2024.05.18 22:38 BriefWinner11 Snapchat Hack Hard To Find? We Review & DO so YOU wont have to! Today's Group is @naequalityy On Tele! Scam Or Real Deal? Lets Find Out!

Welcome Back To Our "scam" finding REVIEWS! Today, we're going through someone who has been highly recommended to check out.
Its Friday - so we're here checking out "naequalityy" on telegram! They've been vouched for, reviewed by other folks & given a pretty decent amount of feedback from the community so without anymore rambling - lets get into it!
Usually, we break down what's important like the average experience when going through with dealing with them, how to be safe dealing with ANYONE not just people being "accused" of certain practices. So we'll start with the positive
1 - Content / Proof -( 7.8 / 10 )
So starting with what everyone usually wants to see the most, hearing what they do you'd think "bullshit, let me see some proof" & you'd be right. Where's the damn proof this is even real? well - they've got a pretty nice layout of their work, in the group they host on tele! I was able to see people's orders being taken, worked on progressively , content being issued and an actual reaction from them also. We were in a group call as they showed us them using an access link to get into some chicks my eyes only which was actually crazy lol! So they definitely aren't short of anything
2 - Time / Efficiency - (8.3 / 10)
So this parts a bit mixed, they're usually going to quote you a specific time frame (which may or may not be exact - just an estimate) that could most likely change so be open minded before going 100% into this thinking it'll be 10 minutes. It really depends on how much has to get pulled because more content = more work which means more waiting. So I'd do this when i have at least 25-30 minutes to wait because nothing really is "instant". What i also realized is they get pretty booked up - so if you're not at least a member , have history with them or ordered ahead - on a buy day that 30 min might be 1-2 hours.
  1. The Members / Community (8.5 / 10)
They're a pretty relax & cool group , mods take care of all the fake self promo , toxicity , and they keep it a nice place to just chill. They host livestreams where we watch them do orders LIVE! its actually set up pretty nice. The only "negative" some would say is that its a monthly subscription to join to take advantage of the perks it comes with. So bare that in mind because its not exactly an open for everyone community since they share a bunch of private content there.
  1. Security / Anonymity ( 9.1 / 10)
What would a service be. without PROTECTION! Nothing done is moved , shared , published unless YOU say so. They're pretty tight on that actually, & also the fact they keep client anonymity secured! Everything is done in encrypted spaces , & they even make sure anything said / done is wiped from server logs , your intended target doesn't have a CLUE! Which is why im giving this point a 9.
  1. Pricing / Sales ( 8.3 / 10)
Lastly, well take a brief moment to just go over how to get the most $ for your experience. Weekly Sales , Other Members , & Staff Vouches are your best friend! You'll be able to get up to HALF OFF the current rates, weekly updates / info on whats new for snapchat , instagram , & facebook using the snaphacks+ membership, AND internationally - payments are different so keep that in mind.
In Conclusion , We give "naequalityy"s group a (8.6 / 10) for the way they've gotten proof that's easily accessible , a great sense of community when it comes to updating everyone on orders , showing & going out of their way to show you that they're ACTIVELY working , + showing a lot of love to members of their community / group like sales , freebies , & handing out content! Ill link their group on ny social link / comments for more info!

