a/n: so yesterday i posted a poll, and the votes amounted to steve getting posted next! so here it is!! also, @dacrethehalls this is for you

You fell in love in the passenger seat of Steve's car.

Steve fell in love on the first day of ninth grade. Seventh period. Ms. Ranson’s Geography class.

You were the new kid. It had been the same routine in every single class that day. Whatever teacher was in charge of said class would give the same hey class this is y/n and she's new. please, tell us about yourself and you’d be stuck coming up with some new fact.

I'm from the Northeast. I like pizza. I like reading.

On and on and on, coming up with some new inane fact per class. It was exhausting. Ms. Ranson's class was no different. She introduced you to the class in that nasally voice of hers and you muttered something about drawing. You'd barely gotten the words out before she was shuffling you to the nearest empty seat.

“Hey, I'm Steve.” The whispered words came from your left. You glanced over and gave him a sharp nod.

“Cool.”

It was quiet for about twenty seconds when you heard him again.

“You like to draw?”

“Yeah.”

“What can you draw?”

Ms. Ranson cleared her throat. She eyeballed Steve, the very beginning of a glare easing onto her face.

“Mr. Harrington, what do you think you're doing?”

“I'm following your instructions, ma'am. You said to make her feel at home, so I am.” The older woman allowed her features to fall into a full glare.

“That smart remark just earned you a detention, Mr. Harrington.” He let out a scoff of protest, but quieted down when you spoke up.

“But he was just following your instructions, ma'am. That's not fair, for you to punish him when he's just being polite.”

You glanced over to Steve, who was staring at you, lips parted in awe. He shook his head when he realized that you were looking. A red flush colored his cheeks. You turned back to the teacher, who was shaking her head at the both of you.

“Well, if you're so keen on defending him, then you can defend him right to detention. The both of you have just earned yourselves a detention on the first day of school. An admirable feat.” There was sarcasm lacing her words. You and Steve exchanged an eye roll, and from that moment on, were attached at the hip.

“Do you ever think of your life as - as pictures? Like, snapshots?” You blinked, bleary eyed as you looked over to Steve. The beer can in your hand was starting to get warm. It wasn't that bad, though. A warm, fuzzy feeling had started to spread through your limbs. It felt nice.

“What do you mean?” He had a brow cocked at you, that small smile of his playing on his lips. You leaned into his side a little, your feet moving back and forth, gentle in the warm pool water.

It was the night before your senior year started. Notebooks had been bought, clothes had been picked out for the next day. It had become tradition for you and Steve to sneak some of his dad's alcohol and drink out by the pool. By some miracle, the tradition had continued on to its final year, despite Steve getting an offer to hang out with Nancy that night.

“I don't know. It's just, well, like summer. Summer isn't big things for me. It's… driving in your car late at night. Or sitting on the edge of your pool, like now. Or screaming the lyrics to Africa at three in the morning when you got us lost in Chicago.”

“I didn't get us lost. You were shit at directions.”

“You're not getting it!” You exclaimed, waving a hand out in front of you. You made a vague motion with it, but Steve nodded as though he understood what you meant.

He always understood what you meant.

“Then help me.”

“I just - it's - everyone keeps telling me about the big things. Graduating high school. Going to college and having a career and marriage and babies and just all these big things.” You paused. “But no one talks about how good the little things are. How important they are. No one talks about how you look when you make me sneak out of my room so we can just drive around at night.” You were rambling. Maybe you'd drank more than you'd thought.

“How do I look when I make you sneak out of your room?” His voice was soft in the darkness. The only light was from the pool, hazy and soft and blue. It reflected on his face, catching the way his gaze was fixed upon you. You couldn't tell if he was the one holding his breath, or if it was you.

“Like magic, Steve.”

He ducked his head, the blush on his cheeks visible even in the low bluish light. You watched him for longer than necessary. The beer in your hand - your third, maybe - was making it hard to focus on the right things. Instead, you were focusing on the way your chest twisted at the sight of him; the way it felt as though your heart was being wrenched this way and that at the idea of not seeing him every single day.

“What’s going to happen to us after we graduate?” Your words slipped out unbidden. They fell at his feet, bloody and vulnerable and ready to be trampled upon.

“What do you mean?”

“We're not gonna be in the same town, regardless of where you go. And, uh, most people think it's weird when a girl calls a guy that's dating someone else.”

It was quiet for a long time after that. Steve stared at the gently moving water, his knuckles white as he gripped the beer can. You'd said the wrong thing, then. It was the truth, though. Guys didn't call girls that they weren't dating. Guys didn't write to girls or keep in touch with girls that they weren't into. You and Steve were platonic, therefore this year was it.

It was all you'd get.

“Demogorgons.”

“Yeah.”

“A shit ton of demogorgons.”

“Yep.”

“You're telling me that you battled interdimensional monsters a month ago and you're just now telling me because Dustin Henderson is allowing you to?”

“Uh, yeah?”

Benny's Diner wasn't the most popular spot in town, but it was open and close enough to the middle school that the two of you wouldn't have to rush back to pick Dustin up. But most of all, it was the place that Steve had deemed to just lay everything on the table. Or on the dashboard, really.

No one had left the car since he'd parked. He hadn't been able to keep quiet, instead spewing up word after word. Every syllable was crazier than the last, but it made sense. A year of insanity, wrapped up in Steve's car.

“So… Is that why the late night car rides started becoming a bit weekly thing? Nightmares?” Steve stared at you, reminiscent of the way that he'd looked at you that day in ninth grade.

“I literally just told you that monsters exist and that a girl with psychic abilities is in Hawkins, and you're concerned about my nightmares?”

“Uh, yeah, dumbass. Have you been sleeping? You're going to make yourself sick if you don't,” you said, frowning at him. He had to understand that this was important, right? The boy needed sleep. Now that you were looking, the bags under his eyes were obvious. They were dark and puffy, screaming for someone to notice them.

“How are you more concerned with my nightmares than with El?”

“She has Hopper. You have me.” You stared him down, daring him to disagree. His mouth hung open a little. The cold must've filtered into the car by then because there were little puffs of white coming out with each of his exhales.

“I have you,” he parroted. There was something off in his voice, like he was too caught up in his head. His eyes refocused on you, suddenly bright and a little intense. “I have you,” he said once more, his voice firmer this time around. Like he was stating a fact.

“That's what I said.” You watched him, brow furrowing. He was indecipherable. For the first time since you'd met him, you couldn't read him. “Look, how about we stop at the dance, tell Jonathan to bring him home, and we head back to my house?”

“Why your house?”

“ You sleep better there.” You'd looked out of the window, smiling faintly as flurries started to fall.

You totally missed the way that Steve was looking at you.

Sleeping at your house became a thing.

But the bigger thing was the late night car rides. They'd been a staple of your friendship, but they'd become more frequent. Before he'd told you, they happened about twice a week. After he told you, it was almost every single night.

Steve would toss rocks at your window. You'd climb onto the roof and then make the small jump to your favorite tree in the backyard. After shimmying down, it would be straight to his car. His BMW had become a safe haven of sorts.

“It's like the wardrobe,” you'd said one night, watching as the orange streetlights streaked by.

“The what?” Steve's fingers were tapping along to the music. Occasionally, he even started humming.

“The wardrobe, from the Chronicles of Narnia. You know, the thing that Lucy went through to get to Narnia?”

“Yeah, didn't read that one.”

“Okay, so Lucy Pevensie goes through this wardrobe and ends up in this magical land of Narnia. And your car feels like that wardrobe. Like we're going to somehow leave and go to this incredible place, on this adventure.”

“How's everything turn out for Lucy?” You looked over at his question, lips forming a small smile. The warm glow was resting on his face and it made everything seem like a dream.

“Pretty good, actually. It all worked out in the end.” Steve nodded his head a couple of times, slow and loose, like he was thinking about something.

“And my car is the wardrobe?” There was something lying underneath the surface of that question. It was just out of reach, brushing against your mind but refusing to stick. Steve was looking for an answer but you didn't know what it was. So you went with your gut.

“Yeah, it's the wardrobe.” The answer satisfied him, the corners of his mouth curling upwards.

You'd ended up in your room not long after that. The rest of the ride had been spent in silence aside from the radio. You'd fiddle with the dial, going from station to station until Steve would swat your hand away with a roll of his eyes.

That easy camaraderie had shifted by the time you got back. You had your back to him and vice versa, slipping on your pajamas as you tried to pin down what felt different that night. You'd been doing this for at least two months. Nothing had changed, yet it had. There was a tension in the air, rippling and shifting with every look that Steve gave you.

By the time you laid down in bed, you felt like you were going to crawl out of your skin. You slid under the covers, briefly relishing in the warmth that your pajama pants provided. But then Steve was climbing in and the feeling was back in full force. He hesitated for a moment before you scooted towards him. His arm went around your waist, tucking you into his chest.

Around week three, you'd both given up pretending that you didn't end up cuddling at night.

“Y/N?” Steve whispered, his warm breath curling around your ear.

“Yeah?”

“I - I can tell you anything, right?” His voice was wobbly and unsure. You struggled not to tense up. The last time he'd sounded like that, you'd sat in his car as he exploded on about bullshit.

“Of course, Steve.”

It was quiet. If you listened close enough, you would have been able to hear your dog padding down the hallway. The wind blew, causing the occasional tree branch to crack or scratch against the side of the house.

“I'm in love with you.”

Your heart stopped. You'd never gotten it whenever people said that their heart had stopped. Of course a heart wasn't going to just stop beating because of what something had said. However, those five words had caused your heart to slam against your rib cage and pause for a painful second.

“Like… like a friend.”

“No.”

The single word was so sure of itself that you wanted to punch him. His arm was still wrapped around your waist, and it was too much. You shoved it up and out of the way, almost launching your body away from him. You started to pace, back and forth, stepping on the clothes strewn across the floor.

“You don't love me.”

“Yes, I do.” He was sitting up in your bed, running his fingers through his hair as he watched you. He was almost frustratingly calm. You would've thought he wasn't worried at all, but his teeth nipped at his lower lip. His fingers thrummed against his leg. He kept messing up his hair. You knew him too well.

“You're full of it.”

“Do you know when I knew that I loved you?”

“Steve, stop it.” You were shaking by then.

“First day of ninth grade,” he started, ignoring the way you were staring at him, begging him to stop. ‘Seventh period. Ms. Ranson's Geography class. You defended me. No one - no one ever did that before. And you - you're still the only one that's ever defended me. That's ever given a shit about me beyond my fucking popularity status. So don't tell me to stop it, okay? Because I can't.” His voice cracked at the end and it hurt you to your core. But this was you, and you dealt with pain the same way that your dog did - by lashing out.

“You can't? Really? You can't? You dated Nancy for a year, Steve.”

Steve shot up, finger jabbing at you as his eyes darkened. There it was, that anger. You needed him to be angry. Anger was easier to deal with than… than the other thing.

“And I felt like shit all the time because deep down I knew it was bullshit on both sides. I… It wasn't right for me to date her, but it fucking killed me to know you don't feel the same,” he spat out, scowling. He loomed over you, making something in your chest twitch.

“You can't just spring this on me, Steve. Not now, now here. It isn't fair.”

“Not fair?” He asked, a hysterical note to his voice. “We've been sleeping in the same bed for two months! We spend every free second together. You told me that I look like magic. We act like a couple. We talk like a couple. You care more about my wellbeing than I do! You hold my hand and are there for me and -” He cut himself off, glancing for a second to your door. You'd almost forgotten that your parents were home.

“That's what friends do, Steve!” You took care that your voice was a whisper, but it was still louder than you'd meant for it to be. “Because we're friends.”

“Friends.” The word came out bitter, his lips twisting into something unpleasant. “Right. We're friends.”

“Why are you saying it like that?”

“Because that's what we are. It's what we've been for years. It's what we'll always be.” He was spitting the words out then, scowling as he stepped away from you.

“Why are you saying it like that? And why - are you leaving?” You watched as he gathered up his clothes, shoving his legs through his jeans and tugging on his sweater. “What are you doing?”

“I'm going home.”

He was leaving.

“But why?”

He was leaving you.

“I need some space, alright? I just do.”

“Steve, don't-”

“Why don't you call Matt, hm? Christ knows you two were never just friends.” The mention of your ex stung. It was a low blow, and he knew that.

“What the fuck is your problem, Steve?” He just waved his hands in the air as he shoved his feet into his sneakers.

“I'm not doing this right now. I’ll see you later.”

And just like that, he was gone. You stared at the open window, watching the curtains shuffle with the breeze. It was the middle of February, and the air had a cold bite to it. You left it open. You didn’t even bother going to your bed, instead just sitting on the ground, staring at the spot of where his sweater had been.

He was in love with you. Apparently had been for years. You slammed your hand on the ground and scowled. How dare he throw that on you then! It was only a couple of months until graduation, and then what? Seeing each other on holidays and maybe the occasional call? Losing Steve was going to be hard enough, but throwing those kind of emotions into the mix just wasn’t fair.

Your heartbeat sped up at the idea of those emotions. He was full of shit, ruining a perfectly good friendship over this. The boy couldn’t even handle himself, let alone another relationship. He was still rebounding from Nancy. He was deluded and exhausted and emotional. He wasn’t thinking clearly. Steve had just been spewing nonsense when he’d said those things, about the two of you acting like a couple. You didn’t act like a couple. You didn’t.

Without meaning to, your thoughts shifted. Sure, the two of you hung out more than most friends did. And yeah, you were more affectionate towards him than friends would normally be. But his parents were rarely ever around and he needed someone to be there for him, to hug him and make sure that he was okay. And you had said that he looked like magic, but that was referring to whenever he was driving late at night.

And it was true.

Steve looked like a dream that you’d have late in the winter when you were longing for summer. The orange glow would light up his face and make everything soft. His eyes would narrow anytime that you’d turn the radio dial, and you’d end up shrieking when he’d lightly slap your hand away. He always let you have the last say, though.

From ninth grade until twelfth grade, Steve had been a constant in your life. And when he’d gotten his car, that was a constant too. Your summers were judged by how many days you’d rode in his passenger seat, windows down as you screamed to the music. Your winters, by how many mornings you two had sat in his car before school, talking enough that the windows fogged. Spring and Fall were spent riding around in the evenings, watching the leaves sprout and change color.

It was as though everything had been spinning in fast, chaotic circles, but suddenly, it screeched to a grinding halt.

You were in love with Steve. You had been in love with Steve for a long time.

Oh.

“Nancy,” you said, skidding to a stop as you reached her locker. She cocked a brow at you, tilting her head as her eyes narrowed.

“What’s wrong with you? You look terrible, Y/N.”

“I…” You trailed off, glancing around to make sure that no one was close enough to overhear. “I think I’m in love with Steve.” You were waiting for some big reaction. You’d betrayed a friend of yours by being into her ex. You were waiting for her eyes to wide and her mouth to fall open and for her to stare at you in shock. But instead, she just cocked a brow at you.

“Yeah. What’s the big deal?”

“What do you mean, what’s the big deal?”

“Wait, is this news to you?” You stared at her.

“It’s not news to you?”

“No? You and Steve got really close after everything happened in November. I thought you two…” She waved a hand in the air to motion towards something.

“We’re just friends, Nance.”

“He’s been sleeping at your house for two and a half months.” She said the words slow, enunciating every word, looking dubious.

“Because he can’t sleep at night.” Nancy tilted her head back against her locker, rolling her eyes so far back you could see the whites of them for a moment.

“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard, and you know it.”

“Oh, my god.” You leaned back against the wall, the sick feeling that had been in your stomach all morning multiplying. Jonathan paused by Nancy, giving her a quick peck on the head as he looked over to you.

“What’s up with you?”

