Will an ongoing blog help?

My partner and I have just started running a skin care clinic here in Australia. We’ve used Wix to set up our webpage we have a Facebook/Instagram page and our aim is to learn how to improve our SEO but it’s slow going yet. Our webpage advertises the products and services we sell but my question is would it be useful to produce an ongoing blog on our website? We could through the blog add important current/fashionable search words talk about the skin care successes of famous celebrities etc... Would this dramatically improve our SEO?

Tool to help find niches?

Hi, I’m wondering if there’s a less expensive tool or way to research keywords that will help me find niche’s to build sites around?

I know there are some expensive monthly services, but I’m working on a show string.

Thank you!

Problems in indexing a page on Google

Hi Guys,

We are facing a problem with indexing a few articles on Google

To give you some context to this issue.

  • We have published 3 quality articles on a website and have shared them across social media as well.
  • It has been 3 weeks since it was published and it has still not been indexed on Google.
  • When checked on Google Search Console regarding this issue, it was mentioned that the article site has been “Discovered – currently not indexed”
  • It also mentioned that Google expected a site overload and rescheduled the crawl, however, the site is well optimized technically and can handle a number of requests at a time
  • We have tried the "Request Indexing" feature as well, however, didn’t see any result

Is there any solution to index these pages?

Im not sure if this is the correct Reddit for this question, if you can recommend me a relevant Reddit site would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Meta Description Issues + Knowledge Panel Issue

Hi, Im not sure if this is the correct subreddit for this but i think it is.

I am using RankMath as my tool for my meta titles and descriptions.
Google is not using the meta description i have provided, instead just taking it from the front page of my website. I have tried using many keyword combinations but it does not want to show up properly. The description is already much more relevant to my website than what google has chosen.

On top of that, My Google Knowledge Panel is showing up for a slightly wrong search term, one that doesnt get as much hits. I have tried contacting google and they wont get back to me. Not a clue on how knowledge panels really work.
Any help on this?.

Thanks in Advance

The Truth About Ranking A Website

When it comes to ranking a website often times many people will start the process and get excited that they move up 35-40 spots in the beginning and then immediately drop out of the race when their websites grow stagnant. I've seen it happen all too many times and watched people give up on perfectly good websites because of it; however, the reality of the situation is that it will be harder to rank a website from the second page to the first page than it would be to get a website from the 10th page to the 4th page. The reason being is that from the second page on is normally when you find companies who focus or care about their SEO and that right there is your true competition as they will be doing all the things they need to in order to hold or improve their position on a week to week basis.

That is the real truth about ranking a website and I know it may sound super obvious but I've watched tons of people including myself give up on websites when they begin to grow stagnant as far as rankings go. So never give up and keep practicing quality SEO habits

Similar Web Pages - Should I use Canonical, Redirect or Allow to Index

I can't seem to find a solid answer and hoping to get some expert/experienced opinions on how to handle a website with groups of very similar pages. Looking to see if we allow them all to index, canonical, or redirect.

The website has multiple categories with a series of pages. There are 2 distinct types.

1) Blog posts - we might have 10 pages with 9 articles per page. These have pagination at the bottom to jump around pages. Thinking we would do nothing here and let Google crawl and index all 10 pages.

2) Ranked Item Lists - Let's say its the Top 10 Widgets where each widget has its own page with Next/Prev buttons to scroll through them. The Top 10 list updates frequently (as new widgets come out) so the ranking order may not be the same but the URLs will be. (example mywidgets/rank1 then mywidgets/rank2, etc. The content on rank2 page may change tomorrow with a new widget release but the url stays the same as that page is the #2 widget) The content doesn't lend itself to consolidating to 1 page so scrolling the content is appropriate. While each page talks about a different widget, should I canonical all the pages back to page1 as the reader would likely start at page 1 in their research.

Bit of a newbie in SEO and my devs aren't really sure the appropriate treatment. Any insight is appreciated!

How much do you make? Is this a good career choice?

For almost 10 years now I have been working with SEO, I've seen how the competitive landscaped changed...

... as well as the search engines getting better and better.

But one thing that always have been important for rankings and damn HARD is link building!

Now the reason for I wanted to post this in here is...

... because who is be better to ask than those who feel the same pain as I ONCE did, right?

I, together with an amazing team, have build this crazy system that make it possible to create...

Sniper targeted link building campaigns in matter of minutes

You know... finding relevant link opportunities, finding the right people to outreach, and crafting of hyper-personalized pitches.

