My Black Hat World Journey
A 2017 account with 10 posts, going for 100 real ones and a sales thread. Every post, in my own words, as it happens.
The Series

Where It Started, 2017 To 2023
The handful of posts I made between 2017 and 2023, and the one where I laughed at the 100 post rule.

Do You Still Recommend Adding FAQs to Local Service Pages
Yes, do recommend doing this still however, only questions that your customers really ask. For example, pulling customer questions from your own phone calls and texts is exactly how to get the right things that your customers are actually searching.

My intro thread. Cleveland roots, learning to code from my grandfather Robert Maier, newspaper web work while at the University of Akron and the Akron Beacon Journal, three agencies sold, and back for another round.
Getting rid of the client should be a series by someone for sure though. Once you can make decisions free of interruption or others involvement it'll make a lot more sense.