“She’s just now realizing that she’s in love with Steve.” Jonathan frowned, looking almost exactly like Nancy had just seconds before.

“Oh God, I’ve been leading him on.”

“No, you haven’t. If you tell him that you-”

“He told me that he loves me last night and I panicked and said that he didn’t love me and that we were just friends,” you blurted out, cutting Nancy off in the middle of her sentence. She and Jonathan both stared at you, sharing the same look of utter shock.

“You’re shitting me,” Jonathan said. “Is that why he almost punched me in the face when I say hey to him in Mr. Reese’s class?” A bell rang out, and the three of you blanched. “Shit, just - Talk to him, please? If not for you, for me? Because I cannot deal with him regressing back to his King Steve shtick, okay?” With that, the boy was dragging Nancy down the hall as the rest of the students cleared out.

You headed in the opposite direction, your heart pounding more and more with every step. Eventually, you stopped outside of Mr. Clarke’s room, praying that Steve had actually showed up to class. You opened the door and popped your head inside, ignoring the way that everyone turned to stare at you.

“Uh, Mr. Clarke?”

“Yeah, Y/N, what can I do for you?”

“Steve’s wanted in the office for something. Principal Norris asked me to get him.” You allowed yourself a little weak moment and looked over to Steve, who was staring at you with a blank expression.

“Head out, Harrington. Get the notes from somebody later, alright?” You watched as Steve got up from his seat, throwing the strap of his backpack over his shoulder and practically shoving past you to get out the door.

“What’s Norris want with me?” His tone was neutral as the two of you started down the hallway.

“Uh, she doesn’t. I just - we need to talk, Steve.” He stopped in his tracks, looking down at you with a scowl. You’d seen that look before. It had been aimed at Jonathan in years past, more recently Billy and Tommy. But not you. Never you.

“Cool. I’m heading back to class,” he said, shaking his head at you. His shoulder bumped against yours as he passed. You reached out, fingers wrapping around his hand as you tugged him to a stop. His skin was warm against yours, somehow comforting you and hurting you at the same time.

“Steve, please.” Please came out cracking and broken. You weren’t sure if you’d ever sounded so desperate, so scared and aching and wishing that things could just be right.

“Then talk.” The last place that you wanted to talk was in the hallway, but his feet were planted and he wasn’t moving. Your fingers were still wrapped around his hand, but he was making no move on his part.

“You can’t - it’s not fair that you just threw all of that on me last night.” He whirled around, opening his mouth to argue, but you held up your free hand to silence him. “You just… You don’t know how fucking scared I am, Steve. Once August comes, everything is different. I’m heading off to college and you’re joining up with Hopper and we won’t be together. This is it and it’s fucking cruel to throw in that when it’s just going to hurt even worse when the times comes.” You were shaking a little as you stood there. You’d acknowledged that you were scared of leaving Hawkins and him, but with everything else, it was a hundred times worse.

“Wait, what do you think is going to happen?” You shook your head and shrugged your shoulders. “You think that we’re not going to be friends after August? That we’ll flush years of friendship down the toilet because we’re too lazy to call each other? Y/N/N, c’mon. You can’t be serious here.” His entire body had softened as he’d started to speak. His shoulders lost the tension in them, the fire in his eyes was muted. He just looked young and sad and tired.

“We’re not good at that kind of thing, Steve. We’re shit at keeping in touch with other people. Why would this be any different?”

“Because you have me.” The words took you back to that night in his car outside of Benny’s Diner, him asking you why you cared more about his sleep schedule than a girl with psychic powers. You glanced down at your hands, realizing that you hadn’t let go. His fingers finally threaded through yours, slotting together like they were made that way.

“What if we fuck this up, Steve? What if we try this whole thing out and we really fuck it up?” Steve furrowed his brow at you, leaning forward a little as confusion settled onto his features.

“What do you mean, try this whole thing? What whole thing? Staying in touch?”

“No. The other thing. The… together thing.” Your cheeks were a bright red by that point. Confrontation had never been your strong suit, but this was a whole other level of embarrassment.

“What together thing? If I remember, last night you told me that we’re friends.”

“Yeah, don’t remind me of how you made that a bad thing.” Steve used his free hand to run his fingers through his hair, shaking his head a little as he looked down at his feet.

“I was just upset. You were telling me that I was full of it for telling you how I felt. You know that I know that being friends with you is the most important thing in my life.” His voice had gotten as soft as it had been last night, when his arm had been curled around your waist and his breath on your ear.

“You came on so strong, Steve. You just kept plowing through and I was already freaking out in general about leaving and then you… you say that and I panicked.” His thumb brushed against the back of your hand, a small comfort.

“Yeah, well you were telling me that I didn’t mean it, and I started panicking.” You let out a soft snort at that, more of a huff of laughter than anything else. “I’m sorry, though. I shouldn’t have stormed off like that. That wasn’t okay.” He paused once more, looking from the floor to you. “What together thing are you talking about, Y/N?”

“Can we not talk about it here? I just - the lights - and someone’s going to see us and I don’t want to… be here.” You let you babbling die off, fading into the quiet as Steve watched you. It took him a second or two to realize what you’d said, and then he was practically dragging you towards the parking lot. His fingers remained intertwined with yours, firm and secure as he lead the two of you into the bright, cold afternoon air. It was quiet between the two of you as you walked, heading towards the safe haven that was his car.

It remained quiet as you got into the passenger seat, staring ahead at the dusty dash while Steve rounded the car. It was still quiet as he got in, and as he turned on the engine and pulled out. Trees sped by the window as he drove through the quiet of Hawkins.

“Do you remember when I said that this was my seat, when you first got her?” You started, tapping the very seat that you were sitting on. Steve let out a soft hum, acknowledging that he heard you. “I didn’t realize it ‘til last night, but um, I… I think I feel the same about you. I can’t breathe at the thought of not talking to you. My best memories are in this car with you.” You were staring down at your lap, hands folded neatly there. It was better than looking at him, to see the emotions that would be flickering across his face. “I’m pretty sure that I fell in love with you in my passenger seat a long time ago and I’m kind of panicking right now. So, uh, yeah.”

The words had tumbled out of your mouth and hung in the air. There was no sound except for the soft rumble of the engine, and the occasional whizz of a car speeding by. Steve didn’t talk, didn’t say a single word as you waited. After around a minute or so, he flicked on his turn signal and pulled over to the side of the road. You still didn’t say anything as he turned on his four-ways. He was the one that held the power to shift the balance. You weren’t going to let yourself sway him one way or another.

Still, he didn’t say anything, so eventually, you glanced over to him. He was staring at you, so intent that you tried to turn away. But he reached out and laid a hand on yours. It was quiet for a beat before he was leaning forward and pressing his lips against your lips. It wasn’t the soft, quiet, or gentle kiss that you would have thought he’d give. No, this was hard and insistent, reassuring you that there was no fucking chance that he was going anywhere at all. You scooted forward, pressing into the kiss with everything you had left. You rested a hand against his neck, the other tangling in his shirt as you tugged him closer.

The kiss screamed closer.

“I thought I was going crazy,” he breathed out, pulling away just enough to rest his forehead against yours. He was panting, chest heaving as he stared at you. His lips were swollen and red. “I could’ve sworn that I was going crazy and you didn’t -” You stopped him with another kiss. This one was sweet and soft, but still reassuring. Still letting him know that it was alright.

“I’m sorry I was a dick about it last night.” He let out a laugh, grinning wide before he pressed another kiss to your lips.

“Don’t be. We were both dicks.”

The two of you laughed, foreheads pressed against each other as the cold air slowly seeped back into the car. But neither of you minded.

Because the two of you didn’t know what was going to happen after school. You didn’t know what would happen over the summer, or where the fall would take you. But what you did know, was that it’d be okay.

Because you had each other.

Clothing Sizes and the Scale

This is just a short post to say that I had a light bulb go on for me recently regarding clothing sizes and the scale. I finally broke down and bought new clothes. This is part of my journey to create a better body image. I’ve been in desperate need of new clothes because of a number of reasons - (1) I’ve gained back enough of the weight I lost that some of my clothes don’t fit anymore, (2) My style has changed, so I don’t like a lot of my clothes anymore, and (3) A lot of my clothes have worn out and had to be tossed. However, I’ve been reluctant to buy new clothes because we can’t really afford it and because I wanted to wait until I had lost some of the weight. I know that even if I lose 20lbs, some of my clothes will fit nicely again, so I was waiting.

I think this was feeding into my poor body image. If, everyday, I go into my closet to decide what to wear, and all I see are clothes that I don’t feel comfortable in, either because of the fit or the style, then all I am saying to myself is that I am uncomfortable in my skin. I’m uncomfortable, and so my outward appearance is going to reflect that feeling. I felt like the first step to accepting my body was to feel good about how I got dressed everyday, as superficial as that may seem, and my husband and I agreed that we could add a little bit to the debt we have been working on diminishing in order for me to feel better.

So I went shopping, which, even though I am a fat girl and have been for a long time, is not something that really bothers me anymore. I’ve written before about how I go clothes shopping, so I won’t get too detailed here. But the long and short of it is that I go through a store and I pick up everything I see that I like in my size or the size that I think will fit and then I go try everything on. This particular shopping trip happened at Target, since I was trying to get the most for my money, given our budget. So in the juniors and misses sections, I picked up everything I liked in an XXL or sometimes an XL, if they didn’t have an XXL, and in the plus size section, I picked up everything in a 0 or a 1, depending on what was available.

It doesn’t bother me to pick up these large sizes, and when I was trying things on, I often had to go back out to the store floor to pick up a smaller size. On the other hand, sometimes the XXL did not fit. For the plus sizes, the 0 or 1 size was too large in tops but sometimes didn’t fit well in dresses or bottoms. I can’t wear a size 16 or 18 in Misses (and completely forget about a 15 or 17 in Juniors), but my Torrid jeans and work pants are a size 18. I love to say this - what is the truth? There isn’t one, and I’m not embarrassed to buy a variety of sizes, all the way up to the biggest size, in all three of these sections, nor am I embarrassed when something doesn’t fit in the dressing room. The only emotion I feel is either annoyance at having to go get another size to try on or disappointment if the size not fitting means I can’t get the item because they don’t have another size - not disappointment in myself, just in the situation. Sometimes it isn’t the size that doesn’t fit but the style - no matter what the size is or even if the size fits me, the style of something that looked cute might not work for me, and that’s fine. I actually prefer it if I can tell from trying on the wrong size that I won’t like it in a different size because then I don’t have to try it on again, and I don’t have to spend another second thinking about adding this item to my closet.

Sometimes, I choose to buy the larger size. I tried on a dress in Target, and I liked the XXL, but I knew the XL would fit, so I tried on both. I preferred how the XXL hung on my body more, even though the XL fit perfectly fine. Sometimes I feel disappointment, not because the store doesn’t have a bigger size to fit me, but because they don’t have a smaller size in stock! This happens a lot in plus size stores or sections when I am looking for tops. I am pear shaped, which basically means I am plus size on the bottom and straight size on the top (except in the case of boobs - some styles require a plus size top in the boob area, like button downs). I’m not saying that I don’t feel disappointment about clothes because a store doesn’t have a big enough size - definitely happens - but I’m saying that the emotion I feel is not related to whether I need a bigger or smaller size. It is related to the fact that I need a size that the store doesn’t have, and I wanted to buy that item, and now I can’t. It’s disappointment in the store or the situation but not in my body or my size.

My feelings about clothing sizes have completely shifted over time to the point where I could give a shit what the label says, as long as it fits me and looks good and I like it. I’m not ashamed at the sizes I wear, and I wear a ton of things that I “shouldn’t.” I am particularly fond of horizontal stripes, and they run rampant in my closet. I have always been attracted to that pattern, and when my teenage self read countless magazine articles about how I shouldn’t wear that pattern because it would widen me, I was so heartbroken. I remember shopping during that time, and I would like the style of a top or a dress, but I wouldn’t buy it if the only pattern it came in was horizontal stripes. Even my idols on What Not to Wear, who seemed ostensibly body positive, cautioned against their plus size clients purchasing these types of stripes. I got over it, obviously.

I also have some bodycon items, crop tops, and, god forbid, mini skirts. I sometimes struggle with wearing my more “daring” items, but I don’t hesitate to purchase them in the store, if I like them. I don’t shy away from trying on styles that weren’t necessarily made with my body size and shape in mind. At this most recent Target adventure, I tried on countless rompers. Turns out, I just will never look good in a romper. I can’t even quite figure out why, but I think it’s my proportions. I still bought one on clearance that I think will be a good beach cover up. And I tried on a bunch of them because - why not? The worst that can happen is that I walk away saying, “Okay, that’s not for me.” Which is exactly what happened. In contrast, I tried on this wrap skirt that I didn’t think would fit at all or look good, and it’s my favorite item I bought. Same with a couple of t-shirt dresses. The fabric is clingy, and it doesn’t have a fitted shape or nip in at the waist. Probably when I wear this dress in either of the colors I bought it in (olive green and black), there will be people judging me. But I think I look great in it, and it is super comfortable - and I’m glad I tried it on, despite the fabric and style, so that I could find out that I liked it.

Here’s the light bulb - If I no longer care what the clothing label says or what I’m “supposed” to be wearing, why do I care what the scale says and what I’m “supposed” to weigh, as long as my body is carrying me around and looking good doing it? As soon as that thought entered my brain I was like, “Whoa. Truth bomb.” The scale is just a number, like these clothing sizes that have no meaning. First of all, I bought a large, XL, and XXL from the same damn section in Target that day, depending on the item. So - what size am I? Oh, I’m Meaghan size, okay, cool. Second of all, even if I had bought all XXL that day or had to go to another store because Target sizes weren’t working for me, who cares? And I need to bring both of those attitudes to the scale. That number doesn’t mean anything. I’ve proven time and again, both to myself and on this blog, that that number on the scale is a filthy damn liar. It bears no reflection whatsoever on your value as a person. It doesn’t even reflect how well - or not - you ate that week or how often - or not - you exercised that week. Sometimes I’ll be on point and the scale won’t move or will go up and other times I won’t be on point, but I’ll lose weight. So that number is more or less meaningless. It’s not even a reflection of health since the number of pounds you weigh does not reflect your muscle to fat ratio on your body, your cholesterol, your blood pressure, etc.

If I can finally believe that clothing sizes are meaningless and don’t matter, why can’t I believe that about the scale? What is stopping me from realizing that that number doesn’t matter, and I don’t have to put any value in it? Well, I’m working on it, you guys. I’m working on it.

Part II of the closet transformation happened yesterday. I went through everything I don’t wear because, at least in my mind, it is too small or doesn’t fit well. I got rid of 23 items - 10 of those I hid somewhere in my house (my husband did this for me) because I know I shouldn’t look at them everyday and think about how they don’t fit me, but I’m not ready to give them up. It is very likely that this is not my “final” weight once I “normalize” via intuitive eating. I fully expect to drop somewhere between 20 and 30 pounds, even though I won’t be focusing on that or working toward that as a goal. When I went from 275 to 190, I set aside a box of clothes that were too big but that I wanted to have re-sized because I loved them so much. I recently opened up that box, figuring that a few of those items might fit me now, and I actually tossed a lot of them because I didn’t love them enough to pay to have them re-sized. I am expecting the same to one day happen with the stuff I hid yesterday. The first step is to stop looking at them. The next step is to one day look at them again and not care as much as I once did.

The other 13 items are going to either Goodwill or my best friend, with most of them going to my best friend. I realized I was giving away a lot of black, and she is required to wear black at work, so then I started looking at everything like, “Will I still love this in a year? Will my BFF love it now and want to wear it? Should neither of us have this?” Somehow it was easier to part with things if I knew they were going to my friend as opposed to Goodwill. Don’t worry - I cleared it with her first before setting things aside for her.

