#344 - 1 Year Since HCU: What’s Working Now
Season 1 · Episode 344
mardi 27 août 2024 • Duration 01:15:03
🚨 Grab our FREE list of 47 under-the-radar tools that will boost your business 👉 https://ahkr.to/tools-swipe
____________________________________________
Just as we sat down to record our 1-year anniversary of the HCU podcast, Google threw us another curveball... A massive update that's seemingly undoing some of the HCU damage.
But even with these improvements, many sites are still down 80% in traffic compared to last year. To fully recover, they'd need a 400% increase.
So the burning question is: What do we do now? 😧
In this episode, we created an inventory of what's effective today, so you can explore all the options out there and find a strategy to invest your time in now that will yield dividends later down the line.
We break down real-world examples of businesses thriving with alternative strategies, how we're adapting our own strategy, and our predictions for what will work in the years to come.
We're talking real businesses, tangible results, and actionable strategies you can start implementing today.

#343 - English Teacher Makes 7 Figures without Google
Season 1 · Episode 343
lundi 12 août 2024 • Duration 01:12:46
Want to learn how to build a repeatable, manageable system to actually make socials generate big bucks for you?
We’re not talking spamming shitty AI images to boomers on Facebook or Pinterest.
We’re talking *building a real business that will survive platform changes*, unlike many of the tactics floating around these days.
In this episode, we chat with Lucy Simkins to reveal how she transformed her side hustle to a 7 figure per year business - in one of the most competitive markets - without relying on Google at all.
We break down her exact content creation process for achieving incredible reach, unique lead capturing strategies, and exactly what works (and doesn't!) in her sales funnels.
Lucy was incredibly generous with information throughout the interview, so whether you're learning how to use social to build an email list, or how to monetize it, this episode has something for you.

#334 - March Core Update Analysis with Lily Ray
Season 1 · Episode 334
lundi 8 avril 2024 • Duration 56:12
As we come to the end of the March 2024 Core update, many things have changed in the Google landscape, and it’s time to start looking at where we landed.
To help navigate these changes, we wanted to bring a guest that’s out in the trenches every day - prominent and very opinionated character in the industry, Lily Ray 🔥
She hares a ton of interesting insights about SEO on social media, including a lot of original research.
In this episode, Lily and Gael get straight to it and cover many of the hottest topics in search right now, including:
👉 the visibility changes of pure content sites and how your business model may affect your visibility
👉 Reddit and Quora monopolizing search results and how long it may last
👉 HCU, and the divergence between Google’s guidelines and what we observe
👉 signals outside of the“traditional” that Google is giving a lot of importance to these days
We also take a look at specific examples - and they often break the rules - so don’t miss out on this one.
