@Ryan I'm doing pretty good. I got a scare over the holidays because I had a series of migraines that were as bad as I've ever had them. The last time I had them like that I ended up in surgery. But fortunately my head "corrected" itself and I'm doing just fine.

I'm absolutely going to get on those crawl errors, boss--I know that's been on the plate for a while now. Especially now before Cam's landing pages get going full-speed again.

Kelly (kelly@brandlytics.io)
2024-08-12 13:12:28

And as far as those local SEO tools, I think we could get a lot of mileage from the CallRail app:

> 2. CallRail > Tracking actual calls made by people who visited your site vs. just click-to-calls (a.k.a. whenever a phone number button is clicked) is where you can truly level up your SEO reporting game. > Click-to-call numbers can be misleading because they don’t account for desktop users who type the number manually or show the quality of the call. I’d prefer to report on the number of first-time phone calls rather than just how many times the call button was clicked. > I like using CallRail for call tracking because of its easy GA4 integration. After setting up a dynamic number pool on your site, you can track β€œfirst-time phone calls” to see how many new people are calling from your organic landing pages. This helps you better understand the real value of each landing page. > If you find a page with high traffic but few conversions, it’s time to look into some CRO. If you find the page is converting well but has low traffic compared to other pages, it’s time to find what keywords you can improve rankings for to get more traffic.

@Ryan I hate to bother you because I know you're busy. @Lee Zafra asked me to review the process of fixing 404 errors. I don't want to change links that might break something or reset SEO time value. Can you advise us both? Do we have a tool (maybe MOZ) that can pull out a list of 404s so we're not just stabbing in the dark? And then what do you suggest as a process? Thanks, Boss.

Kelly (kelly@brandlytics.io)

@Ryan Should we be doing anything content-wise to coincide with (1) the DEI cutbacks or (2) the rise in ICE arrests? Or do we have to wait for the 'go-ahead' from the client? Just wondering.

Kelly (kelly@brandlytics.io)
2025-02-07 11:48:14

@Ryan Please review this comment from Adrienne. The context is that I rewrote a press release using the same AI process that I always do:

"@Kelly, adding a keyword here or there is fine, but you can't rewrite the entire release; it is written purposefully. The headline and opening paragraph can't change."

I disagree with her on this. Ever since the beginning of our time doing BCL press releases, I have instructed ChatGPT to: "Rewrite and refine the press release to meet the most current best practices in press release SEO." And of all the years and releases doing it that way, this is the first time she's ever said this to me. I have a hard time believing whoever writes these releases can meet the SEO requirements better than AI.

I would just appreciate your position on this, please Sir.

As you already know, keyword placement is crucial to the release's search success. However, the editorial can't consider this because I use AI to select primary and secondary keywords, and they don't provide me with any. Just FYI.