Heck... some of our customers even managed to get links on websites like Hubspot, Adobe, Upwork and such :-o

HOWEVER...

One thing I have find out to be perhaps as hard as link building...

... is finding the right Value Proposition.

The title for this post is an idea we have, however, before we've used...

"Contextual link building without the hassle"

So... my questions for you guys:

What would be perfect value prop for our you?

I've appreciate any suggestions on this matter!

A Quick Way Find Guest Post Opportunities with Google Sheets & Google Search Results (For Free)

Hi guys, I often see questions on this sub about what tools to use for SEO when you get started, but I feel like when you’re starting out, you don’t need a lot of fancy, expensive tools…

For example, for a really long time, I just used Google Sheets to find guest post opportunities by doing this:

Step 1: Collect a list of Google Search operators to find interesting guest posts

Eg : “[your keyword]” + “this is a guest contribution” / “[your keyword]” + “guest author” / “[your keyword]”+ inurl:guest-posts / “[your keyword]” + inurl:write-for-us

Step 2: Sign up for ScaleSerp, a freemium service that allows you to scrape the google search results (you get 125 searches for free/month)

Step 3 : Add the ImportJSON script by brad jasper on GitHub to your Google Sheet to be able to read JSON results

Step 4: Use your ScaleSerp API Key to scrape the results. The formula should look like this :

=ImportJSON("https: // api. scaleserp .com/ search?api_key=YOURSCALESERPAPIKEY &url=https: //www. google. com/search?q=%22%22+inurl%3Aguest-posts") 

That’s it! It’s pretty basic, but I feel that as a beginner, you don’t need to overcomplicate things too much! Just using this method is enough to get a few guest posts and start building relationships with other blog owners in your industry.

Had #1 in Desktop and Mobile For A Day (Then Amazon Ripped It Back)

The terms were: apron aprons

The domain you’ll have to deduce on your own by looking at AHREFs.com (I can’t explicitly state it here.)

Barely missed #1 for Cyber Monday. But, #2 isn’t bad. Though #1 would’ve been so sweet.

What killed it? Amazon’s powerhouse of links is what I believe killed it. The fact we pulled it off at all was amazing. We climbed from second page in just 6 weeks. :-)

Advice wanted on translating data to action

Something I'm struggling with is looking at data, and then using that data to decide what actions to take for a website. I look at things like GA, GSC, and AWR and I feel like I have all this data, but then I can't figure out how to translate that data to actionable items. I'll see things like organic traffic has dropped a bit from last year, or we aren't ranking as high for certain keywords as before, or click-thru rates could be batter for these pages, but then I don't know how to determine what to do about those things.

Best Practices For Keeping Backlinks When Moving Domains?

Preface: There's content available via Google on the topic which I can't link to in this blog post as the post will be flagged.

But that leads me to my main question, there seem to be two workflows on the topic:

1) If there is not a new URL on the domain to link to, redirect it to the homepage of the new site via a 301

2) Redirect all traffic to the homepage/landing page of the old domain, and redirect traffic from the homepage of the old domain to the correct URLs of the new site

Does anyone have any experience they care to share on this topic?

Ranking for irrelevant keyword that features in business name

Hey all,

I wonder if anyone has any experience with a website bringing in a large amount of irrelevant organic traffic via ranking for a keyword that is in a company/business name and what the best course of action is?

A client of mine has quite a popular keyword in their business name and it seems like suddenly they've started ranking really highly for this keyword in India where the search volume is 150,000 per month.

This keyword, let's call it "music videos", is all over their website, especially their homepage but they are in a niche and it's only ranking because "music" is in their company brand name.

They are mainly operating in US/Europe/Australia and the ranking is coming from India and Cambodia. We obviously can't de-optimise their website as the keyword is in their company name so they have suggested blocking traffic from the regions where the high ranking is but I'm hoping that is not necessary.

Does anyone know what else can be done to stop ranking for this particular keyword?

Who should be doing blog SEO?

I'm genuinely curious - for what type of business does it make sense to have an active blog? I know that I use Google for some content, usually more and more is moving to YouTube/Video (even Google shows you YouTube videos on the top results). But even then, I often just go for a quick answer to some third party website and leave immediately (rarely signed up to an email list or read another post).

A personal anecdote:

I posted a coding tutorial on my blog about a topic and it didn't rank at all. I had to actively go out and promote it to get any impressions. I'm sure this might change if I invest a year but even then, high authority websites are always going to outrank me for the most meaningful search terms.