The end result means that my closet and dresser are filled with things I want to wear and will wear - I also got rid of underwear, socks, workout tops, etc. that aren’t even being factored into the 23 items - those were just from my closet. I have a short list of things I need. All of my leggings have thigh holes in them or starting to grow; I never realized how many nude undergarments I needed, so it is time to replenish; and it was hard to justify keeping two strapless dresses while also throwing out my old, ill-fitting strapless bra. But mostly I am ready to get dressed every morning and feel good about my clothes.

And I have to work on generating that same feeling about my body itself - to look at it everyday and feel good about wearing it.

Adam: Let’s do this. We are live. Welcome to Episode 276 of Hump Day Hangouts. Got the whole Semantic Mastery team here. We’re going to do some introductions, let everybody know how it’s going, who everyone is, in case you’re new to Hump Day Hangouts. And for some reason, you haven’t been watching us for the previous 275 episode. So we’ll get into that and then we’ll get some quick announcements for you. And then we’re going to jump in and start answering questions. So start at the top of my screen and work my way down. So Bradley, how are you doing today?

Bradley: I’m well happy to be here. I’m having issues with my Google Drive though. It’s not sinking with my computer like it’s supposed to. And it’s driving me nuts. But other than that, things are good. How are you?

Adam: Yeah, not bad. Just enjoying some warmer weather something in 70s. So looking forward to getting outside and enjoying that after this. Good. What was that? Anyways? Hernan How’s it going? I like your shirt by the way.

Hernan: Doing great. Look at this. And then good, really good. Really excited to be here.

Excited to for the questions today so good and that we were totally not sending gifts before hopping live so that’s not what’s happening on the Slack channel for some of you know,

Adam: so when Bradley shares his screen that was not us posting all those gifts on us. Marco How you doing today?

Marco: I am muted and now I’m not. Look for yourself. Let me know how I’m doing man. Bright, sunny. I told you coasteering it’s Groundhog Day, man. You guys go back to the other episodes where I’ve been on cam and a hump day Hangout. It’s always like this. during the dry season. Of course. When the rain comes at this time, we’ll get an electrical storm that will get a nice rain shower, but then it’ll go away about 6pm and then wake up and it’s bright and sunny and beautiful and get to POFU motherfucking. So you can be the same shit. That’s it. And we paved the way and we help you every step of the way. I mean, what could be better than that? You guys are doing it. And I said it before. If you’re not, if you’re failing, if you’re not taking action, don’t push it off on us. Because you’re the one who has to take that first step and say, Okay, let me get going. And that first step will take you to the next one, and the next one will get you to where you’re going. But I’m good, man, I’m living the life, man.

Adam: Outstanding! Well, I gotta ask you you know and I’m not joking around. Do you ever get tired of the same weather like day? I mean, I know it changes between the seasons but like Does that ever get here? Are you just happy with it being nice like that?

Marco: This is what I want. If I wanted something up like I go somewhere else, but But why? Like I’ve lived in Argentina. I went with my wife a couple of times. And I just don’t want to live the cold again. I don’t like it and so I know what I like I know what I want. This is what I want.

The next step is a beach house you know that has to be like on the side of a mountain so we can overlook the ocean. You guys will be getting pictures from there too. Yeah. Or video. Yeah, that’s in the work. So

Adam: Very good. Very good. All right. And last but not least, Chris. How are you doing? Man? I’m glad you’re hanging in there that you haven’t been quarantined yet. I know things in Europe. Some parts of Europe are getting a little scary with the coronavirus.

Chris: Yeah, like I’m doing good. Let’s go that way. No sore throats or anything no cold Yeah, like I’m still alive, kicking, things are good.

Adam: Cool. Cool. All right. Well, we got a few things we wanted to mention. One of those. We’ve got a really cool special going on. We had a webinar with Jeffrey Smith on Monday and that coincided with a great special we have grown. We’ve got a Mardi Gras special going right now for SEO shield, which combines the power of several of the components not only of our training but of the done for you components that are available at MGYB. I’m going to post the details on the page. If you’re watching live, you can definitely still grab that it’s 20% off, you can save a bundle but that’s not all we got going on. And Marco had an update with some cool stuff that has just come out. So, Marco, do you mind tell me about that.

Marco: Yeah, and I mean, it This isn’t scarcity or anything like that. We don’t play that game. Right. And we don’t play that we will be raising prices in 30 minutes and there are only this many lefts. The problem with what we’re doing is that Google will eventually catch on and kill it. But we’re currently verifying GMBs for those of you who are interested. And not only that they come with a 30-month guarantee of replacement. If something happens if it gets suspended. After those 30 days, what you can do is buy insurance, which means that if it does get suspended, we’ll go and lift the suspension and so we put this package in this package together, which allows you to do both. It allows you to get your GMB’s, and then get some insurance in case it gets suspended. And I will post the links on the page, so you guys can head on over there and get it while it’s hot. And if you wait too long and it gets closed off. Again, don’t blame it on us. It’s you. You didn’t take action. We get a ton of those emails. As a matter of fact, don’t you because you’re the email guy, Adam, and I see them coming through. I’m sorry, I missed the special. Can you guys do it? No. No, we can’t. We had the launch. That was the price. Then it goes up because it’s worth that much anymore. And that’s it. So don’t come whining later. Oh, look, I missed it. I couldn’t watch whatever, your granny died, you shut your door. Whatever happened. We don’t care. You gotta go get it while it’s hot. And I’m gonna go drop the mic. Thank you.

Adam: All right. And real quick. I wanted Hernan. You released some training for double your agency. I believe you had that last week. Bradley. I know you just dropped a new update for double your agency, right?

Bradley: Yeah, today was week six. I just completed the training for week six. Today was about the content or this week’s training about content marketing. So yeah,

Adam: Outstanding! So if you’re an agency owner or a consultant, if you want to get more clients, if you want to grow your revenue, you want to scale your team, so that you can literally work less and earn more, right? That’s it’s kind of a tagline. It sounds like the four-hour workweek or something. I mean, you got to do work. Nobody said, you know, yeah, there was no work. But there are ways to do it so that you work less and earn more and that’s what this is about. Okay, I said it before, but I’ll say it again, get more clients, grow your revenue scale your team. You want to go check this out, just head over to 2xyouragency.com. I’ll put the link on the page as well and then for those of you who are looking for more repeatable results with SEO, you know we’ve updated Battle Plan it’s been going for years we update it yearly and you can still get it it’s a battleplan.semantic mastery.com and we’ve been talking as well about MGYB. You know if you’re just watching us for the first time if you want done for you services, like syndication networks, RYS drive stacks, link building, press releases, what Marco was just talking about with the GMBs, all sorts of good stuff head over there. It’s MGYB.co. And last but certainly not least, we’ve been talking about I think some emails went out. Being the email guy I should certainly know when they went out but it was either last week or the week before and talking about POFU Live. This year, it’s going to be it’s our third year in a row. We’re going to be in Boston, Massachusetts. It’s the last weekend in September. We’re cooking up something fun for the VIP day. And I just wanted to speak on that real quick if you go and get tickets, we’ve priced this competitively so that you can get the VIP ticket. That’s where we really want people to go. We want to have a good time we want to spend the time getting to know you and for everyone else to get to know each other before we dive into the main event, you know it’s not it is about having fun, but also getting to know each other so that when you show up, you get the most value out of it. So when you see the pricing on that you can see that reflected we really, you know, we don’t want to charge you thousands of dollars to come to the VIP event. We just want to cover the cost you could show up have a great time last year we went go-karting. It was a blast, one of the guest speakers at the event kicked all of our butts and walked away with first place and then went on and gave a great presentation. So anyway, looking forward to seeing as many of you is can fit into the 25 person limit event that we have. And I believe actually we’re down to 21. So right now if you want to grab your ticket, it’s a great time. It’s the lowest price you’re going to see it and that’s in September, so now’s a good time to snag it start planning for it.

So what did Dadea name his racing persona. God, what’s that banner? Yeah, yeah, he’s right. It showed up on the screen up there. So yeah, that was awesome. I forgot about that. Awesome. So we’ll have some more information about that. Of course, as we get closer, we’re locking in some stuff about the VIP event, exact locations, but it’s going to be in Boston’s gonna be last weekend in September. So now is the time to do that. Other than that, guys, we’ve got anything else we need to cover before we jump into it.

Marco: Yeah, I’m gonna turn off my camera because too much sun isn’t good for you.

Bradley: It’s not good for us. You mean.

Marco: Good for you guys. So too much sun for us is not good. Yeah.

Adam: Real quick. I see Mohammed asking you did battle plan version four released No. But maybe keep your eyes and ears peeled for that. We do update it yearly. So that’s all I’ll say for now. It’s coming.

Bradley: Coming. Okay, can we get any questions? Do it? Let’s go. You guys should be seeing this correctly.

How To Rank A Long Tail Keyword?

Great. Yes. Where were we? a great first one is hi how to rank a keyword and longtail version of it. Which time we have guys? Um, I would like to do it with long-form content, but it doesn’t help. Even though it’s supposed to be in the same post. I’m not sure maybe does it help even though it’s in this? I’m not sure I’m understanding the question. Hold on a minute do a branded syndication network and RYS stack will rank videos okay. Or is it better to do tiered syndication?

Alright, so for the first question, how to rank a keyword and a longtail version of it. Go look at silo architecture that’s pretty much industry standard for how to rank a keyword. And a longtail version of it would be, you know, so one of the things go look for Google at Bruce clay silo architecture website silo architecture, read through that article. And that’s will teach you how to set up silo structure we also have on our YouTube channel, youtube.com/semanticmastery, use the channel search feature and look up silo structure complex or simple silo structure, you’ll be able to find videos where we talk about how to set up silos, your broad keywords would be like a top of a silo and then having adding supporting keywords or supporting articles for long that are optimized for long-tail versions of the keyword is a great way to rank for a keyword. Now that’s not the only thing that you need to do, but that is one of many, but that’s typically where we would start is creating some sort of silo for the broadest or most competitive of keywords and then adding depth to that side low using supporting keywords and that’s how you build topical relevance for that particular keyword, which creates buoyancy throughout the entire silo. What I mean by that, I mean, if you have a silo structure set up properly, and your internal linking done correctly, and your keyword theme is, is tight. In other words, it’s you have very similar and related type keywords right all within the same theme. Then anywhere that you inject link building or adding content, adding depth to that silo is going to create buoyancy throughout the entire silo, meaning all of the keywords that the silo has been optimized for will start to surface higher in the search engine results pages. Now that’s, that’s in theory, how it’s all supposed to work, but there’s also off-page issues and everything else. So that’s a loaded question. There’s way too much to cover and a hump day hangout on how to rank a keyword. It’s way too broad. But that’s where I would start is developing a content strategy for how you’re going to attack those particular keywords. They may want to comment on that before I go to part two.

Yeah, the SEO shield, right? Must have if he wants to really push I mean once he has his siloing together and then and the on-page is tight, you push with the SEO shield and that’s going to start pushing, even more, ranking power into all of the silos that he’s working with. Then he starts the isolation process we have everything covered. I mean, we’ve done it all for free. Go to our YouTube channel and search for these things go to our free Facebook group and do a group search for many of these things have already been covered silo-like Bradley said we have two videos on there on simple silos and complex silo structure. Jeffrey did an awesome job on Monday on covering some of these things and how he approaches it my approaches is a bit different because I like to work top-down rather than bottom-up, but it all has the same effect. It gets your stuff moving ranking it brings in people traffic is what you want at the end of everything.

Alright, so hopefully you are watching what I was just dead I just went to semantic or youtube.com/semanticmastery, use the channel search feature. And typed in the silo structure. There’s a complex silo, there’s simple silo structure. I would just click through watch those start with simple silo structure and then develop your content strategy. And as Marco said, Yeah, I mean, I was talking about strictly on-page, that’s where I would start. But absolutely, there’s no doubt, our off-page methods or how we push power into everything that we do. So when I talked about creating a silo and in creating buoyancy throughout that entire silo that’s perfect for what the SEO shield does because it’s basically pushing relevancy into that silo as well as all the so that entire category, that entire silo would get powered up. So absolutely, I agree with that. All right, we’re going to keep moving as soon as I can.

Come on, get back to the tab. There we go. All right.

Does Having A Branded Syndication Network & RYS Stack Help In Ranking Videos?

Next question was does a branded syndication network without second-tier and RYS stack? Will it rank videos? Yes, it will. I mean, that’s again, it’s one of many things that can be done. But that is certainly something that can help a branded syndication network with YouTube though, I would recommend multiple syndication networks. So tier two syndication networks are great. You can also add additional for tier-one syndication networks not branded persona-based or topically like themed but not branded. Right. So there’s you can add as many syndication networks to YouTube channels you as you want, there’s there are no footprint issues as long as you keep the applets the way that we set them up, there are no footprint issues whatsoever, so you can stack as many as you want. I always prefer for YouTube SEO but an RYS always have two-tier networks built that I attached to the channel.

But you know, again, you can do several tier one, you can do multiple tier twos, whatever you want. I just recommend with YouTube videos add more syndication networks to the channel. Okay. As far as RYS, yeah, because you can. For example, if you have a branded syndication network, for your channel, and then you have a drive stack built and a G site that’s going to power up your syndication network, which will ultimately power up every video that you ups upload or live stream to your channel that gets that syndicates out. So absolutely, it will help.

Again, I recommend a tiered syndication network for YouTube’s SEO, but RYS stack. Absolutely. That’s without question. It’s going to power up your syndication network or your two-tier network if you have one of those. That makes sense. Okay. Any other comments on that guys?

Marco: Yep. embedsm link buildingm and trickle some traffic in there. Yeah. paid you traffic, just trickle it in it. You don’t have to pay a whole lot of money to give it a boost to get Google. And then what you have is an audience, right? You have to have a targeted audience for your videos, which can convert so you’re accomplishing several things all at once.

Bradley: Yeah, I mean, I didn’t mention the traffic side of it. But there’s no question that I don’t do YouTube SEO without buying relevant traffic directly from Google ads for the video. I mean, that it there. I don’t do SEO for YouTube videos anymore without traffic. And in fact, the only thing I do to SEO YouTube videos anymore is just uploads them or live stream them to a channel that’s connected to syndication networks, syndication networks have all been powered up via link building. But that’s it. That’s the only thing I do SEO wise is I upload them to the YouTube channel that goes out through my syndication networks that are aged and they’ve been powered up with link building. And then I set up a traffic campaign through Google ads to buy cheap views directly from Google, which is perfectly legit. It’s encouraged, in fact, from a relevant audience, if it’s for local then I buy it within a specific geographic area. So they’re all local IP clicks or views, but also from a relevant targeted audience. So using stuff like in-market audiences, or life event audiences, those types of things that Google knows that those views are weighted views, because or Google weights those views more because they’re from my relevant audience and audience that is interested in that. And we know they’re interested because we’re buying that interest from Google if that makes sense. So there’s, again, I do not do any YouTube SEO campaigns anymore without that being part of it. They’re two sides of the same coin. If that makes sense. There’s the SEO and you can push some of that with embeds and link building as well, as Marco mentioned from MGYB. But setting up the engagement campaign using Google Ads is absolutely critical and that’s how I maintain it. Once the video has been ranked that’s all I do is just that I have a YouTube ads set up for it that continually drives relevant views to that video, which keeps it ranked. And that’s it and I’ve got videos have been ranked for years and that’s the only thing that I do to them is just keep I’ve got campaigns I’ve shown them in the mastermind and in some other training too. I’ve got campaigns that I literally run on 40 cents a day for in YouTube ads, that’s $12 a month in ad spend. And it keeps those videos ranked because of the relevant traffic. That makes sense. So it’s a very, very powerful way to boost any SEO effort is to buy relevant traffic.

