better. So, I'm sorry, it seems like it's a pitch fest for the mastermind. And I should be pitching the hell out of it. Because it's so good. We get testimonials time and again, of how well our stuff works. And so yeah, we should be here, tooting our own horns and singing our praises and whatever. I'm not going to go into that anymore. Just I'm just letting people know if you're in the Semantic Mastery <stermind, be there tomorrow and see just how much we have improved the learning experience. Let's call it
Adam: Amen. got one more to add on to that you guys are now made a post believe on November 4 about big news for Bradley. Bradley is going to be putting together some training, we decided based on the response. There's still a little bit of time if you want to get down on this, and what it is, is step by step program on how to grow, grow a massive brand using YouTube and GDN, Ads. And, you know, we just want to engage, because we have, especially Bradley didn't want to be putting in a lot of time and effort doing the training, you know, right leading up into the holidays if people weren't interested. But so far, we've got 71 comments, people interested in early access at a hell of a discount. So I'm going to put the link in if you want to get in on that. Just comment, leave a GIF or a comment on the Facebook thread and we will be in touch with you shortly. We're going to have some information that information about that going up. Hernan says let me in I think he got booted from the from Hump Day Hangouts.
Bradley: He's back in
Adam: Alright, well, guys, with that said, we got anything else before we get into questions here.
Bradley: I'll just give a little update on a couple of things. Number one, we've got anybody that joined Local Kingpin, which was the Google Ads training for using search ads for lead generation. That's going to be an update webinar on Monday. Because the interface has changed so much the principles, the method is still pretty much the same, though. There's just some slight differences that I'm going to cover. And the interface, Google Ads interface has changed a lot. Plus they've got a lot of new or improved features, such as automated bidding strategies and things like that, that I used to suggest never to use, but they've gotten so much better over the last year and a half, two years because of AI and it's so much better. So artificial intelligence. And so we're going to talk about that slightly plus any questions that anybody has So that'll be Monday, it'll be probably only about an hour long. That's just for me to give an update and answer questions. So if you're in Local Kingpin, I encourage you to get signed up for that.
Also, the Google Ads course that Adam was just talking about, that I'm going to be starting in two weeks, I think it's one and I say we're going to do that. I think Monday, the 25th is going to be the first webinar and that'll be about 90 minutes, maybe longer if there's, you know, a lot of Q&A at the end, and then December 9th, and that's going to be a two-part deal. The first one will be about YouTube ads and how to use that for branding. And for not not not so much lead generation it will produce leads, but it's not a direct lead generator, it it will but it's more about branding, and also driving relevant traffic into your digital assets. So your entity essentially. So we're going to talk about YouTube on the first webinar. And then on the second webinar. Again, that'll be December 9th. We're going to talk about using the Google Display Network. So it's good Google Ads training specifically for YouTube and the Google Display Network for setting up branding campaigns which works incredibly well for both building brand awareness but also for generating relevant targeted traffic from specific audiences from specific geo locations if it's for local into your entities, your digital assets for a particular brand which is great for SEO. So it's a way for using Google ads to not only produce relevant traffic but improve brand awareness as well as help the SEO that your any SEO work that you're doing, because you're driving relevant, targeted traffic from known audiences and Google to your SEO as your assets that you've been doing SEO work on. And that takes care of ART right – relevance, trust, and authority. Google understands that that's that recognize that traffic is an activity. It's relevant because it's from known audiences and specific geolocation if that's if it's for local you can target by geolocation, and it's also trusted, trusted and authority trusted traffic because it's coming from Google's known Google's audience buckets. And essentially, so it's going to be it's very, very powerful. I've just been crushing it with Google ads for clients over the last several months. And it just works really, really well. And I've been using them for my own business as well. And it's, it's just a great, great strategy. So that said, it's, um, it's going to be a pre, like right now you can get in for like, the pre-training special or whatever, where it's, it's a third of what it's going to be once I'm done recording those webinars, it's going to be packaged up and sold for probably 300 bucks, or right right, right around there. So if you want to get in for a third of that, I would recommend that you go check out the post that Adam posted, comment on it and then get signed up. Okay. All right.
Marco: So they're more than welcome to wait and pay us more later. Yeah, that's fine too. But I would suggest for people not to wait.
Bradley: Alright, so can we get into it? Now,
Adam: let's do it.
Bradley: All right, we got the screen. Okay, somebody confirm.
Adam: Good to go.
Bradley: Okay, so everybody can see my humping Wednesday meme GIFs alright. Hump Day right, Wednesday.
How Would You Add Relevancy To Your Money Site Using Drive Stacks?
So, Alright, so the first questions are and it's multiple questions. It's 13 pages worth of questions from Fred Wilson and Fred. Well, I appreciate your and I really do. I appreciate your questions. That's a bit much for Hump Day Hangouts. And also, it's getting a little bit into the weeds for stuff that we would typically only cover in this much depth in mastermind, which I'm sure you're fully aware of that, as a former mastermind member, or an RYS Academy reloaded specifically since it's so it pertains to drive stack stuff and kind of deep into the weeds. But with that said, Marco, how much of this do you want to answer?
Marco: I haven't really re-read the question. So,
Bradley: Yeah. So should I give you about 10 minutes to get through it?
Marco: All right. Do you have a general question that you can add the I'd be more than happy to answer general questions, but if it's something that's specific, yeah, that again, membership has its privileges and this things that I'm only answer for paying members and I mean, that that's just that's the way it should be. I'm sure that people who have paid three $4,000 for the course would appreciate me keeping the secret sauce in where it belongs.
Bradley: Yeah. And I agree and that, you know, I've read through the first two sections of this three-part question this three-section question, and I realized that it's, it's a lot more in-depth than what we would typically answer on a free Hump Day hangout because it's getting into very specific tactics. From RYS reloaded, we would cover it also in the mastermind, I'm sure. But this is not something that we can get that deep into it. That said, I'll give you kind of a general overview, and I'll kind of answer it and let you take add to it, Marco, and then we'll move on to the next one. So Fred, we would welcome you back to the mastermind at any moment.
If we're going to RYS Reloaded, either one of those would be good places to get this particular question answered. But that said, He's talking about his food business, his food tour business and talking about how to add additional relevancy. He did some keyword theme research using SEM Rush and looking at some of the competitors and found that there is some other keywords other than just food tour type keywords that can help to add relevancy that are kind of associated with the food tour business, but he hasn't been targeting them. And so the question is would adding in some of these other types of keyboard themes into the drive stack folders as subfolders within food tour folders, would that help to add relevancy? And because of the association that Google's is showing? And so I mean, to me, you've already answered your question. Yes. You know, if there's if there's a way to create that association, that you're you've discovered by doing some additional research, looking at competitors using some tools like sem rush and all of that kind of stuff, then yeah, you can you can add that additional relevancy into your drive stack. And that's going to certainly help. I don't know if you want to go further than that. Marco.
Marco: Yeah. Just a little bit, because, I mean, I can answer this generally we go after, especially the way that our keyword research VA is being taught, we go after anything that Google considers relevant. In a keyword, research cake, and we give you guys whoever orders the gig, the deep keyword research, all of that information. We do separate the movie will give you tasks will give you silos will give you information that we feel is where the money makers are, what the relevant keywords are, and maybe something that that that that isn't a money keyword, but Google still thinks that that is relevant. All of that is necessary because what we do inside the drive stack is create relevantly and push. Right? We create a relevance push from everything that we do from the spider web silo to the way that the drive stack is built to the way that the G site is built to the way the inner pages are done to the way that we mimic what's on the website. So yes, by all means, I don't care. We do use SEM Rush for keyword relevance, but that's not necessarily what will target what we do is we use Jeffrey Smith's Ultimate SEO Bootcamp training. And we go according to how he teaches what the top-level categories are. Then from there, work down and create the silos there, you will create three silos. But everything that's relevant should be at it. Remember when Network Empire started talking about color, current stuff, it's not, it's not there. But they began talking about it. And they began explaining it more what it was all about, what it means. And really, that's what we're trying to do. We're trying to create all of this in a self-contained Google environment for the bot to feed on, which is, that's exactly what we're doing.
Is It Safe Against Plagiarism To Curate Content With Attribution From Google Snippet?
