How to Undercut Google’s Pay-to-Play Model and Advertise on a Budget

It's genuinely depressing to think about the totality of words we've wasted whining about Google's pay-to-play model. Not because we regret the time spent educating our readers, but because we wish this weren't the reality of digital marketing in 2020. Especially during a crippling pandemic. And we know this situation is just as depressing for all of the small, local service providers out there who feel like they don't have a fighting chance. But we're done with despair. It won't do … [Read more...] about How to Undercut Google’s Pay-to-Play Model and Advertise on a Budget

How Google’s Greed Is Slashing Your Website Traffic

Google's new slogan should be, "Helping Goliath pummel David." If you’ve been following this blog for a while, then you already know how we feel about Google and their reckless behavior towards the little guy. But for newcomers, here's a quick recap: Google’s motivation will always be to maximize profits for themselves. This runs in direct opposition to the best interests of small businesses that can't spend a fortune advertising themselves online. And it's getting worse.

Just the other day, we were talking to a small business owner, and he told us how skeptical he was of the SEO industry. At first, we couldn't understand why he was so mistrusting of us. But after some prodding, he revealed where his trust issues came from...

How Do American Small Business Owners Balance Work and Life? [INFOGRAPHIC]

Running your own business and setting your own hours is the American dream.

When Is the Best Time to Use Facebook Ads Versus Google AdWords?

Google AdWords vs. Facebook Costs

You've probably noticed that organic search results pages are getting harder and harder to rank on. (This is mostly due to Google's quest to monetize every inch of space on Page 1, but that's a rant for another day...) As a result, many business owners are trying paid ads, instead. Most people are using either Facebook Ads or Google AdWords (or both). If you've tried this alternative yourself, we don't blame you. It's a smart move! However, if you're going to start a paid ad … [Read more...] about When Is the Best Time to Use Facebook Ads Versus Google AdWords?
