MARINE INDUSTRY CONSULTANT, PHIL FRIEDMAN, PUTS THE EziBuoy (tm) MOORING BUOY PICKUP SYSTEM INTO 2ND POSITION ON PAGE ONE OF 20 MILLION GOOGLE RESULTS....


There are self-purported Content Marketing and SEO gurus galore. I am not one of them.

But I get results with value-laden copy and placement strategies I've developed over the years. It also doesn't hurt that, in addition to a long history in marine business consulting, I have substantial additional background in marine-related journalism, advertising, and marketing.

My firm, the Port Royal Group, recently took on EziBuoy Pty Ltd of Perth, Australia as a consulting client in introducing the innovative new EziBuoy (tm) magnetic mooring buoy pickup system to the North American market.

The EziBuoy pickup system makes retrieval of a yacht's mooring line so easy and convenient it can be effectively employed by even the most inexperienced crew member aboard in comfort and safety.

So, working with a great product, we set out to create commanding copy and a cost-effective strategy to introduce the EziBuoy (tm) system at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (#FLIBS) using what I've come to call "in the aisles marketing".

With the result that we've rocketed the EziBuoy brand and product to the second position of the first page of a simple one-word Google search that returns 20 million results.

Note for the record, that we are not here employing the parlor trick so often favored by self-designated SEO experts. Namely, using a unique title or key term in the copy, then searching on that unique term.

It's pretty easy to get onto page one of a Google search if you include in your published copy a pretty unique term such as "The Grizzled Grinch-Free Goliath", then search on that term. But such results demonstrate nothing meaningful concerning the raising of market profile.

No, the searches referenced here employ simple, single-word, generic search terms, such as "mooring" and "buoy" ― sans any reference to a name or other unique multi-word search term. And the results speak for themselves.

Yes, Martina, you are missing the main point. But I have no intention of engaging with you to defend against your hostile presuppositions. Thank you for reading and commenting.

#2 - Thanks, Susan \ud83d\udc1d Rooks, the Grammar Goddess. Of course, as I mention below, not everyone's search results will be the same because, given the volume of results, Google and other search engines track where you are and what you've searched and visited, etc. and then filter your search results according to your geographical location and other collected data. But my core point is NOT to focus on directly manipulating SEO but to concentrate on the organic development of market profile on the web. This involves placing value-laden content on various platforms and sites, often in the form of separate and distinct pieces that share a common content theme (not the same copy). To do this requires strong, authoritative copy that cannot be produced by twenty-one monkeys pounding at random on computer keyboards. Cheers!

Of course, Martina, your results may differ because as most of us know, Google (and Safari) filter individual results based on geographical location and other factors they monitor, including the searches one does and the sites one visits. If you bother to read the piece, you will note that the core of my thesis is NOT to focus on directly manipulating SEO but to concentrate on the organic development of market profile on the web. This involves placing value-laden content on various platforms and sites, often in the form of separate and distinct pieces that share a common content theme (not the same copy). Thank you for reading and commenting.
OK, I admit to being impressed with this article by Phil Friedman, because using generic terms and still finding your info on the FIRST page of Google is amazing.
That is fantastic, Phil Friedman! And doing it with generic terms? Wow. I think others who are actually building their brand / business should be talking with you now!
