Speaker 1: Yea ripped up.
Speaker 2: Didn't need advice, so you don't have the.
Speaker 3: Come running just as fast as we can.
Speaker 2: Shooter's gonna help come.
Speaker 4: Man six is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martinez, Hey.
Speaker 5: Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three all three
Speaker 5: seven one three talks seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 5: We have a filled up studio at the Mothership and
Speaker 5: my studios filled up. We got two filled up studios.
Speaker 5: Let me I'll go to my wide shot for those watching,
Speaker 5: and we do have a lot to talk about today.
Speaker 5: First of all, in the studio we have Mitch Floria
Speaker 5: from the Art of Granted. We talk about him a lot,
Speaker 5: and again it should be called the Art of Countertops,
Speaker 5: I always say, because they do all kinds of countertops.
Speaker 5: What they call themselves the Art of Grantite, the Art
Speaker 5: of Granite dot com. And also we've known Mitch for many,
Speaker 5: many years. He does basically countertops of any kind, and
Speaker 5: just a really good guy we have here with me
Speaker 5: in the studio. We're going to be talking about some
Speaker 5: digital marketing and seos because I believe there are so
Speaker 5: many ripoffs in this industry.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 5: It reminds me of Carnival Barkers. You know, step right up.
Speaker 5: We can do this for you. We can do that
Speaker 5: for you. And the whole world of search engine optimization
Speaker 5: is changing along with digital marketing.
Speaker 1: No longer.
Speaker 5: Well, I shouldn't say Google is not the number one.
Speaker 5: Google is still the number one search apparatus, but so
Speaker 5: many other means of searching are being done right now.
Speaker 5: So I want to start with talking to all of
Speaker 5: my guests. I want to start first at the studio,
Speaker 5: and by the way, I should mention then the studio,
Speaker 5: we got major, Mark Major. A lot of people call
Speaker 5: him major mouth major, and certainly, no matter what you
Speaker 5: call him, just don't call him late for dinner. And
Speaker 5: by the way, Mark, I am so jealous of this creep.
Speaker 5: He just got a new X model Tesla. Holy crap.
Speaker 5: Is it nice looking? You've read I want? Well, okay, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's right. I'm sorry. But you guys have it, and
Speaker 5: you were driving around yesterday. Is it everything you thought?
Speaker 1: Mark?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really cool, man, it's really nice, really roomy,
Speaker 6: great drive works great.
Speaker 5: You know those are very cool looking. But I noticed
Speaker 5: every single time somebody sends a picture of an X
Speaker 5: they got the goald wing doors open. It's almost like
Speaker 5: the trademark. I mean, I very seldom have seen them
Speaker 5: without the doors open. I mean because I wouldn't recognize
Speaker 5: them on the road.
Speaker 1: The X is.
Speaker 5: After looking at yours mark, it is distinct from the
Speaker 5: Model three, and of course from the Y and everything.
Speaker 5: Is it pretty roomy inside? Very now? I have always
Speaker 5: wanted next, but anyway, I just haven't gotten haven't pulled
Speaker 5: the trigger because my car is so new. Three oh
Speaker 5: three seven one, three eight two five five. Let's talk
Speaker 5: about let's talk about countertops, Mitch. This imagine is this
Speaker 5: a slow season? What's what's the season for countertops? Is
Speaker 5: there a season? Okay, we won't get a response from
Speaker 5: the studio right now, so I'll just know we got them.
Speaker 5: We got them, all right, Mitch? What is the season
Speaker 5: for countertops?
Speaker 3: Bro?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the slow season?
Speaker 7: It's maybe January, right off the Christmas, you know, New Year's.
Speaker 5: Is there a season though? Maybe just there a typical season.
Speaker 5: I would think that people want to spruce up their
Speaker 5: house I don't know psychologically during the summer and then
Speaker 5: basically I have everything done before school starts.
Speaker 1: Is that right or wrong? It's true.
Speaker 7: We get busy around July, July and August are very
Speaker 7: busy months, and then again before Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Speaker 1: Are are very because they want that new Ton. November
Speaker 1: always always very busy.
Speaker 5: Let's take a good Let's take a good sized kitchen
Speaker 5: in a newer home or not even a newer home.
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter, good size kitchen. From the time they
Speaker 5: select the stone to the time it's installed.
Speaker 1: It's usually what he.
Speaker 7: Should not take more than two weeks from when the
Speaker 7: homeowner chooses the slab and the shows us to layout,
Speaker 7: to go over pricing, you know the edge styles. They
Speaker 7: choose their sinks, and we come out with the plan.
Speaker 7: We we come out to their home and template you know,
Speaker 7: three four days out and then a week from there.
Speaker 5: That's pretty ambitious, man, Yes, that's pretty dang ambitious.
Speaker 7: And that's even if we tell it is in countertops,
Speaker 7: which we do on an installation day, so they're without
Speaker 7: a functioning SNK just for one day, maybe just a
Speaker 7: few hours. The guys are trained to measure over the
Speaker 7: existing you know, laminate or Korean or sometimes people don't
Speaker 7: pull grunt to install new new colors.
Speaker 5: Yeah, let me ask you something, how good does your
Speaker 5: website perform for you.
Speaker 7: Pretty good, I think, And we're always working on that.
Speaker 7: We're always always adding more information.
Speaker 5: And yeah, I think one thing that I've noticed and
Speaker 5: we have with me, I have with me Sean haiks Now.
Speaker 5: I've known Sean for about fifteen years and he's had
Speaker 5: several companies that he's he started and moved on. And
Speaker 5: his latest company is Simpler with A Y, S Y
Speaker 5: M P L e R. Simpler with a Y. They
Speaker 5: do SEO and digital marketing. We talked about common problems.
Speaker 5: I want to give an amateur view of common problem.
Speaker 5: I think one of the common problems is that search
Speaker 5: engines like to search the structure of the web of
Speaker 5: the website. I think the menu, structure, the pages, and
Speaker 5: they have to be logical. I think a lot of
Speaker 5: these websites, right from the beginning are not laid out
Speaker 5: in a way that search engines like them. That's just
Speaker 5: my amateur view of it. Sean, What's what is the
Speaker 5: most basic mistake companies make?
Speaker 1: I'm going to turn your mic on here, go ahead. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I would I would say, probably not titling your
Speaker 1: pages correctly.
Speaker 5: Does it actually look at the type you mean? Titling
Speaker 5: with the H one headlines and H two and H three.
Speaker 1: So you have that. But but in the in the
Speaker 1: metadata and the header tag of the site, there's an
Speaker 1: actual title tag which tells Google what that page is about.
Speaker 1: So a lot of people will put their company name
Speaker 1: in it instead of what they actually do. So, okay,
Speaker 1: if you're a if you're a plumber, let's say you
Speaker 1: title it your company name. Well, that doesn't tell Google
Speaker 1: what that page is about. So instead of putting like
Speaker 1: I'm a Denver plumber or something along those lines, they
Speaker 1: have their company name. And so those title tags are
Speaker 1: probably the quickest way you can reverse your rankings.
Speaker 5: For you can start getting positive rankings just by changing titles.
Speaker 1: Just by reorganizing.
Speaker 5: And the menu structure is that important that it be logical?
Speaker 1: It is?
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You want to look at a menu as like a
Speaker 1: directory format, right, So you have services slash plumbing, and
Speaker 1: then under plumbing you might have drain repair, you might
Speaker 1: have toilet leak, you might have whatever you know subcategories.
Speaker 5: In my research, I found that And I don't know
Speaker 5: if this is true or not. I'm giving you my
Speaker 5: amateur opinion. I want your professional opinion. You are a genius.
Speaker 1: I can't give.
Speaker 5: Any specific examples because they're personal of what I needed
Speaker 5: him to do online and unfreaking believable how he does it.
Speaker 5: It's unbelievable you can make because some people like a
Speaker 5: lot of searches accentuated, others want them buried, depending on
Speaker 5: Really I'm serious. So do you ever get into reputation management?
Speaker 1: All the time? I got into it probably twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: I asked someone that worked for me, don't let go
Speaker 1: for a specific reason, and they went online and trashed me.
Speaker 1: And I started doing it for myself and I figured, wow,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other people that need this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So that's digital marketing, reputation management also SEO. So
Speaker 5: let's talk. What I was about to say about SEO
Speaker 5: is that I was told a big mistake is they
Speaker 5: try to universally boost their searches as opposed to in
Speaker 5: their neighborhood or in their zip codes. And I was
Speaker 5: told that effective SEO is from the zip code outward
Speaker 5: for each company, and that technically you should have a
Speaker 5: page for each area. Almost is that true?
Speaker 1: It depends. So Google has specific guidelines. They're called Google Search.
Speaker 5: Essentially, we only go by Google right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, Google is kind of the big one, right,
Speaker 1: but it's changing though it is we focus on generitive
Speaker 1: AI search A lot of people media searches.
Speaker 5: I never go to Google anymore. I go to AI
Speaker 5: say where can I find this?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So AI is great. It still needs a little work,
Speaker 1: but well.
Speaker 5: How do you show up in AI? How do you
Speaker 5: how do you make a company show up at AI?
Speaker 5: Or is it is AI just searching Google?
Speaker 1: It depends, so like if you look at like chat
Speaker 1: GPT for an example, yes, or when you when you
Speaker 1: ask it for a specific recommendation. It pulls from different sources.
Speaker 1: One of them is Google. So if you do well
Speaker 1: in Google, a lot of times you'll see yourself pull
Speaker 1: up there. You have Gemini, which is a Google product.
Speaker 5: And then what about being? Do you do you kind
Speaker 5: of optimize? Is there one rule for all of them?
Speaker 5: Or do you have to have different rules for different sites?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Who's bing? No, I'm just kidding, that's it really
Speaker 1: Not a lot of people use being, but it is important.
Speaker 1: We don't ignore it. Typically, if you do well in Google,
Speaker 1: you'll do well in Bing, and you'll do well in
Speaker 1: a right.
Speaker 5: Okay, if you guys have businesses and want free advice,
Speaker 5: he will actually look at your website online and tell
Speaker 5: you what he thinks of it. This is a free
Speaker 5: review of your website, and he can tell a lot
Speaker 5: by just going to it and looking at some analytics.

Speaker 5: friends asked to analyze his website as well waterpros dot net. Again,
Speaker 5: this has nothing to do with the business at hand.
Speaker 5: This has to do with their website only. What is
Speaker 5: your question, Reggie?
Speaker 10: Is there a way to get I'm driving and I can't.
Speaker 10: I don't want to violating the laws and trying to
Speaker 10: do the hands freeze. Any way, we can get ahold

Speaker 10: website later on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just tell tell us what your website is.

