The Bootstrappers Guide to SEO
How does Juicy Results guarantee its SEO service to clients? The answer is process. By first studying Google’s intended user experience, we have been able to develop our completely white-hat framework to build search engine traffic for just about any type of business.
And now, we are publishing our internal operations manual for you to use for your company. The Bootstrapper’s Guide to SEO shares our core philosophy of why Google ranks the pages it does, and shows how you can systematically take advantage of this understanding to build a far-reaching, customer-generating search engine presence.
The Bootstrapper’s Guide to SEO is more than just a book, though.
We have designed a complete kit to launch your SEO initiatives and have even included the actual tools and worksheets we use within our firm today.
As you have probably discovered, there is no shortage of information about SEO available on the web. However, you’re likely frustrated by how much of this information is theory, abstract, highly technical and even conflicting. At Juicy Results, we value clarity and principle-based learning, so you will find this guide a pragmatic and clear read.
The process and habits outlined in this book will get you Page One rankings in Google—if implemented. Our goal is to make you as effective as possible, with as little work as necessary.
No waste, just productive effort.
We’ve outlined the process so that you can standardize these processes and ideas within your organization—even if your entire organization is just you.
What’s In The Bootstrapper’s Guide To SEO?
The guide is broken down into five core sections. We first explain the core concepts of how Google works and the claims they have made about their vision for their search product. Understanding these underlying principles will guide your decision-making when completing the SEO exercises. From there, the Guide dispenses practical, step-by-step processes for building your Page One rankings.
