Is SEO A Scam In 2020?

SEO In 2020

Thanks for visiting my website, below is a transcript of the above video!

Search Engine Optimization, SEO, is not a scam. When someone's emailing your website from overseas and they're saying "give us access to your website, and pay us $500, we're going to improve your SEO." Or they're emailing on LinkedIn saying that they're going to do this and that to get you to the top of search results. That's probably a scam, I wouldn't pay anyone overseas any money or monthly fees, or give them access to your website unless you know for sure they're a legitimate operation.

SEO in many ways is pay to play now. If you're not putting together good content, or you're not putting together blogs or articles that people want to read or people want to find, then you're not going to rank at the top of the search results. Google is doing their very best to deliver the appropriate content to the people that are looking for it, and if that's not on your website, then you're not going to be at the top.

Getting Search Engine Results

There are many other things that you can do to get results from search engines. One of them is Google My Business. If you have more than 100 images on your Google My Business, your 2700% more likely to get a direction request on Google my business from someone looking for a business in their local area. If someone is trying to call a business, you're more than a 1000x more likely to get that phone call just by having more images on your Google My Business. Compared to businesses with fewer than 100 images.

If you want to get results from search engines, you need to pay attention to all of these things, because the businesses that are doing them are going to rank higher. Then they're going to get the phone calls and direction request, or people are visiting their websites and buying their products and not yours.
