    Google & HTTPS

    Good for building trust with customers, but i've not seen it provide any ranking benefits like some would have you believe.

    Competitor higher up Google with no content

    GoldenLeads is talking sense. Without you telling me the sites that are ranking above you, I'd guess it's because they have more (and higher quality) links than you. If you find you don't need links to rank well, you aren't ranking for anything competitive. It's as simple as that. If you...

    Where to find employees for SEO business

    If you're not building links you aren't ranking anything competitive. Be it via Outreach (still link-building) or Content Marketing (yet again, still link building).

    What do SEO companies do?

    I linked to that more in regards to finding out company goals, analysing where (and if) SEO can contribute to these goals, testing/measuring and learning. In regards to the no link building I'd disagree. Personally, I'd also say that reaching out to publishers and people with your content is...

    Forum signature and SEO

    Brand link is fine and looks natural - of course people will put their company in their signature on a business forum. Just don't expect it to give massive SEO benefits.

    Is backlink still important for SEO?

    Yet is still just as relevant then as it is now. Google "seo myths" and check out the Moz blog post by Cyrus Shepard titled "10 SEO Myths that Friggin' Tick Me Off". Sadly i can't post links yet! Automated link building isn't a good strategy any more (never has been, in my opinion), but link...

    Anyone having problems with Google Location settings

    I'm getting this problem today. When setting my location manually it seems to be getting overwritten and my actual location is being used. I.e city instead of just United Kingdom.

    That goes without saying. Good content has always mattered and has been preached - this isn't a new finding.

    Is backlink still important for SEO?

    Links are still an incredibly important ranking factor. Anything that Google tell you not to do (link building) is because it's effective. Now it's more fashionable to just call it "outreach" and "content marketing". If you're contacting people in regards to content that you have created and the...

    How Would You Improve This Tweet?

    Then you also get to build a list to sell to further down the line and notify of new products and offers - great idea! :) I get my clients to do this with great success.

    Software for SEO

    Don't admit to using GSA here, you'll have the "OMG CREATE GREAT CONTENT!!" brigade here in a minute! ;) The same people that say to not build links, yet they do "outreach". If you're doing "outreach" to get people to notice your content, share your content and link to your content...you're...