Speaker 5: get back.
Speaker 1: To you if you have on air questions.
Speaker 5: We love to hear it any on air analysis will
Speaker 5: do as well.
Speaker 1: So do you have.
Speaker 5: Anything to say about the two websites? In questions the
Speaker 5: artfgranted dot Com? Anything to help Mitchellong come and really again,
Speaker 5: we're not this is not a reflection on his business.
Speaker 5: This reflection on his website. Do you have anything to
Speaker 5: say about it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean with the with the art of granted,
Speaker 1: I would say kind of similar back to what I
Speaker 1: was talking about with the title tags. It has the
Speaker 1: business name in it.
Speaker 5: It doesn't say what he does, right, it should say
Speaker 5: would granted though be a good thing? The art of granted?
Speaker 5: Would that kind of safe?
Speaker 1: Having granted in the names? Good? But you want to
Speaker 1: have granite countertip in there?
Speaker 5: Denver countertops, Denver.
Speaker 1: Denver, Grantite countertops.
Speaker 5: It's not just Granted. He does all kinds of stuff,
Speaker 5: so Denver countertops or stuff like that. You can title
Speaker 5: a page anything you want.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just needs to be relevant to what the
Speaker 1: page is about.
Speaker 5: Because if it's considered a doorway site, is that what
Speaker 5: you were calling it?
Speaker 1: Or a gateway what were you call it? The doorway pages?
Speaker 5: Doorway pages can penalize you.
Speaker 1: They can. Yeah, So if you put up information on
Speaker 1: a page that's designed to rank for a specific term,
Speaker 1: but send someone to a different area. And the website
Speaker 1: that could be considered a doorway.
Speaker 5: So you have to have the pages congruent with the
Speaker 5: names content wise.
Speaker 1: Content wise, and it has to serve a specific purpose.
Speaker 5: Okay, and that purpose would be to give information on that.
Speaker 1: So maybe it's a page that talks about the different
Speaker 1: types of granite or.
Speaker 5: The different types of countertops, coundtops in general, natural stone, aerials,
Speaker 5: available things. Okay, those lines, And so what about waterpros
Speaker 5: dot net. My friend Paul the Waterman, Paul Doubting, he's
Speaker 5: a great guy. What a freaking business he has. I mean,
Speaker 5: you can't touch his prices. But does that website get
Speaker 5: the deserved.
Speaker 1: So probably something similar it would It could definitely, you know,
Speaker 1: go we should go through the site and look at
Speaker 1: the different titles, same titles, metadata, heading tags, What.
Speaker 5: What kind of traffic do either of them get?
Speaker 1: So water Pros, I'm shown around three hundred and fifteen
Speaker 1: organic visits per month, down fifteen percent this month over
Speaker 1: over last month. Let me look at the art of
Speaker 1: Grand at air Artic Grand and I'm showing about seventy
Speaker 1: five organic visitors per month. That's very small, and that's
Speaker 1: like we've got to tuck off those social media and
Speaker 1: pay and stuff like that. But yeah, yeah, that's very small.
Speaker 5: Okay, So what about can you tell analyze what Facebook
Speaker 5: does for a company as far as traffic or yeah,
Speaker 5: or anything leads traffic or is that just is that
Speaker 5: up to the company.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd have to have conversion tracking set up specific
Speaker 1: to Facebook and then you could do that through Google Analytics.
Speaker 5: Can you guys do that along with Instagram and other
Speaker 5: marketing we do?
Speaker 1: Yeah?

Speaker 5: Dominic has a question for us. Dominic, what is your
Speaker 5: question about SEO? Do you have a site you want
Speaker 5: us to evaluate?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I Tom, I've got I've got a small excavation
Speaker 11: landscape company and i'd love I'd love your opinion on
Speaker 11: on the website and see how the SEO is doing.
Speaker 11: Back when I started the company about four or five
Speaker 11: years ago. You know, I didn't know anything about it,
Speaker 11: and somebody from actually my high school kind of set
Speaker 11: it up. So I'm sure there's room for improvement there.
Speaker 11: So if you could take a look at it, I'd
Speaker 11: appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Okay, So what is the What is your website?
Speaker 11: Yeah, so it's VPS Victor Paul Smith Middle Dawn Colorado
Speaker 11: dot com.
Speaker 5: So it's Victor Papa Sierra hyphen Colorado.
Speaker 11: Yep, Colorado spelled out dot com.
Speaker 5: Okay, by the way, I and what does the VPS
Speaker 5: stand for? Is it Property Service? Villano Property Services?
Speaker 11: Yep, that's what it stands for.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 5: Okay. See, this is another thing I want to explain.
Speaker 5: So many companies name their websites in a lame manner.
Speaker 5: Now I'm not trying to pick on you, Dominic, but
Speaker 5: what I mean is this, you were hell bent on
Speaker 5: getting Villano Property Services in the name. Nobody cares about
Speaker 5: your name in the website unless you're a personality like
Speaker 5: John Wayne dot com. I mean. But but normally, if
Speaker 5: you're like Vellano Property Services, website names should have don't
Speaker 5: have to have your name. In fact, sometimes it's detrimental
Speaker 5: to have your name in it. I mean, listen to this.
Speaker 5: I know a real estate person. Her name, it's a
Speaker 5: real person. Michelle Gerlowski Gerlowski. Michelle Gerlarowski. I was on
Speaker 5: with the SEO guy and her marketing guy when we
Speaker 5: were talking about a possible endorsement arrangement. She's out of Colorado, spree,
Speaker 5: A lovely woman, a great real estate broker. So nothing
Speaker 5: to do with that. But Michelle Gerlarowski Gerlrowski, I swear
Speaker 5: to god, do you know you can try?
Speaker 1: You can?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 5: It was she No, she's real estate right, No, she's
Speaker 5: an attorney, Michelle Gerlarowski. Okay, whatever it was. They were
Speaker 5: discussing marketing with us, do you remember that. So I'm
Speaker 5: on the conference call. I'm on the conference call, and
Speaker 5: I said, did any of you morons? I didn't say morons?
Speaker 5: Did any of you consider maybe changing the website name
Speaker 5: rather than Michelle Gerlarowski dot com?
Speaker 6: And if Michelle Michelle wasn't actually spelled the normal way either, No.
Speaker 5: It was Mashell, Maschelle girl Erowski or something dot com. Well,
Speaker 5: whatever the hell it was, I said, first of all,
Speaker 5: give it another name. Now, I really pride myself in
Speaker 5: coming up with great names. So we had another business
Speaker 5: wanted to get their business name in there, and I said,
Speaker 5: you don't have to do that. You say, I said,
Speaker 5: you're a car nannythcarnanny dot com. Because he had such
Speaker 5: a and he didn't use it, got it for him,
Speaker 5: didn't use it. And I said, here's the deal. Names
Speaker 5: don't have to have your company in it. They don't
Speaker 5: have to have your initials in it. They don't have
Speaker 5: to have anything about you in it. Get a good name. Okay, now,
Speaker 5: now referralss dot com. That says a lot right there,
Speaker 5: right Okay, Tom Martinez go, I'm the only reason I
Speaker 5: have that is because I'm a I'm a I'm a
Speaker 5: character on the radio. But normally you don't need your
Speaker 5: name and the damn webs URLs, Sean, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Do you find that URLs sometimes are so ridiculous to begin?
Speaker 5: Do you ever counsel people on the actual U ur l.
Speaker 1: Oh for sure? Yeah, if you can't figure out how
Speaker 1: to pronounce it, you can't, you know.
Speaker 5: And hyphens our death in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we usually don't recommend it hyphen in a domain name.
Speaker 1: If someone's starting a business, we'll usually look for something.
Speaker 5: That Dominic, what do you do? What do you do, Dominic?
Speaker 5: What is your primary business?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I do excavation and landscape, So anything to do
Speaker 11: with that, gravel driveways, finished grading, dirt work on a colverts.
Speaker 11: I do rock in multi install drained solutions.
Speaker 5: So you should have dirt in the name, maybe dirt moving.
Speaker 5: I'mrvhed I move dirt or dom moves dirt. I mean,
Speaker 5: I'm telling you you should have something so basic. Now, Mark,
Speaker 5: I want to credit him with a few he's done
Speaker 5: for us. He has found so many cool names for
Speaker 5: people that have advertised with us. It's amazing, Like I
Speaker 5: don't know, it's just amazing to me. The of the
Speaker 5: website itself is a mistake about ninety percent of the time.
Speaker 1: Well, we got one we're doing right now for Foundations,
Speaker 1: and it's called just Foundations.
Speaker 5: Now, that's it, bro, that's it, just Foundations. But if
Speaker 5: his name was gerl Erowski, we wouldn't say gerl Erowski
Speaker 5: foundations dot com, would we?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 9: Three?
Speaker 5: O three seven one three A two five five. Let's
Speaker 5: go to uh So, Dominic, did you look at his website?
Speaker 5: Let's tell Dominic what what you think of VPS. First
Speaker 5: of all, VPS you can't even say on the radio
Speaker 5: because you don't know if you're saying VPS, VSP or
Speaker 5: v VBS or and hyphen And then Colorado Berg. You
Speaker 5: might have a great business, and of course this has
Speaker 5: nothing to do with your business. But if I were you,
Speaker 5: I'd get a new r L and point it to
Speaker 5: to VPS dash Colorado dot com. But get a new
Speaker 5: get a new website name. That's my opinion. But what
Speaker 5: do you find about his site?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so same kind of mistake that everyone has. The
Speaker 1: title is home for the site versus what the what
Speaker 1: the product is or service?
Speaker 5: What he does?
Speaker 1: Dirt, there's no I would add service pages that are
Speaker 1: specific to each individual service offered. Right, traffic wise, it's
Speaker 1: showing nothing as far as organic goes no no traffic,
Speaker 1: no traffic from organic, So there's definitely some opportunity there there.
Speaker 5: So you're not getting anything from your website. So you
Speaker 5: say you have an actual SEO.
Speaker 10: Guy, I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, well that's good. That's good because if you did,
Speaker 5: I was going to say fire them. Okay, so you
Speaker 5: don't have to fire anybody. So the friend you know here,
Speaker 5: But but listen, you really should give someone a call
Speaker 5: that knows what they're doing. And I don't even know
Speaker 5: how you know if you know what I don't even
Speaker 5: know how I would know if they know what they're doing.
Speaker 5: How do you know? I mean, I've known Sean a
Speaker 5: long time, so I know he knows what he's doing,
Speaker 5: and he's proven it to me with a few tricks
Speaker 5: literally like pulling rabbits out of a hat online. But
Speaker 5: I don't know other companies and can speak firsthand. I
Speaker 5: know some of them seem to be pretty good. For example,
Speaker 5: Get Found Fast Good Company. Never had complaints about these guys,
Speaker 5: right Mark, Get found Fast and and uh they're still
Speaker 5: going strong. There are some companies that have been around
Speaker 5: and stood the test of time. But Dominic, you you
Speaker 5: need to get a new name for your for everything,
Speaker 5: I mean, get it you.
Speaker 1: You understand too.
Speaker 5: This is something people may not understand if they're hell
Speaker 5: bent on having their name or their initials like VPS
Speaker 5: hyphen Colorado dot com. You can have other u r
Speaker 5: ls that point to it, so it doesn't have to
Speaker 5: be It doesn't have to be one u r L.
Speaker 5: If that makes sense anybody else and then anybody else
Speaker 5: have questions.
Speaker 11: As far as that goes. If I end up changing
Speaker 11: the U the.
Speaker 12: U r L, the reviews would day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, of course none of that needs the change. Yeah,
Speaker 5: none of that changes because you're you're keeping the same
Speaker 5: room URL, but you're giving a new one to point
Speaker 5: to it. I understand. So yeah, so when it points
Speaker 5: to it. But I would come up with a more
Speaker 5: clever name, and uh, just something that says what you do.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 5: You're a dirt mover, you move earth. Do you do
Speaker 5: you do landscaping?
Speaker 11: I do, yeah, I do, you know, the more of
Speaker 11: the heavy equipment side of it, but more of the
Speaker 11: rock and multions tall stuff. I don't do any sprinkler
Speaker 11: systems or anything like that, but I do do some landscaping.