Bradley: Yeah. And so the next question part of this, which it's kinda interesting that you asked this, Fred because we covered this, our own our very own data. You know, master link builder, was at our live event, hopefully, live 2019 in Denver, just recently, and he was talking about doing something similar that you're asking about, which is adding q&a. Questions and Answers into a doc within your Gsite within your drive stack and just linking back to the source but not actually hyperlinking just putting like the text-based link. So you're providing a citation, but what so you're citing the source, right? So you're providing attribution, but you're not hyperlinking back. I would say that should be okay, provided you're not copying, you know, if you're just copying snippets, like what is shown in the Google search results for the q amp a section. So when you search for a question in Google, and it brings up that featured snippet, which is a q amp a box, right, and it's got the dropdowns, and you click the drop-down, and then it shows a short it shows the full question and then a short answer and a link back to the source where it's pulling that answer from that question and answer from you can embed that or you know, kind of copy and paste that into a Google doc or something like that. And then still late as long as you're not expanding by going to the actual destination URL and copying more of the content. It's just a snippet. So it falls under the same rules of curating content would be on a blog post in that, if you're just highlighting, you know, reusing republishing a short snippet from somebody else's content, and then you're providing attribution citing the source, then it should be okay. Now, some people, some publishers will still make eventually, you know, sometimes they may find it and they may request that you unpublish it. But as far as it being a copyright infringement, as long as it's just a small snippet, and it's you're citing the source, it should, it should never be an issue. Although like I said, out of courtesy, if anybody ever were to contact you and say Please take this down or unpublished this, then you know, I would recommend that you just do it to avoid any sort of, you know, some sort of stupid battle that could ensue. Although again, I don't think there's anything wrong with it legally because you are citing the source and it falls within a specific brand. Members of the DMC act right there were the digital, whatever Copyright Act. So I would just, you know, encourage you not to go any further than what is shown in the snippets and the featured snippets within Google search.
That said, also, you're asked about curating a lot of content about a topic putting it inside the drive stack, then putting links to your money site, the correct way to push relevancy for your money site? Again, yes, you can do that. The same thing is by curating content on your money site, you can do that. Right. So think about that. That's what we've taught for years is the best way to generate content before even money site blog posts unless you're a subject matter expert and you're creating 100% original content. The problem with that is even as an as a subject matter expert, sometimes you get you run out of ideas. But there are a ton of other subject matter experts. I'm not talking about buying shitty content farm content, I'm talking about locating subject Matter content written by subject matter experts pertaining to your topic, right or your niche your industry, and then republishing, once again snippets of it, and giving credit to where it's, you know, citing the source giving attribution. And in the case of curating on a blog, your money site blog, you know, we always recommend hyperlinking to the source. And just using nofollow External links, that's what I've always done. Um, but that's very, very powerful. Because once again, you can create an original article out of using snippets of other people's content, where you're just adding commentary and opening paragraph commentary in between pieces of curated content, which doesn't have to be just articles, it can be videos, infographics, don't curate images. Please don't do that. You can. That's a no-no, but you can curate infographics, videos, mp3, so audio files, you know, other articles, you can curate all that kind of stuff. And it helps because it allows you to be able to produce content very quickly, inexpensively. And you can even train a virtual assistant, somebody that's not a subject matter expert how to locate good content, and compile it in a logical fashion, and then just add commentary. So in other words, you know, you can come up with a topic for a blog post, find supporting articles or even differing opinion articles, right so that you can do a compare and contrast or pros and cons or argue both sides of a topic in particular curated article if that makes sense. It's very, very powerful. And it's a great way to create co-citation, which is similar to co-occurrence in that you're linking out to other relevant sources. And so again, we talked about all of that in content kingpin, it's a training course that is still 100% relevant today. I still use that for all of my clients, that same exact method for curating content for all of my clients. You can apply that to drive stack stuff to you're still going to build that relevancy, topical relevancy. Just make sure you're Giving attribution even if you're not hyperlinking to it, I recommend you absolutely always give credit where credit is due. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: No, I totally agree. It's a matter of mirroring right? Everything that you would do on the money site you do on the drive stack and Gsite, including curating content. That's right.
How Do You Add A Schema Markup To A Local Business Press Release?
Okay, cool. Well, the next question is from Kaydee. Hi, guys. How do you add schema markup to press releases for a local business? Press advantage sent an email with a link to Google structured data markup helper tool to create the code but on the page, it is asking to select a data type and then paste your URL of the page you wish to mark up. What URL do we enter here? I don't know. Because I don't use that tool. I'm going to point out another one here for you in a moment. The press release is not yet published. So it has no URL to target the markup and the data type is to tick in and the data type to tick is a local business. Thanks to know and here's why. Because if you're if you have your own press advantage account, or even if you Buy him through MGYB. And we set up an organization page or you set it up through your own account, right? So you set up an organization page, that's where you should have your local business markup. If it's, you know, an organization page for local business, you should have your local business structured data markup in the organization page, right, which will get added to all of the press releases that get pushed out. And some may not all, but many of the publisher sites that were they get published to will actually pick up that JSON LD code for local business markup. Okay, so you add that to your organization page. However, I've got a press advantage open here. Let's see if it hopefully it brings me into the same standby I'm gonna have to pause my screen for a moment because of it my plugin that reset my browser that Marco pointed out, a reset my reset the tab, so give me one second while I get what you're looking for.
Marco: Let me just tell people That if your press release gets published and you go and look at some of the websites were able to publish, and you don't see the schema markup, but you don't see an iframe that you send out or whatever, that's not on us. It's not even on press advantage. It's actually on that website, not wanting, you know, stripping out all of the code. But what we want anyway, is we want to get that in as many places as we can. And that's why I go it goes out to the entire publication network, but not every website will publish whatever it is that you submitted, just did just to make it clear to everyone because we do get support tickets about that. And it's like, yeah, there's nothing that we could do.
Bradley: Yeah, so to show you what I'm talking about. First of all, if we go to press advantage for the organization, which I should I forgot I got my ID page looped into this is going to break the browser. Let me see if I can get to Page Source before it shuts everything down. Um, Alright, so let's see if it'll pull this up. It might not. Okay, there we go. So if we scroll down, we'll see right here is my local business structure data markup starting right here. From here to there. That's my local business structure data markup, that's part of the organization page. Right. And so again, as Marco just mentioned, some sites when we publish when it distributes the press releases, it has this codependent to it. You know, it started with it with the press release, but some sites will pick it up and publish that JSON LD code as well. What I think you're talking about is for individual press releases, so here I am inside the dashboard. If you scroll down now there's a section says enter JSON LD schema, this will be attached to the release in addition to any organization-specific schema. So that's what I was talking about before. If it's a local business, you want it which is what I was showing here. You want to have local business structure data markup on the page, right that their organization page, but then For the individual, a press release, excuse me, you can add additional schema markup here. So what I would recommend here and you know you can do other stuff too depends on what you're having published. But what I would recommend is going to and this is a tool that I use most of the time, we're going to have one in MGYB here shortly, I'm not sure if it's available yet. But this is the one that I've been using for quite some time.
If you just go to Google and search for schema markup generator, look for technicalSEO.com or just go to technicalSEO.com and look for the schema markup generator, which is over here in the left sidebar. There's different types of schema markups that this tool will generate different types of schema. And so the very first one is article click on the article and then when you look down here, when it loads this page, you come down here to Article type, and there's actually one for news article. So select news article, and then just fill out these fields. And here's your schema code over here on the right-hand sidebar. Once you've completed all these fields, Then you just copy that and paste that into Press Advantage over here. Now again, there are other types of schema that can be generated. So it depends on what the article is going to be about. But just doing news article schema markup is very, very powerful, right to add to each individual press release. Okay, so that's what I would recommend. There are other tools out there that will generate this stuff to guys, this is just the one that I typically use. Okay. There's a good question. Now, by the way, that said, I gotta tease this a little bit. I'm inside my blog for that same company, I was just sharing my real estate business. And this we've got coming soon. We've got some pretty cool stuff coming up. And like the plugin will generate this Jeffrey Smith plugin, but it's the pro version, which isn't released yet, but it's coming soon. And it's got all the schema markup generator right inside WordPress for all every different type of schema, you can think of. It's fabulous. And so that same type that same article markup right there, if we come down here, there's an article type, blog posting or news article. And then I can just fill out all this stuff. It creates the code right down here and embeds it into the header of this particular blog post. And I can click update, and boom, that's going to have the same type of Article markup that we were just sharing. Pretty powerful stuff. So be on the lookout for that guys soon, early next year. That was a good tease. Right, guys?
Marco: Perfect.
Can You Embed The Website Pages In The GSite When Mirroring?
All right. Next one is Simon. He says We're marrying the main website to the G site. Can you just embed the website pages on the site pages? Or is it necessary to copy and paste the content for each website page on to the G site pages, I just use the embeds. I'm lazy like that, right. I work on the money site pages. That's what I flush out with good content. And I mirror them onto the site. And then I just and I do some other really cool stuff. We've been talking about how I do silos now. locations. So there's topical silos and in location-based silos, but I do it in a very unique way. And it works really well, especially when you use a G site. And yeah, all I do is grab the embed or create an iframe out of the money site pages, and embed them into the G site page, then I optimize the title of the G site page, obviously. And then, you know, you can mirror that into a folder inside of your folder and files inside of your drive stack. And then just smash that shit with embeds and or links, or both. And it works really, really well hit ever remember, that's your SEO shield. So we do everything externally to the SEO shield, right? So that would be the G site the drive stack and all of the tier one entity assets, which by the way, you can actually take those iframe into your syndication network properties to guys think about that. So right, there's no reason you can't push those embeds through to your syndication network properties too. good question though,
Does Proper Schema Markup Feed The Bot Enough And Not To Worry About Creating Long Articles?
