In this episode, Sophie sits down with Lucy -Jane Love, Marketing Director at Banyan Risk Group and Rowan Security, to talk about what it takes to successfully market in highly regulated, “not-so-sexy” industries—from risk management and security to finance and investment. Lucy discusses how to make content engaging, the types of LinkedIn posts that consistently perform best, and why she uses AI more for research and talking points than for writing. They also dig into platform strategy (why LinkedIn is the current home base, and why Lucy’s eyeing TikTok next), how her team manages quality control and fact-checking, and her best advice for anyone creating content for industries where customers aren’t exactly “excited” to buy. In this interview, you’ll learn:

• How to create engaging content inside strict compliance boundaries
• What types of posts perform best on LinkedIn for niche industries
• Where AI fits (and doesn’t fit) in regulated content workflows
• How to plan quarterly themes while staying reactive to real-world events
• A practical framework for finding angles when your niche feels “boring”

SEO Q&A

45:35 I have a keyword "pros + target kw + city" that was used as an anchor. It represents 70% of my backlinks anchors or about 300 backlinks. My competitor's anchor text ratio is 80% branded or naked anchors. I'm sitting in positions 10-20 for money keywords. I would like to boost the rankings of this old site.

Does using exact match anchors, even more, will affect negatively the rankings? and what would you do in my position?

SEO Q&A

31:21 We have a site where we are seeing more and more low-level (DR 0) links showing up. Mostly these links are to photos on the site. It's definitely having an effect on our site rankings.

Is this some sort of new competitor attack? And if so, any suggestions on how to defend against it? I don't want to go disavow all these sites because I'm sure it will leave a huge hole in Google's graph, which would cause even more damage. Not sure how to handle this one...

35:50 How important is it to have accurate NAP on my website and other places where I build links?

Our previous guy did some link-building after that we changed our location. So now I can’t find him to edit them.

What’s the solution?

SEO Q&A

49:44 I'm having trouble trying to rank the landing pages on a client's website for "keyword in city". The towns I'm targeting are all very small with sometimes 0 competition for that keyword.

• a lot of pages never even got indexed
• some previously indexed pages are now starting to get de-indexed
• the content was manually written (no AI content)
• URL structure: website.com/locations/city-name

Does the "build a landing page for each location" approach still work in local SEO like it used to for new sites or was there a change that I am unaware of?

I have a couple of old sites with that URL structure that I have successfully ranked with this approach and that are still ranking well, but I haven't built a new site like that in a while.

Any feedback is appreciated.
