Do you have any advice on how to help prospects see the value of SEO? It's hard to say to them "Give me $5000, and after a year it'll pay off". I've tried comparing it to growing a KZfaq channel, but this doesn't always work.

hands down this is the best info I’ve seen anywhere on how to bring everything together - I’m a data Sci and comp Sci and web dev and psych and bilingual Ed, so speaking professionally

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

Am currently in need of Google voice search SEO tutorial and how to use all the tools in preparation for 2024

Thanks a lot for the great conversation! Do you have any recommendations on niching down in a small market? I'm building a SEO agency in Switzerland (German speaking part). However, compared to the US, Swiss cities are just so small, almost no search traffic online. Like my hometown has 20 searches/month for SEO Agentur Zug and we're ranking on position 3. That's why I'm wondering if I should even niche down, as the german speaking part in Switzerland is already a niche in itself. Btw, I great book, helped me a lot!

Is there it's soft copy link?

Every year is the best year for SEO if you know what you are doing ✨️

That was very helpful.

Pure Knowledge

I wasn’t going to watch it at first. I was like, the video is too long! But I’m glad I didn’t listen to myself. Once I started listening, I was hooked in. Great interview, Nate. I agree what you said about all of these updates. Google at this point is just trying to muddy the waters and shake things up and frustrate SEOs. Even so called “white hat” websites are not safe. Google makes zero from SEO. Their shareholder value depends on people buying ads. And you are right, it has not made the results better…..

No water, fast! Way to go.

Listened to the video, ordered the book!

Value. thanks

I was glad I watched the video. On the one hand, it's sad that there is so much junk in the SERP. On the other hand, I appreciate Nathan's perspective on Google just muddying the waters. One can't rely on every piece of advice that is put out there. The bottom line is to create helpful content, that is right to the point and ideally better than others'. IMHO, SEO isn't going anywhere in 2024.

The disruptive example is Complexity - silicone valley startup not in it bout the 💰, they have impressive traction and scientifically are doing things differently and they also understand old school SEO

Brilliant

is so refreshing that he completely understand the impact that AI can have in SEO, I've heard other seo's bashing chatgpt and AI, comparing them to spinners, Nathan just gets it.

I feel like Google is in a symbiotic relationship with publishers though. It would only take one small “do not crawl” on every website to cripple them. Like a mass boycott. Seems they have no choice but to leave a ray of hope to publishers to be found, rather than just scraping their data directly. They would instead have to scrape directly from social media, eliminating blogs entirely, and we would just migrate to social SEO. I guess.

Really enjoyed the conversation. Thanks again, Nathan!

good job

thanks a lot Nathan that was very usefull content

I want to buy your physical book so bad ha but im broke for now

As AI becomes a prominent source of information, traditional Google searches may diminish in importance, leading to the decline of conventional SEO. However, local SEO will continue to be in demand. Users are likely to rely more on AI than Google, and while blogging may decline, it is expected to persist within news agencies in the foreseeable future.

So, why?

SEO is dying day by day. But some SEO experts try to believe other people that SEO will exist forever. So they teach other people and earn money. So promote SEO and earn money