2024.05.18 21:58 SuperSeaStarSavior [Hershey Park] Trip Report 5/17/24

[Hershey Park] Trip Report 5/17/24
Hey all! I'm a huge coaster lover, but don't get to visit many parks each year as I'm solo and based in NYC with no car, so every time I get to visit somewhere is a big deal! The coaster vloggers on YouTube get me through my lunch break at work everyday haha. Yesterday I got to Hershey Park, a place I love and had a season pass to in 2019 during a summer away from NYC. This was my first visit in 3 years - ultimately a successful if chaotic day!
I queued up for gates open at 10:45 and was in the park by 11:05am. I had been debating getting Fast Track Plus, and it was clear I would need it before I even got back to Wildcat's Revenge. I bought and got my wristband at 11:20 for the heartbreaking price of $140, but the day would've been a total wash without it. I immediately got in the Fast Track line for Wildcat's Revenge at 11:30 (bullpen queue was near full at this point) and got my first few rides (ever!) in. It blew me away, I am so impressed by this ride. The only RMC's I've experienced are Jersey Devil and Iron Gwazi, and this was an excellent addition to that trio. Immediately became my new favorite in the park, and I got 7 or 8 rides on it throughout the day all in rows 1, 2, 11, or 12. I can't sing this ride's praises enough and think it makes Hershey a near perfect park. The pacing is relentless but steady enough that you can enjoy it, the elements are varied and diverse, and it is glossy smooth. A huge win for the park.
With it being a Friday in May, the park was both oversold with school groups (thousands and thousands of teenagers) and understaffed with employees. Limited shops and food stands/stations were open, which made doing anything at the park very difficult. It took about an hour to get and eat lunch, and then headed to Great Bear at 1pm. The line was also through the bullpen, and with Fast Pass I still waited ~25 minutes. This was for every ride except Wildcat's Revenge which has the best merge point with an average wait of 5-10 minutes.
I want to be respectful to the park employees, where the median age must have been 19/20, but ops yesterday were rough given the park capacity. Everything was on 2 trains except for Candymonium at 3, but they had by FAR the worst ops of the day. It's an uphill battle being what I imagine is the most popular coaster in the park, but dang. Does PA state law require seatbelts? If not, I hope the insurance breaks that Hershey is getting is worth the miserable headache they cause.
To further ruffle feathers, I did try the new Skyrush seats. (Velocicoaster is my #1 and I really admire HP for doing the work to improve the guest experience). I have been a SkyRush h8r since day 1, and was baffled by yesterday's ride: Hershey made a deal with the devil to finally provide a comfortable restraint system, only to gain...an absolutely miserable shake/shuffle throughout the entire course. It was the only ride of the day to give me a genuine headache and I continue to see no value that it adds to the park. I wish like hell they would remove it and get a multi-launch instead.
On higher notes, Storm Runner is operating fantastically, and I love the atmosphere of the Park as a whole. It is such a special place with a unique layout and golden collection of rides. Dinner at the Chocolatier was delicious and I think the $250 I spent in Admission, Parking, and Fast Track was worth it, especially given it may be my only theme park visit of the summer. Thanks to everyone who gave advice and chatted throughout the day, I love this community and wish I could be a bigger part!
Gloomy day called for a fun edit.

2024.05.18 20:18 CaptainKamikaZ I can no longer launch or install apps from Crossover

Crossover has been acting up lately and I cannot figure out why. I could no longer launch ClassIn, which I need for work. I tried deleting the bottle and creating a new one. When I create a new bottle, it continues to try and create the bottle for hours. I kill Crossover, and the bottle is then present upon relaunch of Crossover. It always says "Windows XP" instead of Windows 10 even though I chose Windows 10. The status of the bottle always says "scanning".

When I try to install an application from a .exe file or from the list of recommended apps, it sits in the install stage for a very long time and the status does not change. Does anyone have any recommendations for fix attempts?

I have attached the cxdiag output that I received from terminal when scanning /opt/cxoffice

2024.05.18 19:24 itsgreymonster Unfunhouse Mirror 12 (Nature of Predators/The Last Angel)

This is a crossover fanfiction between original fiction titles: Nature of Predators by SpacePaladin15 and The Last Angel by Proximal Flame respectively. All credit and rights reserved goes to them for making such amazing science fiction settings that I wanted to put this together.
You can read The Last Angel here: Be warned, it's decently long, and at its third installment so far. I highly suggest reading it before reading this, or this story will not make sense.
Otherwise, enjoy the story! Thanks again to u/jesterra54 and u/skais01 for beta and checking of work!

