Every time I audit a local business I find the same mistakes over and over. Meta title says Home. Change it to your keyword plus city. Took me 30 seconds to fix this for a plastic surgeon and their rankings shot up overnight. No address in the website footer. Google wants to

@jojoldn Guess a bulk of the credit goes to the folks over at @uncommon_studio for taking UA down this lane on creative. Think “be the problem” was the starting point for it all.

I want to congratulate @GaytonMcK for ensuring that South Africa lost the annual hosting of the World Surf League championship event that is been held in Jeffreys Bay for the past 42 years. If you had just given the Jbay municipality the money you promised.

In our unofficial opinion, you should stay home in this cold, but if you do venture outside, you should stay WARM by looking as COOL as the Equipe de France will at the upcoming Winter Games! ❄️🏂⛷️

To the x bots bashing my poem for its format to avoid the relevancy of its content: the verse shape is inspired by Minneapolis itself. Stop griping over the structure of a poem and funnel that critical energy towards the federal agents executing American citizens.

Are they angry, ill disciplined or is there a contest to see how many times they can shoot someone? Why so many shots when one is more than enough? I saw a veteran say if he’d done this in Iraq he’d be court martialled. After the initial shots, more people, more shots. 😢

Worth noting that the @WSJ has joined with the @nytimes and Bellingcat to say that ICE is lying in its description of the shooting of Alex Pretti. The video evidence more and more supports the view that this was an gratuitous execution.