On YouTube I posted a long video about a similar topic and didn't promote it. 3 months later and it got 2000 impressions, 100% organic - I didn't post it anywhere, just did some basic SEO research and optimization.

So:

What is the profile of an entity or person for whom it makes long-term financial sense to invest in a blog? What is their monthly budget, business goals (selling a product, growing an audience/community, etc.)? Should they really rather invest in YouTube videos in 2022 onwards? Would love to hear some thoughts as somebody who knows nothing!

Thoughts on Link Insertions?

I had an interesting chat with another SEO who was telling me that Google is "very smart" at picking up on Link Insertions for SEO-Gain and they are "not worth the time"

I disagree.

I mean, why can't you (100% legitimately) go and update an article and add a relevant link?

Say for example you proposed a concept in your article which you wrote a few years back, and the concept was proven several years later by research by some institute - then why would linking to that resource be "negative"? Doesn't make sense.

I'm calling BS.

Sure, if it looks spammy then it is spammy.

Traffic Analytics with Privacy/DSGVO restrictions

Hi,

I hope that anyone here can point me in the right direction. I would like to analyze the past traffic of a website, which is running a webpage (Typo 3 - old version) and online shop (Magento).

They have implemented GA, but the experience I had with GA in Europe is that it is useless. It only tracks data after you approved the cookie popup, so it really doesn't show anything reliable.

I guess a lot of you here have some clients in Europe where this is a problem everywhere, how do you measure the traffic of your clients?

Years (Decades) ago I worked with AWS stat, but that couldn't filter out bot traffic, are there any other good tools which I can use (for Typo3 and Magento).

Currently I care more about the traffic source, landing page, traffic flow and conversions, not so much about recurring visitors which require cookie.

Any pointer in the right directions are appreciated (maybe also a different /r/ ?)

Thank you

Importance of SEO in the current digital world

Here are a few reasons why you should invest in SEO in the age of COVID-19

  • SEO Offers Long-Term Gains
  • SEO Does Not Need To Be Tied To A Single Location or Time
  • SEO Allows You To Reach The People Who Are Already Interested
  • Social media marketing is not enough
  • Slow and steady can win the race

Final Opinion:

While SEO may not bring you significant changes overnight, it helps your business grow a competitive edge by helping you nurture leads and establish your authority with one piece of content at a time. Provided that your website ticks all the right boxes, incremental improvements in your search engine results will compound over time, allowing you to remain relevant, despite this ongoing pandemic.

same H2s, different domains

In our main website with a branded domain, we have a webpage about a specific campaign. We also have an indexed landing page/microsite with recently optimized content and its own domain (domain contains the keywords).

I want to update/optimize as well the webpage of the branded website. I am thinking of targeting the same high-search volume, long-tail keywords I used in the landing page/microsite as H2s (because there are no other keywords to target).

From our business' standpoint, what problem/s can you foresee if the same long-tail keywords are used by both of our sites with different domains? Obviously, I have to make the content different to avoid duplicate content, but I plan to keep the H2s. Thanks!

Finding quality writers for large seo content.

What do you guys recommend is the best strategy in hiring writers? Not looking for writers that implement keywords but can actually take a topic, study it and spin off their own content.

Is there a go-to site or platform you recommend to hire writers?

How Much Does Domain Age Play A Factor?

I've noticed many websites that are under a year old tend to have a tougher time generating traction; however, after about a year they tend to shoot up. Is this true of most websites and if not when do you feel age stops playing a factor?

Is it bad practice to change previously set canonicals and redirects for the purpose of transferring authority to another page?

Here is my situation

Im looking to optimize specific pages on my site (product pages) for specific keywords that we have a chance to rank for.

Currently there are several "low value" pages that are ranking reasonably well. I intend to redirect/canonical these pages to my new optimized product page to consolidate authority.

As it stands these ranking pages to be redirected have canonicals set to the homepage as default by a previous SEO.

My question is:

Would it be detrimental to change canonicals from the homepage to the new optimized pages or is my idea sound?

Im ok with the homepage losing some authority or ranking for the keywords the pages to redirect are ranking for as the homepage makes sense for direct searches as opposed to specific product and category pages that may lead to higher conversions and CTR.

Google Maps (Snack pack) - are they really influenceable?