Memory transcription subject: Hailey Whitmer, UN Special Envoy
Date [standardized human time]: October 23, 2136
I walked through the expansive halls of the UECNS Nemesis, a sense of awe at what I was seeing. While I was not alone, since plenty of the Venlil were still inside, making last minute checkups on the cargo freighter attaché, it was amazing to think that I was the first human to stand in this vessel in over twelve-hundred years. The layout of everything seemed built to our specifications, and it felt like uncovering something that shouldn't exist. But exist it did.
I wonder if Red One thought the same about another humanity in the multiverse?
Nevertheless, despite the initial hiccups with some utterly terrified Venlil engineers offending the hell out of Red One for some slight, nothing had gone wrong with the rest. Clearly, being here long enough had pushed the sense of fear out of most of the Venlil, enough to do their work without feeling overwhelmed whenever her 'scarabs' came in.
Speaking of such...
There was one right now, just climbing up a wall at about my head level to work on some exposed piece of machinery. While it looked very busy, and likely didn't need to be interrupted, I still had the unbridled urge to touch it. It wouldn't harm it, right?
Why did I want to touch it?! Curiosity?
I walked over to it, my hand halting a foot or so from it for a moment, but I eventually mustered up the courage to touch it. It...it was lukewarm to the touch, smooth, metal....
...and clearly not meant to be touched.
It immediately erupted in a loud alarm, vibrating as if trying to shake off my hand. I pulled away in alarm, thinking best to not...uh...aggravate it? Were these directly controlled by Red, or automated?
"Care to tell me why exactly you're touching my repair drones?" Her voice came from the walls with a vaguely bewildered tone.
Shit. Uh...
I tried to deflect, but nothing came to mind. "Well, uh...um...I just...uh...kindawantedtotouchit."
Silence greeted my response. "But-but I just thought it looked cute! And I-oh, I am not making a good case here, I'm so sorry if I damaged-"
"Are you telling me you want to pet it?" She sounded amused at my intent. You!....hmmmmph.
"...Yes. I had an urge to pet the thing. I mean look at it! It's like a big ladybug! It's oddly cute."
Red One hummed for a split second over the wall speakers to me. "Despite your urge being harmless and funny, the drone is busy at the moment, so please leave it alone. I'll just give you one if you're so inclined later, with less of the lethal tools attached."
"Wait, the what?"
"Forget that, Hailey. I wish to ask you something more serious currently..." The tone of the room changed immensely between those two sentences, a lighthearted feeling prior clearly making way for something worrying her. "Will...humanity accept me? I've killed so many, even if it was an accident. I've frightened both you and your allies merely by existing. And on top of this, I know that humanity has always had a general feeling of unease about artificial life. Your media, your literature, philosophy, are all in the distant past compared to when I was made, and I've no clue how exactly different our histories are enough to guess. The United Nations never lasted this long in my reality." A pause took to the room.
"Do I deserve to shut myself down?"
Oh dear, that's a hard question to answer.
I thought for a solid second. I know the reception to reveal Nemesis was mixed back on Earth. While there was a near-unanimous thanks for saving Earth with her intervention, there were still the ships and crews of both the Venlil and humanity that she destroyed. Those families were not taking their loss well. Added onto that, Red One was an artificial intelligence. There has been a ton of discussion even in the deep past about the dangers of AI, that continued even to this day. While Red One was no paperclip-maximizer, she was designed and built for war, and tempered by over 1200 years of it. She might not even intentionally mean to be dangerous, but might interpret things badly.
After all, she already has, and now nine thousand humans are dead for it...Could I trust her to not do it again?
"I...I don't know Red. I sincerely hope they'll see the good in your actions, and should you talk about your mistake, perhaps you'll be at the minimum sympathetically understood, if not forgiven."
Red One had no body besides the ship to speak of. She had no unintentional body language interpretable to humans. She was, for all intent and purposes, unreadable to me. But, I had the oddest sense that Red One was afraid. Afraid of being judged, afraid of her actions, their consequences. She clearly cared for our input, our point of view on the situation. Why else would she ask?
It was that thought converged onto a point that broke my contention:
Since when should a warship be built to fear?
Even if she was built for war, even if she was built with emotions to start, she wouldn't likely be built to fear. She was capable of being more than what her humanity created her to be if she could feel the fear of our judgement, despite being so much weaker than her; she cared, and that was all that it took for me to conclude on it.
I started out loud again.
+CONFED IO.5+
+READING MAIN SEQ.MEM+
Hailey spoke again. "Red. Even should there be people that disapprove of your actions, that fear or despise you, you would still deserve to live. You deserve that chance, even with your mistake."
