SEO shark agencies and con artists rely on myths and legends, don't become a victim

In this section I'll take you through the common myths that surround Cooking School SEO and debunk them including:

  • Blogging
  • Sitemap Submission
  • Keyword Tools
  • Link Building / Content Marketing

Yes, you have probably heard many say things like 'You have to blog', 'You need to have a Facebook page' or be on Twitter. You need to beg other websites for links.

No, none of that. These are SEO techniques which are not relevant to local businesses like cooking schools but people tend to spurt them out when they don't really understand Search Engine Optimization and how it should apply to a Cooking School which serves a particular geographical area.

This might involve ranking you in their top 10 for certain searches 'now and then' and measuring how well people react to you compared to those who are currently ranking.