What Are Your Thoughts On Magic PR?

Okay, next question is from Dustin he says, hey all great shows always I wanted to ask if you heard of Magic PR. I’ve heard good things in Facebook groups and some of the Skype groups I just wanted to hear your opinion of their service and if you have used them I have not but I know that Marco had. I know the guy, MAG is his name. I know the guy that I’ve chatted with the guy that runs it I know Marcos had some communication with the two but I’ve actually never tested it what do you market. Do you remember talking with MAG?

Marco: I’ve been meaning to get back to him because it because I’ve been wanting to run a test with his press release service and with some of the GMBs that I have to see how it works right as he says that he can get a local push or, or greater so I really want to test it out. I can’t say what it does other than what Mag and the people that he’s around with what they have to say and I have heard really good things about having said that our press release or the one that we use press advantage works really really well. I mean when you combine it with our methods right with that SEO shield, and pushing all of that relevance and pushing traffic and those links into that SEO shield and then link building behind that and then you running the embed gigs doing

Everything that we recommend. It has, I mean, it’s just fantastic for what we do. And we can show I mean, people say, well press releases that they’re they get, they fall off the index and whatever, we don’t care, we don’t care. They don’t drive traffic. That’s not true. We can show where they do drive relevant traffic, we can show it. And especially if you get into them because there’s a premium that you can pay and get into Yahoo Finance and I forget what other Sir, I don’t want to say anything other than I know that we can get into Yahoo. It really, really has a great effect, especially on the traffic that you get its relevant traffic into whatever it is that you’re doing. And it’s all of those signals that we’re looking for. So we have that I’ll talk to Matt and as sometimes as you and if you’re listening to me Mag sorry that I haven’t gotten back to you, because I’ve been snowed under with a hope. Excuse me, under just stuff and I will get to you.

Yeah, it’s interesting but it’d be nice if I’m if I pause my screen I could do it I could show you that Press Advantage you know does produce quite a lot of referral traffic my real estate business I get a lot of referral traffic from Press Advantage so it’s you know if I and I guess it shows it as a referral source and analytics, so it’s there’s absolutely good traffic there.

Do You Have A Video That Shows How To Submit Order Info In MGYB?

Anyways, we’re going to keep on moving. Next is, I ordered your link building starter package for the new business domain. I’m new to link building I just ordered it following the battle plan is every video that shows us how to submit our info for our order. I’ve seen your video that says not to include money sites so can you give examples of all the links I should be giving you also do I wait until the SEO Power Shield was finished? Yeah. Okay, so our link building service. Anything I can point you to but um, as far as like training but you know one of the things that are on our list to do is to add a simple video for each page like order page that essentially will walk you through what you need in order to place the order that will get done eventually guys I don’t know when it’s on the to-do list I promise. But in the meantime it’s very very simple, don’t we none of our link building campaigns are designed for direct to money sites, they’re all built all of the link building campaigns are developed specifically for powering up tier one entity assets or you know anything beyond your money site essentially. So we use them for powering up the power shield, the SEO shields, syndication networks, Id pages, press advantage organization pages can be used for citations, social media, web 2.0s, all of that. Anything that’s really tiered one, branded type assets can be powered up with our link building packages. So with that said, when it comes to ordering everything that you can collect to add to your link building order, I think it’s up to 100 URLs that you can submit with your order, you want to add to your target URL list because you want to power up all of those tier one assets, right, all of your branded assets everywhere that you can get your new business, your new projects, your new company, new brand name published online. And with a branded profile, you want to try to get as many of those as you possibly can and add those into your list. Now that said, the ones that should you wait for the power the SEO shield to be complete? Yes, because those can be added into your link building order. And essentially, you can take all the files and folder URLs and put them into that text file that you upload when you order links, which will do will power up all of the files and folders within your RYS stack in your G site.

So if you have a senate if you got a power shield then I’m assuming I can’t remember which different levels they are but a syndication network to against adding your syndication network profile URLs into the link building order. If you have a GMB map, add the map URL, Google My Business website adds that it just not a money site. Right, because it’s not designed our link building campaigns are developed for that. But that’s pretty much all you need to do. It should be fairly simple. Just gather up your tier one entity as is branded profile URLs, add them to a text file, save it and then upload that as your target URL list. As far as keywords you want to add market-level keywords, not keywords with location modifiers. What are market-level keywords or top-level keywords product and or service keywords without location? modifiers Okay, and when you’re ordering link building, you should try to submit a minimum of 200 keywords, more is better, but 200 is the minimum and just submit those via text file as well. Does anybody want to comment on that?

Hernan: Yeah, that’s our training for link building right there. We’re gonna cut it and then we’re going to put it on the sales page for MGYB.

Marco: Just so people know, we develop the package is the link building packages with the idea that people would already have the syndication network, right the tier one branded, the are the drive second t site and the @ID page and their media page, which is in the @ID. So our thought is always the people will go and complete these other steps before ordering our link building package. Because our link building packages are meant to power all that up. It’s not intended for the money site is intended to hit everything that’s protecting the money site so that the power transfers over without or I’m not gonna say without the chance of a penalty, but with minimized risk, because of the way that we’re doing. If you were to hit the money site directly, then that there are other parts of the algorithm that you might trigger that you don’t want to get into. And so I would recommend if you haven’t done those steps that you go back and you do those steps first so they can gather up all of the URLs that we target for link building and submit those.

Bradley: There you go. Can you still hear me? I had stopped share. So we here okayLet me see if I can bring that back up now. Alright, so here’s a pulled open, you can see that this is just referral traffic sources for Alpha Land Realty. I’m just bringing back up the previous question about press advantage. Look at that. So besides Facebook, the second most referral traffic that I’ve had in the last 30 days from my real estate businesses from Press Advantage, so there’s no doubt and that’s just the last 30 days. So you can see this no doubt that there’s traffic coming from Press Advantage. I want to point that out.

Marco: Yeah, Nuff said. There you go. If you can’t believe your eyes and then I don’t know what but believe.

Bradley: Don’t believe your lying eyes.

Do iFrames Count As Backlinks?

Alright, next one is do iframes count as backlinks? What’s really the advantage and making use of iframes? Marco that is absolutely your question.

Marco: Yeah, it is. But I mean it. It took two days for me to or two webinars for me to cover iframes and entities during the charity webinars. So what I’m going to do is I’m going to post the charity webinar page, and I’m not there’s no minimum to order the there’s no max, I always say you, your heart will tell you whether to donate and your wallet will tell you how much. So I’m going to drop the URL so that you can go and donate and you’re going to get access to not only this year’s webinars or the past webinar series, but the one before that. So there’s like 10 videos that talk all about the entity and how to power it up talks about RYS Academy, it talks about iframes. And what iframes are, what they do, and why they’re so different from everything else. So I’ll just leave it at that because it’s too much to cover in. But what do we have in that? 31 minutes? I probably didn’t get all up.

So there you go.

What SEO Strategy Do You Recommend Apart From Using Geotagged Phone Images And Reviews?

All right. Mohammad’s got a couple of questions. What’s up, buddy? He says, Hey, guys, my car dealer client has been encouraging me to make use of his staff to help me rank him. That’s awesome. It’s rare that you get real help from the staff from businesses, I find it really difficult to get people to cooperate with me. Anyways, he says I took him up on his offering got the staff to regularly send geotagged phone images for GMB posts and even have them uploading showroom pictures to GMB directly through the app. I make sure they send me responses to reviews they get to my question is what else can I have them do to help me rank whether in GMB or elsewhere?, I usually have trouble getting this kind of cooperation. So I want to make the most of it. Yeah, I mean, I don’t know what else you could get them to do because that seems like they’re doing a lot already as far as like, you know, more than most of my clients are willing to do, which is great. So, yeah, if you can get them to upload images directly to GMB through GMB map on there, or excuse me, GMB app on their phone, that’s great. So that’s uploading photos that are geotagged. Something else they can do is actually create posts from the GMB app if that’s something that they’re, you know, willing to do or if you’re even comfortable with them doing it. The reason I say, I don’t think it’s any issue whatsoever. But if you were to have them actually create posts to a lot of them probably won’t want to do that, because that would require them to add some tax call to action, all that kind of stuff. So it’s likely that they’re probably going to give you resistance and just want to upload photos, which is fine.

So the alternative would be also to have those images that the photos that they took also shared, added to a shared Google Photos album. That’s how my team does it. So any of my clients that do provide photos, which isn’t a lot of them, but the ones that do, all they do is they have their technicians in the field or whatever, actually, take photos, and then they get copied into a Google shared photos album, that my VA my bloggers have access to, so that they can go just pluck an image from that shared photos album, and use that as a GMB post. And it contains the same metadata from when it was uploaded. So you can still get the geo relevancy and my VA is doing the blogging, create the GMB posts essentially, so that the client doesn’t have to do that all the client has to do is take photos, and they’ll automatically be added to the Google Photos album. So that’s, that’s all I typically do. As far as what you’ve got them doing now, it seems like you’re doing you know, quite a bit. So yeah, I mean, I would just do more posts if possible using geotagged images, targeting the keywords and or locations that you’re trying to optimize for. As far as additional things that can be done while you already know the Muhamad, right, all the SEO shield stuff, link building, embeds and that kind of stuff. Marco, do you have any?

Marco: Yeah, I got a word of caution because if you ask them to do too much, they’re going to start wondering why they need you and you don’t want to get into that. They’re doing everything you need for relevance, location relevance, and this would be a product relevance, right? Since it’s an automobile is a product, it’s not a service. This is cars and you’re getting all the different makes and models and you can start, you know, you have Local GMB Pro. And so you know what to do with all of the all of these different categories that you’re getting, you know exactly what you need to do, what the next steps are. And as Bradley said to them, post them, create posts with these automobiles you know how to relate everything one to the other, and then push power and that’s Local GMB Pro. You have that, follow the training and you’re gonna get great results.

Bradley: Yeah. I agree with that. That’s one of them, you know, if a client of mine wanted to do GMB posts, I wouldn’t mind them doing it. But typically, I actually one of my pest control company, they started having their technicians do that. But they very quickly decided they didn’t want to do it, which was okay because they were shitty posts anyways, they weren’t up to my standards. So, you know, through trial and error, we learned the best thing to do is just have them add photos to a shared Google Photos album and let my blogger handle the GMB posts because then they’re set up their siloed, they’re well worded, proper target linking, you know, target URL linking all of that, so.

Would It Cause A Ranking Problem If The Business Name Use Words And Symbols Interchangeably?

Fitz is up. He says good agents, thank you for this platform to give real-world answers that work. I have a client whose business name includes the word and some expressions of their name, then use the ampersand is this huge problem? Well, it’s not as big of a problem as some of the other discrepancies I’ve seen. But it is still an issue, it can create NAP issues. I’ve got several clients that have done that in the past as well, where they’ll have ampersand and some other brand names and others it will be and Andy, as all you know, it, is it a huge problem. Is it causing a huge problem that would be the question I have for you fits. If it’s not really creating much of an issue, I wouldn’t worry about it? If you are having a hard time, you know, getting your desired result for a particular you know, maps pack ranking. For example, let’s just use that as an example. Then Yes, that would be something I would address would be a cleanup, citation cleanup.

So I would either whatever it is, and the GMB, I would leave it that way, if that’s the correct format, how is their name legally registered? That’s how I would have it. Right, that makes sense. So in other words, however, they’ve incorporated their corporation or LLC or whatever it is that. However, it’s registered with that with their state, is how I would list it in the GMB and then many discrepancies out there I would have edited, cleaned up, corrected to be the new the right the proper format. But that again, I wouldn’t tell you to just do that just because if you’re getting the results that you want, anyways, just leave it. It’s what I’m saying. Don’t do it just because it could create a problem in the future. If it’s not creating a problem. Now, I wouldn’t worry about it. But if you need that, if you’re having trouble getting the desired result that you want, that is absolutely one thing that I would address, citation clean up.

And depending on how many there are out there, if it’s a lot then I would recommend paying Loganix to do it because they have a really, really good successful citation cleanup service. If you go to semanticmastery.com/loganix, you can see their citation cleanup service. There are other services out there that are less expensive, but I found their success rate isn’t as great or as high as Loganix’s. And so even though Loganix is expensive when I whenever I have a new project that has a bunch of NAP errors on the web, that’s who I use because they get the vast majority of them over the course of like, I think it’s an eight or a 10-week process. So anybody wants to comment on that?

Marco: Yeah, you probably know this already. But Pearl Trees has a problem with the ampersand. Right and pulling in the embeds or the iframe. It has a really big problem with an ampersand. And there are other times when it can cause an issue with some embeds and some other websites.

It’s just that ampersand so I prefer the end although I am percent in a business name is the recommended way to go. Yeah, so go figure, right. I know it’s code and so we don’t know how pro-Jesus is doing and how it’s pulling it in and why the ampersand creates conflict, but it does. So maybe it’s not an IP issue but if he had it and he submitted it to us for us to go and create the @ID or if he were to submit it to Dadiea for an embed run, there might be issues

Yeah.

Would It Be Okay To Create Social Media Accounts That Are Not Necessarily Related To A Client’s Industry?

Okay, Muhammad’s up again he says Hey guys, I’m using no um to build social accounts for clients now has tons of sites covering a wide swath of the internet, is there any risk in getting all accounts for a particular client, even if a particular website isn’t necessarily related to that client industry, I wouldn’t put a cinema on Angie’s list for example, am I mixing up citations with social accounts? Yes and no. I mean, remember, a lot of times just having a profile on on these web platforms, it’s not necessarily something that you’re going to be pasting or publishing content to. So even if it’s not really relevant, it’s about having an additional presence. It’s another publishing point for your NAP.

You know, I don’t think it’s harmful. I don’t know how helpful it is. Maybe Marco would have a better answer to be to even have a profile on like kind of an unrelated site, but the way I look at it is if you’re just setting up a presence there, then I don’t see there being any harm and having like, for example, I’m trying to think of there’s there’s some of these like art sites out there right there like web to auto blog platforms for people that are artsy. Like the art projects and stuff, yet I’ve used them quite a bit for another semantic cover social hub right as a way to kind of just build another presence and you can interlink sometimes to some of the other social media profiles and that kind of stuff. And even though none of the projects I work on have anything to do with art, it’s still just another profile point. So I don’t think that causes any problems. I don’t know how beneficial they are. But I know that having an NAP published in more locations typically helps market and comments on that. I look at it from a standpoint of protecting the brand.

So it’s totally acceptable, and I think very natural for you as you would, and I’m referring to the client, right, of course, for you to protect the brand. And to go to these websites and lock in that profile. You know, you just have to put the basic information then you don’t have to go too far out, get that NAP in there. And that’s what you need so that if Google comes crawling in there and it sees it, it’s going to not I mean, it’s just more places for your entity to exist more places for Google to pull up to pull in entity information, and all things being equal. They never on the web, we understand that but all things being equal when two entities are being compared against what’s happening in Google’s database and the relational database, the one that has the best entity, as far as things go right now, that’s the winner. And if you’ve taken care of that, and if you’ve gone and locked in all of these profiles, and you’re showing it as part of the entire brand, there I don’t I see absolutely no problem with that.

Yeah, I mean, as I said, I’ve never been concerned with it is being an issue. We just build them out as we go. So and

What Is The Best Way To Make A Drive Stack For A Translated Website?

Alright, so moving on. The next one was, what is the best way to make a drive stack for a translated website. Do we make a syndication network for each language? I can’t even answer that because I just don’t do anything outside of the US English base us projects but any any any advice there I know Hernan and Marco both have done a lot of foreign language stuff over the years.

