[CLOSED] DOMINATE Google+ Local And Make A RECURRING Income! [OFFLINE]

[gj2802]

Hi Paul

Like mentioned earlier I'm happy with your WSO, the problem I have is with Chris Winters who always seems to break his promises by offering his bonus or his products and fails to deliver.. He's a tosser and full of BS..

He doesn't respond to any support tickets but he keeps hammering my inbox several times a day with offer after offer...

This guys he's about the worst there is...

[rbowen]

Paul -

I agree with you, that for my purposes, your BBB course would be a much better buy. But when I ran it by an IM consultant-friend of mine, he cautioned me that apparently Google is about to make some significant changes to GP. He said to beware of using any 'older' GP methods after they introduce these changes.

Do you know what he's talking about, and will I be OK following your GP techniques - which I trust are 'white hat' - so it won't get me or my clients in trouble?!

Thanks,
Richard

[DigiMan]

rbowen...APPEARS You Are Right About Major Changes to G-Places

No sooner than I bought this WSO I got an email from Peter Maxwell (one of the great WSO Warriors) who reported Google's coming changes to G-Places.

Maxwell's email is reprinted below...and I am afraid I may have wasted $7...oh well...maybe some new insights are to be gained from this WSO.

You may have see the announcement yesterday by Google on the new Knowledge Graph that they are launching to improve search results for
end users.

I think it is going to create a whole new ball game for SEO and it would be interesting to see how it develops.

At least you did not try to B.S. me. That is what I was thinking just was not sure if you had some secret that you could leverage to keep them with you longer.

[IAmPaulJames]

It is definitely time consuming to set up, but if you are charging your customers an appropriate amount it shouldn't matter. It takes about one month to get ranked, but Google has been a little slow as of lately to recognize changes, so it could take up to 6 weeks. For upkeep, just have to keep up with reviews and citations, this is covered in the course. Some clients I get to the number one spot, but I usually guarantee the top 3.

Here's my question - to rank 1 client with 1 keyword, how much setup time is required and how long will it take to get the client on Google Places 7-Pack? As well, what is required to do on a monthly basis to ensure the client remains on Google Places?

2nd Question: do you get your clients on #1 spot of Google Places?

Look forward to hearing from you

Traci

If you are looking to sell leads to business owners than definitely Busy Business Bonanza, but if you already are familiar with selling leads and just want to learn optimization of places than this course is for you.

I ALMOST DIDN'T BUY YOUR COURSE because of the paltry number of comments. Now that I see the material...I am surprised you don't have many more comments. PERHAPS, if the response to your WSO was tepid, it was the title of your WSO.

I am sorry...but for marketing purposes, this WSO's title sucks!

Your title provides no clue as to the subject matter of this WSO. When I first read the title, I scratched my head and thought WTF is this one about! Fortunately, your affiliate's email provided a good description.

BEST OF LUCK...and AGAIN...GREAT PRODUCT!

Really happy you enjoyed it, thanks for the feedback =]

I reviewed 3 modules already. Quality content all. You offered high value to your customers.

[Alansplace]

Hey Paul,
Just checked out you new WSO and it is a excellent program. You step by step process and very understandable teaching style makes this program a A+. I have purchased other programs of yours and you always over deliver and your are available for questions. It is nice to see some one who is delivering a quality product that works. Thanks Paul for your hard work on putting these programs together.

[IAmPaulJames]

Thank you both, I appreciate it!

Let's say I help a local business setup their google places presence. How can I keep track of new sales made because of this work? How can they be sure that a new sale was made thanks to my efforts?

I will refer you to my other course to answer that question, this course here is purely an optimization course.

Thanks, Paul. And judging from the positive feedback about you & your earlier WSOs, I totally believe that you do - and will continue to - keep them up-to-date.

I guess what I was trying to ask was whether it would be worth buying this WSO (or the BBB) at this point, since A) Google apparently is about to introduce a major change to GPs, and B) it'll take me 4 - 6 weeks (from what you say) to get a client into the top-3 GPs ... and it might take me a few weeks to even get a GP client to begin with.

So I'm not sure it makes sense to try to get a client's GPs rank improved when, in the middle of my efforts, Google might change their "GPs algorithm" - and I wouldn't know whether what I've done, following your (current) strategy, would continue to be effective .. or worse, might it have negative effects on my client's GPs ranking?

I haven't read Peter max's article (referenced in post #103) yet, but do you have any idea when Google will introduce their changes to GPs, what they might entail, and to what extent they might (negatively) impact the effectiveness of you current strategy?

And I don't know if it makes sense to ask how long it might take you to modify your WSO to accommodate these changes when you might not know what those changes are ... or do you?

Can you give me (us) a little perspective on this issue?

BTW, I would have bought your (BBB) WSO had I not heard about the forthcoming GPs changes. And I'd still like to buy it - but only when "we" know what these changes are and - more importantly - whether you'll be able to successfully adapt your WSOs so they'll continue to be as effective as they apparently are/have been to-date.

Thanks
Richard

[IAmPaulJames]

Richard,

I typically update within days of changes, as for your question about waiting... I would never ever stop and put my whole business on pause for fear of what Google 'might' do. Instead, I make changes and adjust my strategy along the way.

Hope you see the importance of this.

Yoo IAmPaulJames...
I AM LOCKED OUT of Your Member Site!

I purchased Places Pinnacle.

I got to module #7 and left to take a break. When I returned to finish, I could not get back into your member site. I am pretty sure that I entered the correct username and password. So, I am locked out.

It is a royal pizzer to shut out near the course’s end. I am really not too happy about that. Please fix it.

