Ways to Appear on the First Page of Goog...

Edward Sturm
About this episode

E575: These are the top ways to appear on the first page of the Google Search results. The tried and tested methods that actually work and get SEO results.

If you haven’t had much success with search engine optimization or just infrequent success, this episode will be very helpful.

This is a lot more specific than “make good content” - that’s actually bad advice. And this isn’t “get backlinks bro” - that’s also generally unnecessary advice unless you’re going after the most competitive keywords in your niche.

This is a simple and straightforward method to hitting the first page of Google.