Marco: Yeah, I mean, we, we don’t generally do it in another language, although we have, it’s not something that we want to do because we want our builders to focus on whatever it is that they’re doing. It requires a whole lot of information. We did one for gurgi, by the way, I think it was Hungarian. So we can do it but you have to supply all of the information, all of the content, the images and everything that you want it. You can write to [email protected], and say that you’re looking to do a drive stack in a different language. As far as do you make a syndication network for each language? You could since each one it’s either on a subdomain or in a folder inside the root domain. So each one of those will have its own feed. That’s a whole lot of work, man. That’s a whole lot of work. I mean, I could guide you a little bit more. The only thing that I tell you to go take a look at apple.com and how they handle their languages. So you’re gonna have to look at the source code, but I think you’re gonna get a really good idea on how to approach this and how Apple approaches it. And I mean, that’s as far as I’m willing to go with this and in a free forum.

Bradley: Hernan, did you want to comment?

Hernan: No, I do agree with Marco. I was about to say what he said. Okay.

Bradley: Hernan’s at a bar or something.

Hernan: I might or might not be early drinking. Yeah.

It’s damn near five o'clock here too. So why

Does The RYS Require A GMB Listing?

Alright, cool. Alright, next is does the RYS must have a GMB listing? No, it doesn’t have to what if the site is not local related? Again, it doesn’t have to. Doesn’t need an NAP name, address, phone number and a GMB listing type if it’s not for a local business, but drive stacks can push relevancy into any type of project. So, can I give an address outside the USA and still ranked for a place inside the USA? Where are you trying to rank for a place or for a keyword? Because you’re asking about not having a GMB listing? Do you need one or can you get away with not having one and then you’re asking about ranking for a place in here which is typically location based ranking which is maps and a GMB type stuff. So I’m not sure if I’m understanding the question, but as far as can you have an address outside of the US safe and use the GMB stack or excuse me in our iOS stack to rank for keywords in the USA? Yes, of course you can. And I’m not sure I’m fully interpreting or comprehending that question, Marco Do you have any?

Marco: Nah man because I need to know whether whether it’s local In which case, you need a GMB to local. Well, you don’t. You can rank in organic. Right, you can still do an organic push, but if it’s triggering a map path, then you’re going to need a GMB lesson to go in there with the rest of the map and try to hit that top three. So this is very confusing. I don’t know which way you’re going because this is the one time where local doesn’t matter. We need to know whether you’re targeting location or whether you’re targeting USA overall.

Bradley: Yeah. Yes, if you can clarify if we still have time we’ll we’ll try to answer with a better answer.

How Do You Use The Bit.ly Account Included In The Single Tier Syndication Network From MGYB?

Okay, I guys I just received my first single-tier syndication network from your store. I have no idea what to do with the empty Bitly account suggestions gratefully accepted. Nothing whenever you syndicate content, whenever you publish content if it’s whatever your publishing, whatever your content publishing engine is, right, whether it’s your blog, if it was an RSS drive syndication network or YouTube channel, or both, whenever you publish content, it will automatically create a bit link. The only reason why we because bit link used to have public profile pages for Bitly. But they did away with that a couple of years ago, but you can still siphon some domain authority, not that we give a shit about domain authority metrics, because we don’t, but you can still siphon some domain authority from Bitly just by auto shortening links, which that’s all that does. The applet, whenever you publish content, will create a bit link just a bit the short link inside your Bitly account. That’s all that that’s for.

Does Having A Suspended GMB Page Affect Other Listings Within Same Account?

Alright, the next question is from Jay. He says after winning my service area business client of the consequences for two years one of his GMB was suspended for using a mailbox service the address. I highly doubt we can get the GMB back. My concern is with the suspended GMB and his Google account, or his other mailbox GMB’s at higher risk for being in the same account as the suspended one. He is now motivated to handle this risk so far as to seek now to rent office space. So yeah, I can understand that. I’m concerned. In the meantime, though, his account will be hit very hard. Any suggestions? Yeah. Okay. Let me give you my experience with that because I don’t know the answer. Jay, I don’t know if it’s going to be any more of a risk or not. I know that I have some accounts that have I’ve had a couple over the last maybe six months suspended. And, like some locations, one off locations. I’ve had a couple too. So I’ve had two locations suspended in the last six months or so that are were suspended within an account that has more than one location. And so far it hasn’t affected any of the other locations. I’m a bit gun shy or nervous to go in and do any changes to any or make any edits or anything to any of the other listings in that same account. But one of the things I would suggest possibly doing to pot to perhaps avoid that issue would be to go in and maybe move add a different Gmail account for each location that you have. So go in and create new G or by Gmail accounts, preferably by some aged accounts if you can, and go in and add a user. So the new Gmail account per location, so each location gets a new Gmail account added as a user and then maybe transfer ownership to that new Gmail account.

So that and make everything standalone. If that makes sense. The reason I say that is because I know that one of the big things that happened in the last few weeks with another big GMB suspension, a, you know, a Google one on a raft and suspended a whole bunch of GMB’s is that manager accounts were hit. We know because some big names got hit with some big manager accounts that were managers of, you know, dozens and dozens if not hundreds, and hundreds of GMBs, and all of them they all got taken down. So if a manager account got hit got caught up in this suspension nightmare, then all of the GMB’s within that manager account got suspended and that’s what can be huge. Imagine that right? Imagine if you lost all of them at one time, that could really suck. So that’s why it makes sense to be safe right to play it safe and to have each GMB its own standalone Google account, without a common manager connecting all of them that way, especially if their spam accounts. That’s my point, guys. They’re all legit businesses, I don’t see why there’s any reason why you would have to worry about having a manager attached to all locations, that doesn’t seem to be a problem. But if they’re against the terms of service type listings, PO boxes, UPS stores, you know, that kind of stuff or just, you know, nonexistent addresses, then if you have a manager account connected to all of them, that’s going to make all of them susceptible to being suspended, which is why it would be better to have each one of them in their own standalone Google account with no manager connecting them together, so that if one gets suspended, it’s isolated to that. Does that make sense? So that’s what I would do is I would start going through that process of, I would buy some aged Gmail accounts, go through adding the user, add a user, once the users accepted the invitation, then you can change them as opposed to the primary owner and didn’t go back in and remove. And in fact, you can do that through the new Gmail account. Once the private mary owner has been named in the new Gmail account, you can use that account to actually remove the managers and owners or previous owners. And that way now you’ve got it compartmentalized into one Gmail account.

Also, we do have a listing suspension lifting service. I don’t know that that would help. But you could always try that. And, of course, it would help it’s suspended in the special can be lifted, doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how it got suspended. As long as they haven’t gone through the process of notifying Google of the suspended trying to get it lifted that way, then total, we can totally get it back for you. And anything else that happens to that manager account world where this other stuff is we can lift the suspension and guarantee it for six months. So that if anything happens to it, during that time say get suspended again, for whatever reason, as long as you don’t notify anybody of the suspension we go in there and lift the suspension again. So you get it so it’s peace of mind for for for six months until you find an alternate. That’s why this service was developed along with the GMB verification because we know what’s going on. And by the way, I have a bunch of stuff and manager accounts, but I kept myself like I don’t I didn’t have hundreds in one manager account. Yeah, I spoke here how I was doing it. I was dividing it up and I was never putting like, let’s say 150 plumber GMB in one account, that’s the tell that to tell I wanted to I wanted it to look like an agency managing several accounts across different niches. And so far so good, man. I’m gonna knock on wood.

Yeah.

Mohammed, yeah, the next Battle Plan. We’re working on that. It’s coming out soon. We can’t give you time yet. Um, alright, so it looks like he clarified some of the questions about the drive stack with the location. She said to ask for just in case you need an address. Now you don’t need one if it’s not a local project and you don’t need an address at all, just your top-level keyword, the brand name, that’s how you start to build that association. And then you know, add your keyword list and the primary target URL that you want to push relevancy to, which would be your website, you don’t need an address then. Okay.

Does Splitting A Keyword With Multiple Words As Chain Of Anchor Texts Add SEO Value?

If time left is splitting a keyword with multiple words as a chain of anchors as each anchor text is one of the words so I got a little bit of a headache from that question. This putting a keyword with multiple words as a chain of anchors. As each anchor text is one of the words that will add SEO values or just for hiding backlink voting.

Adam: I don’t understand the question. I’m sorry. One is the same as taking something like this tree service company and making one anchor text best one tree one service, one company or you know, no, I, I was just for hiding backlink building. I don’t know why you would do that at all period, honestly. Yeah, I mean, I understand what you’re saying now because Adam did a good job of explaining what it is that you’re asking. I can’t imagine why you would do that. Especially if it’s all going to the same link. And in fact, that that actually devalues the link, doesn’t it Marco? When you have multiple links to the same target URL from the same page?

Marco: Yeah, Yeah, it does.

Bradley: So no, I don’t know why you would even do that. Yeah, I don’t know why you do that. I don’t know who gave you that advice, but I don’t think that’s good advice, but I haven’t tested any of it. So to be honest with you, I can’t really tell. I don’t know why you would do that though.

What Is Tunneling?

So last part is he says Vasquez, I’m assuming he’s talking about Hernan mentioned in one of the videos, something about tunneling. Can he explain what he meant about that? What is for and how to use it and how. He must be talking about iframe, what we call iframe,

Hernan: I did that. Yeah, I did that or sleep strange. Remember when we were pushing each other one of the two. So yeah.

Marco: He’s getting the Latinos confused. We all look alike.

Hernan: Yeah, man. Come on now. Get your Latinos. Right.

Adam: Yeah, we can get some clarification on that. Maybe we can help them out. We got a couple of minutes here.

Bradley: But yeah, I think I think as far as there was a similar question up here about how to iframes pass power. Right? Do iframes counters backlinks? What’s really the advantage of making use of these iframes? It seems to me like it’s a very similar question to what this one is about tunneling. So the answer would be if you want to learn about all the all that Marco was talking about go make a donation to this charity right here. And you’ll get access to all the webinars that Marco have done for two years now about iframes and you know, pushing power into the entity and all that kind of stuff.

Okay.

Is It Okay To Use MGYB Link Shortener For Client’s Use?

Lastly, Mohammed says, Hey guys, there’s still time. Would it be weird to use the MGYB link shortener for clients use? I guess I’m thinking it would be odd to have mgyb.co around their properties, but I want to use it. Yeah. Okay. That’s, that’s huge. In case you guys aren’t aware, mgyb.co now has a link shortener available, which is super powerful because we’ve been building it for two years authority to and I’m not talking about Moz’s domain authority metrics I’m just talking about we’ve been building authority to the mgyb domain over the last two years because of all the drive stacks that we build for customers, and all the link building campaigns and everything. Although the shortened URLs have been coming to MGYB. So we’ve pushed a lot of damn power into probably still logged in. Anyways, let me click on upgrade and there are different plans. If you go to mgyb.co/s, for shortener, you can sign up and then there’s a free plan and then there are paid plans. And you just saw the dashboard. Right? So this is the dashboard and it’s super, super powerful. I get what you’re saying though Muhamed on it because I just actually did content marketing training for the two extra agency. Today, I just finished it today. And I was talking about that because one of the things that I do or my team does for my clients is we silo GMB posts right? But we don’t use the long ugly and we use when we silo GMB posts. We link to the previous GMB posts within the same silo. We do a text-based link in the GMB post Text body not the call to action button. The call to action button is usually read for either linking directly to a blog post URL, just called a deep link right, or linking to any tier one entity asset. But the way that we daisy chain the GMB post together is to link to the previous GMB post URL within the same silo but we do that as a text link within the text body of the post the GMB post. But because the URLs are stupid, ugly, a lot like stupid long and ugly for GMB posts and GMB post text-only allows up to 1500 characters, we don’t post that really stupid, ugly long URL in there, it would be ugly. So what we do is shorten it. And I was just talking about this in the 2xyouragency training today I was saying MGYB is a great shortener for that because it’s super powerful. However, for clients, I’ll be 100% honest with you guys, for clients, I use the Pretty Link Pro plugin on their domain, and I shortened the URLs that we use in the GMB post with their own branded domain. And I do that because it’s prettier that way, and it makes sense. So its third domain in the text of the post body as opposed to mgyb, although, like I said, probably wouldn’t care.

Hernan: Real quick. Can you do like a double thing where you shorten the MGYB shortner?

Bradley: Sure, you know what I’m saying? Good. Yeah, you could not a bad idea because there’s a lot of cool things you can do with MGYB shortened to like, you can add retargeting pixels into the link so that when somebody clicks the link, they get added to the retargeting list. So there’s just a lot of really cool things you can do with here. So yeah, as Hernando said, that’s something that is possible. You could do an MGYB short URL and then shorten that or pretty it up with a domain redirect. You know, like Pretty Links redirect that makes sense.

Marco: I have a few things because there’s really no problem using a link shortener that nobody had a problem using goo.gl. Nobody has a problem using Bitly or anything else that’s out there for clients or for whomever. I mean, it’s common practice to use a shortener, and most websites don’t have their own URL shortener. And so they go and use a third-party URL shortener, which is what you’d be doing in the first place, Muhammad. However, having said that, we do have the capability of creating your own custom shortener inside the MGYB shortner, Muhammad. So I would suggest that you contact [email protected], and ask about having your own domain inside. You’d receive the same power, but you’d have your own domain inside the short nuts fucking awesome, then, I know the stuff that we could I mean, we have to test it out. It’s an idea that Rob and I just just threw back and forth in Slack while this was going on. I’m pretty sure that it can be done. And you know, we just have to see what the cost would be and if it’s financially feasible for you, Muhammad and if it isn’t, then just use the MGYB shortner. Nothing wrong with that. It’s a shortener among a bunch of other shorteners that are out there in a shortened URL land.

Very well. Alright guys, five o'clock. We’re wrapping it up. Thanks, everybody, for being here. guys next week. Thanks, guys. Bye, everyone. Yep,

Yeah.

Would It Be Okay To Create Social Media Accounts That Are Not Necessarily Related To A Client’s Industry?

So it’s totally acceptable, and I think very natural for you as you would, and I’m referring to the client, right, of course, for you to protect the brand. And to go to these websites and lock in that profile. You know, you just have to put the basic information then you don’t have to go too far out, get that NAP in there. And that’s what you need so that if Google comes crawling in there and it sees it, it’s going to not I mean, it��s just more places for your entity to exist more places for Google to pull up to pull in entity information, and all things being equal. They never on the web, we understand that but all things being equal when two entities are being compared against what’s happening in Google’s database and the relational database, the one that has the best entity, as far as things go right now, that’s the winner. And if you’ve taken care of that, and if you’ve gone and locked in all of these profiles, and you’re showing it as part of the entire brand, there I don’t I see absolutely no problem with that.

Yeah, I mean, as I said, I’ve never been concerned with it is being an issue. We just build them out as we go. So and

What Is The Best Way To Make A Drive Stack For A Translated Website?

Click on the video above to watch Episode 276 of the Semantic Mastery Hump Day Hangouts.

Full timestamps with topics and times can be found at the link above.

The latest upcoming free SEO Q&A Hump Day Hangout can be found at http://semanticmastery.com/humpday.

Announcement

Adam: Let's do this. We are live. Welcome to Episode 276 of Hump Day Hangouts. Got the whole Semantic Mastery team here. We're going to do some introductions, let everybody know how it's going, who everyone is, in case you're new to Hump Day Hangouts. And for some reason, you haven't been watching us for the previous 275 episode. So we'll get into that and then we'll get some quick announcements for you. And then we're going to jump in and start answering questions. So start at the top of my screen and work my way down. So Bradley, how are you doing today?

