BUILDING A STRONG BLOG IS A BIG PIECE OF YOUR LOCAL SEO STRATGY By Gary Monroe, Author, Keynote Speaker, Nationally Recognized Local SEO Consultant

o hear a LOCAL SEO expert suggest blogging as a big part of you SEO strategy is not the norm. Then again I tend to break all the rules and share tips and ideas that work. I use sure fire information that I have used and proven with my clients. From fortune 1000 companies to Chiquita’s Chihuahua Rescue in Los Angeles (now gone but still remembered).

My strategies are all about additional business or better said more money in your pocket. I don’t sell books (although I am an author), nor do I sell programs to make your site successful and for sure I no longer teach classes on Local SEO (that was a nightmare). I do lecture around the country and keynote at conventions and events. I simply take the styles and strategies that work and pass them along via tips and comments to all of you. Here is the TIP of the Day fresh from reality land… If your website blog is bad then so are your chances of moving up the Google ladder, that’s a FACT. Fix it or live on page 336 of Google, your choice. If you use strong keywords to develop your blog and use those same keywords in your social media personal or business descriptions, then tether them to your website and YouTube all your digital assets will start showing up together on Google and other search engines. This is not rocket science just a process that makes sense and works. I do it with 30 to 90 second explainer videos I post to the first pages of Google. Yes I said I post to the first page of Google you heard me correctly. I have done it in less than 60 seconds. Please feel free to challenge me on this. I promise you I never suggest or comment on anything I cannot do… So back to the TIPS these are simple and just follow them. Stop questioning everything you read and just do it and see the results. Give it a week or two to start happening. If you build it around a small explainer video it will happen even faster. Take note of these vital ingredients to build your blog and you will have a loyal following in a short amount of time. Number 1: Pick a blogging style and stick with it. As you build followers if you are all over the map with your topics and styles they will move along and be gone as fast as they said hello. People have enough ADHD issues going on in their life to then to pick a blog in their particular discipline that goes on and off topic like the way a cow pees, crooked and never the same way. If it is Tips then stick with Tips it if is stories then say with that. Not forever but depending on how often you post, don’t keep changing up. If you post once a week, keep that style for 8 to 12 months. Give your readers some love, give them some congruence in their lives knowing they can come back to good old Bob the Golfers blog and not have him go from great golf tips to stories about
