James: James Schramko here. Welcome back to SuperFastBusiness.com, Episode 723. Today, I’ve brought along a special guest, Gert Mellak, who is an SEO expert. He's from a business called SEOLeverage.com. And in the course of him being a member of SuperFastBusiness, I got to know him and what he does. And I started referring him to a few of my other clients. And they kept coming back to me saying, “Wow, thank you for the referral. Gert was able to really help us out, and we got a big transformation with our website.”

Enlisting the eyes of an outsider

So I went back to Gert and said, “Gert, would you have a look at our website, at SuperFastBusiness.com?” keeping in mind that we used to run an SEO business. So we know the basics, and we used to be really on top of this, but it's been about three years since we sold our SEO business. And we've been busy doing other things - publishing our book, Work Less Make More, running our SilverCircle coaching community, and building out some side projects. So Gert could come in and have a look as outside eyes on our website.

And in this episode, I want to share with you what Gert found when he came to look at our site, and what we've done in the short period since the audit to our site, and importantly, what sort of results we got. So firstly, let's introduce Gert. Hey there Gert, good to speak with you.

Gert: Hey, James, thank you so much for having me. It’s a real pleasure, because I basically discovered your podcast a few years back and discovered what you do and how you help businesses streamline their efforts and and actually make much more working less. So it's a special pleasure to be a guest here today.

James: Well, I've really enjoyed getting to know you. And the most important thing for me is when my community members help each other and they get results for each other. And since we came on board and did that website review, we've gotten even closer, in business partnership with you now and in SilverCircle. I help you grow SEOLeverage.com. And you're seeing some significant growth, which is tremendous, because I want to make sure I repay the favor and get you a great result.

The things that could have been better

But importantly, you know, the proof is in the pudding. And I'd love it if we could just open up the SEO report from where we're up to now. And if you could just start off by giving a little overview - and I'm k...