Bradley: I'm well happy to be here. I'm having issues with my Google Drive though. It's not sinking with my computer like it's supposed to. And it's driving me nuts. But other than that, things are good. How are you?

Hernan: Doing great. Look at this. And then good, really good. Really excited to be here.

Excited to for the questions today so good and that we were totally not sending gifts before hopping live so that's not what's happening on the Slack channel for some of you know,

Adam: so when Bradley shares his screen that was not us posting all those gifts on us. Marco How you doing today?

Marco: I am muted and now I'm not. Look for yourself. Let me know how I'm doing man. Bright, sunny. I told you coasteering it's Groundhog Day, man. You guys go back to the other episodes where I've been on cam and a hump day Hangout. It's always like this. during the dry season. Of course. When the rain comes at this time, we'll get an electrical storm that will get a nice rain shower, but then it'll go away about 6pm and then wake up and it's bright and sunny and beautiful and get to POFU motherfucking. So you can be the same shit. That's it. And we paved the way and we help you every step of the way. I mean, what could be better than that? You guys are doing it. And I said it before. If you're not, if you're failing, if you're not taking action, don't push it off on us. Because you're the one who has to take that first step and say, Okay, let me get going. And that first step will take you to the next one, and the next one will get you to where you're going. But I'm good, man, I'm living the life, man.

Adam: Outstanding! Well, I gotta ask you you know and I'm not joking around. Do you ever get tired of the same weather like day? I mean, I know it changes between the seasons but like Does that ever get here? Are you just happy with it being nice like that?

Marco: This is what I want. If I wanted something up like I go somewhere else, but But why? Like I've lived in Argentina. I went with my wife a couple of times. And I just don't want to live the cold again. I don't like it and so I know what I like I know what I want. This is what I want.

Adam: Very good. Very good. All right. And last but not least, Chris. How are you doing? Man? I'm glad you're hanging in there that you haven't been quarantined yet. I know things in Europe. Some parts of Europe are getting a little scary with the coronavirus.

Chris: Yeah, like I'm doing good. Let's go that way. No sore throats or anything no cold Yeah, like I'm still alive, kicking, things are good.

Adam: Cool. Cool. All right. Well, we got a few things we wanted to mention. One of those. We've got a really cool special going on. We had a webinar with Jeffrey Smith on Monday and that coincided with a great special we have grown. We've got a Mardi Gras special going right now for SEO shield, which combines the power of several of the components not only of our training but of the done for you components that are available at MGYB. I'm going to post the details on the page. If you're watching live, you can definitely still grab that it's 20% off, you can save a bundle but that's not all we got going on. And Marco had an update with some cool stuff that has just come out. So, Marco, do you mind tell me about that.

Marco: Yeah, and I mean, it This isn't scarcity or anything like that. We don't play that game. Right. And we don't play that we will be raising prices in 30 minutes and there are only this many lefts. The problem with what we're doing is that Google will eventually catch on and kill it. But we're currently verifying GMBs for those of you who are interested. And not only that they come with a 30-month guarantee of replacement. If something happens if it gets suspended. After those 30 days, what you can do is buy insurance, which means that if it does get suspended, we'll go and lift the suspension and so we put this package in this package together, which allows you to do both. It allows you to get your GMB's, and then get some insurance in case it gets suspended. And I will post the links on the page, so you guys can head on over there and get it while it's hot. And if you wait too long and it gets closed off. Again, don't blame it on us. It's you. You didn't take action. We get a ton of those emails. As a matter of fact, don't you because you're the email guy, Adam, and I see them coming through. I'm sorry, I missed the special. Can you guys do it? No. No, we can't. We had the launch. That was the price. Then it goes up because it's worth that much anymore. And that's it. So don't come whining later. Oh, look, I missed it. I couldn't watch whatever, your granny died, you shut your door. Whatever happened. We don't care. You gotta go get it while it's hot. And I'm gonna go drop the mic. Thank you.

Bradley: Yeah, today was week six. I just completed the training for week six. Today was about the content or this week's training about content marketing. So yeah,

Adam: Outstanding! So if you're an agency owner or a consultant, if you want to get more clients, if you want to grow your revenue, you want to scale your team, so that you can literally work less and earn more, right? That's it's kind of a tagline. It sounds like the four-hour workweek or something. I mean, you got to do work. Nobody said, you know, yeah, there was no work. But there are ways to do it so that you work less and earn more and that's what this is about. Okay, I said it before, but I'll say it again, get more clients, grow your revenue scale your team. You want to go check this out, just head over to 2xyouragency.com. I'll put the link on the page as well and then for those of you who are looking for more repeatable results with SEO, you know we've updated Battle Plan it's been going for years we update it yearly and you can still get it it's a battleplan.semantic mastery.com and we've been talking as well about MGYB. You know if you're just watching us for the first time if you want done for you services, like syndication networks, RYS drive stacks, link building, press releases, what Marco was just talking about with the GMBs, all sorts of good stuff head over there. It's MGYB.co. And last but certainly not least, we've been talking about I think some emails went out. Being the email guy I should certainly know when they went out but it was either last week or the week before and talking about POFU Live. This year, it's going to be it's our third year in a row. We're going to be in Boston, Massachusetts. It's the last weekend in September. We're cooking up something fun for the VIP day. And I just wanted to speak on that real quick if you go and get tickets, we've priced this competitively so that you can get the VIP ticket. That's where we really want people to go. We want to have a good time we want to spend the time getting to know you and for everyone else to get to know each other before we dive into the main event, you know it's not it is about having fun, but also getting to know each other so that when you show up, you get the most value out of it. So when you see the pricing on that you can see that reflected we really, you know, we don't want to charge you thousands of dollars to come to the VIP event. We just want to cover the cost you could show up have a great time last year we went go-karting. It was a blast, one of the guest speakers at the event kicked all of our butts and walked away with first place and then went on and gave a great presentation. So anyway, looking forward to seeing as many of you is can fit into the 25 person limit event that we have. And I believe actually we're down to 21. So right now if you want to grab your ticket, it's a great time. It's the lowest price you're going to see it and that's in September, so now's a good time to snag it start planning for it.

So what did Dadea name his racing persona. God, what's that banner? Yeah, yeah, he's right. It showed up on the screen up there. So yeah, that was awesome. I forgot about that. Awesome. So we'll have some more information about that. Of course, as we get closer, we're locking in some stuff about the VIP event, exact locations, but it's going to be in Boston's gonna be last weekend in September. So now is the time to do that. Other than that, guys, we've got anything else we need to cover before we jump into it.

Marco: Yeah, I'm gonna turn off my camera because too much sun isn't good for you.

Bradley: It's not good for us. You mean.

Marco: Good for you guys. So too much sun for us is not good. Yeah.

Adam: Real quick. I see Mohammed asking you did battle plan version four released No. But maybe keep your eyes and ears peeled for that. We do update it yearly. So that's all I'll say for now. It's coming.

Bradley: Coming. Okay, can we get any questions? Do it? Let's go. You guys should be seeing this correctly.

How To Rank A Long Tail Keyword?

Great. Yes. Where were we? a great first one is hi how to rank a keyword and longtail version of it. Which time we have guys? Um, I would like to do it with long-form content, but it doesn't help. Even though it's supposed to be in the same post. I'm not sure maybe does it help even though it's in this? I'm not sure I'm understanding the question. Hold on a minute do a branded syndication network and RYS stack will rank videos okay. Or is it better to do tiered syndication?

Alright, so for the first question, how to rank a keyword and a longtail version of it. Go look at silo architecture that's pretty much industry standard for how to rank a keyword. And a longtail version of it would be, you know, so one of the things go look for Google at Bruce clay silo architecture website silo architecture, read through that article. And that's will teach you how to set up silo structure we also have on our YouTube channel, youtube.com/semanticmastery, use the channel search feature and look up silo structure complex or simple silo structure, you'll be able to find videos where we talk about how to set up silos, your broad keywords would be like a top of a silo and then having adding supporting keywords or supporting articles for long that are optimized for long-tail versions of the keyword is a great way to rank for a keyword. Now that's not the only thing that you need to do, but that is one of many, but that's typically where we would start is creating some sort of silo for the broadest or most competitive of keywords and then adding depth to that side low using supporting keywords and that's how you build topical relevance for that particular keyword, which creates buoyancy throughout the entire silo. What I mean by that, I mean, if you have a silo structure set up properly, and your internal linking done correctly, and your keyword theme is, is tight. In other words, it's you have very similar and related type keywords right all within the same theme. Then anywhere that you inject link building or adding content, adding depth to that silo is going to create buoyancy throughout the entire silo, meaning all of the keywords that the silo has been optimized for will start to surface higher in the search engine results pages. Now that's, that's in theory, how it's all supposed to work, but there's also off-page issues and everything else. So that's a loaded question. There's way too much to cover and a hump day hangout on how to rank a keyword. It's way too broad. But that's where I would start is developing a content strategy for how you're going to attack those particular keywords. They may want to comment on that before I go to part two.

Yeah, the SEO shield, right? Must have if he wants to really push I mean once he has his siloing together and then and the on-page is tight, you push with the SEO shield and that's going to start pushing, even more, ranking power into all of the silos that he's working with. Then he starts the isolation process we have everything covered. I mean, we've done it all for free. Go to our YouTube channel and search for these things go to our free Facebook group and do a group search for many of these things have already been covered silo-like Bradley said we have two videos on there on simple silos and complex silo structure. Jeffrey did an awesome job on Monday on covering some of these things and how he approaches it my approaches is a bit different because I like to work top-down rather than bottom-up, but it all has the same effect. It gets your stuff moving ranking it brings in people traffic is what you want at the end of everything.

Alright, so hopefully you are watching what I was just dead I just went to semantic or youtube.com/semanticmastery, use the channel search feature. And typed in the silo structure. There's a complex silo, there's simple silo structure. I would just click through watch those start with simple silo structure and then develop your content strategy. And as Marco said, Yeah, I mean, I was talking about strictly on-page, that's where I would start. But absolutely, there's no doubt, our off-page methods or how we push power into everything that we do. So when I talked about creating a silo and in creating buoyancy throughout that entire silo that's perfect for what the SEO shield does because it's basically pushing relevancy into that silo as well as all the so that entire category, that entire silo would get powered up. So absolutely, I agree with that. All right, we're going to keep moving as soon as I can.

Come on, get back to the tab. There we go. All right.

Does Having A Branded Syndication Network & RYS Stack Help In Ranking Videos?

Next question was does a branded syndication network without second-tier and RYS stack? Will it rank videos? Yes, it will. I mean, that's again, it's one of many things that can be done. But that is certainly something that can help a branded syndication network with YouTube though, I would recommend multiple syndication networks. So tier two syndication networks are great. You can also add additional for tier-one syndication networks not branded persona-based or topically like themed but not branded. Right. So there's you can add as many syndication networks to YouTube channels you as you want, there's there are no footprint issues as long as you keep the applets the way that we set them up, there are no footprint issues whatsoever, so you can stack as many as you want. I always prefer for YouTube SEO but an RYS always have two-tier networks built that I attached to the channel.

But you know, again, you can do several tier one, you can do multiple tier twos, whatever you want. I just recommend with YouTube videos add more syndication networks to the channel. Okay. As far as RYS, yeah, because you can. For example, if you have a branded syndication network, for your channel, and then you have a drive stack built and a G site that's going to power up your syndication network, which will ultimately power up every video that you ups upload or live stream to your channel that gets that syndicates out. So absolutely, it will help.

Again, I recommend a tiered syndication network for YouTube's SEO, but RYS stack. Absolutely. That's without question. It's going to power up your syndication network or your two-tier network if you have one of those. That makes sense. Okay. Any other comments on that guys?

Marco: Yep. embedsm link buildingm and trickle some traffic in there. Yeah. paid you traffic, just trickle it in it. You don't have to pay a whole lot of money to give it a boost to get Google. And then what you have is an audience, right? You have to have a targeted audience for your videos, which can convert so you're accomplishing several things all at once.

Bradley: Yeah, I mean, I didn't mention the traffic side of it. But there's no question that I don't do YouTube SEO without buying relevant traffic directly from Google ads for the video. I mean, that it there. I don't do SEO for YouTube videos anymore without traffic. And in fact, the only thing I do to SEO YouTube videos anymore is just uploads them or live stream them to a channel that's connected to syndication networks, syndication networks have all been powered up via link building. But that's it. That's the only thing I do SEO wise is I upload them to the YouTube channel that goes out through my syndication networks that are aged and they've been powered up with link building. And then I set up a traffic campaign through Google ads to buy cheap views directly from Google, which is perfectly legit. It's encouraged, in fact, from a relevant audience, if it's for local then I buy it within a specific geographic area. So they're all local IP clicks or views, but also from a relevant targeted audience. So using stuff like in-market audiences, or life event audiences, those types of things that Google knows that those views are weighted views, because or Google weights those views more because they're from my relevant audience and audience that is interested in that. And we know they're interested because we're buying that interest from Google if that makes sense. So there's, again, I do not do any YouTube SEO campaigns anymore without that being part of it. They're two sides of the same coin. If that makes sense. There's the SEO and you can push some of that with embeds and link building as well, as Marco mentioned from MGYB. But setting up the engagement campaign using Google Ads is absolutely critical and that's how I maintain it. Once the video has been ranked that's all I do is just that I have a YouTube ads set up for it that continually drives relevant views to that video, which keeps it ranked. And that's it and I've got videos have been ranked for years and that's the only thing that I do to them is just keep I've got campaigns I've shown them in the mastermind and in some other training too. I've got campaigns that I literally run on 40 cents a day for in YouTube ads, that's $12 a month in ad spend. And it keeps those videos ranked because of the relevant traffic. That makes sense. So it's a very, very powerful way to boost any SEO effort is to buy relevant traffic.

What Are Your Thoughts On Magic PR?

Okay, next question is from Dustin he says, hey all great shows always I wanted to ask if you heard of Magic PR. I've heard good things in Facebook groups and some of the Skype groups I just wanted to hear your opinion of their service and if you have used them I have not but I know that Marco had. I know the guy, MAG is his name. I know the guy that I've chatted with the guy that runs it I know Marcos had some communication with the two but I've actually never tested it what do you market. Do you remember talking with MAG?

Marco: I've been meaning to get back to him because it because I've been wanting to run a test with his press release service and with some of the GMBs that I have to see how it works right as he says that he can get a local push or, or greater so I really want to test it out. I can't say what it does other than what Mag and the people that he's around with what they have to say and I have heard really good things about having said that our press release or the one that we use press advantage works really really well. I mean when you combine it with our methods right with that SEO shield, and pushing all of that relevance and pushing traffic and those links into that SEO shield and then link building behind that and then you running the embed gigs doing

Everything that we recommend. It has, I mean, it's just fantastic for what we do. And we can show I mean, people say, well press releases that they're they get, they fall off the index and whatever, we don't care, we don't care. They don't drive traffic. That's not true. We can show where they do drive relevant traffic, we can show it. And especially if you get into them because there's a premium that you can pay and get into Yahoo Finance and I forget what other Sir, I don't want to say anything other than I know that we can get into Yahoo. It really, really has a great effect, especially on the traffic that you get its relevant traffic into whatever it is that you're doing. And it's all of those signals that we're looking for. So we have that I'll talk to Matt and as sometimes as you and if you're listening to me Mag sorry that I haven't gotten back to you, because I've been snowed under with a hope. Excuse me, under just stuff and I will get to you.

Yeah, it's interesting but it'd be nice if I'm if I pause my screen I could do it I could show you that Press Advantage you know does produce quite a lot of referral traffic my real estate business I get a lot of referral traffic from Press Advantage so it's you know if I and I guess it shows it as a referral source and analytics, so it's there's absolutely good traffic there.

