7:00 I am just starting on SEO. I heard it is possible to rent a YT video. How can I do that?
13:00 Okay, so I've setup a branded service for local business on a root domain and I've created subdomains for regional cities. My intent is to lease out the map listings and subdomains.
1. I'm using the same template, graphics, and brand name for each website, changing only the content, city specific NAP, Json markup, etc. Am I going to get myself into trouble branding across subdomains like that?
2. Similarly, can I syndicate blog content from each city subdomain to my main branded IFTTT network, or should I create a separate branded IFTTT network for each?
17:00 Question for anyone with some experience with Keyword Research and utilization via Local SEO particularly +Bradley Benner.
What threw me off here is that I've been told that getting the site to rank in the 3 pack (local Intent) and using KWs based on mybuisness categories and relevant KWs triggering the 3 pack is the most important aspect of the keywords and the Titles of the site silo structure.
That is, will the Geomodifier (town name) be actually a part of the mapped keyword written content that I'm trying to rank for or is that more in the page title aspects with the setup of the site silo structure or both?
29:00 I really enjoyed Advanced RSS Academy. As Yahoo Pipes no longer exists, what would you suggest to do the same job? Do you consider RSS splicing ‘ a must’ when building out a large authority site?
http://semanticmastery.com/yahoo-pipes-alternatives-service-ending-soon/
32:00 Would a meta geo tag in the head section of page work as well as json-ld to show location relevancy for the specific city page?
38:00 Is there a point where adding too much schema on a webpage would receive diminishing returns? If you markup the title / h1 / videos / local business / article / twitter cards too much?
42:00 Really appreciate the videos you made on Simple and Complex Silos. I have watched both videos 3x now. I had one question regarding the categories in the sidebar. After making the top pages be the categories, you made one statement regarding the categories in the sidebar still leaking out juice from the silo then something like "I'd remove them from the sidebar."
What is the best option after creating a Simple Silo to avoid or minimize that category leak?
1) Just leave the 5 categories (which would be pages) in the sidebar and tolerate a small amount of silo leakage.
2) Remove the category listings widget out of the sidebar.
3) Or Use the Simple Silo Plugin from Network Empire?
46:00 Using Project Supremacy - Where Yoast Was used before...
Yoast Meta Tags are now gone...
json ld is a substitute for title Tags and Descriptions??
48:00 Another issue. I have a client in Wisconsin bordering on Minneapolis St Paul Minnesota Metro area. Trying to rank in 3 pack. He has a Minnesota Phone number, Should I set all citations to the Minnesota phone number with the Wisconsin address? Any other ideas for dealing with a cross border situation?
51:00 Does text in your main menu count as keywords when trying to optimize your keyword density for 1 word, 2 word, 3 word? I have 10 diff city pages that have the same keyword and when I run seocentro its counting all the main menu navigation button text so now my page is over optimized for 2 word density levels, is this accurate?
54:00 1) When creating a BRANDED network for a subdomain is there any need for creating a persona or using proxies?
2) If so, then what user do we use for creating a branded network for a 2nd and 3nd subdomain? Do we use the same google account?
57:00 Should I wait for IFTTT 2.0 before I start building my first network?
57:30 If I were to promote a physical product on a national basis, what would you recommend as an SEO strategy to improve rankings?
1:00:00 Just got my IFTTT network setup by Semantic Mastery and I noticed there are two Google accounts, one Google plus and one Google My Business. During the time you were setting up my network, I created a GMB page and got the address verified(I didn't realize you'd be setting one up for me, sorry). Do I need to just switch out the one your team created with the one I created since I got the address verified?

In episode 500 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts, one participant asked if Bradley have encountered when Google ranked down lead gen sites in favor of eCommerce sites.
The exact question was:
I have a niched down fencing lead gen site that’s been ranking first for local and general terms for years. Recently Google started ranking all the ecommerce shops above me for all the general terms and even some of the local terms as this type of fencing can also be purchased as a product for DIY. It’s obliterated our traffic by 80% even through we still rank number one in maps. Business owner is looking at shutting down shop. To win back ranking I am looking to add a shop to the lead gen site with woo commerce that turns into a webform once customers add the products to their cart. Would love to hear your thoughts if you have encountered something similar?

In the 195th episode of Semantic Mastery's weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_VunYNgHSk), one participant asked which SerpSpace service is best for the rank and rent video model.
The exact question was:
- I want to promote my YouTube channel so that each video in there will be on the first page on google (number 1 is not mandatory, and YouTube search engine results are irrelevant because it's for local business services).
I am going for the rank & rent video model.
Which one of your SerpSpace offers is best for that?

In episode 317 of Semantic Mastery's weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEH1pdL61Gk), one participant asked if the team recommends purchasing a WordPress them instead of using a predefined theme like Twenty Seventeen.
The exact question was:
If I m building a WordPress website from scratch, do you suggest that I purchase a theme or use one of the WordPress themes (example twenty seventeen). My reason for asking is that in your video on building silos, you made mention of using plugins that can customize the widget for posts etc. Would these plugins work on a theme I bought or is it better to use one of the standard wordpress themes to build my site?