Speaker 7: a very high high quality product. You can you know,

Speaker 5: most popular the most popular thing you have right now?

Speaker 7: Probably the quartz kind of tup is quart popular nowadays.
Speaker 6: That's what he did in our bathroom, man, and it
Speaker 6: is absolutely amazing and beautiful. And he did the windowsills
Speaker 6: he did around the tub. Hit transform you saw our bathroom.
Speaker 6: It transformed that bathroom built in two thousand and one
Speaker 6: to something that is absolutely gorgeous.
Speaker 5: Tom, Yeah, it is gorgeous. Mark when I walked in there,
Speaker 5: man was breathtaking. So is quartz natural or man made?

Speaker 1: He's an engineer's stone where.

Speaker 7: It's made from from natural stone, yes, some ninety four percent,
Speaker 7: and then they apply the resin and and the deffen
Speaker 7: dies and they come up with all these cools.
Speaker 5: Get it, I get it, But but so so most
Speaker 5: people are getting the quart site or excuse me, the courts.
Speaker 1: The courts, Yes, it's very popular.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's made from quartz site three oh three

Speaker 5: You'll think you're his only customer when you choose Frank
Speaker 5: durand the real estate Man dot com to list your
Speaker 5: home with Remax Alliance three all three nine two zero
Speaker 5: sixteen twenty two.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 5: Hi Tom Martino, you're a troubleshooter. We've had several people
Speaker 5: text us some sites to look at, and uh, one
Speaker 5: is Blue Sky Boulder dot com Blue Sky Boulder, and uh,
Speaker 5: the name of his company is Blue Sky Window Cleaning.
Speaker 5: So what do you think of that one?
Speaker 1: I'm guessing he probably didn't buy Blue Sky Window Cleaning
Speaker 1: because maybe it wasn't available.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I'm wondering why he has Blue Sky Boulder
Speaker 5: dot com. And he has Blue Sky Boulder. Do you
Speaker 5: only do Boulder if that's the case. Okay, but he
Speaker 5: also has Front Range Window Cleaning dot com. That's long,
Speaker 5: but that's pretty cool. Blue really front range window cleaning
Speaker 5: certainly gets the point across. Anyway, What about the site itself, so.
Speaker 1: Again, same thing as the other ones. Home is the
Speaker 1: is the title tags. That's the first thing Google looks at,
Speaker 1: right homeeg. So the homepage. Yeah, so in the title
Speaker 1: it says home, it should say, you know, window cleaning,
Speaker 1: services and whatever. It should be specific to the services offered.
Speaker 5: Okay, and what about the layout of the site itself?
Speaker 1: It's good? Yeah, I think you know, this is the
Speaker 1: first one that has the services listed out in a
Speaker 1: meaningful way.
Speaker 5: There's definitely exactly he has all of the services listed
Speaker 5: out inside outside pelas, storm windows, storm doors, interior glass,
Speaker 5: track cleaning, and that. Google loves separate pages like that,
Speaker 5: and you talk about each one. So whoever showed you
Speaker 5: how to lay it out knew what they were talking about,
Speaker 5: but they fell a little short. How's the traffic on
Speaker 5: that site?
Speaker 1: Terrible? Yeah, I'm showing zero as well.
Speaker 5: Zero traffic. Okay. What about pat And it's what's really
Speaker 5: weird is it's one word Patridge Realty dot com. Pat
Speaker 5: Ridge Realty. I thought that was his name, pat Ridge,
Speaker 5: but it's Patridge must be his last name or something.
Speaker 5: I don't know. To me, it's just again, what a
Speaker 5: terrible name for a website. But at least it says realty.
Speaker 5: But this is my amateuristic view.
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, so similar to kind of
Speaker 1: everything else we're saying. One thing I did notice. So
Speaker 1: when you go under services and you click on like
Speaker 1: buying the perfect home for an example, and you click
Speaker 1: on explore, it just goes back to the homepage. So
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of depth as far as being
Speaker 1: able to build that out. And what does that mean?
Speaker 5: In fact, all of the all of the links go
Speaker 5: back to the they're broken links. Well they're not broken,
Speaker 5: they just don't mean anything. So those services should be
Speaker 5: spelled out and each in every link should have a
Speaker 5: separate page that spells out that particular service. Remember, service
Speaker 5: pages are good for each and every service you do.
Speaker 5: Don't make one page for all of your surchervices. So
Speaker 5: Google wants to crawl that site and they look at
Speaker 5: a heading like services. Then they go into that heading
Speaker 5: and if you don't have the services listed, that's a ding.
Speaker 5: If you do have the services listed, then they want
Speaker 5: to see a page for each service and in the
Speaker 5: areas you do. So, you have to be very specific
Speaker 5: on your pages as you drill down. Consumers may never
Speaker 5: look there, but Google and other search engines will. And
Speaker 5: the name pat Ridge Realty is hard to say. It's
Speaker 5: really hard to say. And Patridge, I don't even know
Speaker 5: why that? What about traffic? I should same shown zero
Speaker 5: zero traffic. So those are your sites there, folks. If
Speaker 5: you want one, give us a call, or actually you
Speaker 5: don't have to give us a call. You can you
Speaker 5: can do the the text to us and we'll look
Speaker 5: at the site. Chris, go ahead, what's going on?
Speaker 13: Tom, Beaumar, Bomar?
Speaker 10: There's tons of rich people. I'm Beaumar Rock Rock Bamar
Speaker 10: or what do you saying?
Speaker 8: Beaumar like Beaumart?
Speaker 1: He Chris?
Speaker 14: You know?
Speaker 5: Chris?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Man? What what is this call about?
Speaker 1: That?
Speaker 5: What's Bomar?
Speaker 16: Oh?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry? The domain name.
Speaker 3: For what?
Speaker 11: For the guy that wants a domain name?
Speaker 5: But what is Beaumar? What is it? It's name of
Speaker 5: an area in Denver. But why would that be a
Speaker 5: U R L for a company Bomar?
Speaker 11: The listeners?
Speaker 6: No, who Beaumar represents?
Speaker 5: All right, bro, take it easy Chris, Chris, go back
Speaker 5: to your vodka or jin maybe maybe I don't know,
Speaker 5: maybe Jack Daniels, whatever it is, go back to it.
Speaker 5: He just said, Bomar dot com.
Speaker 1: What the hell?
Speaker 5: Okay, Okay, thanks, I'll tell you another one, jeffco dot com.
Speaker 5: I mean, what is bomar dot com? You don't just
Speaker 5: name it because there's rich people in the area. You
Speaker 5: have to have a reason for naming a site.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 5: But then again, trying to reason with him was weird.
Speaker 5: So Patridge Realty said, thank you.
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 6: Bonnie Trapper says, Bonnie.
Speaker 5: Funny. That's funny. That's funny. Okay, look at curb Scape
Speaker 5: Colorado dot com, curb skate. What is curbescape because they
Speaker 5: do curbs escapers?
Speaker 1: Are those fancy curbs? Yeah?
Speaker 5: God man, I wish I should just take a job
Speaker 5: doing nothing but coming up with URLs for people.
Speaker 1: Curbescape so the domains. Okay, the site looks maybe like
Speaker 1: it was built in the nineties. Curbscape, it's the one
Speaker 1: I'm looking at.
Speaker 5: Curbscape Colorado, Colorado dot com. Folks, let's talk about your
Speaker 5: website and more. Also, Mitch Fleerious of this from the
Speaker 5: artigradic dot com. Yeah, Curbscape is a terrible looking website.
Speaker 5: It's very claustrophobic and very weird. But as far as
Speaker 5: traffic goes, we'll talk about that coming up and any
Speaker 5: kind of suggestions three O three seven one three A
Speaker 5: two five five go with a sure thing Denver's best