UPDATE 05/18/12: This WSO Vendor IAmPaulJames responded quickly to my support request. My access to his membership site was restored within a short amount of time. His customer service is excellent.

Thank you,
Preston Mitchell

Regarding the Google Graph changes coming ahead.

Let's say there are 100 dentists in your town. How can any of them use Google graphs to create a competitive advantage?

If you followed up on the links previously referenced, you'll see that the biggest impact Google is looking for will be in general search: names; meanings; and relationships.

They gave the example of searching for "Taj Mahal." What is that searcher looking for: information on the singer, or the "building?" And once you identify the correct result - what was it that you wanted to know? And further more: what would you like to know that you haven't even imagined?

It is about a search being able to distinguish between The Lions, a sports team - and lions, the animal, while offering you a meaningful choice between the two.

That is the essence of Google graph. Giving you what you want without leaving Google's search page to verify if you have a meaningful result or not.

However, when doing a brick and mortar search the context is entirely different. Local search is about location, phone number, office hours, and customer ratings. It will soon be mostly on mobile devices; and users will be very impatient and intolerant of slow loading and "useless mobile websites."

In the dentist's example: citations (name, location, & address) plus social cues will rule in Google places.

For the foreseeable future... Google graphs will be most relevant for searches that begin with information on dentistry: things like whitening, caps, braces, etc. So if an authoritative website on dentistry is part of the practitioners strategy - the site will need to be sensitive to Google graphs to gain a competitive advantage over his local competition.

But information is not the core of what places is about. Places is about having a large volume of irrefutable information about who you are; what your do; your location; how to contact you; and what people think of your practice and your customer service.

That's why I think selling leads is more immune to Google's animal kingdom of changes (pandas, penguins, etc.).

If you followed up on the links previously referenced, you'll see that the biggest impact will be: similar names; meanings; and relationships: as in understanding which "Taj Mahal" you are looking for: the singer or the "building."

Very well put Neil, I couldn't agree more.

What is citation about? Why is it necessary?

[Neil]

Sarah,

Great question.

Anytime you quote a source you are citing it.

On point to your question I found these two sources:

1) "A local citation for your business is a “mention” of your business on another website. A perfect example of this is your business listing on the Yellow Pages website. The search engines use this citation, or “mention” of you business to further validate that you are an existing and legitimate business and will increase your chances of getting found online."

From: 20 Local Citation Sources For Your Small Business | The Small Business Playbook


2) "Why Citations Are Important to Your Local Business Listings"

"Citations are a key component of the ranking algorithms of the major search engines. Other factors being equal, businesses with a greater number of citations will probably rank higher than businesses with fewer citations."

Good Job! Like the reviews! Might try this out

[naughtydig]

I just purchased this wso and I am surprised it won't play the videos on my iPad?
Why oh why don't you guys just encode your videos to play with a html5 player???
It's such an easy thing to do!!

Yours
Disappointed.

UPDATE: I have now watched this course and for the money i think i's great value, I have a few GP courses and this complements them well.

How do we approach businesses about Google Places? I don't have such clients yet, how can I test this method? Can I test it on clients who do not service clients at their locations? This method is about getting businesses listed on 7-pack, right?

I've also seen some companies who provide such SEO services stating that clients pay only if they've successfully rank them on the 7-pack. Is this a good idea?

[spainops]

I have bought several Places courses on the WF - this is a really good addition. Of course I knew a lot of stuff but there were some nuggets and it is a very well put together and concise course. I would really recommend it - and what a great price too !.

One question - do you email us when you make updates ?

Thanks

It is about getting businesses listing in the seven pack, it's not about getting clients. If you are interested in a course about selling leads and getting clients, you should check out my other WSO:

REVIEW of IAmPaulJames'
Oddly Named Tut Course for G-Places

*** 5 STARS ***

I purchased this G-Places Tut Course and reviewed all of its tutorial videos.
Subsequently, I must highly recommend it.
And here's why:

IAmPaulJames produced these videos himself. This is not some affliate hack job he is pawning off.

This young man is actually a very good instructor. His presentation style is academic without being dry. No sales hype mixed in with his educational content--that's refreshing. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, he is very knowledgeable about G-Places.

For the Novice to G-Places, this course should be your essential first one. It will give you an excellent foundation. And you can't beat the price of $7.

For those already familiar with G-Places, you will likely gain a few invaluable insights, making the $7 well spent.

Again, I really like IAmPaulJame's effective teaching style...and so will you!

[elchenuk]

Hi this course looks great, but I'm looking for a more complete course i.e. one that also includes one about lead generation too. I was looking at this course of yours http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...ng-proven.html but wondered if this course also covers what you teach in this one?
Basically I want a lead gen/client acquisition course and one that covers Google Places too

[PeckhamPirate]

Paul. Thanks for this.
You're not re-inventing the wheel, you're not making massive claims, and you're not making 6 figure promises.
I bought the course and, speaking as someone who lives and breathes this shiz, I can say it's totally up to date.

In fact I learned a few new things that made it well worth the 7 bucks.

Thanks.

[kimberly Aita]

So if I get the BBB then I will also get access to this? I need something that is going to help me at least get started in the offline business as so far nothing I have tried seems to work.

Thanks,
Kim

The stuff covered in BBB is very similar, but there is also a lot of extra stuff covered there that isn't covered here. I definitely recommend that course if you are just getting started.

Hi Paul-- Greetings from Madison!

Your sales copy references the Google Places/+ change, but the release date for the WSO was before the announcement? So you must have made some significant changes to this method, or?

Thanks, looking forward to buying!