Hi All,

I'm hoping to get some feedback on whether or not you've had much like effecting if you/your client displays in the snack pack.

For reference, I've been working with a client for around a year who runs a tree surgery business in a small British city. Their business is the most reputable tree surgeon around, best website (by far) - well-optimised tech and keyword wise), good citations, etc.. I've filled out and since optimised their GMB listing, there are lots of great photos, almost all 5-star reviews with responses.

The issue is their business ranks terribly on Google maps. Businesses with worse/no websites, bad reviews and some with only a phone number rank higher than them. They're 10/19th.

Essentially, I've read every article giving 101 tips on the GMaps algorithms and getting into the snack pack. The site should perform well - by far first - but it doesn't.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks for your time :)

SEMrush errors

Hey I’m currently using shopify for my e-commerce store, I’ve recently changed the Domain and done all the redirects, everything’s gone well and traffic is back already after a week.

I’ve got 900+ errors on my SEMrush, one that I’ve always had is ‘low text-HTML ratio’

The other is ‘233 have too many parameters in their URLS’

Are these things anything to worry about as such? The parameters I think is something to do with the filters on the store

You're doing SEO wrong.

Did you know you could rank an unlimited number of pages on a website?

Here goes the strategy:

  1. Design a topic specific landing page which is derived from keyword research (the topic page will be determined by high value keywords (high value keywords have high cost per click.))

  2. Anchor link new keyword specific landing pages to the topic page.

  3. Get backlinks from first page ranking websites for all of your keywords.

  4. Implement a sitemap (both XML and HTML), a robots.txt file, and schema markup on each page.

  5. Update the content.

For content optimization use tools like pageoptimizerpro and rankmath. For technical SEO (sitemaps, robots.txt, and schema markup) use Google's third party tools (you can find those through Google's SEO starter guide online)

For keyword research use tools like ubersuggest, and keyword magic tool by semrush.

Ask me questions and share this with your SEO manager. I wonder; is your content strategy better than mine?

If you have a better content strategy that has been implemented please share it below.

This strategy helped me 34X website views in 1 month and ranked me first on Google Maps + Organic Index.

Potential concerns or gains from buying and hosting content on a domain that has been redirecting for 17 years?

A client of mine bought a domain that apparently sounds more attractive and intend to migrate their main website to it.

Besides from the regular domain migration concerns, should I also be concerned that this new domain never hosted any content, has 0 traffic over the years, and probably has been redirecting this whole time.

How would Google look into that scenario for this potential migration?

Multiple websites with the same or very similar content, how bad?

I'm an MSP and I'm considering having multiple domains, with separate websites, but with very similar content, and just add some industry specific content as well to each. My primary website would be something like mycompanyname.com and then have a separate domain like itforarchictecs.com and itfordoctors.com etc. These other domains would be very similar and mostly the same content as my "primary" website, but more geared or addressed to that particular vertical.

A little help - looking to buy an SEO plugin

Hey guys,

As the title suggests, I'm looking to buy an SEO plugin before the deals end.

I'm currently torn between Rank Math Agency at $499 for the year and SEO Frameworks $648 for 5 years.

I've had experience with Rank Math and know what to expect but have limited experience with SEO Framework but I'm looking into SEO framework not so much because of the cost difference, more so because I'd prefer to pay once rather than subscription if that makes sense?

Any advice as to where I should go and why would be welcome.

How to choose supporting keywords?

I think I understand how to choose the topic and primary keyword. Now, I want to wrap my head around finding the right supporting keywords. As I understand it, you need to choose supporting keywords that would legitimize your primary keyword or support it as the name implies.

Here's my problem, let's say my primary keyword is "COD points", is "COD points price" a good supporting keyword? Going with that, does this mean that all supporting keywords should have the primary keyword in there somewhere? Like "COD points hack", or "COD points generator".

I understand I should still choose the keywords that would make sense to my topic. So I was thinking that "call of duty" is a good one since they mean the same. How about "first-person shooter game"?, or "FPS game"?

As you can see, I'm confused af. Can anyone please help me understand this? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

How long for google to Re-Index my site with its new SEO settings?

I created a WordPress site for 1-2 months now, it was completely finished but just had it sit there being useless, the previous week i decided to work on its SEO since i had 0 SEO optimization for it, i researched keywords seen how other competitors do it, optimized the content around those keywords, optimized how it appears on search engines, fixed the performance, pretty much anything that can help it rank better on google. And so i far i think i did a pretty good job although I'm not a professional, i had Yoast SEO to help me and i have everything it suggests for improvements done correctly.