Speaker 5: Man Dix is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martino, Hi
Speaker 5: Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. We got all
Speaker 5: kinds of things happening. We're talking about SEO and digital marketing.
Speaker 5: We're also talking about Countertops with Mitch Fleury from the
Speaker 5: Art of Granite. So it's a mixed bag today. If
Speaker 5: you have a website you want analyzed, of course a
Speaker 5: true SEO review, which is free and complementary from Simpler
Speaker 5: s Y M P L E R. Simpler it's simple
Speaker 5: with a why, Simpler with a Y. They'll do one,
Speaker 5: but right now we're doing quick ones, just initially to
Speaker 5: let you know about your website. And some people are
Speaker 5: getting some bad news. But it's better to have accurate
Speaker 5: news than not. This one website we were told to
Speaker 5: look at is Curbescape Colorado dot com. That's not really
Speaker 5: terrible Curbscape Colorado dot com. I found some other URLs
Speaker 5: that would be I think better. But the site is
Speaker 5: very weird looking and unattractive. Do you agree, Sean Sean
Speaker 5: is with Simpler Sean the owner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like it was built maybe in the nineties. Okay,
Speaker 1: it kind of gives me that vibe.
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's not WordPress, is it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 5: So why is it off to the left like that?
Speaker 5: It's a style issue a.
Speaker 1: Line, yeah, I mean, and then some of the pages
Speaker 1: are I mean, they open them up and you'll see
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, but they they open up and
Speaker 1: pop ups with I frames.
Speaker 5: How is the structure of the site, not the appearance,
Speaker 5: but the structure.
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean like when you click on our process
Speaker 1: it comes up as a pop up, it should technically
Speaker 1: open up in a new page with a very detailed
Speaker 1: description of what the process is. Okay.
Speaker 5: And then what about the other links they have? They're
Speaker 5: all a lot of them are pop ups.
Speaker 1: There's there's not a lot of content, Yeah, very little,
Speaker 1: very little content. You know, you want to, you want
Speaker 1: to over, you want to you want to do what
Speaker 1: it's called topical.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got to stop with the pop ups too,
Speaker 5: and then it just needs a whole complete redesign.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 5: What about traffic.
Speaker 1: I'm showing that they get about two visitors a month.
Speaker 5: Two visitors, that's like zero traffic people, two visitors a month.
Speaker 5: And do you like the name curbs ape? How does
Speaker 5: the title his pages?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it looks like he's targeting I mean, this
Speaker 1: one actually has some real titles in it. This one
Speaker 1: looks like it's targeting Lewisville kurbscapes. However, when I look
Speaker 1: at search volume, so it says curbscape ink Lewisville, Colorado,
Speaker 1: servicing the Colorado Front Range from Fort Collins Castle has
Speaker 1: the geographic location in there, which is good. There's just
Speaker 1: not a lot of search volume for anything else in there. Okay.
Speaker 5: Now, Frank durand the real estate Man dot com, you
Speaker 5: say gets excellent traffic.
Speaker 1: Well, so he gets a lot of branded traffic. What
Speaker 1: does that mean from us from the radio? Yep? So
Speaker 1: people hear the name and they go to Google, okay
Speaker 1: and search for it.
Speaker 5: And how do you know that?
Speaker 1: Because I can see how many people are searching for
Speaker 1: his name.
Speaker 5: Oh as opposed to going straight to it.
Speaker 1: Right, So someone for an example, home appraisal estimate is
Speaker 1: one of the keywords where he's on the on the
Speaker 1: eighth page of Google. But it shows that he's somewhere
Speaker 1: in the first ten pages, right, but it doesn't have
Speaker 1: his name in it. So we would look at that
Speaker 1: as a non branded search, which would be more so
Speaker 1: SEO trap. But he gets branded searches.
Speaker 5: Most of it's people looking for him. Yes, Okay. Is
Speaker 5: that good to have people looking for you as a
Speaker 5: result of other advertising.
Speaker 1: I mean it's great. I think having you know it
Speaker 1: shows that you're out there doing other types of advertising,
Speaker 1: which then can support.
Speaker 5: So if you add that to organic search results, you'd
Speaker 5: have a really double whammy winner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and typically what you see so he's at like
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent branded or non branded traffic. When you
Speaker 1: get the unbranded traffic that picks up, your branded traffic
Speaker 1: starts treming down, which is still good. It doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you're losing it. You're just getting more traffic though.
Speaker 5: So is it better to get traffic that's unbranded where
Speaker 5: they're not looking for you specifically, they're just looking for
Speaker 5: a service and you.
Speaker 1: Pop up right? Yeah, it is because those are the
Speaker 1: people that don't know about you. They're researching.
Speaker 5: Okay, they don't know about you, so they're new, whereas
Speaker 5: the other ones heard about you and are looking for you. Troy,
Speaker 5: you have a question, go ahead, Troy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Hey, I've got two websites. The first one is Falco
Speaker 8: Firearms dot Com. I've had that one up.
Speaker 1: And listen for.
Speaker 5: Falco Firearm Falco F A F A L C O.
Speaker 8: Correct firearms.
Speaker 5: What's Falco for? What is Falco?
Speaker 8: Actually the name of the band Rockmamadeas.
Speaker 5: But I'm in Falcon, Colorado, So okay, So Falcon firearms.
Speaker 5: You're a fire I see the website. Are you twenty
Speaker 5: one years or older? It says, is this your website?
Speaker 5: You sell guns?
Speaker 8: Yeah? On that one, and I've got another one Falco
Speaker 8: outdoors dot Com and the rest up. Another one was
Speaker 8: was because social media hates guns and I'm gonna mart Yeah, so.
Speaker 1: Did you tell what is this?
Speaker 5: So the significance of Falco is where you're located? Did
Speaker 5: you say?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 8: Kind of Falcon Firearms was already taken. So uh, I
Speaker 8: just dropped off the in on Falcon and went with Falco.
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, it's kind of makes no sense to me,
Speaker 5: But I don't know. What do you think, Sean? What
Speaker 5: do you think about the site Falco outdoors dot com
Speaker 5: and Falco Firearms. Is he right when he says that
Speaker 5: social media doesn't like fine? I mean, can they actually
Speaker 5: can google in those people downplay like gun results if
Speaker 5: they want to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty bad, even even with knives and things
Speaker 1: like that, and that's what.
Speaker 5: Really similar and guns. They will downplay that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They won't let you advertise yea, and they can
Speaker 1: ban you as well.
Speaker 5: Oh so what about is Falco Outdoors?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean that's uh there's a lot of kind of
Speaker 1: tricks you can do to get around that. That's what
Speaker 1: that's one of them. It's the same thing with like
Speaker 1: the CBD space.
Speaker 5: It looks like he's listing a lot of stuff. How's
Speaker 5: the structure of his website?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good. Yeah, the titles could be optimized. They're
Speaker 1: not super specific.
Speaker 5: Your page titles are not optimized. What about traffic to
Speaker 5: that site?
Speaker 1: Very little traffic, not a lot of backlinks. Back links
Speaker 1: is something we haven't really talked about a lot, but
Speaker 1: does have a lot of influence. What is a back link?
Speaker 1: For example, like referral list dot com. You have a
Speaker 1: listing on there, they put their website on there that
Speaker 1: gives them an SEO credit from your site to their site.
Speaker 1: It's almost like a direct endorsement. Okay, one website to another.
Speaker 5: And so can websites help each other? Yeah, they can.
Speaker 1: You don't want to do reciprocal linking, like hey, link
Speaker 1: to man a link to you back Why is that penalize? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's one of the things in Google's Webmaster guidelines. That's
Speaker 1: that's frowned upon for link manipulation. But if you're out advertising,
Speaker 1: if you're let's say, doing the Home Show and they
Speaker 1: put you on their website and they link to you.
Speaker 1: That's great, you get mentioned in a newspaper or write
Speaker 1: up things like that. That's so.
Speaker 5: Any links to your good. You can have bad links too,
Speaker 5: But what are bad links?
Speaker 1: So bad link? Google calls them bad neighborhoods. So if
Speaker 1: you think about like a reputation you hang out with someone,
Speaker 1: that's so if a.
Speaker 5: Bad page, like a bad porn page, links to me,
Speaker 5: that could be bad for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could so. Google over the years has learned
Speaker 1: how to recognize these and automatically in most cases discount them.
Speaker 1: But then there's something called negative seo, which Google says
Speaker 1: doesn't work, but it does. It's negative seo. It's where
Speaker 1: I can trick Google. Let's say I don't I want
Speaker 1: to go after my competitor. I can build a bunch
Speaker 1: of links that essentially violate Google's guidelines and get Google
Speaker 1: to penalize that site.
Speaker 5: Really, you can get Google to penalize a competitor site.
Speaker 1: You can, yes, yep, and it happens all the time.
Speaker 1: I do expert witness testimony, not as much now but
Speaker 1: previous years for cases just like that.
Speaker 5: So I would go on and build links as if
Speaker 5: that company did it for themselves, right exactly. That seems
Speaker 5: like a flaw in the system.
Speaker 1: It is, and they over the years have said they've
Speaker 1: got it figured out, but they don't clearly don't. Huh.
Speaker 5: So any recommendations for Falco, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I would just I mean a good on page SEO
Speaker 1: campaign to rebuild titles, meta descriptions, probably some additional content.
Speaker 1: You want to do keyword clustering, so you want to
Speaker 1: look at like particular topics and then what people are
Speaker 1: searching around that topic, FAQs and things like that to
Speaker 1: include in your content.
Speaker 5: Troy, do you have any specific questions before I move
Speaker 5: on to another caller?
Speaker 8: No, but yeah I had I hired an SEO guy
Speaker 8: for the Falco firearms and yeah, you're right, there's a
Speaker 8: lot Charlatan's out there. Yeah. He kept saying, trust the process,
Speaker 8: trust the process. Well, I'm a nerd. I want to
Speaker 8: see the data. I want to see numbers, and he
Speaker 8: wouldn't show me any any numbers where we were actually
Speaker 8: improving anything.
Speaker 5: I agree with you, you got to see the number.
Speaker 1: I would say to always ask your SEO people for
Speaker 1: access to Google Webmaster tools also called Google Search console
Speaker 1: that'll give you all the raw data as far as
Speaker 1: what they're doing.
Speaker 5: Okay, now is that available to anybody? Can you look
Speaker 5: at mine? Can I look at yours?
Speaker 1: Can people look at You have to install a metadiscripe
Speaker 1: or some kind of verification code on your website one,
Speaker 1: so it.
Speaker 5: Does have to be germane to the site. But if
Speaker 5: you own it's your site, you can have as okay
Speaker 5: to it. Bob, you have a question, go ahead, Bob.
Speaker 16: Hello, how you doing?
Speaker 1: Good man?
Speaker 5: What are you looking for an evaluation?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 11: I was just looking if I maybe get an evaluation
Speaker 11: on my website?
Speaker 5: What is it?
Speaker 11: It's Amen Home Improvements LC dot com.
Speaker 5: Amen, as in the end of a prayer.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 5: Yes, okay, Amen Home Improvements dot Com. Oh wait, Amen
Speaker 5: Home Improvements LLC dot com.
Speaker 8: Yes, that's it.
Speaker 12: That's the one.
Speaker 5: Okay, hold on, we'll come back for that and more.
Speaker 5: On the Troubleshooter Show, we have one quick question for
Speaker 5: mits Floria the art of Granite Mitch. Someone wants to
Speaker 5: know if solid surfaces are still available like corean I
Speaker 5: even forgot about those. Are those kinds of solid surfaces
Speaker 5: still available?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 7: Korean, we don't fabricate that I think. I think it's available,
Speaker 7: but it's not as common anymore.
Speaker 1: And I think.
Speaker 7: Courts is not that much more expensive, but it's a
Speaker 7: lot harder and durable. So before you, okay, buy Corey
Speaker 7: and look into Courts, I highly recommend probably see that
Speaker 7: prices are not higher and you're going to end up
Speaker 7: with a much better product.
Speaker 5: And that's Mitch Fileuria Thelready granted dot com. I have
Speaker 5: another question, do you do they want to know lamin
Speaker 5: and granite or stone where you don't have to pull
Speaker 5: out all the counters and you just go over with
Speaker 5: a quarter.
Speaker 7: Inch No, we don't do that. I think in the
Speaker 7: past some companies were doing that. But we just we
Speaker 7: just pulled the whole conn of top off and we
Speaker 7: install new straight on a cabinet, and we do it

Speaker 1: It really is.
Speaker 5: And if it doesn't do his job, it's not doing

Speaker 5: the LLC sucks.
Speaker 1: Bob.
Speaker 5: Did you put LLC on there because Amen Home Improvements
Speaker 5: wasn't available?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 3: I did not.
Speaker 10: It was at the choice of the person that I
Speaker 10: have host the site.
Speaker 5: But let me ask you this. You could have gotten
Speaker 5: Amen Home Improvements without the ll see.
Speaker 17: I believe so, yes, Well.
Speaker 5: Go get it right now. Why the hell would you
Speaker 5: ever add? Don't add stuff to a website name. People
Speaker 5: just do so many crazy things. Because he has an LLC,
Speaker 5: he probably thought, well, you should put LLC in there
Speaker 5: because you're at LLC. You know, if somebody advised you

Speaker 5: But uh, as far as design, but he needs to
Speaker 5: be simplified. Now lines and services pretty well?
Speaker 1: Does it good?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, but the actual landing pages are a little
Speaker 1: bit low on content tense. You're want to expand that.
Speaker 1: Why is that a little bit? Because, like I said,
Speaker 1: Google wants to know that if if someone's going to
Speaker 1: your website, they can get an answer to whatever their
Speaker 1: question is. So if you're talking about like fence painting
Speaker 1: and things like that, you want to talk about like

