SEO is overwhelming. There are too many options:
Simplify things. Use the Epicenter as your guide. The Epicenter is your product or service. Imagine you own a pizza joint. You have a line of customers—are you sending them to your "pizza cooking classes"? No, you won't. You're selling pizza. Margarita or Pepperoni—take it or leave it. This is where you start, not on classes about healthy ingredients for pizza. The digital world is the same. For some reason, many start at the Periphery — they've been told is easier. But no, it is not. You don't start with "Top of Funnel" content—you start at the Epicenter. Example: Hotel SEO Core Offering: "Hotel in Paris city center" Then you expand:
Make the best possible work at the Epicenter because it’s your foundation—it's the DNA your site gets imprinted with. Topical Maps – A Practical Way Use your Topical Map as guidance. You start with your main topic ("Hotel in Paris city center") and then branch out: Editorial Content:
Programmatic Content:

If you started in the Periphery—don't worry—you can still pivot and find success. And if you need help getting to the Epicenter, I got you.

Last night I went to a fancy restaurant for dinner. I was excited because they served the wine using a device that extracts the wine without opening the bottle. —it uses a needle to extract the wine, so it doesn't oxidize— With this device, restaurants can make more money selling expensive wine by the glass. Consumers also benefit, they get amazing wine without needing to pay a full bottle. And they make it easier for you to get a hangover with great wine. (which is my case today) My...
SEO means "Search Engine Optimization", but what most people miss is the "Optimization" part. What it looks like in real life: before you publish a new page, you want the ones ranking to go higher.
