Hi all! The response to my SEO presentation last Thursday genuinely blew me away. Thank you all for the kind words! It's clear this stuff matters to you, and it matters to me too. I want to see queer-owned businesses winning on Google! So, I'm putting that into action. I'm offering 3 free SEO starter audits to businesses in this community. Here's what you'll get: → Site audit (crawl errors, speed issues, indexability) through Semrush → Google Business Profile review → Top 10 keyword opportunities with search volume, difficulty, and intent → Competitive analysis snapshot → Your specific on-page SEO issues → An actionable plan split into quick wins and long-term plays I'll get everything back to you and we can plan a call to discuss. For context, I plan to offer this as a paid service at $150. These 3 are on me. If you're interested, send me a message with your domain! Thanks, everyone.

We Are A Growth Community for LGBTQ Brands & Businesses: More Pride. More Profit. More Power. Hey Syndicate Members! I'm so excited you're here. This community was created to help LGBTQ entrepreneurs, creators, marketers and brand builders grow their business, expand their visibility, and feel fully supported while doing it. My name is Scott Fullerton and I have been creating LGBTQ podcasts for over 10 years and working as a business and brand consultant, specializing in LGBTQ owned and operated ones, for over 4 years.

Hey Syndicate Fam, Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. I did a little sneak away for date night/day to Niagara Falls, Canada yesterday and the weather was horrible but the adventure was a lot of fun. Welcome to our new members: @Christina Joy is in Florida and is working with business owners who feel stuck or overwhelmed to get unstuck. @Benjamin Zumsteg is a luxury brand strategist by day and an entrepreneur who created his own energy/performance drink company by night. You can check out his interview in our latest newsletter. Welcome both of you and if you have a second, introduce yourselves and tell us a little more about you. For Monday Motivation this week, I am bringing in a twist on what @Art Smith shared with us a couple weeks back. This time, instead of "Googling" yourself, if you are using a 'Chat Bot' of any kind, ask it the following Prompt: "Based on everything we've talked about, what am I genuinely good at? What makes me unique? Be honest, not polite." I think this is a great tool to see how your messaging is working and coming across to others. If you're open to it, share your answers in the comments below. Have a great week everyone!!

If you haven't taken our community improvement survey, please take a second when you have a chance. The link is here: https://www.skool.com/successsyndicate/how-can-we-improve-the-success-syndicate and you can leave comments there or here on what you want to see happening in the Success Syndicate in the future. I have some changes in store, and would really like your feedback and suggestions. So far, 2 people are looking for a Referral component so I am working on a way to make that happen. I am open to all suggestions and I appreciate you taking the very brief survey. https://www.skool.com/successsyndicate/how-can-we-improve-the-success-syndicate

Hey Syndicate Family. It's officially the start of Spring!! How do I know this? Well here in Northeast Ohio, the first roar of the lawn mower started this week, and it's on like Donkey Kong. Mowing your lawn in our area is not a weekly chore that needs to be done, but a competition. Once that first lawn mower fires up, the rest have until the end of that weekend to catch-up. Most of the homes in my neighborhood sit on about 1/3 of an acre, so riding mowers are common, but wait, there's more, lol. You need to create patterns in your lawn, and God Forbid you do the same pattern twice in a week. So those in the know, will use hand-held mowers to get more intricately made patterns that your riding mower just doesn't have the turning radius for, hehe. So what's the tell-tale signs of Spring for YOUR family or neighborhood? I hope you have a most excellent weekend everyone!!