Speaker 12: It was the name of my business and he just
Speaker 12: thought it was appropriate to do.
Speaker 11: Apparently he didn't know what he was doing, so I
Speaker 11: appreciate change it.
Speaker 5: I well, well, yeah, you never add stuff like that.
Speaker 5: Ink ink is up is inc I n C or
Speaker 5: I in K LLC Why LLC? I mean, it's just
Speaker 5: it's just useless, useless. You don't need it. Three oh
Speaker 5: three seven one three eight two five five Teresa, what's
Speaker 5: going on with this clinic? Teresa?
Speaker 18: Yes, good morning. It's not a clinic. It's Apria Healthcare
Speaker 18: and they provide oxygen and.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry, Okay, got it? Apria Healthcare. What's the
Speaker 5: problem with Apria?
Speaker 18: So I'm well, I'm calling on behalf of my son
Speaker 18: that he's at work today. So we've been helping him
Speaker 18: out with his payments because he's been off work all
Speaker 18: last year because of his health situation. But the bottom
Speaker 18: line problem here is the equipment that he needs is
Speaker 18: a BYPAP that he uses overnight. It's like a CPAP,
Speaker 18: but it has an additional function.
Speaker 5: And what's the additional function. What is the additional function here?
Speaker 18: Anto your lungs. But it also removes the carbon dioxide
Speaker 18: that's supposed to come out of your lungs. Apparently he
Speaker 18: was sleeping.
Speaker 5: So tell me something, what is your son's candition.
Speaker 18: He's got well, he's got a lot of issues. He's
Speaker 18: got respiratory issues. He was having a hard time getting
Speaker 18: enough oxygen. He had pneumonia last year and didn't quite
Speaker 18: recover that well, so they put him on oxygen and
Speaker 18: then he was falling asleep in the middle of the
Speaker 18: day even when he's driving.
Speaker 17: So he did a sleep.
Speaker 18: Test at National Jewish and they prescribed a BiPAP machine
Speaker 18: for him to use. It okay, and it's working. It's
Speaker 18: been working just great. But it comes through with the
Speaker 18: Apria company. They're the ones whoized the oxygen concentrator and
Speaker 18: they're the ones who provide the BiPAP. Now, last year,
Speaker 18: our son was out of work all year because he
Speaker 18: was falling asleep and he couldn't function. This year, with
Speaker 18: the BiPAP, he's been able to stay awake and he's
Speaker 18: doing a lot better. But on the bypath was supposed
Speaker 18: to be a rent to own situation, and last year
Speaker 18: he was on Blue Cross Blue Shield and last year,
Speaker 18: since he wasn't working, we were paying his Cobra payments
Speaker 18: and it was rent to own condition. Is what they
Speaker 18: explained to him. Problem is it's all verbal. So as
Speaker 18: we were coming toward the end of the year, our
Speaker 18: son's got a job. He's got a nice job that
Speaker 18: he really likes right now, and that's where he is
Speaker 18: right now, which is why I'm doing the phone calls.
Speaker 18: But toward the end of last year, we knew he
Speaker 18: was going to be not using Blue Cross anymore. So
Speaker 18: I at that time called AFRI and I asked him
Speaker 18: what the remaining balance would be for us to pay
Speaker 18: off was left on the bypath, and they refused to
Speaker 18: give me an amount. They told me that they had
Speaker 18: to have a purchase order from Blue Cross. I called
Speaker 18: Blue Cross. Blue Crosse told me that they had never
Speaker 18: heard of such a thing and that they didn't have
Speaker 18: any kind of purchase order or agreements on that level.
Speaker 18: We could not get anybody to send us anything in
Speaker 18: writing on the agreement. However, our son did see a
Speaker 18: technician from afrilocally when he received the equipment, and that
Speaker 18: technician told him that was rent to own, and he says,
Speaker 18: by the end of the year most of it should
Speaker 18: be paid off.
Speaker 5: So now, yeah, but Teresa, Teresa, Teresa, if you don't
Speaker 5: have any evidence of that at all. You're never going
Speaker 5: to be able to enforce it. You don't have one
Speaker 5: written document signed by anyone that it's rent to own.
Speaker 1: And that's the problem.
Speaker 18: We'd like to just pay it off or buy it,
Speaker 18: and they won't give us even an amount.
Speaker 5: And well, how about going somewhere else to buy it?
Speaker 5: What I'm asking is is maybe it's silly, but why
Speaker 5: don't you just go somewhere else and buy it?
Speaker 18: You know, I'm not sure if that would work.
Speaker 5: Well, let me tell let me, let me help you.
Speaker 5: A bypap a BiPAP machine you can buy on Amazon,
Speaker 5: So I don't know do you need a prescription for it?
Speaker 5: I don't know how they do it on Amazon.
Speaker 18: I think my son had one originally and it went
Speaker 18: through Apria because he was on oxygen and Apria was
Speaker 18: a supplier at the time and they supplied.
Speaker 3: The So.
Speaker 5: Have you thought about just buying a bypap machine?
Speaker 18: You know, I'm not sure if we can do that.
Speaker 18: We might have to, but you know, I'm just kind
Speaker 18: of stuck. I've been trying to call Apria again today
Speaker 18: and I can't get through to anybody.
Speaker 5: Okay, let me make this easy for you. Teresa, you
Speaker 5: have absolutely nothing to go on. Nothing. You have nothing
Speaker 5: to go on except you've been renting it. They're not
Speaker 5: going to let you pay it off and and and
Speaker 5: magically go back and retroactively credit those payments if you
Speaker 5: don't have a purchase agreement. I'd love to help you, Teresa,
Speaker 5: but you're not one person there is acknowledging.
Speaker 18: It, right, Yeah, okay, that's been the problem. So if
Speaker 18: he buys a BYPAP machine, if we get one safe
Speaker 18: from Amazon for him and we want to return this one,
Speaker 18: we can just stop paying for it.
Speaker 5: Right Well, actually, you should be able to just.
Speaker 18: Return it, pardon me.
Speaker 5: You should be able to return it and say we
Speaker 5: don't want this anymore.
Speaker 18: Okay, all right, yeah.
Speaker 1: We listen, we can do that.
Speaker 18: I don't know if we need a Yeah, I don't
Speaker 18: know if we need a prescription for this or not,
Speaker 18: but I guess we can.
Speaker 5: I think you probly well you do for a CPAP machine,
Speaker 5: so you probably do need one. I I just don't
Speaker 5: know what to tell you though, as far as I
Speaker 5: just don't know what to tell you as far as
Speaker 5: now here, Okay, I'm on a site now that sells
Speaker 5: them directly. It's CPAP dot com, but they have bipapmachines
Speaker 5: and they have them for sale. They're seventeen hundred dollars okay, yeah,
Speaker 5: and seventeen hundreds Apria. Yeah how much? Well, and by
Speaker 5: the way, do you pay anything to Apria for that
Speaker 5: or does insurance cover at all?
Speaker 18: Well, insurance is supposed to cover it, but the deductible
Speaker 18: for the insurance he has right now is over six
Speaker 18: thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: So it's you should just buy a machine. The most
Speaker 5: expensive machines now, they're all BYPAP machines. The most expensive
Speaker 5: is about thirty five ninety nine thirty six hundred, and
Speaker 5: the least expensive is fifteen hundred something. So go to
Speaker 5: this website CPAP dot com seepap dot com. That is that,
Speaker 5: I know it says CPAP, but it also has BiPAP machines.

Speaker 5: three nine two zero sixteen twenty two. Hi Tom, Tom
Speaker 5: Martino here three O three seven one three talks seven
Speaker 5: one three eight two five five. We have a number
Speaker 5: of things going on in this show. We're talking about
Speaker 5: website optimization, search engine optimization, new digital marketing, and what's
Speaker 5: wrong with sites doing free evaluation of business sites. We're
Speaker 5: also That's Simpler dot Com Simpler with a Y, and
Speaker 5: we also have Mitch Fleer from the Art of Granite
Speaker 5: dot Com. A question for Mitch, Mitch, somebody wants to
Speaker 5: know if they have a art nook. Do you do
Speaker 5: just countertops or can you do an art nook?
Speaker 7: I'm not sure what he's asking. We can use the
Speaker 7: slab stool.
Speaker 5: Okay, there are there are There are artnooks that have
Speaker 5: sculptures in them. They sent me a picture and it's
Speaker 5: like a bay window, but it's in a wall. I mean,
Speaker 5: there's no window there. There it's just a cutout in
Speaker 5: a wall, an indentation, and usually the flat part has
Speaker 5: some kind of stone sometimes would what do you know
Speaker 5: about him?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean you see those all the time in.
Speaker 5: The statues, grandfather, clock, plants, whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's an easy job.
Speaker 7: We can we can install the shelf maybe he's referring to,
Speaker 7: or maybe we can.
Speaker 5: Install the probably what it would be, Yeah, we can
Speaker 5: dress it would be a shelf niets, yes, yeah.
Speaker 13: Hey, Mitch, can we get back to the kitchen countertop
Speaker 13: for just a second ahead. So, in the case of
Speaker 13: my own kitchen, I sometimes set a bottle of wine
Speaker 13: on the counter and then I don't move it until
Speaker 13: the next day, and there's like that, invariably that dark
Speaker 13: red ring.
Speaker 1: So what kind of counter do you have?
Speaker 13: Oh, it's I really don't know what it came.
Speaker 1: I really don't know.
Speaker 13: The stone kind of Yeah, it feels like some kind
Speaker 13: of plasticky stone. It's some kind of a it's definitely
Speaker 13: a synthetic material. I just don't know what it is.
Speaker 13: But Mitch, So, so for people like me, what is
Speaker 13: the last material that I should consider for a countertop?
Speaker 13: And what is the best material I should consider absorption. Yeah, well,
Speaker 13: or resistance to stain absorption, because I do.
Speaker 1: That's good point.
Speaker 13: Mystery stain mugs and glasses of wine.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what you know, I've noticed even on granite you
Speaker 5: can get sustained. What causes stains and how do you
Speaker 5: avoid them?
Speaker 7: So the natural slabs like granite and quartzites and marbles,
Speaker 7: they're poroues. They they absorb water or they absorb you know,
Speaker 7: if you if you if you spill coffee or wine
Speaker 7: or a dark fluid, that that that will soaking and
Speaker 7: they will leave a stain behind if it's not sealed properly,
Speaker 7: which we do when we install natural stone. But then
Speaker 7: again going back to the courts is non porous, so
Speaker 7: if you spill something on it, it will it will
Speaker 7: not stain, and and if you leave the mark, you
Speaker 7: can just simply clean it.
Speaker 13: So the confusing part about the term quartz. I'm used
Speaker 13: to quartz being like the rock that I find along
Speaker 13: the trail in the mountains. Yeah, but in your industry,
Speaker 13: the term quartz means a synthesized material.
Speaker 5: The courts is the natural sp see is quartzite, yeah,
Speaker 5: which they call chord site in the entry.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so we don't get confused. The court what they
Speaker 7: call quartz is actually the engineer stone, the man made
Speaker 7: product that they what.
Speaker 13: Is a powdered stone with resins.
Speaker 7: It's about ninety four percent of natural quard site and
Speaker 7: granite that they mix together and they apply these these
Speaker 7: dies and resin and they you know, then then they
Speaker 7: make these slabs, they polish them and and and that's
Speaker 7: why they're non pores because of the resin that they
Speaker 7: use and and so so they will not stand the
Speaker 7: very very durable uh and their heat resistant. But yeah,
Speaker 7: the courts, the rocks that you see in nature, that's
Speaker 7: that's the natural courts that they call chort site, and
Speaker 7: the corridors slabs as well, just like the granite, and
Speaker 7: that's pores and that should be sealed and that's you know,
Speaker 7: the crew does that upon installation.
Speaker 13: How often do you reseal it? I mean I clean
Speaker 13: my countertops a couple of times a day, you know,
Speaker 13: I wipe them down with like a spray solution and
Speaker 13: paper paper type. Doesn't that remove the ceialant? And so
Speaker 13: in my case, how often should I reapply the ceilant?
Speaker 7: The seilers nowadays are much better than back in the day.
Speaker 7: We used to have to seal twice an year or
Speaker 7: every other year. The seilers last many years anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you shouldn't have to seal it for a while. If if,
Speaker 7: if the installer did a good job, it's good to go.
Speaker 19: Yes.
Speaker 20: So does granted ever have to be resealed, Yes, every
Speaker 20: so many years. But again, the seilers are so much
Speaker 20: really now it's not on every other it's not in
Speaker 20: every other year deal anymore.
Speaker 5: Okay, we have a request to review a site Cheyenne