Paul Thompson says, Does proper schema markup feed the bot enough that we don't need to worry about creating long articles on the pages we want to rank? No, but it does. It does definitely help a lot. Marco is probably going to be better at answering this one than me. I would still for money sites stuff still flesh out the pages, but adding structured data, like what I just showed with my blog, where you were, you know, again, you can add it manually now like right now, since the pro plugins not available, this there might be other plugins out there that do it, but I don't know if they provide the schema code that's 100% up to date. I know that a lot of times they're not updated enough. I'm not speaking badly about anybody else's plugin. I just haven't used them. But you can have like a code insert or plugin right so like. SoGo ad scripts header, footer and things like that header, footer type script plugins where you can add scripts into the head section or foot section or body section of any individual page or post, and you can go use schema creators like what I just shared, and create schema markup and and then put them into each one of your posts or pages or whatever, so that you're adding additional, you know, schema structured data that the bots love and I mean, that's guys, you're you'll you'll have an edge over a lot of your competitors if you do that kind of stuff. But I would still recommend that for money site stuff, you flush the content, the content of the page out to. Marco, what say you
Marco: Yeah, I mean that absolutely. Two things right. structured and unstructured data structured data is for the bot feed the bot as much as you can, which is exactly what we do. And why we use drive stacks and Gsites and iframe and everything that the entities entity stack, and everything else that we don't I mean that it there's a method to our madness. Now, if you then go and you send a person to a page. And now we're talking about people, we're not talking about bots, because what's going to happen is you're going to rank. And that's going to bring your traffic onto the page. And if there's nothing on that page to engage the person, then we no longer care about the but now we care about that person coming to the website and converting, finishing the action that they were set out to do, because if that person comes on the website and bounces, then you did you defeated the entire purpose of creating the all of the stacking that we created in the first place, which was to get that person onto the page that would convert them over an image is going to convert them of an image is going to get them to push and call whatever it is that you need to be done. To finish that, that then that's what's going to matter. So, two different things. If you need the content to rank you have to look at the competition. If you can rank or outrank the competition without 2000 or 3000 words of content, By all means, nobody, and nobody's going to sit there and go through the 3000 words of content on this is a really interested in whatever it is that you have to say. what you're interested in, is that conversion, because that's what centers everything at the end. And that's what Google is going to look at from beginning to end is whether that task and that goal. Well, whether it was accomplished.
How Do You Setup A GMB Page For A Business That Operates In Multiple States?
Awesome, thanks, Marco. So the next question was from jack, I'm not the next question is my client is based out of Texas but operates in five other states fully across the states not limited to anyone Metro region. What's the best way to set up the company GMB page, so reviews for one state aggregate under the main company as well. Or if that's not possible, what would be the best way to go about setting up the GMB either individually and each state Or globally under some other configuration? Well, remember Google My Business is supposed to be especially now there's another question I see on the page here a little bit lower about what happened on November 8. And from my understanding, which I've only done very, I've only kind of read through some comments and stuff, is that it was more it was basically an update to the maps algorithm for GMB stuff. And it's gone even more proximity-based. So they've Google's tightened the proximity filter, so to speak. And so with that said, Google, my business is supposed to be for local businesses, right? I mean, we've talked about setting up GMBs and you know, setting your service area, the United States, for example, and that's okay, but it's not it's okay for like the entity but it's not going to help you to rank anywhere in the United States and maps. That said, you're also in this case, you're talking about five different states. They're located in Texas but they operate in five other states. So you potentially you could have if you have an office and in each of their other states, you could have GMB for each office location. It's not necessary but you can. That said if you wanted to get reviews and let's just say Arizona, I'm just assuming let's just say that that's one of the states that you operate in. If you get reviews in Arizona, but you want them to populate on the Texas GMB if that's the way you have it set up. It's not you can't do that. If you had a gym be in Arizona, I mean, if all you have is the one Google My Business location in Texas, then it doesn't matter where you get the reviews from. They're all going to aggregate on that one and only Google My Business location. My point that I'm trying to make is you cannot get GMB reviews in one location and have them also populate onto another GMB location. You can't do that. It because each GMB entity or location is supposed to be it's own and collect its own or, you know, aggregate its own reviews. So that said, You know, I would, I would consider what it is you're trying to do. As far as if you have multiple GMBs, which I'm not sure that you do, but if you do, then what I would recommend you do is set up use some sort of review directing app. I know for contractors, one of the ones that work really well as birdeye.com. I think another one might be Podium, I've not used that. But what are some of my contractor clients use Bird Eye, and that works well, but it's like a review gate, right? So it would be an app where you send out to customers, or clients or whatever the company or the business sends out to customers and ask for some listen to review or at ask for a review. And then somebody leaves a review and it directs the app can direct where the review gets published to if that makes sense. So you have more control over it that way and if it's you know, below three stars, then it can be not posted as a review. Instead, it could be brought to, you know, sent to the customer service team so that they can reach out and try to resolve potential issues, that kind of stuff, I would look into something like that if you're trying to have more control over where your reviews are coming from and where they're going to be posted to. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: Yeah, I'm just guessing that his client and whatever it is that they're doing that it triggers a three-pack, right? It triggers a map pack and it triggers map rankings if that's the case. Then get a map wherein each one of the places where where your client operate, and associate everything to the main entity, that's how Texas so then the AI which is sophisticated enough to then understand once you begin associating all of these to understand that it's all part of the same company with it's a company that operates out of Texas but has regional offices in five other states. So that if you do get a review, for example, in Texas for the company in another state, it could be taken into consideration. I'm not saying that the AI is that sophisticated, but it could mean at some point it will be, it will be able to understand all of these different relationships and put everything together. And if you do a really good job in your structured data of putting all of this together for the buck, then you won't even have to leave it to the bot to guess and try to understand what this is all about. You can tell it you can go with everything in JSON LD to tell about what this is all about. Having done that, then you don't have to worry about reviewing everything, or aggregating everything under the main company, it will all be taken together because everything is associated if you've done your job correctly. Now, if it's globally that we're not worrying about maps, and then the reviews wouldn't even come into play, unless you have unless you can trigger a knowledge And that's a totally different story.
Bradley: Yeah, and if that's the case, if it was globally then I would just have all reviews going to the one GMB asset, wherever the primary location is, because then all you're trying to do is build the brand, not individual locations, right?
What Are Your Insights On The Reported Traffic Drop Last November 8, 2019?
So Ross says, Hey, everyone, and then he's got the follow-up question below, which I'll just that's what and now come back to Joey's question where he says Ross is new here. What the hell happened on November 8, lots of traffic drops and the insight and that's what I was just talking about, as far as I know. I'm sure Marco's got more insight on this than I do. Because I don't geek out about this stuff anymore. If I don't see major drops in my stuff, I don't worry about it. So but apparently the what it from what I understand it was another maps update where it looks like they tightened the proximity filter to where it's it's even narrower now. Is that correct? Marco?
Marco: That's absolutely correct. They tighten up on the proximity. And proximity is a ranking factor, it's we can literally call it the most important ranking factor, although you can still overcome. That's why we don't usually see all of these changes in the things that we do. Because you can overcome anything, any part of the algorithm, you can overcome it. And people are saying that well don't use brute force. Don't do this. Don't do that. You can totally overcome anything through what they call it in the Rocky movie, good old fashioned blunt force trauma. And that's just feeding the but just a whole lot of related information, wherever it is that you that you're trying to expand to. So even though even if the proximity factor is the main ranking factor, there are other ranking factors that can and do come into play, if you can overcome that one factor. So is that something to just totally say, Oh my god, now I have to go get a DMB in eternity. City, not only in the area where I am but in the surrounding areas, it's being able to overcome that proximity factor. And we do it and we do a really good job of teaching that in local GSB Pro. And now, you know being at the location and being able to upload images and being able to show Google that you're actually there and that everything is actually from that location has become more important than ever.
Bradley: Yes, very good.
Does The Size Of Embeds Matter?
So let's jump back to Joey's question. It says hi, does the size of embeds matter? In other words, embedding a 10 by 10 GMB site is still the equivalent of embedding a 600 by 300. So the frame could be one by 110 by 10 or 600 by 300. And you still pass the juice Thank you. I'm size doesn't matter. Only because if you have it too small, then that could be considered cloaking. Am I correct in that statement?
Marco: Yeah, yeah, you could, you could be tagged For cloaking, although it's really hard if I mean if you do it right there no word. Most people can't do it right, which is why we don't even teach it.
