This month’s Ask an SEO question comes from Heather, who asks:Great question, Heather, and it’s not as loaded as it originally sounds. It’s an easy one to resolve when you don’t overthink it. When you use the same approach for law firm SEO or any niche SEO, you’re creating the same experience for the search engines. Search engines need the best experience – not the same. That’s why using similar strategies doesn’t work. Look how each law firm is unique and use that as a strength.

Today’s Ask an SEO question comes from Roy in Dinajpur:“My website URL [is] still [in] position No. 15. How can increase to No. 3 or 4?”Great question, and likely one of the top five that get asked. The answer is situational, and it is easier to resolve when you don’t overthink it. The first thing to do is to look at the current pages in the top 10 positions and create a list by page of:What they have in common. Talking points and topics they cover.

If you’ve attended a marketing conference and felt like everything was below your knowledge level or that your questions weren’t answered, there’s a good reason for that. Not everyone is advanced, and not everyone is a beginner. National conferences ensure that the speakers cater to the majority of the group rather than specific individuals at higher and lower levels, with the exception of pre-show workshops and beginner-level tracks. Pro-tip: Ask questions during the Q&A and at the show.

This week’s Ask an SEO column comes from an anonymous asker:Backlinks are a part of SEO as a way to build trust and authority for your domain, but they’re not as important as link builders claim. You can rank a website without backlinks. The trick is focusing on your audience and having them create brand demand. This can be equal in weight to backlinks but drives more customers. Once you are driving demand and have created solid resources, backlinks start occurring naturally.
