First you need to identify exactly what your customers are searching as the answer. People are going to ask questions, they’re going to search how to, what is, and they’re going to type this into ChatGPT, into Google, into Perplexity, even into YouTube. 2. Then you need to make a piece of content that actually answers it. I recommend YouTube. 3. Then you need to take your video, your audio, your blog and create a blog post about it. This is your pillar piece. You’re going to add more common frequently asked questions people ask about it. You’re going to link back to yourself, the author, and then you can link back to your website. You need to embed your YouTube video and build trust and authority. 4. Then you need to post something similar over on other trusted channels like LinkedIn, X, Reddit, YouTube, Medium, Substack, Quora, Blogger, WordPress, podcasts, Yelp, and GitHub. That’s what social signals are, posting this everywhere to get links back to your pillar piece, which would be your blog and your YouTube video. 5. Last but not least, once your blog is published, you need to go to Google Search Console, go to URL inspection, paste in your new article, and request indexing. Then go to Bing Webmaster Tools and do the same exact thing. Then make sure that link is everywhere and every social media channel has a link back to that pillar piece to build trust.