Do You Have A Video That Shows How To Submit Order Info In MGYB?

Anyways, we're going to keep on moving. Next is, I ordered your link building starter package for the new business domain. I'm new to link building I just ordered it following the battle plan is every video that shows us how to submit our info for our order. I've seen your video that says not to include money sites so can you give examples of all the links I should be giving you also do I wait until the SEO Power Shield was finished? Yeah. Okay, so our link building service. Anything I can point you to but um, as far as like training but you know one of the things that are on our list to do is to add a simple video for each page like order page that essentially will walk you through what you need in order to place the order that will get done eventually guys I don't know when it's on the to-do list I promise. But in the meantime it's very very simple, don't we none of our link building campaigns are designed for direct to money sites, they're all built all of the link building campaigns are developed specifically for powering up tier one entity assets or you know anything beyond your money site essentially. So we use them for powering up the power shield, the SEO shields, syndication networks, Id pages, press advantage organization pages can be used for citations, social media, web 2.0s, all of that. Anything that's really tiered one, branded type assets can be powered up with our link building packages. So with that said, when it comes to ordering everything that you can collect to add to your link building order, I think it's up to 100 URLs that you can submit with your order, you want to add to your target URL list because you want to power up all of those tier one assets, right, all of your branded assets everywhere that you can get your new business, your new projects, your new company, new brand name published online. And with a branded profile, you want to try to get as many of those as you possibly can and add those into your list. Now that said, the ones that should you wait for the power the SEO shield to be complete? Yes, because those can be added into your link building order. And essentially, you can take all the files and folder URLs and put them into that text file that you upload when you order links, which will do will power up all of the files and folders within your RYS stack in your G site.

So if you have a senate if you got a power shield then I'm assuming I can't remember which different levels they are but a syndication network to against adding your syndication network profile URLs into the link building order. If you have a GMB map, add the map URL, Google My Business website adds that it just not a money site. Right, because it's not designed our link building campaigns are developed for that. But that's pretty much all you need to do. It should be fairly simple. Just gather up your tier one entity as is branded profile URLs, add them to a text file, save it and then upload that as your target URL list. As far as keywords you want to add market-level keywords, not keywords with location modifiers. What are market-level keywords or top-level keywords product and or service keywords without location? modifiers Okay, and when you're ordering link building, you should try to submit a minimum of 200 keywords, more is better, but 200 is the minimum and just submit those via text file as well. Does anybody want to comment on that?

Hernan: Yeah, that's our training for link building right there. We're gonna cut it and then we're going to put it on the sales page for MGYB.

Marco: Just so people know, we develop the package is the link building packages with the idea that people would already have the syndication network, right the tier one branded, the are the drive second t site and the @ID page and their media page, which is in the @ID. So our thought is always the people will go and complete these other steps before ordering our link building package. Because our link building packages are meant to power all that up. It's not intended for the money site is intended to hit everything that's protecting the money site so that the power transfers over without or I'm not gonna say without the chance of a penalty, but with minimized risk, because of the way that we're doing. If you were to hit the money site directly, then that there are other parts of the algorithm that you might trigger that you don't want to get into. And so I would recommend if you haven't done those steps that you go back and you do those steps first so they can gather up all of the URLs that we target for link building and submit those.

Bradley: There you go. Can you still hear me? I had stopped share. So we here okayLet me see if I can bring that back up now. Alright, so here's a pulled open, you can see that this is just referral traffic sources for Alpha Land Realty. I'm just bringing back up the previous question about press advantage. Look at that. So besides Facebook, the second most referral traffic that I've had in the last 30 days from my real estate businesses from Press Advantage, so there's no doubt and that's just the last 30 days. So you can see this no doubt that there's traffic coming from Press Advantage. I want to point that out.

Marco: Yeah, Nuff said. There you go. If you can't believe your eyes and then I don't know what but believe.

Bradley: Don't believe your lying eyes.

Do iFrames Count As Backlinks?

Alright, next one is do iframes count as backlinks? What's really the advantage and making use of iframes? Marco that is absolutely your question.

Marco: Yeah, it is. But I mean it. It took two days for me to or two webinars for me to cover iframes and entities during the charity webinars. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to post the charity webinar page, and I'm not there's no minimum to order the there's no max, I always say you, your heart will tell you whether to donate and your wallet will tell you how much. So I'm going to drop the URL so that you can go and donate and you're going to get access to not only this year's webinars or the past webinar series, but the one before that. So there's like 10 videos that talk all about the entity and how to power it up talks about RYS Academy, it talks about iframes. And what iframes are, what they do, and why they're so different from everything else. So I'll just leave it at that because it's too much to cover in. But what do we have in that? 31 minutes? I probably didn't get all up.

So there you go.

What SEO Strategy Do You Recommend Apart From Using Geotagged Phone Images And Reviews?

All right. Mohammad's got a couple of questions. What's up, buddy? He says, Hey, guys, my car dealer client has been encouraging me to make use of his staff to help me rank him. That's awesome. It's rare that you get real help from the staff from businesses, I find it really difficult to get people to cooperate with me. Anyways, he says I took him up on his offering got the staff to regularly send geotagged phone images for GMB posts and even have them uploading showroom pictures to GMB directly through the app. I make sure they send me responses to reviews they get to my question is what else can I have them do to help me rank whether in GMB or elsewhere?, I usually have trouble getting this kind of cooperation. So I want to make the most of it. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what else you could get them to do because that seems like they're doing a lot already as far as like, you know, more than most of my clients are willing to do, which is great. So, yeah, if you can get them to upload images directly to GMB through GMB map on there, or excuse me, GMB app on their phone, that's great. So that's uploading photos that are geotagged. Something else they can do is actually create posts from the GMB app if that's something that they're, you know, willing to do or if you're even comfortable with them doing it. The reason I say, I don't think it's any issue whatsoever. But if you were to have them actually create posts to a lot of them probably won't want to do that, because that would require them to add some tax call to action, all that kind of stuff. So it's likely that they're probably going to give you resistance and just want to upload photos, which is fine.

So the alternative would be also to have those images that the photos that they took also shared, added to a shared Google Photos album. That's how my team does it. So any of my clients that do provide photos, which isn't a lot of them, but the ones that do, all they do is they have their technicians in the field or whatever, actually, take photos, and then they get copied into a Google shared photos album, that my VA my bloggers have access to, so that they can go just pluck an image from that shared photos album, and use that as a GMB post. And it contains the same metadata from when it was uploaded. So you can still get the geo relevancy and my VA is doing the blogging, create the GMB posts essentially, so that the client doesn't have to do that all the client has to do is take photos, and they'll automatically be added to the Google Photos album. So that's, that's all I typically do. As far as what you've got them doing now, it seems like you're doing you know, quite a bit. So yeah, I mean, I would just do more posts if possible using geotagged images, targeting the keywords and or locations that you're trying to optimize for. As far as additional things that can be done while you already know the Muhamad, right, all the SEO shield stuff, link building, embeds and that kind of stuff. Marco, do you have any?

Marco: Yeah, I got a word of caution because if you ask them to do too much, they're going to start wondering why they need you and you don't want to get into that. They're doing everything you need for relevance, location relevance, and this would be a product relevance, right? Since it's an automobile is a product, it's not a service. This is cars and you're getting all the different makes and models and you can start, you know, you have Local GMB Pro. And so you know what to do with all of the all of these different categories that you're getting, you know exactly what you need to do, what the next steps are. And as Bradley said to them, post them, create posts with these automobiles you know how to relate everything one to the other, and then push power and that's Local GMB Pro. You have that, follow the training and you're gonna get great results.

Bradley: Yeah. I agree with that. That's one of them, you know, if a client of mine wanted to do GMB posts, I wouldn't mind them doing it. But typically, I actually one of my pest control company, they started having their technicians do that. But they very quickly decided they didn't want to do it, which was okay because they were shitty posts anyways, they weren't up to my standards. So, you know, through trial and error, we learned the best thing to do is just have them add photos to a shared Google Photos album and let my blogger handle the GMB posts because then they're set up their siloed, they're well worded, proper target linking, you know, target URL linking all of that, so.

Would It Cause A Ranking Problem If The Business Name Use Words And Symbols Interchangeably?

Fitz is up. He says good agents, thank you for this platform to give real-world answers that work. I have a client whose business name includes the word and some expressions of their name, then use the ampersand is this huge problem? Well, it's not as big of a problem as some of the other discrepancies I've seen. But it is still an issue, it can create NAP issues. I've got several clients that have done that in the past as well, where they'll have ampersand and some other brand names and others it will be and Andy, as all you know, it, is it a huge problem. Is it causing a huge problem that would be the question I have for you fits. If it's not really creating much of an issue, I wouldn't worry about it? If you are having a hard time, you know, getting your desired result for a particular you know, maps pack ranking. For example, let's just use that as an example. Then Yes, that would be something I would address would be a cleanup, citation cleanup.

So I would either whatever it is, and the GMB, I would leave it that way, if that's the correct format, how is their name legally registered? That's how I would have it. Right, that makes sense. So in other words, however, they've incorporated their corporation or LLC or whatever it is that. However, it's registered with that with their state, is how I would list it in the GMB and then many discrepancies out there I would have edited, cleaned up, corrected to be the new the right the proper format. But that again, I wouldn't tell you to just do that just because if you're getting the results that you want, anyways, just leave it. It's what I'm saying. Don't do it just because it could create a problem in the future. If it's not creating a problem. Now, I wouldn't worry about it. But if you need that, if you're having trouble getting the desired result that you want, that is absolutely one thing that I would address, citation clean up.

And depending on how many there are out there, if it's a lot then I would recommend paying Loganix to do it because they have a really, really good successful citation cleanup service. If you go to semanticmastery.com/loganix, you can see their citation cleanup service. There are other services out there that are less expensive, but I found their success rate isn't as great or as high as Loganix's. And so even though Loganix is expensive when I whenever I have a new project that has a bunch of NAP errors on the web, that's who I use because they get the vast majority of them over the course of like, I think it's an eight or a 10-week process. So anybody wants to comment on that?

It's just that ampersand so I prefer the end although I am percent in a business name is the recommended way to go. Yeah, so go figure, right. I know it's code and so we don't know how pro-Jesus is doing and how it's pulling it in and why the ampersand creates conflict, but it does. So maybe it's not an IP issue but if he had it and he submitted it to us for us to go and create the @ID or if he were to submit it to Dadiea for an embed run, there might be issues

Yeah.

Would It Be Okay To Create Social Media Accounts That Are Not Necessarily Related To A Client's Industry?

Okay, Muhammad's up again he says Hey guys, I'm using no um to build social accounts for clients now has tons of sites covering a wide swath of the internet, is there any risk in getting all accounts for a particular client, even if a particular website isn't necessarily related to that client industry, I wouldn't put a cinema on Angie's list for example, am I mixing up citations with social accounts? Yes and no. I mean, remember, a lot of times just having a profile on on these web platforms, it's not necessarily something that you're going to be pasting or publishing content to. So even if it's not really relevant, it's about having an additional presence. It's another publishing point for your NAP.

You know, I don't think it's harmful. I don't know how helpful it is. Maybe Marco would have a better answer to be to even have a profile on like kind of an unrelated site, but the way I look at it is if you're just setting up a presence there, then I don't see there being any harm and having like, for example, I'm trying to think of there's there's some of these like art sites out there right there like web to auto blog platforms for people that are artsy. Like the art projects and stuff, yet I've used them quite a bit for another semantic cover social hub right as a way to kind of just build another presence and you can interlink sometimes to some of the other social media profiles and that kind of stuff. And even though none of the projects I work on have anything to do with art, it's still just another profile point. So I don't think that causes any problems. I don't know how beneficial they are. But I know that having an NAP published in more locations typically helps market and comments on that. I look at it from a standpoint of protecting the brand.

So it's totally acceptable, and I think very natural for you as you would, and I'm referring to the client, right, of course, for you to protect the brand. And to go to these websites and lock in that profile. You know, you just have to put the basic information then you don't have to go too far out, get that NAP in there. And that's what you need so that if Google comes crawling in there and it sees it, it's going to not I mean, it's just more places for your entity to exist more places for Google to pull up to pull in entity information, and all things being equal. They never on the web, we understand that but all things being equal when two entities are being compared against what's happening in Google's database and the relational database, the one that has the best entity, as far as things go right now, that's the winner. And if you've taken care of that, and if you've gone and locked in all of these profiles, and you're showing it as part of the entire brand, there I don't I see absolutely no problem with that.

Yeah, I mean, as I said, I've never been concerned with it is being an issue. We just build them out as we go. So and

What Is The Best Way To Make A Drive Stack For A Translated Website?

Alright, so moving on. The next one was, what is the best way to make a drive stack for a translated website. Do we make a syndication network for each language? I can't even answer that because I just don't do anything outside of the US English base us projects but any any any advice there I know Hernan and Marco both have done a lot of foreign language stuff over the years.

Marco: Yeah, I mean, we, we don't generally do it in another language, although we have, it's not something that we want to do because we want our builders to focus on whatever it is that they're doing. It requires a whole lot of information. We did one for gurgi, by the way, I think it was Hungarian. So we can do it but you have to supply all of the information, all of the content, the images and everything that you want it. You can write to [email protected], and say that you're looking to do a drive stack in a different language. As far as do you make a syndication network for each language? You could since each one it's either on a subdomain or in a folder inside the root domain. So each one of those will have its own feed. That's a whole lot of work, man. That's a whole lot of work. I mean, I could guide you a little bit more. The only thing that I tell you to go take a look at apple.com and how they handle their languages. So you're gonna have to look at the source code, but I think you're gonna get a really good idea on how to approach this and how Apple approaches it. And I mean, that's as far as I'm willing to go with this and in a free forum.

Bradley: Hernan, did you want to comment?

Hernan: No, I do agree with Marco. I was about to say what he said. Okay.

Bradley: Hernan's at a bar or something.

Hernan: I might or might not be early drinking. Yeah.

It's damn near five o'clock here too. So why

Does The RYS Require A GMB Listing?

Alright, cool. Alright, next is does the RYS must have a GMB listing? No, it doesn't have to what if the site is not local related? Again, it doesn't have to. Doesn't need an NAP name, address, phone number and a GMB listing type if it's not for a local business, but drive stacks can push relevancy into any type of project. So, can I give an address outside the USA and still ranked for a place inside the USA? Where are you trying to rank for a place or for a keyword? Because you're asking about not having a GMB listing? Do you need one or can you get away with not having one and then you're asking about ranking for a place in here which is typically location based ranking which is maps and a GMB type stuff. So I'm not sure if I'm understanding the question, but as far as can you have an address outside of the US safe and use the GMB stack or excuse me in our iOS stack to rank for keywords in the USA? Yes, of course you can. And I'm not sure I'm fully interpreting or comprehending that question, Marco Do you have any?

Marco: Nah man because I need to know whether whether it's local In which case, you need a GMB to local. Well, you don't. You can rank in organic. Right, you can still do an organic push, but if it's triggering a map path, then you're going to need a GMB lesson to go in there with the rest of the map and try to hit that top three. So this is very confusing. I don't know which way you're going because this is the one time where local doesn't matter. We need to know whether you're targeting location or whether you're targeting USA overall.

Bradley: Yeah. Yes, if you can clarify if we still have time we'll we'll try to answer with a better answer.

How Do You Use The Bit.ly Account Included In The Single Tier Syndication Network From MGYB?

