E872: Most "experts" say SEO takes 12 months to work. Sarvesh Shrivastava, today's guest, shows that for local businesses, that's flat-out wrong.
With the right structure, foundation, and targeting, you can realistically hit $100K/month in under 90 days using SEO - but almost everyone gets the strategy completely wrong.
Here's what you'll learn:
- Why 90% of local businesses focus on the wrong things
- The "money page" formula that prints revenue
- How to optimize your Google Business Profile for maximum lead flow
- Real images vs. AI/stock (and why using AI photos may kill trust)
- How to structure your site for topical authority (homepage → services → blogs → services)
- The internal linking trick that skyrocketed rankings in 7 days
- How to build high-impact backlinks (and why most are a waste)
- The right way to scale SEO across neighborhoods without triggering Google's doorway page penalties
- Why AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI mode pull directly from your GBP
If you're a local business owner, marketing manager, or SEO aiming for aggressive growth… this episode shows you the fastest legitimate way to scale.
