@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Let’s cut to
the chase...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
If you want to
succeed at SEO...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
You need
BIG
links!

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Links which
look like this...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
And which deliver
organic visibility
growth that looks
like this...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
What if I told you we achieved
this on a budget of just
£1k?

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
You’d probably think I’m
crazy.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Don’t you need
big budgets to
land big links?

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Ba
ng head her
e

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
You just have to get
smart...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Think big and
execute within
your budget
constraints.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
- Steve Jobs
The most powerful
person in the world
is the storyteller.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Journalists
cover
stories...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
...not
content.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
I’m sorry, but they don’t care about your fancy,
big-budget interactive...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Only the
story.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
So change your
focus...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
There’s a
simple formula
to follow...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Big Links
=
A Great Story
Told To The
Right People

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Ideas Cost Nothing...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Let’s stop just
talking about
the theory...
And look at things
you can actually
do to produce real
results on a low
budget.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Start With
The Story...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
01. Start With The Story...
During ideation
sessions, evaluate
every idea by
asking 3 simple
questions.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
01. Start With The Story...
What’s
the hook?

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
01. Start With The Story...
What do potential
headlines look
like?

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
01. Start With The Story...
Does anyone actually
give a sh*t?

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
01. Start With The Story...
If this comes easy,
there’s a good chance
you’ve got a great story!

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Use Free
Public Data

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
02. Use Free Public Data
The best stories
are backed with
authoritative data.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
02. Use Free Public Data
But that doesn’t
mean you need to
spend money to
get it.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
02. Use Free Public Data
Forget expensive
surveys...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
02. Use Free Public Data
There’s thousands of free
data sets available which
are just waiting to be used
in a creative way...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
02. Use Free Public Data

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Forget big,
fancy
productions

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
03. Forget big, fancy productions
They’re nice
but a waste of
resources when
you’re working to
a budget.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
03. Forget big, fancy productions
Remember,
journalists just
want the story!

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
03. Forget big, fancy productions

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
Include A
Regional
Hook

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
04. Include A Regional Hook
Regional journalists
LOVE talking about
their town or city.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
04. Include A Regional Hook
Use this to your
advantage.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
04. Include A Regional Hook
Take public data
and compare
towns and cities to
each other.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
04. Include A Regional Hook

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
04. Include A Regional Hook
Think
about it...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
04. Include A Regional Hook
If you compare all
69 cities
in the UK with
each other...

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
04. Include A Regional Hook
That’s
69
different regions
whose local press
you can outreach to.

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
04. Include A Regional Hook
Alongside
national and
industry specific
publications

@BrockbankJames#brightonSEO
04. Include A Regional Hook
Don’t blame
the budget...

On 2nd September Myles Anderson, Brightlocal's CEO, presented at Brighton SEO. The topic was the 5 Trends Shaping the Future of Local Search. Local Search is one of the most dynamic & fast-evolving areas of search marketing. Predicting the future is hard but current trends provide a great pointer for what is likely to come. In this presentation I take a close look at 5 trends that I believe will be dominant in the next 2-3 years and provide clear tips for local businesses & SEOs to capitalise on these trends.

Think back to the last time you applied for a job. It doesn’t matter if you work in-house or agency side – it’s likely that there was a line in your job spec that read “a good understanding of best practice”. But when you turned up on your first day at work, knowing the best thing to do in every situation that might arise I doubt you were surprised to find out that the best thing to do couldn’t be done. The website wasn’t built that way. The client won’t sign that off. That’ll never get past legal. So you need to come up with the second best thing to do. That’s not part of best practice. Opinions come to a head and nothing gets done because businesses are mistaken in their opinion that doing nothing is fine if the best thing can’t be done. But best practice is a misnomer anyway. When we say best practice what we really mean is standard practice. If all you ever implement is standard practice that’s all you’ll be. Standard. If you can’t even reach standard your business deserves to fail. Where does best practice even come from though? People treat it as if it’s some kind of bible handed down from the gatekeepers – the guys who can shut off your revenue. Best practice is actually more like Wikipedia than a bible. It’s populated by everyone who works in the industry and most of it is factually incorrect. You should get 0 points for referencing it. The only things in there that actually do come from the channel owners are loaded with bias. Contributions from experts are self-serving and so many pat each other and themselves on the back that received wisdom becomes perceived fact. But if neither are reliable – and if what everyone is doing is the same thing – isn’t there a chance that doing something, anything different could drive better results than best practice? I would always overrule an expert if the data says otherwise. If we know our customers want X and the channel owners want Y, we should spend our time getting X to work with Y and not the other way around. Staff are fearful that deliberately setting out to do something that isn’t best practice will result in an automatic dismissal. I’m not saying it won’t. As a result, people will wait months or years for best practice to be implemented because it’s safe. The channel owners told us to do it. The experts concurred. Businesses spend a lot of money and a lot of time being average because nobody gets sacked for being average. After all – it’s in the job description.

Lead generation is the process of attracting and converting potential customers into leads – individuals or organizations who have shown interest in your product or service. This involves tactics like targeted advertising, content marketing, and networking to capture the attention of potential leads and encourage them to provide their contact information or engage with your business. The ultimate goal is to nurture these leads through the sales funnel, turning them into paying customers. Effective lead generation strategies focus on understanding the needs and preferences of your target audience, offering valuable content or solutions, and building relationships to establish trust and credibility

Going to mass markets to find buyers has some disadvantages for client outreach outside the marketplace. The biggest problem with this is that you can't really define what services you actually specialize in. But you can easily define yourself if you work in a niche specific market. In this slide I've showed you how you can carve out one or more profitable niches for providing client services outside of the marketplace. You can join my telegram group to get my exclusive list of 100 niches Telegram: https://t.me/clientoutreachmastermind
