Hi everyone! On October 28, @Matthew Zivkovic shared a post about Facebook pages and even showed the results from one of his daughter’s pages. That really inspired me so on November 4, I created my own page. I do some posings on November 7, and then completely forgot about it. Dec 3, out of nowhere, I actually received a call from that same page! Super excited and honestly so happy with the results. 🙌 A big thank you to @Matthew Zivkovic for sharing such powerful and effective methods. Your guidance really works! 😘💖

Hey everyone 👋 Just wanted to share a quick mini case study from one of my recent local lead-gen sites (Plumbing niche). The site is just 1 month old, and here’s the data from Google Search Console. Not bad for a fresh domain, right? 😎 Now here’s the interesting part — I didn’t do any heavy black hat or PBN. What really made the difference was solid niche research — choosing the right local keywords and service areas with decent volume but low competition. After that, all I focused on was Solid NAP Consistency and High-Quality Local Citations across top Directories. Citations helped the site get indexed faster and start showing up for local intent keywords like “emergency plumber near me” and “plumbing service in [city name].” Many people underestimate citations, but in local lead-gen, they’re like your Foundation for ranking in maps and organic results. Once Google sees consistent business info across the web, it builds trust faster and boosts local visibility. ⚠️ I’ve noticed many people jump into black hat or PBNs hoping for quick earnings — but that often leads to penalties and lost domains. If you’re planning to build a long-term, stable local website, then Local Citations and Foundation Backlinks are more than enough to start generating calls and leads safely. If anyone here is building local lead-gen sites (especially in home services, HVAC, plumbing, or restoration niches), I can share my citation process and even help with manual USA local citation building — it really speeds up indexing and map visibility 🚀 Just drop a comment or DM if you’d like to see the full list I use.

I put my website into ChatGPT for an audit, and it gave me a list of issues to fix. One of the issues it highlighted was the phone number area code. It told me that if I use the wrong area code in a phone number, Google will think my website is irrelevant for that location.

@Matthew Zivkovic I was going through aged domain section. This domain has high spam score of around 45%, but is still considered a great domain as per example given in classroom notes. So while picking up domains, how much importance shall we give to spam score?

While looking at expired domains to buy them, If the domain is not indexed in Google by checking using the below syntax, then should we buy it or not, considering all other parameters are in place. Please advise!!! syntax to check if domain is indexed: site:domainname
