In this episode, Ted and Peter Geisheker discuss:

• The early days of internet marketing before Google: How SEO and search engines worked in the 1990s
• Lessons learned from the Panda and Penguin algorithm updates
• Why simple, “ugly” ads outperform polished ones in law firm marketing
• The shift from Google SEO to YouTube SEO and the future of AI-driven search results
• Common mistakes attorneys make in advertising — and what clients actually respond to

Key Takeaways:

• In the early days of SEO, ranking was as simple as placing the right keywords in a title tag — but long-term success requires adapting as Google evolves.
• When algorithm updates ended the “link farm” era, Peter discovered that following Google’s own Webmaster Guidelines and focusing on internal anchor text links could still drive strong rankings.
• “Ugly ads” — bold text on bright backgrounds and simple language focused on the client’s pain points — consistently outperform professionally designed attorney ads that center on the firm itself.
• Google increasingly favors original, fresh, and research-based content, not recycled AI-generated material; authenticity now wins the rankings game.
• YouTube SEO is an overlooked goldmine: it’s easier to rank there, and video results are less likely to be replaced by AI summaries.
