I spy on the competition and check via an unknown keyword research tool that kills 2 birds with 1 stone, if it’s good enough for top Universities then I’ll go with it.

I know how to rank pages very well even broad based "two words" because I deliver to Google upon indexing the 👉🏽full picture👈🏽 whereas most others and maybe you only delivers a partial image.

My ranking takes approx 3 to 6 months whereas others will take 6 to 12 months or more.

I did an experiment on a page, designed a page, optimised, even did an onpage seo audit even fixed my loading speeds via Pagespeed that passed hitting 100 and only now submitted for indexing.

After a couple of hours, the page was indexed so went looking for the page rank, checked pages 1,2 nothing but it was sitting on Page 3 all within 24 hours.

This is the best bit, I’m not even an SEO, my former business was a million miles away from the murky world of SEO.

I have found the secret-sauce to ranking that people with 20-25 years is still looking for, I don’t think they will ever find it as I have been looking for the same SEO scoring.

I helped a guy who ranked first page ONLY through Google Ads, once he stopped his page just disappeared. I helped him out and within 8-9 weeks he was sitting and flipping on the first page via #1 and #2 and has been for several years now … and I didn’t charge him a penny

No LinkedIn, 
No neil patel,
No brian dean,
No semrush, 
No ahrefs, 
No screamingfrog,
No anybody else

all the better bits of on-page that will drive visitors to your pages are in your head or brain 🧠 waiting for you.

Pre 2015 I was just an average Joe, post 2015 I looked from within and found pure [white hat] magic and some new [black hat] that Google isn’t looking for within their Algorithms.

The ones above won’t divulge the secrets.

LinkedIn is really good for that! Many creators offer a lot of added value. Otherwise, you should follow the companies that are performing well in this area: Semrush, Ahrefs, Ubersuggest (Neil Patel), Screaming frog etc. 
For the final word, I'd say test for yourself to spot trends before they're communicated .

@noproseo The content you write, no matter how engaging it is, will not rank if you choose the wrong keyword for it or you don't share it on LinkedIn or similar social media sites. I wonder how you come up with the right keywords without tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush.