Okay, I guys I just received my first single-tier syndication network from your store. I have no idea what to do with the empty Bitly account suggestions gratefully accepted. Nothing whenever you syndicate content, whenever you publish content if it's whatever your publishing, whatever your content publishing engine is, right, whether it's your blog, if it was an RSS drive syndication network or YouTube channel, or both, whenever you publish content, it will automatically create a bit link. The only reason why we because bit link used to have public profile pages for Bitly. But they did away with that a couple of years ago, but you can still siphon some domain authority, not that we give a shit about domain authority metrics, because we don't, but you can still siphon some domain authority from Bitly just by auto shortening links, which that's all that does. The applet, whenever you publish content, will create a bit link just a bit the short link inside your Bitly account. That's all that that's for.

Does Having A Suspended GMB Page Affect Other Listings Within Same Account?

Alright, the next question is from Jay. He says after winning my service area business client of the consequences for two years one of his GMB was suspended for using a mailbox service the address. I highly doubt we can get the GMB back. My concern is with the suspended GMB and his Google account, or his other mailbox GMB's at higher risk for being in the same account as the suspended one. He is now motivated to handle this risk so far as to seek now to rent office space. So yeah, I can understand that. I'm concerned. In the meantime, though, his account will be hit very hard. Any suggestions? Yeah. Okay. Let me give you my experience with that because I don't know the answer. Jay, I don't know if it's going to be any more of a risk or not. I know that I have some accounts that have I've had a couple over the last maybe six months suspended. And, like some locations, one off locations. I've had a couple too. So I've had two locations suspended in the last six months or so that are were suspended within an account that has more than one location. And so far it hasn't affected any of the other locations. I'm a bit gun shy or nervous to go in and do any changes to any or make any edits or anything to any of the other listings in that same account. But one of the things I would suggest possibly doing to pot to perhaps avoid that issue would be to go in and maybe move add a different Gmail account for each location that you have. So go in and create new G or by Gmail accounts, preferably by some aged accounts if you can, and go in and add a user. So the new Gmail account per location, so each location gets a new Gmail account added as a user and then maybe transfer ownership to that new Gmail account.

So that and make everything standalone. If that makes sense. The reason I say that is because I know that one of the big things that happened in the last few weeks with another big GMB suspension, a, you know, a Google one on a raft and suspended a whole bunch of GMB's is that manager accounts were hit. We know because some big names got hit with some big manager accounts that were managers of, you know, dozens and dozens if not hundreds, and hundreds of GMBs, and all of them they all got taken down. So if a manager account got hit got caught up in this suspension nightmare, then all of the GMB's within that manager account got suspended and that's what can be huge. Imagine that right? Imagine if you lost all of them at one time, that could really suck. So that's why it makes sense to be safe right to play it safe and to have each GMB its own standalone Google account, without a common manager connecting all of them that way, especially if their spam accounts. That's my point, guys. They're all legit businesses, I don't see why there's any reason why you would have to worry about having a manager attached to all locations, that doesn't seem to be a problem. But if they're against the terms of service type listings, PO boxes, UPS stores, you know, that kind of stuff or just, you know, nonexistent addresses, then if you have a manager account connected to all of them, that's going to make all of them susceptible to being suspended, which is why it would be better to have each one of them in their own standalone Google account with no manager connecting them together, so that if one gets suspended, it's isolated to that. Does that make sense? So that's what I would do is I would start going through that process of, I would buy some aged Gmail accounts, go through adding the user, add a user, once the users accepted the invitation, then you can change them as opposed to the primary owner and didn't go back in and remove. And in fact, you can do that through the new Gmail account. Once the private mary owner has been named in the new Gmail account, you can use that account to actually remove the managers and owners or previous owners. And that way now you've got it compartmentalized into one Gmail account.

Also, we do have a listing suspension lifting service. I don't know that that would help. But you could always try that. And, of course, it would help it's suspended in the special can be lifted, doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how it got suspended. As long as they haven't gone through the process of notifying Google of the suspended trying to get it lifted that way, then total, we can totally get it back for you. And anything else that happens to that manager account world where this other stuff is we can lift the suspension and guarantee it for six months. So that if anything happens to it, during that time say get suspended again, for whatever reason, as long as you don't notify anybody of the suspension we go in there and lift the suspension again. So you get it so it's peace of mind for for for six months until you find an alternate. That's why this service was developed along with the GMB verification because we know what's going on. And by the way, I have a bunch of stuff and manager accounts, but I kept myself like I don't I didn't have hundreds in one manager account. Yeah, I spoke here how I was doing it. I was dividing it up and I was never putting like, let's say 150 plumber GMB in one account, that's the tell that to tell I wanted to I wanted it to look like an agency managing several accounts across different niches. And so far so good, man. I'm gonna knock on wood.

Yeah.

Mohammed, yeah, the next Battle Plan. We're working on that. It's coming out soon. We can't give you time yet. Um, alright, so it looks like he clarified some of the questions about the drive stack with the location. She said to ask for just in case you need an address. Now you don't need one if it's not a local project and you don't need an address at all, just your top-level keyword, the brand name, that's how you start to build that association. And then you know, add your keyword list and the primary target URL that you want to push relevancy to, which would be your website, you don't need an address then. Okay.

Does Splitting A Keyword With Multiple Words As Chain Of Anchor Texts Add SEO Value?

Adam: I don't understand the question. I'm sorry. One is the same as taking something like this tree service company and making one anchor text best one tree one service, one company or you know, no, I, I was just for hiding backlink building. I don't know why you would do that at all period, honestly. Yeah, I mean, I understand what you're saying now because Adam did a good job of explaining what it is that you're asking. I can't imagine why you would do that. Especially if it's all going to the same link. And in fact, that that actually devalues the link, doesn't it Marco? When you have multiple links to the same target URL from the same page?

Marco: Yeah, Yeah, it does.

Bradley: So no, I don't know why you would even do that. Yeah, I don't know why you do that. I don't know who gave you that advice, but I don't think that's good advice, but I haven't tested any of it. So to be honest with you, I can't really tell. I don't know why you would do that though.

What Is Tunneling?

So last part is he says Vasquez, I'm assuming he's talking about Hernan mentioned in one of the videos, something about tunneling. Can he explain what he meant about that? What is for and how to use it and how. He must be talking about iframe, what we call iframe,

Hernan: I did that. Yeah, I did that or sleep strange. Remember when we were pushing each other one of the two. So yeah.

Marco: He's getting the Latinos confused. We all look alike.

Hernan: Yeah, man. Come on now. Get your Latinos. Right.

Adam: Yeah, we can get some clarification on that. Maybe we can help them out. We got a couple of minutes here.

Bradley: But yeah, I think I think as far as there was a similar question up here about how to iframes pass power. Right? Do iframes counters backlinks? What's really the advantage of making use of these iframes? It seems to me like it's a very similar question to what this one is about tunneling. So the answer would be if you want to learn about all the all that Marco was talking about go make a donation to this charity right here. And you'll get access to all the webinars that Marco have done for two years now about iframes and you know, pushing power into the entity and all that kind of stuff.

Okay.

Is It Okay To Use MGYB Link Shortener For Client's Use?

Lastly, Mohammed says, Hey guys, there's still time. Would it be weird to use the MGYB link shortener for clients use? I guess I'm thinking it would be odd to have mgyb.co around their properties, but I want to use it. Yeah. Okay. That's, that's huge. In case you guys aren't aware, mgyb.co now has a link shortener available, which is super powerful because we've been building it for two years authority to and I'm not talking about Moz's domain authority metrics I'm just talking about we've been building authority to the mgyb domain over the last two years because of all the drive stacks that we build for customers, and all the link building campaigns and everything. Although the shortened URLs have been coming to MGYB. So we've pushed a lot of damn power into probably still logged in. Anyways, let me click on upgrade and there are different plans. If you go to mgyb.co/s, for shortener, you can sign up and then there's a free plan and then there are paid plans. And you just saw the dashboard. Right? So this is the dashboard and it's super, super powerful. I get what you're saying though Muhamed on it because I just actually did content marketing training for the two extra agency. Today, I just finished it today. And I was talking about that because one of the things that I do or my team does for my clients is we silo GMB posts right? But we don't use the long ugly and we use when we silo GMB posts. We link to the previous GMB posts within the same silo. We do a text-based link in the GMB post Text body not the call to action button. The call to action button is usually read for either linking directly to a blog post URL, just called a deep link right, or linking to any tier one entity asset. But the way that we daisy chain the GMB post together is to link to the previous GMB post URL within the same silo but we do that as a text link within the text body of the post the GMB post. But because the URLs are stupid, ugly, a lot like stupid long and ugly for GMB posts and GMB post text-only allows up to 1500 characters, we don't post that really stupid, ugly long URL in there, it would be ugly. So what we do is shorten it. And I was just talking about this in the 2xyouragency training today I was saying MGYB is a great shortener for that because it's super powerful. However, for clients, I'll be 100% honest with you guys, for clients, I use the Pretty Link Pro plugin on their domain, and I shortened the URLs that we use in the GMB post with their own branded domain. And I do that because it's prettier that way, and it makes sense. So its third domain in the text of the post body as opposed to mgyb, although, like I said, probably wouldn't care.

Hernan: Real quick. Can you do like a double thing where you shorten the MGYB shortner?

Bradley: Sure, you know what I'm saying? Good. Yeah, you could not a bad idea because there's a lot of cool things you can do with MGYB shortened to like, you can add retargeting pixels into the link so that when somebody clicks the link, they get added to the retargeting list. So there's just a lot of really cool things you can do with here. So yeah, as Hernando said, that's something that is possible. You could do an MGYB short URL and then shorten that or pretty it up with a domain redirect. You know, like Pretty Links redirect that makes sense.

Marco: I have a few things because there's really no problem using a link shortener that nobody had a problem using goo.gl. Nobody has a problem using Bitly or anything else that's out there for clients or for whomever. I mean, it's common practice to use a shortener, and most websites don't have their own URL shortener. And so they go and use a third-party URL shortener, which is what you'd be doing in the first place, Muhammad. However, having said that, we do have the capability of creating your own custom shortener inside the MGYB shortner, Muhammad. So I would suggest that you contact [email protected], and ask about having your own domain inside. You'd receive the same power, but you'd have your own domain inside the short nuts fucking awesome, then, I know the stuff that we could I mean, we have to test it out. It's an idea that Rob and I just just threw back and forth in Slack while this was going on. I'm pretty sure that it can be done. And you know, we just have to see what the cost would be and if it's financially feasible for you, Muhammad and if it isn't, then just use the MGYB shortner. Nothing wrong with that. It's a shortener among a bunch of other shorteners that are out there in a shortened URL land.

Very well. Alright guys, five o'clock. We're wrapping it up. Thanks, everybody, for being here. guys next week. Thanks, guys. Bye, everyone. Yep,

Announcement

Hernan: Doing great. Look at this. And then good, really good. Really excited to be here.

Excited to for the questions today so good and that we were totally not sending gifts before hopping live so that's not what's happening on the Slack channel for some of you know,

Adam: so when Bradley shares his screen that was not us posting all those gifts on us. Marco How you doing today?

Chris: Yeah, like I'm doing good. Let's go that way. No sore throats or anything no cold Yeah, like I'm still alive, kicking, things are good.

Bradley: Yeah, today was week six. I just completed the training for week six. Today was about the content or this week's training about content marketing. So yeah,

Marco: Yeah, I'm gonna turn off my camera because too much sun isn't good for you.

Bradley: It's not good for us. You mean.

Marco: Good for you guys. So too much sun for us is not good. Yeah.

Bradley: Coming. Okay, can we get any questions? Do it? Let's go. You guys should be seeing this correctly.

How To Rank A Long Tail Keyword?

Great. Yes. Where were we? a great first one is hi how to rank a keyword and longtail version of it. Which time we have guys? Um, I would like to do it with long-form content, but it doesn't help. Even though it's supposed to be in the same post. I'm not sure maybe does it help even though it's in this? I'm not sure I'm understanding the question. Hold on a minute do a branded syndication network and RYS stack will rank videos okay. Or is it better to do tiered syndication?

Alright, so hopefully you are watching what I was just dead I just went to semantic or youtube.com/semanticmastery, use the channel search feature. And typed in the silo structure. There's a complex silo, there's simple silo structure. I would just click through watch those start with simple silo structure and then develop your content strategy. And as Marco said, Yeah, I mean, I was talking about strictly on-page, that's where I would start. But absolutely, there's no doubt, our off-page methods or how we push power into everything that we do. So when I talked about creating a silo and in creating buoyancy throughout that entire silo that's perfect for what the SEO shield does because it's basically pushing relevancy into that silo as well as all the so that entire category, that entire silo would get powered up. So absolutely, I agree with that. All right, we're going to keep moving as soon as I can.

Come on, get back to the tab. There we go. All right.

Does Having A Branded Syndication Network & RYS Stack Help In Ranking Videos?

But you know, again, you can do several tier one, you can do multiple tier twos, whatever you want. I just recommend with YouTube videos add more syndication networks to the channel. Okay. As far as RYS, yeah, because you can. For example, if you have a branded syndication network, for your channel, and then you have a drive stack built and a G site that's going to power up your syndication network, which will ultimately power up every video that you ups upload or live stream to your channel that gets that syndicates out. So absolutely, it will help.

What Are Your Thoughts On Magic PR?

Do You Have A Video That Shows How To Submit Order Info In MGYB?

Hernan: Yeah, that's our training for link building right there. We're gonna cut it and then we're going to put it on the sales page for MGYB.

Marco: Just so people know, we develop the package is the link building packages with the idea that people would already have the syndication network, right the tier one branded, the are the drive second t site and the @ID page and their media page, which is in the @ID. So our thought is always the people will go and complete these other steps before ordering our link building package. Because our link building packages are meant to power all that up. It's not intended for the money site is intended to hit everything that's protecting the money site so that the power transfers over without or I'm not gonna say without the chance of a penalty, but with minimized risk, because of the way that we're doing. If you were to hit the money site directly, then that there are other parts of the algorithm that you might trigger that you don't want to get into. And so I would recommend if you haven't done those steps that you go back and you do those steps first so they can gather up all of the URLs that we target for link building and submit those.

Marco: Yeah, Nuff said. There you go. If you can't believe your eyes and then I don't know what but believe.

Bradley: Don't believe your lying eyes.

Do iFrames Count As Backlinks?

Alright, next one is do iframes count as backlinks? What's really the advantage and making use of iframes? Marco that is absolutely your question.

So there you go.

What SEO Strategy Do You Recommend Apart From Using Geotagged Phone Images And Reviews?

Would It Cause A Ranking Problem If The Business Name Use Words And Symbols Interchangeably?

Fitz is up. He says good agents, thank you for this platform to give real-world answers that work. I have a client whose business name includes the word and some expressions of their name, then use the ampersand is this huge problem? Well, it's not as big of a problem as some of the other discrepancies I've seen. But it is still an issue, it can create NAP issues. I've got several clients that have done that in the past as well, where they'll have ampersand and some other brand names and others it will be and Andy, as all you know, it, is it a huge problem. Is it causing a huge problem that would be the question I have for you fits. If it's not really creating much of an issue, I wouldn't worry about it? If you are having a hard time, you know, getting your desired result for a particular you know, maps pack ranking. For example, let's just use that as an example. Then Yes, that would be something I would address would be a cleanup, citation cleanup.

Yeah.

Would It Be Okay To Create Social Media Accounts That Are Not Necessarily Related To A Client's Industry?

Yeah, I mean, as I said, I've never been concerned with it is being an issue. We just build them out as we go. So and

What Is The Best Way To Make A Drive Stack For A Translated Website?

Bradley: Hernan, did you want to comment?

Hernan: No, I do agree with Marco. I was about to say what he said. Okay.

Bradley: Hernan's at a bar or something.

Hernan: I might or might not be early drinking. Yeah.

Very well. Alright guys, five o'clock. We're wrapping it up. Thanks, everybody, for being here. guys next week. Thanks, guys. Bye, everyone. Yep,
