A few days ago we went live with a new video in the recently announced brand new Local SEO Series.

In this latest addition, Blueprint member (and Local SEO guru) Lucian Florian takes you through some of his best tips to help you rank better in Google Maps & the Map Pack.

Here's the direct link: https://seoblueprint.com/win-google-maps/

The thing I love more than anything about Lucian's teaching is that he's focused on things that have actually worked for him and his clients, rather than just theory.

We have a new video in the series coming very shortly, which I can't wait to share!

As many of you know, pretty much the only thing I (Glen) don't teach inside SEO Blueprint is Local SEO.

The reason for that is simple: I don't do local SEO for myself or for clients, and I'm not very knowledgable on the subject (it's really something you should be focused on, as there are just so many facets to it).

If we want SEO Blueprint to be the best cutting-edge SEO training online, it's imperative that I have someone else teach this section of the course. We've had some great teachers in our Local SEO module so far who I'm always grateful for meeting, and now I'm happy to introduce one more.

The next video will be coming shortly!

We've just went live with our first ever Superpixels-focused audit.

In non Glen-made-up-this-word terms, that means we're looking at a site from every other angle than straight up technical SEO.

It's a SaaS brand that has raised $17M USD to date, and we've reviewed it with permission, here: https://seoblueprint.com/brand-has-raised-17m/

Now of course, we haven't forgotten that this is an SEO-focused course. The word 'SEO' is in our name, after all. 

That said, a huge part of Superpixels is about taking things to the next level once you've already taken care of things like Technical SEO (at least as much as you can) and you want to make your life easier when it comes to link building and converting more customers.

I genuinely hadn't looked at this site for close to a year before reviewing it, but definitely found a few things I think should be improved.

I really hope you like this one!

Over the last few months we've been working on a new notification system to help you see all of our new SEO Blueprint 2 updates.

This is also coming with a new site redesign (mostly non-logged-in pages) and most importantly, lots of new cutting-edge training material that we can't wait to share. 

The new notification system allows us to make smaller updates and display them in an attractive way (like adding examples to our Superpixels sections)

If you don't know, Superpixels is a big part of SEO Blueprint 2 (launched at the end of 2021) and you can find more about it, here: https://seoblueprint.com/superpixels-welcome/

This update is simply to let you know that since the last time we wrote an announcement with this notification software, we've literally added dozens of Superpixels examples. 

The SuperDesign and SuperDesign+ sections (and quite a few tabs in-between) have had the most updates, so if you're ever looking for inspiration, I think you'll love what we've been adding.

I can't wait to unveil all the new changes!

Now that everyone has had a bit more time to start going through SEO Blueprint 2 (currently only available to people who bought SEO Blueprint version 1), we thought our Dashboard page deserved a bit of a refresh.

The design is quite a radical change, but we're confident it will help you find our new content a lot more easily.

Here's a sneak peek:

Content that we added to the Super 100 and Super Content modules have been put in their respective Blueprints, rather than being kept as part of Superpixels.

In other words, we added quite a bit more content than this, but now it can be found in its proper home.

You should get redirected to the Dashboard page as soon as you login but if not, here's another link: https://seoblueprint.com/dashboard/

Thank you for all of the incredible feedback on SEO Blueprint 2 so far. There's lots more on the way!

Last week we soft launched SEO Blueprint 2 in our Facebook group and the feedback has been incredible.

Here's a sample of the comments (you may need to click 'display images' in your email client):

Darren's "This is the best thing I read online in 2 years" truly made my day.

I also included Hannes' "Is this still focusing on SEO?" question because this is such a radical change to what we've shared in the past.

Because of this, I think I should reiterate what I said to Gabor's great comment (among 75 on our announcement post).

In essence, after doing 1,500+ video audits, we keep finding the same SEO issues over and over again. Things that should definitely be fixed, but 99% of those fixes are already inside the course.

While this audit isn't too different from other audits we have inside SEO Blueprint, I should mention that it's quite...blunt.

I cover quite a few issues on the website, but I don't go into detail on each specific one like I normally would.

Why? Well, we have so many audits where I've pointed out similar issues that I don't want to bore you.

Instead, I've tried to focus more on the site as a whole - giving attention to the breadth of the website, rather than its depth.

Here's the link: https://seoblueprint.com/cannabis-publisher/

Still, I am honored to have been able to look at the site and if anything else, it's testament to our course that all of the problems found have individual videos covering them in a lot of depth.

There's also a special announcement around the 15 minute mark if you haven't been following the comments inside the course, that I can't wait to share with you!

We've just went live with a new website audit for 2021: This time looking at the personal travel site of SEO Blueprint member, Jeremy.

Jeremy clearly knows what he's doing when it comes to SEO and building sites - and the site is in a niche that's clearly personal to him - but I (Glen) still felt like I had some good suggestions to offer.

You can view the audit here: https://seoblueprint.com/travel-site-with-passionate/

Jeremy has built a great brand and has some incredible social proof, but some areas of the website could do with a little "polish" to help him make the most of the traffic he's getting.

Thanks for the opportunity to look at the site, Jeremy, and we wish you the best of luck with it going forward!

On the 19th of January we announced a brand new series where we would be diagnosing issues with our own website, Detailed.com, and fixing them along the way.

Today I'm happy to be sharing the second episode (the first can be found here), where I essentially "click around" and find everything I'm not happy with.

While this sounds random, it's a process we always implement for clients and is something we've used to find even non-SEO related issues they never new existed (but were very grateful to learn about).

An honest note to save your time: You're not likely to learn much regarding improving your own websites in this video. Rather, see this is as a video to see what I'm happy to critique about myself. 

Here's the link: https://seoblueprint.com/diagnosing-finding-issues/

If you watch it all the way through, you'll also learn about a couple of tools on the Detailed website there's a good chance you didn't know existed.

P.S. Later today we're opening up SEO Blueprint for the first time in 9 months. If you know anyone who might benefit from the course, we would love it you passed it along (zero pressure, of course).

Today I'm very excited to be sharing the first version of our SERP Scraper tool, OpenSearch, which was designed to replace URL Profiler which we feature in the course.

URL Profiler's tool no longer works, so we built our own, exclusively for members.

Here's a preview of how it looks (you may need to click 'display images' if you're viewing this in an email client):

We initially released this in our Facebook Group last week as a Mac only offering, but I'm happy to tell you the Windows version is now live.

Please note that this software is in beta (it's the first version) so we will look to improve it.

You can get the download links, and view our terms of use, here.

The 'terms of use' is a bit boring, we know, but we do have to point out that scraping search results is against Google's Terms of Service.

To help protect you, we purposefully limit how many keywords you can scrape search results for to 25 per term. We also have a 'random' timing option in place as well.

Wondering what you would do with a tool like this? You can learn more about what we previously taught over here, but you'll find many possible use cases in our entire on-site SEO blueprint.

We really hope you get value from this.