Bradley: Yeah. I mean, technically Yes, you can still pass the SEO with the iframe present even if it's a one by one pixel.
Marco: Even if it's a zero by zero
Bradley: Yeah, it technically you can absolutely do that. I wouldn't recommend it if you know, because if anybody manually reviews it and saw it, then they could, you know, they could flag you for manual action. So
Marco: that would be the biggest problem right with someone coming in and actually, you triggering, First of all, triggering enough red flags to trigger a manual review so that someone from Google would actually come to your website because nobody trusts you're not making enough money now. Nobody. Most people are making enough money to worry about Google to have someone waste all of their valuable resources on looking at your fucking website in the first place. If you do get that big or if just if you just happen to get unlucky enough to trigger a manual, and they come and see that zero by zero thing, yes, that is cloaking. There's no reason for you to have a zero by zero iframe one by one unless it's a pixel, right? Facebook, Google, whatever, if it's unless it's tracking code. So they come in and look and they see code and it looks fishy. You're more likely to get hit with a manual and probably deindex, because I've seen cloaking get hit really, really hard.
Bradley: Yeah, agreed. Okay, so we'll say, Hey, Marco, have you announced the date of the four webinars for Bert? I guess that's for the charity stuff.
Marco: Yeah, no, I'm still working on that. It's not only BERT, but I'm also going to go into entities and AI and NLP and what it actually is what it isn't. We're gonna we're going to discuss and talk about everything that that other People just either refused to talk about, or they don't know enough about it to be able to discuss it. As soon as I have it already, I'm going to announce it. I'm going to announce the date I'm going to give you the donation page. And remember this all goes to a really good cause it's getting kids who would otherwise not be able to get an education getting them into school, so that they can get a good education get trained to get jobs and, you know, have a chance at life.
Bradley: Very cool. Alright, the next one, Fred says I was worried that that might be a problem. So that's because I was kind of tongue in cheek picking. That is a huge, long question. He says, thanks so much for answering my 13 pages of questions. It helped a lot. Thanks, guys. You're welcome, Fred.
What Is The Difference Between Q&A and FAQ?
Fit. So what's up? 50 says what is the difference between Q&A and FAQ? Well, it's, it's kind of the same thing or it's very closely related. Q&A is most of the time would like You can see in the SERPs is what I was talking about earlier. But FAQs that can be a little bit more specific to an individual like a business. Right? So I mean, they're kind of basically the same. As far as schema markup, it's the same. But what I mean the difference is frequently asked questions are should be answered by a client or business, right? Like, what is the questions that they get? asked the most by prospects and or customers or clients? Right? And they should have answers to that. But when it comes to q amp, a, what I'm what these, the way that I look at it is when you go to Google and you search for question, you'll see related questions that get asked enough that somebody took the time to create content around answering that question, and then marking it up correctly on their website so that they could get added to the featured snippets in Google search. So it stands to reason that that question gets asked enough. It might be a frequently asked question for another business that maybe your particular client or business doesn't get asked that much, but it's still relevant. That makes sense. So they're very closely related, but there is a slight difference, at least in my opinion.
Marco: Yeah, the difference is that that Q&A, people should be able to either ask questions or answer questions on the website, if they're not able, if they're your frequently asked questions and your answers are there's no way for users to engage with that. Then it's FAQ frequently asked questions. Q&A, again, is on a website where people can go in and interact with the questions and the answer. Yeah.
Bradley: Yeah, guys, it you know, I've talked about this probably in Syndication Academy. And I'll probably I'll just give this give another nugget away here because it works really well. And we're almost out of time. So anyway, those Q&A questions that you can curate, right from Google and the beautiful thing about it is if you type in a question about product service in an industry whatever the questions box comes up now what the drop-downs each time you click on a drop-down, it brings up like three or four more questions. So like you can just keep drilling down into those guys and that gives you almost unlimited content. Like, Think about it. It's a content hack, right, you can grab a question and an answer from those Question and Answer boxes that Google provides you and use that in GMB posts for example, right, just cite the source just like I was talking about earlier is the in the Q&A box right that the dropdown. as it expands, it gives you the snippet with the answer at least a partial answer. It might not be the full answer, but it gives a snippet and then it has the link to read more. Well, you can still use that link in the GMB post too so you give proper credit to where it's due. That's a nofollow link and a GMB post the button link right, and a GMB post. So the button URL, the URL that you attach to the call to action button. That is a dofollow link, although I here in just the past few days probably since November 8. Some of those are nofollow. And I think it's just because Google is still tinkering around in there. But those are dofollow links. So you can still link back to the answer, have a QA, write a question and answer that you curate it you basically are republishing from Google's own search results, to add relevancy to the GMB. You can do this on your money site too and link back to the source which is only proper and right. But then use the button URL in the GMB post the link back to your money site, right to your page that also is about that very topic or question and answer right so you again, you're it's creating co-citation. It's creating topical relevancy, and you don't even have to come up with the content. You can even go through and curate groups of questions like question and then create blog posts out of those on your money site where once again, you're publishing the question plus the answer. You can create a table of contents at the top of the page Marco stop me from getting too deep here. But with a table of contents with jump links, anchor links, right that jump down to each section that has a different question. It has the answer that links back out to the source, right, but it's a nofollow link on the blog post. And then just like a curated post, you can inject some commentary in between that stuff, with an opening paragraph and a closing paragraph with a call to action to contact your business or your company, your client that you're doing the work for, for help or services with that, you know, for products or services that solve those problems, those questions that make sense.
So again, guys, it's a great strategy to use those questions as a farm those questions right mine those questions, harvest those questions or whatever you want to say from one of those from this q&a panels that pop up in the Google search results and drill down into them. You can get gold topic ideas, blog post ideas GMB post ideas from that kind of stuff.
Which Of Your Courses In Which You Teach About Making ID Pages and Mirror Gsites?
So, Alright, the last question is oh Austin Don says, which of your courses do you teach about making it pages and mirror g sites? Well the mastermind, RYS reloaded local GMB Pro, any one of those three the mastermind local GMB Pro or RYS reloaded what it was, it's covered in all three of those locations. So, am I missing any here guys?
Marco: I don't think you did. Okay.
Bradley: Adam, you want to chime in? All right, last is not really a question. It's just a comment and then we're going to wrap it up, guys. I've got a TV repairman showing up in about five minutes. Anyways, I asked the question about GMBs and review in one location versus all the states that clients the Klein operates and this was that question about Texas and five additional states. We answered previously he says no follow up question. I just wanted to say thank you for answering it and you knocked it out of the park. I've wrestled with this in my head for a week and you made it clear as day thanks again, guys for all that you do. You're very welcome. That's what this venue is for. Anything else guys?
Marco: No, not unless another question popped up now. on the page,
Adam: I think you just scroll over Bradley, but the last call for everybody. Head over there. Just follow the instructions on Facebook get early access to the YouTube and UTM course Bradley's going to be put together here over the holidays and save a bundle but like they said to if you want to wait a little bit and pay us three times too much more. So okay with that.
Bradley: And let's go ahead. I was gonna say I actually prefer that. But, you know, I want you guys to save that additional $200 to spend it on your family's at Christmas. So
Marco: and stop by the mastermind tomorrow. The webinar, because we're going to show how much we've improved the user experience. Want to show how easy it is to find the information now before it was just okay, how do I get through five years of information? Yeah, because we have five years worth of videos in there in the archives, right? So just the latest videos. It's everything since we started. As I did you get through all that, well, now we made it really simple for you to get through it.
Bradley: That's been a long time coming. There's just so much damn content, so much video-based content and long mastermind webinars. It's been hard to, for people to find stuff and that's a problem we've been dealing with for a long time. And we Marco has been working on it in the background for since I think January of this year, maybe February, but it's been a long time. And now it's here. It's ready. So it's awesome. It's a big, big improvement. So, all right, everybody, thanks for being here. We'll see some of you tomorrow, the rest of you next week. Awesome. Bye, everyone. Bye, everyone.

Marco: I have two public service announcements. Adams Sorry to interrupt.
Adam: Yeah, let's do it.
