There’s not too many people would quit or forgo business school or college to immediately start a business.

But today’s guest, Marianna Felsman, did just that decades ago on her way to becoming partner and entrepreneur of BlueAir, a thriving Austin-based Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) services company.

A few years back, I pondered the impact of a newly birthed semantic search strategy pertaining to small businesses with a hyper-local customer base.

Of course, semantic search has transformed into much more since that time, expanding beyond local SEO.

Most website owners and operators often depend upon the great Google to drive both online and offline business in some way, shape, form, or fashion.

And since the birth of SEO, the golden question most folks desire to know in great depth is:

How do I increase my website content’s SEO effectiveness to boost search rankings and results?

There’s nothing like a good ole’ roadtrip to turn your dreams of adventure into a reality.

From spinning content to private blog networks to paying less-than-stellar content writers for sub-par content, there are many methods to attempt to boost search rankings.

But one thing I’ve discovered across two decades and counting online about consistently ranking websites is that their content does the following:
