This morning, I got curious about the competitiveness of a specific keyword in the Google Map (a.k.a. “Local SEO”). The Google map is this strange beast that I am particularly-curious about, because almost 100% of my customers live within a 10-mile bike ride of my house…and I’d like to have more customers so…

The keyword topic I’m curious about is about fixing hacked WordPress sites – something I particularly enjoy doing (seriously!) – What can I say, except I’m good at fixing broken sites, I like fixing broken sites, and I’d like to do more of it.
Anyway, the entire process of creating a site from domain purchase to launch took me about an hour-and-a-half, with the first half hour being domain research. I captured the last hour on a screencast here for your viewing pleasure. It’s not intended to be a “how to”, but it could certainly be used that way. It’s my actual process for building a quick SEO-centric marketing site.
Some notes on how I might improve the website launch process for next time:
- If I had pre-written content, I could have launched 5 or more pages in the same amount of time.
- It’d be worth doing some actual SEO research…I just used gut feeling and curiosity – a solid way to run a business but not a great way to approach SEO.
Here’s the video walkthrough about how I created a new SEO-friendly marketing website in WordPress in about an hour’s time:
Let me know if you have ideas for improvement,

How to Connect a GoDaddy Site to ManageWP
GoDaddy owns ManageWP, and, strangely, they make it very difficult to add GoDaddy-managed WordPress sites to their ManageWP service. Thankfully, there’s a quick workaround: Visit https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?showWorker=1 — This will make the ManageWP “Worker” plugin visible. Copy the connection info from the ManageWP Worker plugin. Add the site per-normal on ManageWP. That’s it! I hope this…
How to check if your current page is the wp-login.php page
I realized this morning that my TMM Maintenance Mode WordPress plugin had a bug that was causing the wp-login.php page to be inaccessible. The solution was to write a simple function that checks whether or not we’re currently on a login page, and then add a call to that function in my code. Here’s the…
WooCommerce Product Image Gallery Not Loading with WP Rocket Active
Today I updated a WooCommerce site, and everything worked fine, except for the images on product pages – they were not displaying at all. After a lot of trial & error, I realized that WP Rocket was to blame. I’m not sure exactly what the issue was (though my hunch is that it had to…
