🔑 Key Points
  • Backlinks are referrals — quality beats quantity every time.

  • Local SEO wins faster than global: one strong backlink from a venue or supplier can outrank 500 spammy ones.

  • Google rewards clarity — simple sites with clear calls-to-action rank higher (and convert more).

  • AI overviews are here to stay; building trust signals (reviews, backlinks, citations) gets you into them.

  • Your website is your best employee — it should be simple, fast, and focused on conversions, not aesthetics.
