Quotes

  • "Google feeds off text. They can't really read images or videos. So, the more text you have on each page, the easier it is for them to read, understand, and know what keywords you're targeting." -Brandon Leibowitz, Owner, SEO Optimizers

  • "Any page that you want to rank needs text. Without text, its going to be pretty hard to rank on search engines. And it has to be 100% unique, not just copying text from one page to another." -Brandon Leibowitz, Owner, SEO Optimizers

  • "If someone's searching for how to fix a refrigerator, you can probably write a couple 1000 words. But, if someone's searching, how to tie my shoe, maybe a couple 100 words is sufficient." -Brandon Leibowitz, Owner, SEO Optimizers

  • "If everyone's writing 2000 words, you should probably write 2100 words. You want to do a little bit more than the competitors are doing." -Brandon Leibowitz, Owner, SEO Optimizers

  • "You can use ChatGPT as an outline for content. But don't just take that content verbatim. Rewrite it and make it read properly, because it's just machine learning." -Brandon Leibowitz, Owner, SEO Optimizers

  • "I hear theyre going to watermark AI writers. So the search engines will be able to see if it's AI versus human written content." -Brandon Leibowitz, Owner, SEO Optimizers

  • "In the past, the more backlinks you had, the better off you were. Now, it's not the number of backlinks, but the number of quality backlinks." -Brandon Leibowitz, Owner, SEO Optimizers

  • "I've looked at tons of keywords over the years and to this day, whoever is on the first page of Google, 99.999% of them are all going to have backlinks." -Brandon Leibowitz, Owner, SEO Optimizers

  • "Without good quality content on your website, and incoming backlinks from relevant websites, you're not going to get that trust and Google is not going to know what keywords to rank you for." -Brandon Leibowitz, Owner, SEO Optimizers

  • "Don't just read and listen, test to see what works and what doesn't work. No one's giving you exactly what works in the search engines." -Brandon Leibowitz, Owner, SEO Optimizers
