Back when we first launched SEO Blueprint v1, I created a video about an incredible opportunity I believed everyone had to be personal at a time when so much link building efforts were spammy and automated.

In the video I said I didn't think the opportunity would last long, as people would catch on to how ineffective their efforts were.

Well, I've just went back and updated that video for 2025 to see what has changed (if anything at all) and whether an opportunity still exists.

Here's the link: https://seoblueprint.com/link-building-opportunity/

There are lots more updates on the way (such as for our crawler which was announce yesterday) but I wanted to make sure I gave this a refresh for 2025.

At the end of last year, Apple made an update to MacOS which caused some issues with the Desktop website crawler we had created for all members.

It was never intended to be a replacement for tools which people work on full-time, but there to offer a quick audit of any website when you're in a pinch or if you don't have a huge budget.

Unfortunately as I have no personal skills in creating desktop software, it hasn't been the easiest thing to keep updating.

Luckily, we have a solution, and we've been making incredible progress on our (free) web-based site crawler for all members. 

Here's a little teaser of what it looks like:

Right now it's good for finding key issues on websites just a few thousand pages (at most).

Fortunately there are ways to build this in that it could handle 10,000+ URLs per crawl, but we want to make sure everything makes sense and it's useful before going too far. 

If you have interest in trying it out, please send an email to hey@detailed.com with your account Username and we'll give you access to v1.

Thank you!

Back in May of this year I shared a huge 5,000+ word report on the current state of SEO, as I saw it.

It's something we had never done for SEO Blueprint before because while things are technically always changing, I like to think a lot of the fundamentals remain the same.

Still, 2024 was an interesting year for search, so it felt like something I had to share.

I've now began updating the report for November, with a lot more promising news than we shared in May.

You can view the report in our Goliath Playbook module, here.

Over the last few weeks, Google updated Chrome to version 131, which unfortunately broke our Detailed Site:Search extension.

It's definitely not our most popular tool (~500 weekly users, vs 350,000 weekly users for the Detailed SEO Extension) but it's something we massively rely on when auditing sites.

We also know it's used by a lot of SEO Blueprint members, as many of you reached out to us as soon as Chrome updated to let us know it was no longer working.

We've replied to everyone individually (thanks for reaching out!), but also wanted to post an update here for all members to let you know it's working again.

We're just waiting for Chrome store approval, which should take around 24-48 hours.

You can get the Detailed Site:Search extension here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/detailed-site-search/loblhceoipmbghoakodijfebkbfodkmf?hl=en-US

If you haven't checked out the Superpixels section of SEO Blueprint in a while, you might want to give it a look.

We've quietly been updating a number of modules, with SuperHooks being the latest to get a refresh.

Our primary focus is always going to be on what you can do to get more targeted search engine traffic to your website, but we want to help you convert and build a connection with those people better as well. 

If you haven't yet went through the Digital Goliaths reporting - first introduced with SEO Blueprint 3 - then this might be your sign to check back in.

We've just made some updates to one of our research modules, which you can see here: https://seoblueprint.com/super-footer-links/

Hey everyone 👋

I'm really excited to share that as of today, the next iteration of SEO Blueprint, version 3, is now live.

As some quick history, we first launched SEO Blueprint in the middle of 2019, and went live with version two in 2022.

Now, two years on from the second iteration of our program, we have new insights to share and countless new updates to the training.

You can watch the launch announcement video here: https://seoblueprint.com/welcome-blueprint/

The update comes with a ton of refreshes throughout the program, as well as new modules in the form of a module we call, Playbook.

You can get a link to that here: https://seoblueprint.com/super-playbook-welcome/

Just like we did with SEO Blueprint 2 where we used our Superpixels modules as a base to build upon (new modules have been added, and we've refreshed countless screenshots and links), we have plans to massively build upon the Playbook section as well. 

I really hope you're enjoying the updates. 

There's one particular aspect of on-site SEO that webmasters tend to overlook, and making sure we check this has helped us find a lot of issues with client sites.

Not only that, but a mistake here in recent months cost us thousands of clicks before we become aware of the problem (and rectified it).

This video was already in place on SEO Blueprint, but as part of our continued goal to refresh past videos with new information and insights, it has received a much needed update and doubled in length.

You can find the updated training, here.

As always, we've highlighted certain sections of the video to make it easier for you to find which parts are most relevant and useful for your situation. 

I really hope you find value in this one. 

After months of documenting successful examples, I've just finished making an update to one of our best received link building modules.

I first shared this angle back in 2020, and now in 2024 it's as relevant as ever. 

As this section of the website is open to non-members I can't say too much about it here, but if you are a member, I'll say the word "iPhone" which should give a hint.

You can find the updated training here. 

I really hope you find the examples inspiring, as I'm focused on the approach here (not just for link building opportunities, but content ideas as well) more than ever before. 

If you run a SaaS business, eCommerce store or local service business website, this update is for you.

A lot of what we teach in SEO Blueprint is about how to make your website and content so enticing that it makes it:

• More likely for people to link to you naturally
• More likely people will convert on. your site
• More likely people will seek you out in search results
• More likely people will miss you if you aren't ranking as well as before

While nothing is guaranteed, I think these are some of the best goals to aim for when trying to grow a business that picks up traffic from search engines.

So, if you're running a SaaS business, eCommerce store, local service business or anything where content isn't the main feature of your brand, this update is for you. 

Inside you'll learn two "hidden" aspects of the following screenshot which I think make a huge difference:

I love that the main example from when I shared this a few years back is still in place (and the company are doing well) but I added two brand new examples and updated a lot of the content as well.

I hope you enjoy this one!
