Twitter / G+ Accounts (People connect w/ People)

22. “…We're doing a better job of detecting if
someone is an authority in a specific space,
(could be medical, could be travel, whatever)
and trying to make sure that those rank those
a little more highly if you're some type of
authority...“
Matt Cutts – 2013

23. “Within search results,
information tied to verified
online profiles will be
ranked higher than content
without such verification,
which will result in most users naturally
clicking on the top (verified) results.
Eric Schmidt –
Executive Chairman of
Google

24. Authorship – What We’ve Seen
• Connections with Media -
“By the way, a fun fact, BBC Radio contacted me regarding one of "my" articles,
and asked if I wanted to be part of a radio show they produce. That must be a
sign of good writing! :)”
• Connections with Community –
HuffPost, Reddit, etc
(People connect with People)
• Increased SERP Visibility -

25. Recap
As outlined in RFP, the biggest impact for REMOVED will come from:
• Penalty / Filter Removal
• Revisiting KW Research
• Optimizing & diversifying internal linking
• Creating & promoting content that can consistently obtain authority links &
social signals
• Better implementing Google Authorship for SERP Visibility & brand reach
• Better leveraging relationships with influencers to develop strong niche
communities within REMOVED

26. You!
However…
The most important takeaway is our need for buy-in from your team and
company stakeholders.
Communication is very important to us.
Without your participation, we’ll fail.
With it, we’ll succeed.

27. Proposed 2014 Budget
• We’re proposing a REMOVED budget for the yearly program
• The initial audit, strategy & roadmap creation, and discussions with you will
dictate where the money is allocated to each month
• We used a hybrid billing model of deliverables and hours. For example,
• Links & content = “per unit” cost
• Consulting, social & analytics = hourly cost
• The proposed budget reflects the level of spend we believe will be required
to make a significant impact based on prior experience with related websites
and an internal review of REMOVED as it exists today
