Creating SEO Time Management Strategy
-
Hey Mozzers!
Everything nowadays is automated- social media, content calendars, etc.. I am trying to get more organized with my time so that I can make sure each client is getting a fair amount of work, but this can be tough as one person managing 20 various campaigns; it leaves little time for connecting with influencers and finding those organic connections for link building.
I was recently watching an old WBF 'Building a Monthly SEO Action Plan' and it missed the mark a bit on what I was hoping for. I was wanting Rand's time and what he prioritizes; reporting, link building, content refinement...
What SEO time management strategy have you found useful? How do you break down your time each month/per campaign?
Thanks!!!

'20 campaigns for 1 person, I can't believe that's a good thing.'
I feel the same way. I am hoping in the future to move away from monthly projects towards more one-off campaigns/services, but nevertheless this is the job I've been given. That is why I am trying to squeeze the most out of my time and find a process where I can be strategic and focus on/prioritize for x,y, and z.
Automating my reporting seems like the most obvious place to begin but can you believe I have yet to even start there. I'm making it a priority for Monday, done!
I was hoping someone would have a monthly maintenance schedule/guideline they use and would like to share. Like
- Xhrs Analyzing/Reporting
- Xhrs Fixing Technical Issues
- Xhrs Link Building
- Xhrs Content/Blogging, etc..

Hi Ryan,
20 campaigns for 1 person, I can't believe that's a good thing. What happens if hell brakes loose for 1 or 2 in the same week. But nevertheless. I would focusing on making sure that your reporting is automated as much as possible to make sure you won't have to spend a lot of time on this. So most of the times you can focus on the things that need brain power. Not sure if you're looking for some more specific information about a certain topic.

Unsolved GMB Local SEO question
I am trying to diagnose how one particular competitor is smoking us in local rankings. I came across a text field “Service Details' within Google My Business Services. This allows me to put in a brief description of each service we offer. My thought is that this could be a good place for keywords. That said, the descriptions are not public facing (or to the best of my knowledge) so I am reluctant to do all the work for nothing. I am wondering if anyone has filled these out and if there were any noticeable results. Any insight is appreciated

Outbound Links for Local SEO
I am working on building an area guide page for a local hotel website. The hotel itself has a lot to offer in forms of on-site entertainment and they are concerned about sending people away from their website (and their business). However, it's also important to write about the area and local attractions in close proximity to their hotel for many reasons, including building local authority. Is there any benefit to adding links to the Google My Business/map listing of the local attractions? Or can we just simply not include external links?

Is using meta refresh as a redirect method bad for our SEO?
Our CMS creates Call-To-Action buttons that use a meta refresh to redirect and MOZ stops it's crawl. The MOZ crawler hits these redirects and is unable to pass to the desired URL and so reports issues. So could this be happening to other crawlers or will most indexing be unaffected by this method? Essentially, is using meta refresh as a redirect method bad for our SEO?

Community Discussion: Miriam's 2017 Local SEO Predictions ... And Yours?
I want to start this thread by thanking everyone in our community who has started and contributed to great threads this past year. You guys are an inspiration! I want to offer up a few predictions for the Local SEO industry in 2017 and ask you to contribute your own: Attribution will be big in 2017. Google will roll out a more thorough set of attributes in the GMB dashboard as we move forward through the new year. We'll see further rollout out of paid packs in service industries in which Google can play the middle man role. Free-packs won't be gone by the end of the year, but there will be fewer of them. Even SMB local businesses will have to start to tackle the ramifications of voice search. Local SEO will continue to merge with traditional, offline marketing. Local business websites will still matter, but Google will continue to do all it can to keep users within layers of its own local product, and some people will find this maze a bit bewildering. Reviews will finally be recognized as an integral facet of citations, rather than as something separate from them. Now, please, look into your own crystal ball and share your predictions with the community. What are your predictions for Local SEO in 2017? I'd love to know. And, while I'm at it, please let me wish each of you a busy and profitable new year in our exciting industry!

Feedback to what to offer to my clients on my SEO website - local to Boise ID

Start a company from scratch. Ecommerce, Service, or Informational I know #3 involves all SEO, so it will be challenging, but 1-3 is what I've been doing for 10 years.
