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

  • Blogging
  • Sitemap Submission
  • Keyword Tools

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.