Speaker 5: Cheyenne Mountain Dental dot com. It's a little long for

Speaker 1: What? What? What is it like? Yeah, so this one's
Speaker 1: a little bit refreshing. So it looks like they've they
Speaker 1: put a little work into it. Good. The service pages
Speaker 1: are great. They do have good titles and meta descriptions
Speaker 1: and things along those lines. They do get a little
Speaker 1: bit of organic traffic, okay, but but yeah, I mean overall,
Speaker 1: looks like it's going in the right direction.
Speaker 5: And is the traffic pretty good or pretty low or.
Speaker 1: It's let me just double check. I think it's about
Speaker 1: two three hundred a month.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's uh and it's mostly branded, so that's good.
Speaker 5: It's unbranded, meaning people are finding them because of their se.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a lot of their their blogs rank which
Speaker 1: is good.
Speaker 5: So what would you give them as a grade from
Speaker 5: A to D and not an E?
Speaker 1: But you want to say probably a C. And the
Speaker 1: reason why is because the traffic isn't consistent. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: you know, has its ups and downs. But as far
Speaker 1: as the on page goes, it looks like it's so
Speaker 1: a C going, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 5: Going okay, good and and uh, we have a question
Speaker 5: for Mitch Floria. Mitch on the uh on the quartz material.
Speaker 5: Can you get weird colors? And I don't know what

Speaker 5: did you look at it yet, Sean. Sean Hagks is
Speaker 5: with Simpler, a digital marketing company that's s Y M
Speaker 5: P L E R. Simpler with y Did you look
Speaker 5: at it?
Speaker 1: Yes, I took a look at Stone Creek Outfitters dot us.
Speaker 5: And would it be the same for Stone Creek Ltd
Speaker 5: dot com if they both go to the same place.
Speaker 1: It looks like they're different.
Speaker 5: They do.
Speaker 1: They are different, are separate?
Speaker 5: Oh they are? Okay, So what about then, I don't
Speaker 5: know why they would ever do that. Stone Creek Outfitters
Speaker 5: dot us. What does it look like?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this one again, it looks like it's on
Speaker 1: the right path. I do see that their traffic has
Speaker 1: improved since March, which is good. The navigation is a
Speaker 1: little bit overwhelming, so I don't know.
Speaker 5: I thought that Google loves navigation like that with all
Speaker 5: of the different services.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so think about it when you when you nest
Speaker 1: a child category under a parent category and a hierarchy standpoint, do.
Speaker 5: You think they have too many? Too many categories? Yeah,
Speaker 5: so you have for the consumer or for the se
Speaker 5: O for both.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you want to have it where the
Speaker 1: you put the appropriate child category under the parent category.
Speaker 1: So if it's fishing rods for example, and then you
Speaker 1: break it down by subcategory like types of fly fishing
Speaker 1: and whatever, you know, all that underneath it. So but yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's uh, it definitely looks like someone's working
Speaker 1: on it. So that's good. How about traffic, Yeah, so
Speaker 1: traffic wise, they get close to about seven hundred or
Speaker 1: so organic visits that's good for a month. Non branded
Speaker 1: is ninety four percent of it, so that's good. Ninety
Speaker 1: four percent of the people going to the website haven't
Speaker 1: heard of them before, that's good, and about six percent
Speaker 1: is branded. So talking to the mic there show, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it looks I mean, their their peak for traffic
Speaker 1: was back in December of twenty four and they've slowly
Speaker 1: gone down since then. But it looks like they started recovering.
Speaker 5: And what about the other one, Stone Creek Limited. Why
Speaker 5: would they have two separate websites. That's weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean, it looks like it's kind of similar.
Speaker 5: It is similar, It has the same it has the
Speaker 5: same menu structure, but a different kind of I don't know,
Speaker 5: overall frame.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that one was doing well in August of
Speaker 1: twenty four and it's pretty much nonexistent now, so I
Speaker 1: don't okay, that one's gone down.
Speaker 5: Maybe they switched from that over to Stone Creek Outfitters
Speaker 5: dot com dot us.
Speaker 1: And if they did, they should do what's called a
Speaker 1: three one redirect to permanently redirect that from.
Speaker 5: If you don't redirect from an old site to a
Speaker 5: new one, it could really penalize you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could run into You know, Google doesn't know
Speaker 1: which one to rank if it's a lot of the
Speaker 1: same content, so it could it could actually drop the
Speaker 1: rankings for both of them.
Speaker 5: All right, thank you, give us a call three oh three,
Speaker 5: seven to one three talk or three oh three Martino
Speaker 5: three oh three, six two seven eight four sixty six.

Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 16: My niece bought a twenty thirteen jeep Wrangler JK at
Speaker 16: AutoNation Subaru the eighth of March, and about a month
Speaker 16: and a half later here in April, she got a
Speaker 16: check engine length day came on when she went around
Speaker 16: the corn to drop her daughter off at the bus stop.
Speaker 5: Hold on, hold on, when does she actually buy it?
Speaker 16: She bought it on three on March eighth, she bought this.
Speaker 5: And how many miles are on it?
Speaker 16: She had one hundred and seven thousand, two hundred and
Speaker 16: seventy three.
Speaker 5: About one hundred and about one hundred and seven thousand miles.
Speaker 5: Then mm hm, And what I want to know is
Speaker 5: what happened? And how long after you said it was?
Speaker 5: So she bought it in March, and how long after
Speaker 5: was the first problem?
Speaker 16: Okay, let me say, let me look at the calendar,
Speaker 16: because we're at the twenty second so I believe it
Speaker 16: was the week of the seventh of April. I think
Speaker 16: it was the eleventh, because we're going on almost.
Speaker 5: Two so about about almost a month. It was right
Speaker 5: out a month later, well, a.
Speaker 16: Little after a month, just a little after a month, okay,
Speaker 16: it's a two hundred and mile warranty or a month so,
Speaker 16: and she was pat the two point fifty in the month.
Speaker 5: So after a month, what happened?
Speaker 16: She took her daughter check.
Speaker 10: It out, which is just right.
Speaker 16: Came on. She immediately got out, checked it. The jeep
Speaker 16: was low on oil, but it had oil in it,
Speaker 16: so she drove it back home and she went in
Speaker 16: another vehicle, got some oil, put the oil in it,
Speaker 16: and it didn't clear the coat. She does have a
Speaker 16: code reader to put into the ECM, and it came
Speaker 16: up pdo six'. SIX i think IT'S. DD i do
Speaker 16: have it on my.
Speaker 5: Phone well that means nothing to. Me did she ever
Speaker 5: get it checked out by a? Mechanic that's what really.
Speaker 16: Matters, yes she brought it up to the house AND
Speaker 16: i worked for a local municipality where we do all
Speaker 16: of the fleet fire everything, please so they looked at.
Speaker 16: It the only thing we found with the jeep was
Speaker 16: the plug for hauleing a trailer was not. Attached it
Speaker 16: was hanging. Loose but other than, that we had it
Speaker 16: up on the. Lift everything was. Fine the oil looked,
Speaker 16: good it was nice and. Clean the transmission we didn't
Speaker 16: see anything other than a little bit of surface rust
Speaker 16: and a couple of spots underneath and that. Plug that
Speaker 16: was the only thing that was.
Speaker 5: Found so now What.
Speaker 16: So it is that she does have a warranty on,
Speaker 16: it but they're denying.
Speaker 5: It, WELL i don't even know what the problem. Is
Speaker 5: you haven't even told me what the problem. Is all
Speaker 5: you said was there's a check engine. Light what's the.
Speaker 16: Problem, well the problem is the solenoid on the oil pump,
Speaker 16: failed which is a common problem on the three six
Speaker 16: and THE jkjp.
Speaker 5: Wranglers, now now the oil. Solenoid who told you the
Speaker 5: oil solenoid, Failed.
Speaker 16: Well that's the code that comes, up and the dealer
Speaker 16: also confirmed.
Speaker 5: It but did they confirm the solenoid is, bad, yes
Speaker 5: and how much will it cost to?
Speaker 1: Replace they're not giving that.
Speaker 16: Impel they're just going back and forth with the warranty,
Speaker 16: company and we can't.
Speaker 5: See, No i'm not talking about the warranty. Company i'm
Speaker 5: not talking about the warranty, company And i'm talking about
Speaker 5: how much would it cost if you replaced the oil.
Speaker 5: Solenoid certainly the dealer can tell you that the.
Speaker 16: Dealer hasn't told her anything.
Speaker 5: Nothing, okay then you need to you know, What i'll get.
Speaker 5: IT i can get a price for you in ten.
Speaker 5: MINUTES i just can't believe you don't even know what
Speaker 5: the price. Is so you're screwing around with the warranty.
Speaker 5: Company what kind of warranty is? THIS i thought you
Speaker 5: said it was only two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 16: Miles that's just from the. Dealer she has a take,
Speaker 16: okay but what other?
Speaker 5: Warranty what other warranty does she?
Speaker 16: Have she has another warranty THROUGH i believe it's Then
Speaker 16: gagis or it's called v R, ITAs and it covers
Speaker 16: everything power. Train we're in a pri call all components

Speaker 16: part of the.

Speaker 5: Claim?
Speaker 16: Yes they said she ran it out of. Oil and it's, like, no,
Speaker 16: sorry she didn't run the car out of O.
Speaker 13: Oh so there's so there's a bigger problem than the.

Speaker 13: allegedly low and.
Speaker 5: Oil, dan what is wrong the?
Speaker 3: Engine?
Speaker 5: Okay do you have any idea what condition the engine is.

Speaker 5: going in circles. HERE i need to find out what
Speaker 5: it's going to cost to, fix because this whole thing

Speaker 16: That, yeah she told them that it was. Low it
Speaker 16: read on the, stick but it needed some. Oil it
Speaker 16: was not blow where it was crucial and she needed
Speaker 16: to tow. It she's mechanically in, kind she's not. Stupid
Speaker 16: she wouldn't have driven.
Speaker 3: It so.
Speaker 5: Okay but What i'm saying is the warranty is denying
Speaker 5: the claim because she admitted it ran low on. Oil, yes,
Speaker 5: okay but running low on, oil running on low on,
Speaker 5: oil it depends on how. LOW i. Mean it wasn't
Speaker 5: starved of, oil, Right.