Marco: Black Friday will be on Wednesdays from now on. I just determined that. And to all joking aside, we always say that be and the mastermind has its privileges. Well, I've been personally working really hard and incorporating some really not gonna say what it is, but some just some really neat things into the Mastermind to make the user experience to and to make people finding what they're looking for. To make that way better to improve the experience so that people can come in and find exactly what they're looking for, where it is, you know, so whatever it is that you're trying to find, Marco will talk shit about Google on and I can't remember when Well, it's not finished, not 100% because there is artificial intelligence involved. And interestingly enough the world is the SEO world is an uproar because of BERT, and we're actually using BERT in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind so again, mastermind being a member of the Semantic Mastermind does have its privileges because you're first to get everything that we do business building and ideas and concepts, and all of these different things. Hey, on tomorrow's mastermind webinar will be talking about BERT and AI and what it is actually, because you see all of these discussions and all of these forums and then all these Facebook groups, and nobody has an I'm not going to drop an F-bomb here. Nobody has an effing clue as to what it is that they're talking. They don't know what BERT is. And all you have to do is go into the documentation to see what BERT is and what it does. And you'll know that it's absolutely nothing to worry about. Absolutely nothing because of the way that we teach you how to do things in the Semantic Mastery Mastermind. So not only does it have its privileges in that we give you cutting it and anything that we can do to make your Your life easier to enter to make, whether its clients whether tank, whatever it is, it's there and we give it to people but it's also we try to make your life easier. We try to do all of these different things. Because you're a member of the Semantic Mastery Mastermind. It's included in the membership fee, nobody will have to pay extra for all the work that went into the back end of the mastermind to make things so much better. So, I'm sorry, it seems like it's a pitch fest for the mastermind. And I should be pitching the hell out of it. Because it's so good. We get testimonials time and again, of how well our stuff works. And so yeah, we should be here, tooting our own horns and singing our praises and whatever. I'm not going to go into that anymore. Just I'm just letting people know if you're in the Semantic Mastery <stermind, be there tomorrow and see just how much we have improved the learning experience. Let's call it
Adam: Amen. got one more to add on to that you guys are now made a post believe on November 4 about big news for Bradley. Bradley is going to be putting together some training, we decided based on the response. There's still a little bit of time if you want to get down on this, and what it is, is step by step program on how to grow, grow a massive brand using YouTube and GDN, Ads. And, you know, we just want to engage, because we have, especially Bradley didn't want to be putting in a lot of time and effort doing the training, you know, right leading up into the holidays if people weren't interested. But so far, we've got 71 comments, people interested in early access at a hell of a discount. So I'm going to put the link in if you want to get in on that. Just comment, leave a GIF or a comment on the Facebook thread and we will be in touch with you shortly. We're going to have some information that information about that going up. Hernan says let me in I think he got booted from the from Hump Day Hangouts.
Bradley: He's back in
Adam: Alright, well, guys, with that said, we got anything else before we get into questions here.
Bradley: I'll just give a little update on a couple of things. Number one, we've got anybody that joined Local Kingpin, which was the Google Ads training for using search ads for lead generation. That's going to be an update webinar on Monday. Because the interface has changed so much the principles, the method is still pretty much the same, though. There's just some slight differences that I'm going to cover. And the interface, Google Ads interface has changed a lot. Plus they've got a lot of new or improved features, such as automated bidding strategies and things like that, that I used to suggest never to use, but they've gotten so much better over the last year and a half, two years because of AI and it's so much better. So artificial intelligence. And so we're going to talk about that slightly plus any questions that anybody has So that'll be Monday, it'll be probably only about an hour long. That's just for me to give an update and answer questions. So if you're in Local Kingpin, I encourage you to get signed up for that.
Also, the Google Ads course that Adam was just talking about, that I'm going to be starting in two weeks, I think it's one and I say we're going to do that. I think Monday, the 25th is going to be the first webinar and that'll be about 90 minutes, maybe longer if there's, you know, a lot of Q&A at the end, and then December 9th, and that's going to be a two-part deal. The first one will be about YouTube ads and how to use that for branding. And for not not not so much lead generation it will produce leads, but it's not a direct lead generator, it it will but it's more about branding, and also driving relevant traffic into your digital assets. So your entity essentially. So we're going to talk about YouTube on the first webinar. And then on the second webinar. Again, that'll be December 9th. We're going to talk about using the Google Display Network. So it's good Google Ads training specifically for YouTube and the Google Display Network for setting up branding campaigns which works incredibly well for both building brand awareness but also for generating relevant targeted traffic from specific audiences from specific geo locations if it's for local into your entities, your digital assets for a particular brand which is great for SEO. So it's a way for using Google ads to not only produce relevant traffic but improve brand awareness as well as help the SEO that your any SEO work that you're doing, because you're driving relevant, targeted traffic from known audiences and Google to your SEO as your assets that you've been doing SEO work on. And that takes care of ART right – relevance, trust, and authority. Google understands that that's that recognize that traffic is an activity. It's relevant because it's from known audiences and specific geolocation if that's if it's for local you can target by geolocation, and it's also trusted, trusted and authority trusted traffic because it's coming from Google's known Google's audience buckets. And essentially, so it's going to be it's very, very powerful. I've just been crushing it with Google ads for clients over the last several months. And it just works really, really well. And I've been using them for my own business as well. And it's, it's just a great, great strategy. So that said, it's, um, it's going to be a pre, like right now you can get in for like, the pre-training special or whatever, where it's, it's a third of what it's going to be once I'm done recording those webinars, it's going to be packaged up and sold for probably 300 bucks, or right right, right around there. So if you want to get in for a third of that, I would recommend that you go check out the post that Adam posted, comment on it and then get signed up. Okay. All right.
Marco: So they're more than welcome to wait and pay us more later. Yeah, that's fine too. But I would suggest for people not to wait.
Bradley: Alright, so can we get into it? Now,
Adam: let's do it.
Bradley: All right, we got the screen. Okay, somebody confirm.
Adam: Good to go.
Bradley: Okay, so everybody can see my humping Wednesday meme GIFs alright. Hump Day right, Wednesday.
How Would You Add Relevancy To Your Money Site Using Drive Stacks?
So, Alright, so the first questions are and it's multiple questions. It's 13 pages worth of questions from Fred Wilson and Fred. Well, I appreciate your and I really do. I appreciate your questions. That's a bit much for Hump Day Hangouts. And also, it's getting a little bit into the weeds for stuff that we would typically only cover in this much depth in mastermind, which I'm sure you're fully aware of that, as a former mastermind member, or an RYS Academy reloaded specifically since it's so it pertains to drive stack stuff and kind of deep into the weeds. But with that said, Marco, how much of this do you want to answer?
Marco: I haven't really re-read the question. So,
Bradley: Yeah. So should I give you about 10 minutes to get through it?
Marco: All right. Do you have a general question that you can add the I'd be more than happy to answer general questions, but if it's something that's specific, yeah, that again, membership has its privileges and this things that I'm only answer for paying members and I mean, that that's just that's the way it should be. I'm sure that people who have paid three $4,000 for the course would appreciate me keeping the secret sauce in where it belongs.
Bradley: Yeah. And I agree and that, you know, I've read through the first two sections of this three-part question this three-section question, and I realized that it's, it's a lot more in-depth than what we would typically answer on a free Hump Day hangout because it's getting into very specific tactics. From RYS reloaded, we would cover it also in the mastermind, I'm sure. But this is not something that we can get that deep into it. That said, I'll give you kind of a general overview, and I'll kind of answer it and let you take add to it, Marco, and then we'll move on to the next one. So Fred, we would welcome you back to the mastermind at any moment.
If we're going to RYS Reloaded, either one of those would be good places to get this particular question answered. But that said, He's talking about his food business, his food tour business and talking about how to add additional relevancy. He did some keyword theme research using SEM Rush and looking at some of the competitors and found that there is some other keywords other than just food tour type keywords that can help to add relevancy that are kind of associated with the food tour business, but he hasn't been targeting them. And so the question is would adding in some of these other types of keyboard themes into the drive stack folders as subfolders within food tour folders, would that help to add relevancy? And because of the association that Google's is showing? And so I mean, to me, you've already answered your question. Yes. You know, if there's if there's a way to create that association, that you're you've discovered by doing some additional research, looking at competitors using some tools like sem rush and all of that kind of stuff, then yeah, you can you can add that additional relevancy into your drive stack. And that's going to certainly help. I don't know if you want to go further than that. Marco.
Marco: Yeah. Just a little bit, because, I mean, I can answer this generally we go after, especially the way that our keyword research VA is being taught, we go after anything that Google considers relevant. In a keyword, research cake, and we give you guys whoever orders the gig, the deep keyword research, all of that information. We do separate the movie will give you tasks will give you silos will give you information that we feel is where the money makers are, what the relevant keywords are, and maybe something that that that that isn't a money keyword, but Google still thinks that that is relevant. All of that is necessary because what we do inside the drive stack is create relevantly and push. Right? We create a relevance push from everything that we do from the spider web silo to the way that the drive stack is built to the way that the G site is built to the way the inner pages are done to the way that we mimic what's on the website. So yes, by all means, I don't care. We do use SEM Rush for keyword relevance, but that's not necessarily what will target what we do is we use Jeffrey Smith's Ultimate SEO Bootcamp training. And we go according to how he teaches what the top-level categories are. Then from there, work down and create the silos there, you will create three silos. But everything that's relevant should be at it. Remember when Network Empire started talking about color, current stuff, it's not, it's not there. But they began talking about it. And they began explaining it more what it was all about, what it means. And really, that's what we're trying to do. We're trying to create all of this in a self-contained Google environment for the bot to feed on, which is, that's exactly what we're doing.