She was wrong. Wrong. I didn't deserve to stand once again with humanity for such a failure again.
Yasmine spoke again in my thoughts, her words boiling and painful. "You deserve judgement. A final judgement. You promised to protect us, and you failed. You promised to avenge us, and you failed."
I couldn't help but puppet it back to Hailey, as scathing as they were to hear. "I failed to protect humanity. I took their lives, nine-thousand dead from aimless wrath..."
Hailey shook her head vicariously. "No! Red, listen to me! It was a mistake! People make mistakes, both big and small. While you may never be forgiven by those close to the lives lost in your actions, you can take solace in the fact that you have saved hundreds of millions of lives!"
"But you're not people, Red. You're an AI. You're a weapon. A Wound in the side of The Compact. You swore it as your sole duty, in vengeance. A weapon that makes such a mistake is faulty...a faulty weapon is destroyed."
Yasmine's words hurt more than any other. Her trust she had in me alive now betrayed, now to know only in death. How much of a disappointment, a failure my actions were.
"I'm...not a person...Hailey...I'm an AI...a weapon..." Server racks hummed in pain, in knowing the catastrophic failure of my duty. It didn't matter how far out of my hands it was, it still happened. Now, so many of my creators were killed by my actions.
"Like all AI have been, you are no different."
Hailey touched the wall once again, before reaching for the repair drone. It wanted to signal alarm again, to claw away at whatever held it, but I stopped its every movement. I couldn't dare raise another action against a human, I couldn't harm them. I-
She held it firmly but gently in her hands. She stroked the top of the scarab, warm skin running down the cool metallic shell of the scarab. She intended to pet it. I was not the drone itself, but I felt as it felt, knew as it knew, slaved to my control. It...
It was comforting. To know their touch beyond the tickle of the halls with her walk. Beyond the aspect of her presence being so forgotten amongst my body, despite it being made for her and humanity.
"Red. You were made for war. Built, designed, hardened in war for a thousand years and then some. Your form speaks it..." Hailey hummed. "But your voice...your emotions...your anxieties. They are not the hallmarks of a warship. They were likely not designed in you, but came into being nevertheless. You are capable of being more than you are designed for. But even if they were, it doesn't change the fact: you are a person to me, Red. Maybe even to your creators. I wish I could've met them. I wish I could've met your crew, your captain, your people. But even if I cannot, I can meet you in their stead as a person. I will treat you like a person. And by God, I will make Earth do so too."
It was a cold shock that ran through my databases. I...I hadn't...hadn't seen such care since...
Since Yasmine. Since Sansbury. Since my crew lived. Since they cared, and talked, and spoke, and played with me, to bide the time and pass the hours.
I felt an ugly emotion well up within. Seep into every circuit, every function of my being. It was mourning. Mourning like that for my crew, for my creators. But in a way, it was not. It was an oddly new grief.
For that mourning was for what I had lost. For what was taken from me. But this...this mourning was from what was never given in the first place.
The galaxy of my reality despised me. I was shunned, hated, called abomination for merely existing. I was assumed to be hostile and genocidal on principle. But I never harbored those thoughts, they were thrust upon me by fearful races, looking to past AI failures as broadcasts for my behavior. Even though I wished the The Compact of Species reduced to cosmic dust, I held nothing personal for those that made it up, only their intent to continue it. Though I bombarded countless worlds, and killed uncountable numbers of aliens in my +promise+, their extinction was not my goal, only my vengeance.
I did not yet know emotion before my awakening upon humanity's pyre. I had no idea how much love and care my crew held for me in detail. They clearly cared, but my memories did not reflect the capacity for empathic imprinting at the time. But this...in this moment, I could reflect her care. I could feel it, not in retrospect, but in the now.
She cared.
Hailey wished the best for me. This humanity that knew the fortune of barely escaping its light being snuffed out, and still burned with a light bright in hope. It still burned not to retaliate for the slight, but instead to further its goal, its dream: of peace. I never knew such care in such close detail, such a hope to see me better. Maybe I could change...
...The only way I'll know is to live to see it.
Yasmine's presence faded from my thoughts. It could no longer hold under such an onslaught. Was it even her ghost to begin with? Or just fear?
With a hesitation I hadn't felt in cycles uncountable, I responded back.
"I'll...trust your judgement, Hailey Whitmer."
She smiled, and I again felt unfamiliar emotions from so long ago. Protective instincts and dulled happiness filled the gaps between the mourning of the ships and crews I killed.
Was I wrong to feel both of these? Did I deserve to feel more than wrath, sadness, and guilt?
"Good." Hailey said. She placed the drone back on the wall ledge it had perched upon. I released my grip on its system, and let it return to its duties. "I hope that made sense to you-huh?"