Speaker 5: James has a, question then we'll go to that one.
Speaker 5: Website somebody asked About, james what website were you thinking?
Speaker 1: About psausa dot?
Speaker 5: Com and that's what we looked, At so let's Ask.
Speaker 5: Sean you said it was.
Speaker 1: Interesting, Yeah so this site has a ton of. Opportunity
Speaker 1: it's twenty eight years, old which is huge in the
Speaker 1: eyes Of.
Speaker 5: Google it's a twenty eight year old.
Speaker 1: Site the domain name has been registered for twenty eight,
Speaker 1: years which is. Great the site itself is not good.
Speaker 1: Though the product pages are not. Indexible go so, really
Speaker 1: it's just a couple pages that are actually showing up In.
Speaker 1: Google so if this site was to get rebuilt in
Speaker 1: a search engine friendly way and those products but into
Speaker 1: a real product catalog and, optimize the site could.
Speaker 5: Explode why would it explode because of its.
Speaker 1: Age it's, age it's, history it's you, Know google has
Speaker 1: authoritativeness as a. Signal this is the site has that
Speaker 1: just because of how long it's been. Around so it
Speaker 1: does have the potential to do really. Well, now it
Speaker 1: does get a good amount of a decent amount of
Speaker 1: traffic twelve a.
Speaker 5: Month, okay that's pretty, good.
Speaker 1: But it has the potential to do significantly.
Speaker 5: More so this has great potential because of the age
Speaker 5: of the R, l but the site is not fully.
Speaker 5: Indexible do you do you understand what that? Means do
Speaker 5: you guys do? That if he needed a rebuild or
Speaker 5: redesign for or, that can you guys do?
Speaker 4: That?
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah we do that all the. Time.
Speaker 5: Yeah so it's simpler dot com with A y again
Speaker 5: And i'm serious about THIS S Y M P L E. R,
Speaker 5: Yes and by the, way simpler dot. Com but by the,
Speaker 5: way you, Know sean came here as a friend and
Speaker 5: we're you, know obviously you wouldn't mind doing business with,
Speaker 5: you but you know our purpose here is to give you,
Speaker 5: complimentary complimentary advice on your. Sites. Here, Okay, phil you
Speaker 5: have a question on home listings for. Sale what's going?
Speaker 15: On?
Speaker 21: Phil, well you know there's so many scams these, days
Speaker 21: people selling houses that they don't really. Own is a
Speaker 21: listing on M mls guarantee that the.
Speaker 17: House offer is legit for?
Speaker 5: Sale, yeah it is well ON, mls hold on what
Speaker 5: they put you.
Speaker 1: Through ON.
Speaker 5: Mls you can be assured that the owner or a
Speaker 5: qualified broker listed. It, however that doesn't mean that people
Speaker 5: USING mls calling themselves a selling. Broker you, see anyone
Speaker 5: can sell a house ON. Mls so the fact that
Speaker 5: it's listed ON mls is, legit and it's usually a
Speaker 5: legit home BECAUSE mls.
Speaker 1: Has very strict.
Speaker 5: Standards, however If i'm a dishonest real estate person or
Speaker 5: a con, MAN i can use the listing ON mls
Speaker 5: to lure you in and make you believe THAT i
Speaker 5: have authority to sell that, house AND i could take
Speaker 5: earnest money at the door and you'll never see me.
Speaker 5: Again so THE mls isn't the. Problem but anyone can
Speaker 5: sell off of. Mls do you understand?
Speaker 21: That so how do you guarantee that you get a
Speaker 21: real estate agent that's.
Speaker 5: Legit you go to frankdin and the real estate man Dot.

Speaker 5: Url but it's as little as what sean eight nine
Speaker 5: bucks a.
Speaker 1: Year it depends on how you go, through but eight

Speaker 5: Year, brother we're not talked talking about a lot of, Money,
Speaker 5: Okay SO i, suggest, Well i'm going to tell you

Speaker 1: Then you have To now you have.
Speaker 5: To get a website. Designed and here's where most people
Speaker 5: really drop the. Ball AND i, know nonprofit with no,
Speaker 5: money it's, hard but most people drop the ball with
Speaker 5: who they get to develop their. Website they usually get
Speaker 5: a nephew or a cousin or a friend of a.
Speaker 5: Friend for some, reason in the business, world the designing
Speaker 5: of websites has been relegated to non professionals or people
Speaker 5: who call themselves. Designers they take more care and obviously their,
Speaker 5: car their, mechanics you, know their healthcare and all of.
Speaker 5: That but when it comes to designing a, website it's
Speaker 5: really amazing to me how some major businesses will hire
Speaker 5: schlock people or or use friends or neighbors to do.
Speaker 6: Websites your step and you should take as. Much griffin
Speaker 6: kicks ass at. Him he was showing me the stuff he's.
Speaker 6: Designed that dude is.
Speaker 5: Good, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah now you have you have
Speaker 5: companies you can call like the one we have here.
Speaker 5: Simpler they design and do, websites but there are a
Speaker 5: ton of people who design.
Speaker 1: Them OH i didn't, Know.
Speaker 5: Yeah they. Do they do websites from the ground. Up
Speaker 5: their forte is using is using THEIR seo and marketing.
Speaker 5: Capabilities but, yeah they can design websites And, robert you,
Speaker 5: know if if you don't need a lot of, work
Speaker 5: you can get it done relatively and. Expensively start with
Speaker 5: GoDaddy dot com first and get the, name and then
Speaker 5: what you can do is find a company to do
Speaker 5: a very basic website because you're you're not trying to
Speaker 5: get rich off of. It you're just trying to get
Speaker 5: people to utilize your, services which are. Free AND i
Speaker 5: think sites like that tend to grow on their own
Speaker 5: because it's a closed knit. Community so it's a lot
Speaker 5: different than regular big commercial sites when you have a
Speaker 5: closed knit community like. That, understood all, right all, right
Speaker 5: thank you. Go daddy dot com is where you. Start,
Speaker 5: okay we have one question here about a. Website somebody
Speaker 5: wants to know if they have an old website UR,
Speaker 5: l but they want to get a new R. L
Speaker 5: but the old one has credibility because it's been around a.
Speaker 5: While what do they do do they forward the the
Speaker 5: NEW url name to the old? One is that how
Speaker 5: they do it without without sacrificing Eye it's a.
Speaker 1: Little bit of a. Process but you have to find
Speaker 1: all of the old URLs that were indexed By google
Speaker 1: because they have links and things pointed to, them and
Speaker 1: then you have to do what's called a three oh
Speaker 1: one readerc to remap it to the NEW. Rl but
Speaker 1: you will lose a little bit of.
Speaker 5: That but the moral of the story is the older
Speaker 5: the u R, l the more credibility it.
Speaker 1: Has typically not all the. Time sometimes URLs are used
Speaker 1: for spam and other, reasons but if it's a legitimate,
Speaker 1: business typically they're.
Speaker 5: Yeah now we asked you to look at referrals dot. Com,
Speaker 5: okay well B b straight and honest with a slap
Speaker 5: us in the.
Speaker 1: Face it's it's pretty. GOOD i, Mean i'm showing about
Speaker 1: forty five thousand ish organic visits good for a. Month,
Speaker 1: excellent and, uh there's you know some things you could
Speaker 1: do online which will tell us tell us some of
Speaker 1: the things that are just kind of restructuring the. TITLES
Speaker 1: i know the software that it's you, know, using SO
Speaker 1: i could help you kind of, tweak tweak some things