Is It Safe Against Plagiarism To Curate Content With Attribution From Google Snippet?
Bradley: Yeah. And so the next question part of this, which it's kinda interesting that you asked this, Fred because we covered this, our own our very own data. You know, master link builder, was at our live event, hopefully, live 2019 in Denver, just recently, and he was talking about doing something similar that you're asking about, which is adding q&a. Questions and Answers into a doc within your Gsite within your drive stack and just linking back to the source but not actually hyperlinking just putting like the text-based link. So you're providing a citation, but what so you're citing the source, right? So you're providing attribution, but you're not hyperlinking back. I would say that should be okay, provided you're not copying, you know, if you're just copying snippets, like what is shown in the Google search results for the q amp a section. So when you search for a question in Google, and it brings up that featured snippet, which is a q amp a box, right, and it's got the dropdowns, and you click the drop-down, and then it shows a short it shows the full question and then a short answer and a link back to the source where it's pulling that answer from that question and answer from you can embed that or you know, kind of copy and paste that into a Google doc or something like that. And then still late as long as you're not expanding by going to the actual destination URL and copying more of the content. It's just a snippet. So it falls under the same rules of curating content would be on a blog post in that, if you're just highlighting, you know, reusing republishing a short snippet from somebody else's content, and then you're providing attribution citing the source, then it should be okay. Now, some people, some publishers will still make eventually, you know, sometimes they may find it and they may request that you unpublish it. But as far as it being a copyright infringement, as long as it's just a small snippet, and it's you're citing the source, it should, it should never be an issue. Although like I said, out of courtesy, if anybody ever were to contact you and say Please take this down or unpublished this, then you know, I would recommend that you just do it to avoid any sort of, you know, some sort of stupid battle that could ensue. Although again, I don't think there's anything wrong with it legally because you are citing the source and it falls within a specific brand. Members of the DMC act right there were the digital, whatever Copyright Act. So I would just, you know, encourage you not to go any further than what is shown in the snippets and the featured snippets within Google search.
That said, also, you're asked about curating a lot of content about a topic putting it inside the drive stack, then putting links to your money site, the correct way to push relevancy for your money site? Again, yes, you can do that. The same thing is by curating content on your money site, you can do that. Right. So think about that. That's what we've taught for years is the best way to generate content before even money site blog posts unless you're a subject matter expert and you're creating 100% original content. The problem with that is even as an as a subject matter expert, sometimes you get you run out of ideas. But there are a ton of other subject matter experts. I'm not talking about buying shitty content farm content, I'm talking about locating subject Matter content written by subject matter experts pertaining to your topic, right or your niche your industry, and then republishing, once again snippets of it, and giving credit to where it's, you know, citing the source giving attribution. And in the case of curating on a blog, your money site blog, you know, we always recommend hyperlinking to the source. And just using nofollow External links, that's what I've always done. Um, but that's very, very powerful. Because once again, you can create an original article out of using snippets of other people's content, where you're just adding commentary and opening paragraph commentary in between pieces of curated content, which doesn't have to be just articles, it can be videos, infographics, don't curate images. Please don't do that. You can. That's a no-no, but you can curate infographics, videos, mp3, so audio files, you know, other articles, you can curate all that kind of stuff. And it helps because it allows you to be able to produce content very quickly, inexpensively. And you can even train a virtual assistant, somebody that's not a subject matter expert how to locate good content, and compile it in a logical fashion, and then just add commentary. So in other words, you know, you can come up with a topic for a blog post, find supporting articles or even differing opinion articles, right so that you can do a compare and contrast or pros and cons or argue both sides of a topic in particular curated article if that makes sense. It's very, very powerful. And it's a great way to create co-citation, which is similar to co-occurrence in that you're linking out to other relevant sources. And so again, we talked about all of that in content kingpin, it's a training course that is still 100% relevant today. I still use that for all of my clients, that same exact method for curating content for all of my clients. You can apply that to drive stack stuff to you're still going to build that relevancy, topical relevancy. Just make sure you're Giving attribution even if you're not hyperlinking to it, I recommend you absolutely always give credit where credit is due. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: No, I totally agree. It's a matter of mirroring right? Everything that you would do on the money site you do on the drive stack and Gsite, including curating content. That's right.
How Do You Add A Schema Markup To A Local Business Press Release?
Okay, cool. Well, the next question is from Kaydee. Hi, guys. How do you add schema markup to press releases for a local business? Press advantage sent an email with a link to Google structured data markup helper tool to create the code but on the page, it is asking to select a data type and then paste your URL of the page you wish to mark up. What URL do we enter here? I don't know. Because I don't use that tool. I'm going to point out another one here for you in a moment. The press release is not yet published. So it has no URL to target the markup and the data type is to tick in and the data type to tick is a local business. Thanks to know and here's why. Because if you're if you have your own press advantage account, or even if you Buy him through MGYB. And we set up an organization page or you set it up through your own account, right? So you set up an organization page, that's where you should have your local business markup. If it's, you know, an organization page for local business, you should have your local business structured data markup in the organization page, right, which will get added to all of the press releases that get pushed out. And some may not all, but many of the publisher sites that were they get published to will actually pick up that JSON LD code for local business markup. Okay, so you add that to your organization page. However, I've got a press advantage open here. Let's see if it hopefully it brings me into the same standby I'm gonna have to pause my screen for a moment because of it my plugin that reset my browser that Marco pointed out, a reset my reset the tab, so give me one second while I get what you're looking for.
Marco: Let me just tell people That if your press release gets published and you go and look at some of the websites were able to publish, and you don't see the schema markup, but you don't see an iframe that you send out or whatever, that's not on us. It's not even on press advantage. It's actually on that website, not wanting, you know, stripping out all of the code. But what we want anyway, is we want to get that in as many places as we can. And that's why I go it goes out to the entire publication network, but not every website will publish whatever it is that you submitted, just did just to make it clear to everyone because we do get support tickets about that. And it's like, yeah, there's nothing that we could do.
Bradley: Yeah, so to show you what I'm talking about. First of all, if we go to press advantage for the organization, which I should I forgot I got my ID page looped into this is going to break the browser. Let me see if I can get to Page Source before it shuts everything down. Um, Alright, so let's see if it'll pull this up. It might not. Okay, there we go. So if we scroll down, we'll see right here is my local business structure data markup starting right here. From here to there. That's my local business structure data markup, that's part of the organization page. Right. And so again, as Marco just mentioned, some sites when we publish when it distributes the press releases, it has this codependent to it. You know, it started with it with the press release, but some sites will pick it up and publish that JSON LD code as well. What I think you're talking about is for individual press releases, so here I am inside the dashboard. If you scroll down now there's a section says enter JSON LD schema, this will be attached to the release in addition to any organization-specific schema. So that's what I was talking about before. If it's a local business, you want it which is what I was showing here. You want to have local business structure data markup on the page, right that their organization page, but then For the individual, a press release, excuse me, you can add additional schema markup here. So what I would recommend here and you know you can do other stuff too depends on what you're having published. But what I would recommend is going to and this is a tool that I use most of the time, we're going to have one in MGYB here shortly, I'm not sure if it's available yet. But this is the one that I've been using for quite some time.
If you just go to Google and search for schema markup generator, look for technicalSEO.com or just go to technicalSEO.com and look for the schema markup generator, which is over here in the left sidebar. There's different types of schema markups that this tool will generate different types of schema. And so the very first one is article click on the article and then when you look down here, when it loads this page, you come down here to Article type, and there's actually one for news article. So select news article, and then just fill out these fields. And here's your schema code over here on the right-hand sidebar. Once you've completed all these fields, Then you just copy that and paste that into Press Advantage over here. Now again, there are other types of schema that can be generated. So it depends on what the article is going to be about. But just doing news article schema markup is very, very powerful, right to add to each individual press release. Okay, so that's what I would recommend. There are other tools out there that will generate this stuff to guys, this is just the one that I typically use. Okay. There's a good question. Now, by the way, that said, I gotta tease this a little bit. I'm inside my blog for that same company, I was just sharing my real estate business. And this we've got coming soon. We've got some pretty cool stuff coming up. And like the plugin will generate this Jeffrey Smith plugin, but it's the pro version, which isn't released yet, but it's coming soon. And it's got all the schema markup generator right inside WordPress for all every different type of schema, you can think of. It's fabulous. And so that same type that same article markup right there, if we come down here, there's an article type, blog posting or news article. And then I can just fill out all this stuff. It creates the code right down here and embeds it into the header of this particular blog post. And I can click update, and boom, that's going to have the same type of Article markup that we were just sharing. Pretty powerful stuff. So be on the lookout for that guys soon, early next year. That was a good tease. Right, guys?
