In episode 156 of Semantic Mastery's weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY57Zl_HYsU), one participant asked whether having the same address for an agency and other local offices negatively affects map rankings. The exact question was: For the past few months, I've been trying to rank a real estate agency on the map pack, and despite everything I throw at it, it doesn't seem to budge. I followed Maps Kingpin to the letter, ordered at least 150 embeds, and the blog is updated 4 times a week. But then I noticed that the real estate agency and the local RE/MAX office (as well as other RE/MAX agents) have the same address, and that a few weeks ago Marco explained the problem with a listing he had trouble with was that it shared an address. Could this be the reason why nothing is working? I know that in a competitive niche patience is key, but for months it's been at the same spot in the Local Finder. If I change the address, will I have to repeat the process? I have a lot of citations with this address already. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWBaQNSdv4s

When you're using the sub domain method, do you use the same blog to link to each sub domain if there just different locations or does each sub domain get its own blog? 2. If you do just use the same blog do you put the blog on a sub domain? 3. is there a limit to how many sub domains you use per money site, would you only do a small geographic location or is country wide ok? 4. what advice do you have for turning the main site copy into unique for each sub domain, sounds like a lot of work to keep the copy good if you have even a few clients? Thank you for what you guys do I and I imagine everyone else genuinely appreciates it...Long Live Semantic Mastery! 18:00 Please clarify how you recommend setting up the different accounts: Tier one/Tier 2 /branded. Here is what i think you recommend: 1) Tier 1 Branded. Your money site/client site/Youtube channel at the center and build out ~20 sites profiles using the same name "Boston Plumbing Experts" same logo, same bio/description...and link all the sites together. 2) Tier 2 non branded are persona accounts. For each persona you create a blog on WP/Bloggr/Tumblr at the center for a persona like "John Smith" and you create ~20 sites all "branded" with John Smith with name/image/bio/description and again you can link them. This feels different to the Syndwire account set up gigs on Fiverr which talk about setting up 20 different personas in 20 accounts...but I think you regard those as orphans likely to be deleted? 24:00 How can you transfer a Google Plus Local or Branded to a newly created Google Plus Profile? 31:00 1. When linking from your main site to your subdomains, you want to "nofollow" the links, correct? 2. On the Semantic Mastery site, what is the reason for "nofollowing" the main nav "about" and "hangout" links? 32:00 3. I'm guessing that links to "other properties owned" or even "affiliate links" should be "nofollowed" as well? PS. Bought the Video X product and have paid for it with profits several times over already. Good share and great timing (while the clicks are still cheap!). 34:00 Hey! Merry Christmas to all of you, and thanks so much for your help! I've seen Fiverr gigs for submission of content to document and file sharing sites like Scibd, docstoc, Box and Mediafire Q1 - Is this a useful tactic? Q2 - How does this compare to RYS tactics? Is it a good compliment? 38:00 How do you we run youtube ads for products from our shopify stores or other ecom platforms? I am selling tshirts on gearbubble.com which is a print and ship site where my store is just a page of their main site. 41:00 Hey Guys! Merry Christmas! Im a new RYS user, im just starting to watch the training videos and wanted to know: 1) which will be the best approach to apply RYS to affiliate marketing? 2) I create my own money sites regularly, should I use RYS to link to and rank my M$ ? Or I should try to rank the G properties instead? 3) Did you had success trying to rank G properties for affiliate promoting? 46:00 How come you do not do a Tier 2 ring with money blogs? Doesn't it power things like Blogger and tumbler? 48:00 Hello and Happy Holidays! My client has a G+ profile that is linked to their website. I plan on syndicating their posts through IFTTT, but they want a separate G+ profile to be used for syndicating posts. So..my question; can you have multiple G+ accounts pointing to the same website? 52:00 Can i set up a Google My Business with out an address? or if I use my personal address will I get a bunch of business marketing flyers and crap in the mail, phone calls etc. How many citations and how quickly can i build citations I see fiverr gigs offering like 50 in 3 days. Same thing for map citations how many and how quickly, plus then do you run them all through an indexer, drip fed or? 58:00 1) There are IFTTT recipies available for Pinterest, Facebook Pages, Live Journal, Flick and Reddit. Can these be added to a IFTTT Tier 1 Video syndication network for more social embeds, etc? I'm assuming we can also do RSS feeds to these properties from our three blogs in our Tier 2 networks? 2) After watching the Advanced RSS Academy Training I'm still a bit confused on how to use related content feeds to populate my Tier 1 Tumblr, Blogger and WPO blogs. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQPM-JtfvQM

In episode 259 of the weekly Hump Day Hangouts by Semantic Mastery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2FD-d3DyG8), one viewer asked how would you expand the proximity radius of GMB page and website of an electrician using the Battle Plan. The exact question was: Hi guys. I have an electrician with a GMB and website who wants to expand their reach further than the presumed 10K proximity radius enforced by GMB. Would it be a matter of creating new landing pages for the suburbs/cities they want to expand into and in those pages also describe the services they would like to offer? Then proceed with the usual battle plan strategy to get those new locations to rank. Also, by creating and ranking this new content, would the GMB then start to rank for the new locations, or have I got this wrong? #battleplan #gmboptimization #localseo More videos about Google My Business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u_nYzxH3Ps&list=PL1oO3mUVEcfrpP1E3l1UE-XaGuHys5sT- More videos about SEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20AURKe0smg&list=PL1oO3mUVEcfpUc753HsfSJpvv4bicf5_M More videos about SEO Questions Answered on Hump Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYv44gXnC68&list=PL1oO3mUVEcfo33kNReI6LwcM3MfgGoVpm Start with the Battleplan - your "Art of War" Playbook that combines decades of distilled SEO Experience and Cutting Edge Practices: https://battleplan.semanticmastery.com Ready to start OR grow profitable local digital marketing agency?

Search Engine Optimization Questions and Answers: 4:00 - 12:00 ...I am confused about setting up the money channel and or money site. At present, I have a YouTube account called ***** which is associated with my business Gmail account. I have Erwin working on creating the t1 money channel themed for the pet industry. Erwin is asking me for the YouTube channel to connect the properties that he created ie, Blogger, twitter, word press, - on the t1 pet channel. I would also like to create theme channels for the medical industry, legal industry, and home improvement industry. Are each of these t1 themed channels supposed to be a part of my ***** YouTube account? Does the video that you put in the update section of the IFTTT Academy have any bearing on this?
