- 3. Improve Page Authority (PA) While Building Links A WhiteHat Strategy to Improve Your Page Rank
- 4. How Do We Define Page Authority • Defined as a predictable score 1 –100, that determines how well your page ranks in search engine results. This was developed by MOZ, a SEO metrics tool. • It can also be defined as how valuable the page is (not the domain) to Google. The score will give you a very good idea on what areas of your page require attention. • There is no good or bad score, BUT, it is a comparative tool. It comes into play when the search query is conducted, and the search engine has to compare between your subject page and the competitors page Inbound links are links from other domains/websites/blogs/social media/ that link to content on your page.
- 5. Why is Page Authority Essential?
- 6. Importance of Page Authority • The life of each page depends on it. Add inbound links. Google loves connected pages. • It gives us a good idea on what to improve on the page • Improves PageRank and Domain Authority For example: If your page www.yourdomain.com/autoinsurance does not have a good Page Authority against your competitor, www.competitordomain.com/autoinsurance, th ere is a chance, their page will outrank yours when a user conducts a search PageRank is one of the many Google ranking factors. - Searchengineland
- 7. Improve Rank As You Add Quality Inbound Links text
- 8. What To Keep in Mind • Page Authority does not take into account on-page factors such as Keywords • Pick quality active pages to link to your page, or domain. Pages with high-value links pointing to them will be crawled and indexed faster, and more often It is ok to have at least one inbound link to your page, however the more inbound links the better.

- 10. Spot Quality Link Partners • All businesses listed in active directories offer a lucrative opportunity for excellent link exchanges. Make as many contacts as you can. They are all interested in exchanging links with you. Here is an example of link partners: http://www.greaterorlandoba.com/list/ Buying links from other services could get you penalized by search engines - Neil Patel

- A lot of insurance agents spend too much time bragging about how much experience they have or how much they know.

- First Name greetings aren’t enough. Each of your contacts is a unique individual who deserves a tailored email experience. More Than a Name…Personalization Tags Small piece of code to pull a contact’s first name into an email sent to a group. Great to use in subject lines to grab attention. Don’t provide a personalized experience. Novelty is Wearing Off As More Companies Use them. Room for error with invalid codes and muddy data. Send Relevant Emails Opt for sending wanted, consented, personalized, and engaging emails. Emails with tailored content that is relevant and useful for your recipients perform better. Your audience will appreciate receiving information they will actually use. Be considerate. Lean on Data Demographics: Who to Target Purchase History: What to Say Referral/Lead Source: How to Say It Engagement History: When + What to Say Segmentation Insights Group subscribers with shared characteristics and align emails with their problems and needs.