Marco: Perfect.
Can You Embed The Website Pages In The GSite When Mirroring?
All right. Next one is Simon. He says We're marrying the main website to the G site. Can you just embed the website pages on the site pages? Or is it necessary to copy and paste the content for each website page on to the G site pages, I just use the embeds. I'm lazy like that, right. I work on the money site pages. That's what I flush out with good content. And I mirror them onto the site. And then I just and I do some other really cool stuff. We've been talking about how I do silos now. locations. So there's topical silos and in location-based silos, but I do it in a very unique way. And it works really well, especially when you use a G site. And yeah, all I do is grab the embed or create an iframe out of the money site pages, and embed them into the G site page, then I optimize the title of the G site page, obviously. And then, you know, you can mirror that into a folder inside of your folder and files inside of your drive stack. And then just smash that shit with embeds and or links, or both. And it works really, really well hit ever remember, that's your SEO shield. So we do everything externally to the SEO shield, right? So that would be the G site the drive stack and all of the tier one entity assets, which by the way, you can actually take those iframe into your syndication network properties to guys think about that. So right, there's no reason you can't push those embeds through to your syndication network properties too. good question though,
Does Proper Schema Markup Feed The Bot Enough And Not To Worry About Creating Long Articles?
Paul Thompson says, Does proper schema markup feed the bot enough that we don't need to worry about creating long articles on the pages we want to rank? No, but it does. It does definitely help a lot. Marco is probably going to be better at answering this one than me. I would still for money sites stuff still flesh out the pages, but adding structured data, like what I just showed with my blog, where you were, you know, again, you can add it manually now like right now, since the pro plugins not available, this there might be other plugins out there that do it, but I don't know if they provide the schema code that's 100% up to date. I know that a lot of times they're not updated enough. I'm not speaking badly about anybody else's plugin. I just haven't used them. But you can have like a code insert or plugin right so like. SoGo ad scripts header, footer and things like that header, footer type script plugins where you can add scripts into the head section or foot section or body section of any individual page or post, and you can go use schema creators like what I just shared, and create schema markup and and then put them into each one of your posts or pages or whatever, so that you're adding additional, you know, schema structured data that the bots love and I mean, that's guys, you're you'll you'll have an edge over a lot of your competitors if you do that kind of stuff. But I would still recommend that for money site stuff, you flush the content, the content of the page out to. Marco, what say you
Marco: Yeah, I mean that absolutely. Two things right. structured and unstructured data structured data is for the bot feed the bot as much as you can, which is exactly what we do. And why we use drive stacks and Gsites and iframe and everything that the entities entity stack, and everything else that we don't I mean that it there's a method to our madness. Now, if you then go and you send a person to a page. And now we're talking about people, we're not talking about bots, because what's going to happen is you're going to rank. And that's going to bring your traffic onto the page. And if there's nothing on that page to engage the person, then we no longer care about the but now we care about that person coming to the website and converting, finishing the action that they were set out to do, because if that person comes on the website and bounces, then you did you defeated the entire purpose of creating the all of the stacking that we created in the first place, which was to get that person onto the page that would convert them over an image is going to convert them of an image is going to get them to push and call whatever it is that you need to be done. To finish that, that then that's what's going to matter. So, two different things. If you need the content to rank you have to look at the competition. If you can rank or outrank the competition without 2000 or 3000 words of content, By all means, nobody, and nobody's going to sit there and go through the 3000 words of content on this is a really interested in whatever it is that you have to say. what you're interested in, is that conversion, because that's what centers everything at the end. And that's what Google is going to look at from beginning to end is whether that task and that goal. Well, whether it was accomplished.
How Do You Setup A GMB Page For A Business That Operates In Multiple States?
Awesome, thanks, Marco. So the next question was from jack, I'm not the next question is my client is based out of Texas but operates in five other states fully across the states not limited to anyone Metro region. What's the best way to set up the company GMB page, so reviews for one state aggregate under the main company as well. Or if that's not possible, what would be the best way to go about setting up the GMB either individually and each state Or globally under some other configuration? Well, remember Google My Business is supposed to be especially now there's another question I see on the page here a little bit lower about what happened on November 8. And from my understanding, which I've only done very, I've only kind of read through some comments and stuff, is that it was more it was basically an update to the maps algorithm for GMB stuff. And it's gone even more proximity-based. So they've Google's tightened the proximity filter, so to speak. And so with that said, Google, my business is supposed to be for local businesses, right? I mean, we've talked about setting up GMBs and you know, setting your service area, the United States, for example, and that's okay, but it's not it's okay for like the entity but it's not going to help you to rank anywhere in the United States and maps. That said, you're also in this case, you're talking about five different states. They're located in Texas but they operate in five other states. So you potentially you could have if you have an office and in each of their other states, you could have GMB for each office location. It's not necessary but you can. That said if you wanted to get reviews and let's just say Arizona, I'm just assuming let's just say that that's one of the states that you operate in. If you get reviews in Arizona, but you want them to populate on the Texas GMB if that's the way you have it set up. It's not you can't do that. If you had a gym be in Arizona, I mean, if all you have is the one Google My Business location in Texas, then it doesn't matter where you get the reviews from. They're all going to aggregate on that one and only Google My Business location. My point that I'm trying to make is you cannot get GMB reviews in one location and have them also populate onto another GMB location. You can't do that. It because each GMB entity or location is supposed to be it's own and collect its own or, you know, aggregate its own reviews. So that said, You know, I would, I would consider what it is you're trying to do. As far as if you have multiple GMBs, which I'm not sure that you do, but if you do, then what I would recommend you do is set up use some sort of review directing app. I know for contractors, one of the ones that work really well as birdeye.com. I think another one might be Podium, I've not used that. But what are some of my contractor clients use Bird Eye, and that works well, but it's like a review gate, right? So it would be an app where you send out to customers, or clients or whatever the company or the business sends out to customers and ask for some listen to review or at ask for a review. And then somebody leaves a review and it directs the app can direct where the review gets published to if that makes sense. So you have more control over it that way and if it's you know, below three stars, then it can be not posted as a review. Instead, it could be brought to, you know, sent to the customer service team so that they can reach out and try to resolve potential issues, that kind of stuff, I would look into something like that if you're trying to have more control over where your reviews are coming from and where they're going to be posted to. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Marco: Yeah, I'm just guessing that his client and whatever it is that they're doing that it triggers a three-pack, right? It triggers a map pack and it triggers map rankings if that's the case. Then get a map wherein each one of the places where where your client operate, and associate everything to the main entity, that's how Texas so then the AI which is sophisticated enough to then understand once you begin associating all of these to understand that it's all part of the same company with it's a company that operates out of Texas but has regional offices in five other states. So that if you do get a review, for example, in Texas for the company in another state, it could be taken into consideration. I'm not saying that the AI is that sophisticated, but it could mean at some point it will be, it will be able to understand all of these different relationships and put everything together. And if you do a really good job in your structured data of putting all of this together for the buck, then you won't even have to leave it to the bot to guess and try to understand what this is all about. You can tell it you can go with everything in JSON LD to tell about what this is all about. Having done that, then you don't have to worry about reviewing everything, or aggregating everything under the main company, it will all be taken together because everything is associated if you've done your job correctly. Now, if it's globally that we're not worrying about maps, and then the reviews wouldn't even come into play, unless you have unless you can trigger a knowledge And that's a totally different story.
Bradley: Yeah, and if that's the case, if it was globally then I would just have all reviews going to the one GMB asset, wherever the primary location is, because then all you're trying to do is build the brand, not individual locations, right?
What Are Your Insights On The Reported Traffic Drop Last November 8, 2019?
So Ross says, Hey, everyone, and then he's got the follow-up question below, which I'll just that's what and now come back to Joey's question where he says Ross is new here. What the hell happened on November 8, lots of traffic drops and the insight and that's what I was just talking about, as far as I know. I'm sure Marco's got more insight on this than I do. Because I don't geek out about this stuff anymore. If I don't see major drops in my stuff, I don't worry about it. So but apparently the what it from what I understand it was another maps update where it looks like they tightened the proximity filter to where it's it's even narrower now. Is that correct? Marco?
Marco: That's absolutely correct. They tighten up on the proximity. And proximity is a ranking factor, it's we can literally call it the most important ranking factor, although you can still overcome. That's why we don't usually see all of these changes in the things that we do. Because you can overcome anything, any part of the algorithm, you can overcome it. And people are saying that well don't use brute force. Don't do this. Don't do that. You can totally overcome anything through what they call it in the Rocky movie, good old fashioned blunt force trauma. And that's just feeding the but just a whole lot of related information, wherever it is that you that you're trying to expand to. So even though even if the proximity factor is the main ranking factor, there are other ranking factors that can and do come into play, if you can overcome that one factor. So is that something to just totally say, Oh my god, now I have to go get a DMB in eternity. City, not only in the area where I am but in the surrounding areas, it's being able to overcome that proximity factor. And we do it and we do a really good job of teaching that in local GSB Pro. And now, you know being at the location and being able to upload images and being able to show Google that you're actually there and that everything is actually from that location has become more important than ever.
