Roasting Beginner Directory Builders: Will These Directories Be Profitable?
Recently I asked members of the ShipYourDirectory community if they wanted their directory websites roasted, and three brave first-time builders stepped up. In this video, I walk through each of their projects and do a full SEO audit. I look at what they’re doing well, where things are falling short, and how they can improve both on-page and off-page SEO.
Whether you’re just starting your first directory or looking to sharpen your skills, you’ll probably relate to a lot of what we cover.
If you’d like your own directory featured in a future roast, join the free ShipYourDirectory community. The link’s below.
Let me know in the comments if you want more videos like this and I’ll turn it into a little mini-series.