Obviously, there probably are some more technical SEO improvements to be done that I'm not aware of but so far i think its alright, and i optimized everything well around my keywords.

So finally the question, how long till it gets re-indexed by google from the new SEO settings and adjustments i have done to the whole website? I did submit its sitemap and connected it to google overview. How long will it take until people start visiting my website through Google? And is there anything else i can do to speed up this process? Thank you!

Just an extra question i had been wondering, will advertising my website on google help with its SEO Rankings? So if i advertise for a week and it gets people clicking on it, will it help rank better even after the advertising expires? TY

Casestudy with the Search Console API

Hi guys,

I read about indexing problems everyday and also do recognize them on my own pages.

I was doing some research about the API and read, that it works pretty fast and reliable.

Did someone ever do a casestudy or a comparism about it? So that Google might index pages which it wouldn't, only by sending it to the sitemap or occasionally manual indexing.

Happy to get some insights of you!

How often do you make the decision to migrate away from elementor? Is it ever a key component to seo performance?

Some of my clients sites are using elementor, and I'm starting to see some performance issues. Like there's unnecessary JS loading even with wp-rocket and all the optimization plugins running.

So I'm wondering how often you've looked things over and decided that migrating away from elementor was something that needed to be done. Is it usually worth the effort?

I'm just nervous to suggest migrating to a custom or minimal theme if it's not going to help, and nothing going to look any different when it's all finished.

How do you answer the “how long will it take “ question ?

Often potential clients asks me how long is this gonna take ? And I don’t know what to answer. I cannot guarantee certain results in this month time at least when it comes to traffic.

When you start on a new niche it’s even more difficult. I say it going to take time to understand the completion and the challenges so give me a time period of at least 6 months. But all clients want quick result. I cannot say 2 months as guaranteeing results is not a good practice.

Also, clients want such time frame so that they don’t have to pay per month salary as they think SEOs will extend the period to continue getting salary. They want a specific time frame and agree only to pay when the see results.

What should I do in such case ? How do you guys convince clients and ask for budget ?

Hiring SEO to go through thousands of posts and improve their search visibility

Just want to get an idea on how best to price something like this.

We have thousands of very high quality, technical articles that are already ranking quite well, but some are starting to move down as new competitors move up.

How do SEO's typically price this kind of thing? Each article costs us between $200 - $400 USD to research and write. What's an SEO cost on revisiting these articles to improve their ranking?

many websites linking to a free tool we provide

I offer a free tool on my site, which people link to to show certain stats on their own site.

I lot of people have been linking to it, and the majority of the sites are low ranking. Some may even be considered spammy sites or malicious. Lots of them are no-follow links, as i provide the html for them to copy paste. But many of them do the linking themselves and are do follow.

some domains/sites link MANY times too (10-30K links).

A lot are also linking to other tools like mine.

my understanding with how google treats backlinks is. A backlink will only effect your site in a good way or ignore it. So if a site is linking to me and they are not exactly a good site, it shouldnt effect my site in a negative way. This by my understanding is, so no one can do negative SEO against anyone else. And what is the point of punishing a site for bad backlinks, just ignore them.

What do others think? And do you think these many backlinks could cause harm?

I'm all about building relationships but not sure where the best SEO hangouts are.

I'm curious where everyone goes to build relationships and connect?

I use LinkedIn but it seems like everyone is just connecting for popularity rather than building actual relationships. I get constant messages on there about connecting and how I should use their services but it's not very personable. Just very salesy.

Since I write content, build websites, and offer everything SEO, I'm in a vast amount of groups but it seems that way across the board. Which means the more groups I'm in the more bombarded I get.

I'd love to find others that want each other to grow, maybe even pass each other work if applicable, and build knowledge in SEO.

Move from VueJS to NextJS for improving SEO, is it worth? Can it be risky?

I have a website which does quite well on its niche, for many results in first page or first position. The problem is that the website is made completely with VueJS which renders everything client side, so sometimes Google struggle with SEO stuff and "performance" metrics.

I could rewrite everything with NextJS (react) for server-side rendering. The website needs a refactor anyway, so it might be a good thing to do.

The layout and content would be rewritten but trying to keep the same structure.

Overall it should improve how the pages are indexed and I will be sure that everything is correctly rendered and crawled.

What worries me is that it might negatively affect the rankings and make my site disappear from the first page.

