Doug Morneau: Well, welcome back, listeners, to another episode of Real Marketing Real Fast. Today, we're going to talk about something that we should, as entrepreneurs, all be paying attention to, and that is SEO for growth, so how to grow your business, taking advantage of all those people that are out there, looking for a solution to their problem. Today, I've got Phil Singleton joining me, and he is the self-described SEO grunt obsessed with tweaking websites for search engine optimization and functional performance. He is a Duct Tape Marketing Certified Consultant, and he holds a BS in Finance from the Fairfield University and an MBA from Thunderbird, the Graduate School of International Management, in Phoenix, Arizona.

Phil is a co-author and award-winning Amazon bestseller for his book, The Small Business Owner's Guide to Local Lead Generation, and the author of another Amazon bestseller, How to Hire a Web Designer: And Not Get Burned By Another Agency. In addition to inbound marketing consulting services to companies across the United States, Phil provides custom SEO-friendly websites, under the brand Kansas City Web Design at kcwebdesign dot com, an online marketing search engine optimization under the brand Kansas City SEO. Phil is an active blogger, and he's active as a guest on other podcasts, as well.

He works with the Duct Tape Marketing and FreshBooks SEO ... SEMrush. Phil's an active blogger, and his content has been featured on Duct Tape Marketing, FreshBooks, SEMrush, Ahrefs, Advanced Web Rankings, Webdesigner Depot, and many local Kansas City Midwest regional print publications and websites. Over the course of his career, Phil has helped dozens of startups and tech companies raise millions of dollars of strategic venture capital and cross-border licensing agreements in Asia-Pacific region, run the globe on retail and online sales divisions for a best-selling line of consumer products, and started a software company in Asia raising over a million dollars in venture capital, drawing it to profitability with over 25 employees, and then selling it three years later.

The latter experience is what got him into SEO and internet marketing. In short, he followed the ROI trail to SEO. Phil is fluent in Mandarin, so we're going to have him do half the podcast in Mandarin.

Phil Singleton: I'm a little rusty.

Doug Morneau: Okay, well, maybe 10%. You've lived and traveled extensively in Asia over the last 10 years based in Taipei, Taiwan, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. He moved back to the United States in 2005 and currently lives in Overland Park, Kansas, with his wife Vivian, and their two sons, Eli and Austin. In 2016, Phil released a new WordPress plugin called WP SEO Structured Data Schema. With this free plugin, it has only been available for a few short months, has been downloaded over 40,000 times. Thousands of internet marketers and web-savvy business owners are using this new plugin as part of their search engine optimization tool.

So with that great, long introduction of this really smart SEO guy, I'd like to welcome Phil to the Real Marketing Real Fast podcast.

Phil Singleton: Yeah, that's like my whole life. I'm so glad to be here.
