Organic is, I would say... Earned. Organic is earned, and it's more of an advanced play, but there's much larger upside to it in terms of beating out the competition. Because paid, you're basically just bidding against your competition to see who can acquire that user versus organic.

When we look at companies' competitors, nine times out of 10, they don't have a single competitor in their space that's doing well with organic because they just don't focus on a lot of the nuances and things that we talked about today. So organic is major upside, but it's a little bit more kind of nuanced versus paid. It's time.

I tell people how to rank organically on Google. I'm like, listen, Google's got to trust you. You got to get links. You got to actually get, like, I'm on Forbes. I'm on Huffington Post. I'm on Inc. I get EDU backlinks. I get .gov. I get links all the time. I've got great content. My metadata is right. My schema data is right. My H1 tags are right. I'm putting out great content with videos.

I'm doing all of it, and it's still, I'm a 63 domain authority. It's pretty good for a home service company. I want to get to 70. I'll outrank all my competition. And I know they can't outrank me fast. No one can come on and say, I'm going to outrank you tomorrow. It's going to take years. And as long as I keep doing my stuff right, I'm going to continue to climb the ladder.

So what you just wrote down for search is almost the exact same thing of looking at organic, is that you have to build trust with the algorithms. You have to prove that you can put content in front of millions of people and hold their attention.

Because the algorithm trusts him implicitly, so they're gonna cede it to that many people. Versus if you're just starting out, or you're one of those people that has bought followers or has found another way to gain that audience without fully understanding how to communicate effectively, the algorithm, the way it works is it's going to seed it.

You're going to post something, it'll seed it to 100 people. It'll measure how effectively you are at stopping the scroll and holding attention. If you're good at it, it'll seed it to another 100, another 100, another 100. However, if that first 100 people, if you don't stop and watch it, it's going to kill it right away.