Bradley: Yes, very good.
Does The Size Of Embeds Matter?
So let's jump back to Joey's question. It says hi, does the size of embeds matter? In other words, embedding a 10 by 10 GMB site is still the equivalent of embedding a 600 by 300. So the frame could be one by 110 by 10 or 600 by 300. And you still pass the juice Thank you. I'm size doesn't matter. Only because if you have it too small, then that could be considered cloaking. Am I correct in that statement?
Marco: Yeah, yeah, you could, you could be tagged For cloaking, although it's really hard if I mean if you do it right there no word. Most people can't do it right, which is why we don't even teach it.
Bradley: Yeah. I mean, technically Yes, you can still pass the SEO with the iframe present even if it's a one by one pixel.
Marco: Even if it's a zero by zero
Bradley: Yeah, it technically you can absolutely do that. I wouldn't recommend it if you know, because if anybody manually reviews it and saw it, then they could, you know, they could flag you for manual action. So
Marco: that would be the biggest problem right with someone coming in and actually, you triggering, First of all, triggering enough red flags to trigger a manual review so that someone from Google would actually come to your website because nobody trusts you're not making enough money now. Nobody. Most people are making enough money to worry about Google to have someone waste all of their valuable resources on looking at your fucking website in the first place. If you do get that big or if just if you just happen to get unlucky enough to trigger a manual, and they come and see that zero by zero thing, yes, that is cloaking. There's no reason for you to have a zero by zero iframe one by one unless it's a pixel, right? Facebook, Google, whatever, if it's unless it's tracking code. So they come in and look and they see code and it looks fishy. You're more likely to get hit with a manual and probably deindex, because I've seen cloaking get hit really, really hard.
Bradley: Yeah, agreed. Okay, so we'll say, Hey, Marco, have you announced the date of the four webinars for Bert? I guess that's for the charity stuff.
Marco: Yeah, no, I'm still working on that. It's not only BERT, but I'm also going to go into entities and AI and NLP and what it actually is what it isn't. We're gonna we're going to discuss and talk about everything that that other People just either refused to talk about, or they don't know enough about it to be able to discuss it. As soon as I have it already, I'm going to announce it. I'm going to announce the date I'm going to give you the donation page. And remember this all goes to a really good cause it's getting kids who would otherwise not be able to get an education getting them into school, so that they can get a good education get trained to get jobs and, you know, have a chance at life.
Bradley: Very cool. Alright, the next one, Fred says I was worried that that might be a problem. So that's because I was kind of tongue in cheek picking. That is a huge, long question. He says, thanks so much for answering my 13 pages of questions. It helped a lot. Thanks, guys. You're welcome, Fred.
What Is The Difference Between Q&A and FAQ?
Fit. So what's up? 50 says what is the difference between Q&A and FAQ? Well, it's, it's kind of the same thing or it's very closely related. Q&A is most of the time would like You can see in the SERPs is what I was talking about earlier. But FAQs that can be a little bit more specific to an individual like a business. Right? So I mean, they're kind of basically the same. As far as schema markup, it's the same. But what I mean the difference is frequently asked questions are should be answered by a client or business, right? Like, what is the questions that they get? asked the most by prospects and or customers or clients? Right? And they should have answers to that. But when it comes to q amp, a, what I'm what these, the way that I look at it is when you go to Google and you search for question, you'll see related questions that get asked enough that somebody took the time to create content around answering that question, and then marking it up correctly on their website so that they could get added to the featured snippets in Google search. So it stands to reason that that question gets asked enough. It might be a frequently asked question for another business that maybe your particular client or business doesn't get asked that much, but it's still relevant. That makes sense. So they're very closely related, but there is a slight difference, at least in my opinion.
Marco: Yeah, the difference is that that Q&A, people should be able to either ask questions or answer questions on the website, if they're not able, if they're your frequently asked questions and your answers are there's no way for users to engage with that. Then it's FAQ frequently asked questions. Q&A, again, is on a website where people can go in and interact with the questions and the answer. Yeah.
Bradley: Yeah, guys, it you know, I've talked about this probably in Syndication Academy. And I'll probably I'll just give this give another nugget away here because it works really well. And we're almost out of time. So anyway, those Q&A questions that you can curate, right from Google and the beautiful thing about it is if you type in a question about product service in an industry whatever the questions box comes up now what the drop-downs each time you click on a drop-down, it brings up like three or four more questions. So like you can just keep drilling down into those guys and that gives you almost unlimited content. Like, Think about it. It's a content hack, right, you can grab a question and an answer from those Question and Answer boxes that Google provides you and use that in GMB posts for example, right, just cite the source just like I was talking about earlier is the in the Q&A box right that the dropdown. as it expands, it gives you the snippet with the answer at least a partial answer. It might not be the full answer, but it gives a snippet and then it has the link to read more. Well, you can still use that link in the GMB post too so you give proper credit to where it's due. That's a nofollow link and a GMB post the button link right, and a GMB post. So the button URL, the URL that you attach to the call to action button. That is a dofollow link, although I here in just the past few days probably since November 8. Some of those are nofollow. And I think it's just because Google is still tinkering around in there. But those are dofollow links. So you can still link back to the answer, have a QA, write a question and answer that you curate it you basically are republishing from Google's own search results, to add relevancy to the GMB. You can do this on your money site too and link back to the source which is only proper and right. But then use the button URL in the GMB post the link back to your money site, right to your page that also is about that very topic or question and answer right so you again, you're it's creating co-citation. It's creating topical relevancy, and you don't even have to come up with the content. You can even go through and curate groups of questions like question and then create blog posts out of those on your money site where once again, you're publishing the question plus the answer. You can create a table of contents at the top of the page Marco stop me from getting too deep here. But with a table of contents with jump links, anchor links, right that jump down to each section that has a different question. It has the answer that links back out to the source, right, but it's a nofollow link on the blog post. And then just like a curated post, you can inject some commentary in between that stuff, with an opening paragraph and a closing paragraph with a call to action to contact your business or your company, your client that you're doing the work for, for help or services with that, you know, for products or services that solve those problems, those questions that make sense.
So again, guys, it's a great strategy to use those questions as a farm those questions right mine those questions, harvest those questions or whatever you want to say from one of those from this q&a panels that pop up in the Google search results and drill down into them. You can get gold topic ideas, blog post ideas GMB post ideas from that kind of stuff.
Which Of Your Courses In Which You Teach About Making ID Pages and Mirror Gsites?
So, Alright, the last question is oh Austin Don says, which of your courses do you teach about making it pages and mirror g sites? Well the mastermind, RYS reloaded local GMB Pro, any one of those three the mastermind local GMB Pro or RYS reloaded what it was, it's covered in all three of those locations. So, am I missing any here guys?
Marco: I don't think you did. Okay.
Bradley: Adam, you want to chime in? All right, last is not really a question. It's just a comment and then we're going to wrap it up, guys. I've got a TV repairman showing up in about five minutes. Anyways, I asked the question about GMBs and review in one location versus all the states that clients the Klein operates and this was that question about Texas and five additional states. We answered previously he says no follow up question. I just wanted to say thank you for answering it and you knocked it out of the park. I've wrestled with this in my head for a week and you made it clear as day thanks again, guys for all that you do. You're very welcome. That's what this venue is for. Anything else guys?
Marco: No, not unless another question popped up now. on the page,
Adam: I think you just scroll over Bradley, but the last call for everybody. Head over there. Just follow the instructions on Facebook get early access to the YouTube and UTM course Bradley's going to be put together here over the holidays and save a bundle but like they said to if you want to wait a little bit and pay us three times too much more. So okay with that.
Bradley: And let's go ahead. I was gonna say I actually prefer that. But, you know, I want you guys to save that additional $200 to spend it on your family's at Christmas. So
Marco: and stop by the mastermind tomorrow. The webinar, because we're going to show how much we've improved the user experience. Want to show how easy it is to find the information now before it was just okay, how do I get through five years of information? Yeah, because we have five years worth of videos in there in the archives, right? So just the latest videos. It's everything since we started. As I did you get through all that, well, now we made it really simple for you to get through it.
Bradley: That's been a long time coming. There's just so much damn content, so much video-based content and long mastermind webinars. It's been hard to, for people to find stuff and that's a problem we've been dealing with for a long time. And we Marco has been working on it in the background for since I think January of this year, maybe February, but it's been a long time. And now it's here. It's ready. So it's awesome. It's a big, big improvement. So, all right, everybody, thanks for being here. We'll see some of you tomorrow, the rest of you next week. Awesome. Bye, everyone. Bye, everyone.
