WHAT IS SEO?

It is a Search Engine Optimization for Google with the intention to increase your rankings in organic search results.

What is SEO REALLY?

It’s a legal manipulation of Google’s algorithm to give it what it wants to rank you high in search results...because it is (nearly) impossible to get there naturally.

What does Google want?
1.Site’s Authority (SEO)

Authority is earned by:
1.Good Content
2.Correct Optimization
3.Quality Backlinks
-powerful (DR) (not FB, yelp, etc.)
-good traffic 1K+
-industry-relevant (not farming or sports, definitely not a gambling or adult websites)
-low amount of outgoing links
​

Why is it(almost) impossible to naturally meet these?

​​Google’s algorithm was never designed for local competition. It has always been geared toward big, national competition where big brands compete with each other and can afford, both financially and logistically, to match those requirements naturally. Local roofing websites typically have no such ability

1. Most local roofing companies have no ability to get good, unique, powerful links.
2. Most local roofing websites are not built to be SEO optimized
3. Most roofing web design companies have no clue how to even do that
4. Most local roofing websites have very thin, not optimized content

That’s why naturally 99% of SEO factors of local roofing companies are in very bad shape. That’s natural. And because Google is a computer and not a person, they don’t understand this very well.
​

How does Google rank un-authoritative local roofing websites?

​ The reality is such that google HAS to fill the first page with something. They do, but most top local roofing results are ranking high despite meeting SEO requirements, not because of meeting them. Most of the time It really comes down to factor #2 - age.

2.Age (not SEO)

​In most cases the only factor that is considered is age. This means if you are a newer roofing company you would always lose. Your older competitors would always have an unfair advantage over you 10 times out of 10.

That’s why we have to be ok with manipulating your roofing website’s authority while making it appear as natural as possible within Google’s parameters. Keep in mind: these are the rules they have created and you are only giving them what they want while understanding that their parameters are not exactly fair.

​So, what is SEO? SEO is really a naturally-looking workaround of Google’s mismatched standards for local markets.