Speaker 19: It is my. House. Okay we purchased The, yeah we
Speaker 19: purchased the home in twenty twenty, two and the owner
Speaker 19: told us that it had some water issues of water
Speaker 19: intrusion that come into the. Home AND i specifically asked
Speaker 19: him before we bought the, house have you had Enough
Speaker 19: colorado monsoon rains to make sure that the, water you,
Speaker 19: know is not still coming into the, house and he
Speaker 19: assured me that it. Had well Of july of that same,
Speaker 19: year of twenty twenty, two we've got water into the home.
Speaker 19: Again and SO i have.
Speaker 5: Sued, Him, wait how long after how long after you moved?
Speaker 1: In did you get the water.
Speaker 15: In?
Speaker 19: July we moved In april and In.
Speaker 8: July oh my.
Speaker 5: Gosh, okay so, okay so, no, NO i mean you're
Speaker 5: saying that he you, see this is an odd one
Speaker 5: because you're not going to get the guy a non.
Speaker 5: Disclosure he disclosed he had of water, problem but he fixed,
Speaker 5: it and to his, knowledge if he fixed, it he
Speaker 5: wasn't lying to. You if he truly believed he fixed,
Speaker 5: it it would have been worse for him if he
Speaker 5: denied it all together and you could prove that it was.
Speaker 5: There SO i think he kind of insulated. HIMSELF i,
Speaker 5: mean are you going to try to get him to
Speaker 5: pay for? It is that your entire?
Speaker 1: Goal that?
Speaker 19: Is that is my is my?
Speaker 3: Goal?
Speaker 19: Yes THAT i.
Speaker 5: DON'T i don't think YOU'RE i don't think you're going to.
Speaker 5: Succeed in my, OPINION i don't think you're going to.
Speaker 5: Succeed did any one tell you had a good?
Speaker 19: Case my lawyer has SAID i have a good. Case, yes,
Speaker 19: Okay so.
Speaker 5: Here what is it going to take to fix the?
Speaker 5: Water but he disclosed it to, you.
Speaker 19: But but it said it was a failure of a
Speaker 19: front streen. System but he replaced the front strain. System
Speaker 19: but that wasn't the real. Problem the problem was that
Speaker 19: the stoop negatively float towards the front.
Speaker 5: Door and how much is it going to cost to?
Speaker 5: Fix how much is it going to cost to fix.
Speaker 19: The driveway to fix the problem was eighty thousand.
Speaker 5: Dollars, OKAY, I, WENDY i want you to do what
Speaker 5: your attorney tells you to, do Because i'm not your,
Speaker 5: attorney BUT i will tell you you're going to, lose, Okay
Speaker 5: And i'm going to tell you why he disclosed the
Speaker 5: problem to you and to his. Knowledge unless you, see
Speaker 5: here's WHERE i believe attorneys air in representing people in disclosure.
Speaker 5: Cases it's not if there was a, problem it's if
Speaker 5: he truly knew there was a problem and truly withheld
Speaker 5: it from, you or misdirected or lied to you or
Speaker 5: covered it. Up he said there was a water intrusion
Speaker 5: problem caused by such and such and he had it.
Speaker 5: Fixed if in his mind he believed, that and experts
Speaker 5: may have led him to believe. That you can't get
Speaker 5: him because he was, wrong unless you can prove he
Speaker 5: intentionally misled you and mister directed you to what he
Speaker 5: had fixed when in reality he knew it was something. Else,
Speaker 5: now are you prepared or is your attorney prepared to
Speaker 5: prove that your attorney said you had a good. Case
Speaker 5: what is your attorney basing that?
Speaker 19: On, well the other thing is THAT i contacted his
Speaker 19: concrete guy that did the, work and he told me
Speaker 19: that he gave him a year warranty on the. Driveway
Speaker 19: and we were told from him AND i have an
Speaker 19: in writing in the contract of the house that there
Speaker 19: was no warranty on the. Driveway so he did buy about.
Speaker 19: That the concrete guy says.
Speaker 5: That hold on a, Second, Wendy, Wendy, wendy how is
Speaker 5: that connected to the. Water so the driveway guy said
Speaker 5: he gave him a one year. Warranty is that? Correct? Yes,
Speaker 5: now how do you know the driveway guys telling the?
Speaker 6: TRUTH i don't even understand what the driveway has to
Speaker 6: do with. It is it the slope of?
Speaker 5: Etherway, So, Wendy, wendy the fact that he lied about
Speaker 5: not having a. Warranty, Okay, wendy, Listen Oh, God i'm
Speaker 5: trying to get you on track. Here if the driveway
Speaker 5: was the cause of the problem and this guy did
Speaker 5: not know, it he wouldn't call for a warranty.
Speaker 1: Issue to begin.
Speaker 9: With and, again that warranty.
Speaker 5: Issue that he didn't tell you, about how did that
Speaker 5: contribute to the, Problem because most warranties don't go to
Speaker 5: the new owner, anyway did this concrete guy tell you
Speaker 5: that the warranty would have been transferable to.
Speaker 12: You, no but when we bought the, house then there
Speaker 12: was still time between when the driveway was fixed In,
Speaker 12: june before We june of twenty twenty, one and before
Speaker 12: we got water in the.
Speaker 19: House it was just less than a month Of, wendy
Speaker 19: miss you you're.
Speaker 5: Claiming you're claiming seller could have had the driveway fixed
Speaker 5: under warranty and did. Not how did what if the seller?
Speaker 5: Didn't if in, fact this is bolstering the seller's argument
Speaker 5: because the seller could, say wait a, minute IF i
Speaker 5: knew it was the, DRIVEWAY i would have had it
Speaker 5: done because it was under. WARRANTY i didn't think it
Speaker 5: was the. Driveway that's WHY i had the other thing. Fixed,
Speaker 5: wendy do you understand the level of proof that you
Speaker 5: need to prove that this guy purposely misled you and withheld.
Speaker 5: Information you're saying because he didn't tell you about a
Speaker 5: warrant on the driveway that makes your. Case is your
Speaker 5: attorney telling you this or ARE u surmizing it on your?
Speaker 5: Own because if your attorney is telling leading you down this,
Speaker 5: road did the attorney also tell you that it would
Speaker 5: take a minimum of fifty thousand dollars to bring the.
Speaker 5: Lawsuit did he tell you that the average non disclosure
Speaker 5: case in real estate is going to be around fifty?
Speaker 5: Grand did he tell you?
Speaker 19: That he didn't quite say fifty, Thousand he said about thirty.
Speaker 5: Thousand, oh, okay if you believe you can get it
Speaker 5: done for thirty that's a, deal then not. Fifty so
Speaker 5: do you think you're going to get attorney's? Fees did
Speaker 5: he tell you you?
Speaker 1: Would? Well and is her money to actually go?
Speaker 9: After, no What i'm saying is she's not going to
Speaker 9: get attorney's.
Speaker 5: Fees she's not going to get attorneys.
Speaker 6: FEES i don't care if they grant her attorney's fees
Speaker 6: in an extra million.
Speaker 1: Bucks how much money does a guy?
Speaker 5: Have that's another. Thing does the guy have enough?
Speaker 19: Money it's the issue that is the. Issue because we
Speaker 19: did A, eoa and he owns another. Home he purchased
Speaker 19: another home while he still had this, home while he
Speaker 19: was still supposedly living in this. Home he purchased another
Speaker 19: home In Marksburg.
Speaker 5: College and, wait and you make it sound like that's
Speaker 5: some gastly. Deed the fact that he was supposedly living
Speaker 5: in that, Home, wendy you're building a house of cards.
Speaker 1: Here you don't have.
Speaker 5: A oh that's one of your that's one of your
Speaker 5: building blocks against the guy that he had another.
Speaker 12: Home, no but he.
Speaker 19: Didn't live, Here so how would he know that there
Speaker 19: was a water issue going? On if you didn't live.
Speaker 5: Here, exactly how would he? Know you're making his case
Speaker 5: he wasn't even living, there so he can SAY i
Speaker 5: thought it was. Fixed there's no requirement that somebody live
Speaker 5: in a house they're.
Speaker 9: Selling there is no. Requirement let me put it to.
Speaker 5: You this, Way, wendy AND i WISH i was talking
Speaker 5: to your more on. Attorney there is no requirement that
Speaker 5: an owner know about every problem in their. Home there
Speaker 5: is no, requirement zero requirement that you know there's a.
Speaker 5: Problem if you do know there's a, problem you have
Speaker 5: an obligation to disclose it on the real estate disclosure. Form,
Speaker 5: however you are not required to state a problem you're
Speaker 5: not sure if you don't know. Exists if you think
Speaker 5: a problem was, fixed and you tell SOMEONE i had
Speaker 5: a problem AND i got it, fixed and if you believe,
Speaker 5: that then then so be. It and the fact that
Speaker 5: he didn't live there bolsters it even. More you're making
Speaker 5: a case for him with everything you. Say he had another,
Speaker 5: home he wasn't staying. There how could he possibly know
Speaker 5: he still had a. Problem he had some kind of
Speaker 5: one year warranty on the. Driveway if he knew he
Speaker 5: had a, problem why wouldn't.
Speaker 8: He use the?
Speaker 5: Warranty the driveway guy, SAID i would have come and fixed.
Speaker 5: It so you're building the guy's, case you're not building.
Speaker 5: Yours convinced me that this guy purposely misled you when
Speaker 5: he could have had the driveway fixed free of.
Speaker 1: Charge, well the.
Speaker 19: Fact that this water problem happened the former owner was
Speaker 19: this the exact same problem. Happened so this problem has
Speaker 19: been going on for, years years and years and, Years,
Speaker 19: okay and it happened in the excess sent. Place he
Speaker 19: came to my.
Speaker 5: House, well let me ask you. Something did you have
Speaker 5: your home? Inspected, Did, wendy did you have your home?
Speaker 5: Inspected what did the home inspector? Say what did the
Speaker 5: home spect say before you bought?
Speaker 12: It they did.
Speaker 19: Not they did not find any moisture in the. Home
Speaker 19: they didn't find any moisture in the. Cross they they
Speaker 19: didn't find any moisture because it was it was.
Speaker 5: Dry did they find that the did they find that
Speaker 5: their driveway was negatively sloped to the.
Speaker 19: House they did not look at. That that was not.
Speaker 5: Evaluated mine is WHEN i had a home, inspector they
Speaker 5: looked at all of. That in, fact in one of my,
Speaker 5: homes they recommended that we have a landscaper come in
Speaker 5: and tamp the soil around the foundation and provide a
Speaker 5: positive slope away from the. Foundation, wendy, LISTEN i know
Speaker 5: that you're upset because you think you have to spend eighty.
Speaker 5: Thousand by the, way that's way over. Exaggerated, OKAY i
Speaker 5: don't for eighty thousand dollars you can put a new
Speaker 5: foundation on a. House SO i don't know who's giving
Speaker 5: you maybe a little more than. Eighty but what are
Speaker 5: you having done for eighty thousand dollars to correct this?
Speaker 5: Problem tell me what you would have?
Speaker 19: Done, well more concrete had to be poured on the
Speaker 19: other side of the house because we were getting water
Speaker 19: into the cross space and it was coming in through
Speaker 19: that side of the, foundation running down the.
Speaker 12: Foundation what's on that?
Speaker 5: Side what's that side of the foundation? Now what's there
Speaker 5: now where the water is coming in on the other,
Speaker 5: side what's there now.
Speaker 19: Concrete?
Speaker 1: Steps concrete?
Speaker 5: Steps can you have to put a new concrete.
Speaker 19: And, well it Wasn't there wasn't concrete stuff.
Speaker 12: There it.
Speaker 19: Was it was just.
Speaker 5: Ground but wait a, minute SO i Had WHAT i
Speaker 5: don't understand is that side where you're having water. Infiltration
Speaker 5: what do you have to do to that side of
Speaker 5: the house other than add soil and add a positive
Speaker 5: flow away from the. Foundation why do you have to
Speaker 5: add concrete.
Speaker 12: Just to be able to so that?
Speaker 19: There because there was soil there before and it was
Speaker 19: just it was two moist that never kept the water.
Speaker 19: Away it just pulled. There so we made it.
Speaker 5: Concrete but you don't need To you don't need to
Speaker 5: make it, concrete is What i'm. Saying it could have
Speaker 5: been a Gravel it could have been a gravel slope
Speaker 5: away from the. House it could have been any number
Speaker 5: of things to help with. That it didn't have to be. Concrete,
Speaker 5: WENDY i want you to check with another, attorney And
Speaker 5: i'll tell you who you check. With Scott sullen S
Speaker 5: U L L E ed the premier attorney when it
Speaker 5: comes to real estate disclosures and construction. Defects Wendy, man
Speaker 5: you're going to be so disappointed when you sue and
Speaker 5: you spend thirty to forty, Thousand it'll never be thirty,
Speaker 5: thousand never. Depositions getting to the court house steps is
Speaker 5: twenty FIVE i don't care what any attorney tells. You
Speaker 5: that's exactly what it. Is i've been through fourteen. Lawsuits
Speaker 5: there is not one lawsuit in the world where you
Speaker 5: get to the courthouse steps for under twenty five. Grand
Speaker 5: does that mean the trial's going to be five grand
Speaker 5: for a total of Thirty. No what this attorney might
Speaker 5: think is that he's going to get the other guy to.
Speaker 5: Settle But i'm telling you that you are going down a,
Speaker 5: very very dangerous path where you're going to spend money
Speaker 5: and you may not, win and even if you do,
Speaker 5: it it'll be a hollow victory because you're never going
Speaker 5: to get eighty thousand.
Speaker 1: Dollars.
Speaker 5: Never, Now i'm telling you this not BECAUSE i don't like.
Speaker 5: You i'm trying to focus, you and this is all
Speaker 5: just my. Opinion And i'm basing my opinion on fifty
Speaker 5: years of taking complaints on the, radio and many of
Speaker 5: them disclosure. Issues And i'm going back through my memory
Speaker 5: banks and hardly any of them were ever, successful ever ever.
Speaker 5: Successful so it's one of the most difficult lawsuits to,
Speaker 5: win other than malpractice is a non disclosure. Issue so
Speaker 5: this attorney, said would he work on contingency then if
Speaker 5: he thinks you have a great, case or maybe he'll,
Speaker 5: guarantee maybe he'll guarantee that he'll sue for attorney's fees
Speaker 5: and if he doesn't get, him he doesn't get. Paid

Speaker 1: example it you know it goes to. Subdmain but what
Speaker 1: it should say instead of no co style, events it
Speaker 1: should say like northern or events In Northern colorado or

Speaker 1: And aurora And parker and things like. That, uh missing
Speaker 1: a lot of. Content there's a lot of opportunity to
Speaker 1: add more, content like the basement finishing. Pages as basement,
Speaker 1: finishing it should say basement finishing in ye city and

Speaker 5: page and somebody, said you have no right to link to,
Speaker 5: Me AND i, said you, understand this is helping. YOU
Speaker 5: i did an article about what they, do or about, this,
Speaker 5: no about watch out for, this this and, this and
Speaker 5: then gave a good example by linking to that. Page

Speaker 1: Are, YEAH i, mean and you can't really control who
Speaker 1: links to, you, Right, no you. Can't it's, yeah that's.

Speaker 1: know they called it google, Bombing so you could you
Speaker 1: could build a network of links with that anchor and, say,
Speaker 1: hey Go google like the worst president in the world
Speaker 1: and The White house comes, up you, know something like.
Speaker 1: That So google's got a little bit better at discounting those. Links,
Speaker 1: however you, know there's still a way to do, it for.
Speaker 1: Sure but you can do what's called a disavow on
Speaker 1: the backside of your. Website so if you control the.
Speaker 1: Website you can, say, hey this website's linking to, me
Speaker 1: BUT i don't want it to count for me or against,
Speaker 1: me and include it in that.
Speaker 5: File but it doesn't have to be for the public to.

Speaker 5: Saying like if you had like somebody, had if somebody,
Speaker 5: SAYS i know this guy is a criminal or criminal activity,
Speaker 5: here and then they link to your, WEBSITE i, mean