Anyone tried something similar and can share the outcome? Or any general tips?

SEO friendly blog design

The sales order affirms the provisions of an exchange between a purchaser and dealer. Adding and editing items and customers is a key factor in the success of any business. It helps your site rank higher in search engines and increases traffic. The design of your blog can also give you an advantage over competitors.

A well-designed website will be more likely to rank higher on SERP than an unappealing or poorly designed one. And that makes it easier for you to reach your target audience, which is what every business wants.

Designing a successful SEO-friendly blog means having a number of elements in place, such as good keywords, easy-to-find navigation, and appealing graphics to engage visitors who come across the page. Below are some guidelines for designing an SEO-friendly blog:

With the development of search engines, more and more people are looking up blogs on the internet. For bloggers, knowing the right way to design their blog so that it can rank high in searches is not an easy task.

The key is to have a blog design that is SEO-friendly. These are some of the ways you can make your blog more SEO friendly:

- Optimize your title tags with correct keywords

- Use relevant images with appropriate alt tags

- Use H1 headlines for your articles either at the beginning or end of each article

- Include relevant keywords in both headline and body content

Is there any value in pursuing voice search optimization when there isnt much voice search queries?

Im not talking about dedicating an entire site to voice search but instead to optimize a site AND THEN supplementing with voice search optimization (faqs, structured data, etc).

Could it be argued that being ready for voice search is worth pursuing?

Should we do cross-domain linking.

I have two websites in a similar niche. Is it good to do cross-domain linking to promote the blog and content of one website through others?

Changing blog URL structure, Yes/No?

Hi!

At the moment the blog structure is www-website-ee/2021/11/title-of-the-blogpost. With the new website, we plan to change the structure to www-website-ee/blog/title-of-the-blogpost (because it's not good to have dates in URLs). But I have a dilemma, should we: 1) change all the previous posts URL-s also (and redirect), OR 2) keep the old URLs the same? (Note: domain .ee stands for Estonia and the competition is quite low).
In my opinion, it would be good to keep the URL structure the same (and change old URLs also), but at the same time, it's not good for SEO to change the old URLs :)

Thanks and what are your thoughts? Would you rather change the old URLs also or not?

Help! Google marks my pages as copies even though they are just language versions and doesn't index them.

My website operates through a language subfolder. The website is in german, but there's an /en/ english version. This happens for some pages, not all, and I can't find any meaningful difference between the pages that get indexed ok and the pages that get marked as copies.

What should I do?

WebCEO alternative

So I've been using WebCEO for a long while because the company I used to work for had used it, and when I started my own business I just kept using it. However, I feel like it's a little inaccurate at times and maybe not the most cost efficient software.

I mostly use it to track rankings (duh), aid my site audits (granted I do a big part manually) and do some competitor analysis. I am paying ~€230/$260 per quarter.

Is there a better/cheaper/more efficient tool that I could use? I've been Googling for a while, but I see a lot of praise for various tools comes from random Reddit users with no post history or from the typical blog posts that don't actually seem to use any of the tools themselves.

I Lost My First Client This Week

Normally when I post on Reddit it tends to be things that are relatively upbeat and positive; however, recently I was hit by a shock that I still can't believe as I just lost my first client going into the week of Thanksgiving.

A little background is that this client is a little bit of an older man but he and I have been working for over a year now on his SEO for his roofing business and things have been going great or at least I thought so. Since we began working he's probably gotten to a point where he sees about 10-20 leads a month just from his SEO for a variety of both commercial and residential roofing jobs.

Everything was going well and then I got a call earlier this week from him which struck me as very unusual. It's not weird for a client to call the individual he's working with but over the time I had gotten to know him, he seemed very hands-off and did not really call or message me unless something was wrong or he had concerns. I answered and he said, "Hey Justin Happy Thanksgiving I wanted to give you a call and update you on the news" obviously I replied with "Happy Thanksgiving, and what news were you talking about". At this point, I was expecting something super positive like maybe another business or maybe more opportunities, but he told me that he had sold his roofing business as he got an offer he couldn't refuse and would be retiring for some time. I was happy for him and told him congratulations but he explained to me that I wouldn't be able to continue working with him as the new company would be cleaning house.

It was one of the tougher calls I've ever had, but I guess its part of the business, and clients will come and go; however, I will say it did hurt a little as it was a complete blindside but I am happy I was able to better my old client's life in some way or form.