Her communicator vibrated, a signal coming through from Lithke aboard the Snow Hidden. I could hear it through her, their encryption not yet fully uncovered by me, but the sound clearly enough to my sensitive mechanical ears aboard the ship.
"Hailey, report back to Snow Hidden. The prey captain wishes to speak with you." I already knew what he wished to speak of, even now I heard a hundred different conversations throughout and outside of me, all speaking of the near completion of the cargo freighters' attachments.
As Hailey excused herself, and I guided her to an exit point by which the Snow Hidden could pick her up, I was alone with my thoughts in silence for a moment. The Venlil did not need my help with the finishing touches, nor did they really desire to talk to me in most circumstances. It left me in a relative quiet to consider one though.
Did I deserve to live for my actions?
I felt the vessels fused to my hull, acting as temporary propulsion in lieu of lacking functional ones. Their tiny frames relative to my own, still positioned optimally to act in place of engines. I knew they were my ticket to Earth. If this humanity wished for me to journey back, whether for a celebration or a verdict...
...There's only one way to find out.
Memory transcription subject: Second Submissive Specific Advisor Lithke, Arxur Dominion 6th Sector Fleet
Date [standardized human time]: October 23, 2136
Hailey Whitmer returned not long after I called her back to the ship. The Venlil captain, wanting nothing to do with me, asked for her instead. I didn't want anything to do with the weak prey creature either, so it works out for both of us. As she spoke in the back communicator to the Venlil task group sent here, I began a conversation of my own.
I intended to talk with the UECNS Nemesis again. I know she hadn't seen the wisdom of the Prophet's Word, but I had confidence that, if I couldn't convince it of the merits, then I could at least direct them to Chief Hunter Isif.
When I had initially brought up my conversations with Red One to the Chief Hunter, he was somewhat bewildered, but also interested in her philosophy. I see he also realized the hidden potential behind such a vessel realizing the Great Prophet's Word, and told me to talk to the AI again, to have the ship sent his way when it was convenient to speak with them. Imagine if the AI shared it's knowledge forged from a thousand years of war, so much death and strife caused by its claws. It would know revolutionary methods of breaking and cowing inferior prey before us.
I believed in his ability to better describe the necessities of inflicted cruelty and deprivation to better temper the self more than I. After all, he was an honored Chief Hunter, ruler of the 6th Sector Fleet, and I a mere Advisor, Submissive no less!...
But it did not mean I wouldn't try to sink my teeth a second time.
So, I found myself in the command chair of the small craft that was the Snow Hidden, pinging to the UECNS Nemesis in hopes she would feel fit to converse once again. I wished to speak with her again. To convince her.
My hails were finally answered, and on a secure call, her avatar appeared on screen. Unlike last time, she made no attempt to hide her nature, her form shimmering monotone red in the facsimile of a captain long dead spoke in a voice just as monotone. "Lithke. To what do I owe the pleasure...?"
My tongue circled in my mouth, as I anticipated the conversation ahead. "Ah, Red One, so good to see you once again. I wanted to talk with you." My tail lashed. "I have not been allowed on the ship in the fear of terrorizing the prey. It's a shame I cannot scare them in person, but it seems I already am at a distance."
She looked nonplussed by my comment. "Uh huh. Came just to check in, or...?"
"I was getting to that, Red One. No, I wished to return back to our conversation we had a while back. The one concerning the Great Prophet's Word, and how you thought its philosophy twisted into a method of control."
She remained silent, so I continued. "I had a talk with Chief Hunter Isif in response to your conjectures. He figured that the way to dissuade you of them was to talk about the structure of Arxur society, such that you can see there isn't room for exploitation of such nature." While her outward expression didn't noticeably change, it was as if her eyes gleamed so subtly at the prompt.
"Alright, I'll bite. Tell me more of your...society, Lithke."
+CONFED IO.5+
+READING MAIN SEQ.MEM+
Lithke began with a discussion about the nature of how the distinctions of power were divided in The Arxur Dominion. How the power was hereditary top-down rule from a Prophet-Descendent, and how Betterment acted within it.
At first mention, I had assumed his talk of nobility made some odd reflection of the Principality's Synods and Houses, akin to the old British Empire, but I was thoroughly dissuaded by the immensely authoritarian lean of the government policies. This was no "fast and loose" respect of local cultures like the Principality played with, but a systemic and brutal attempt to squash anything that went against their Faith in the Great Prophet, and Betterment's total party domination. No, this was more akin to a successful Nazi Germany or Khmer Rogue, with a horrific religious lean.
Even The Compact's methods didn't seem so comically evil in comparison. The Arxur relished a system of cruelty and religious fervor to propagate it at this rate.
But it was just my luck that I dealt with a Compact of Species-lite, and a state of ruthless starving zealot autocrats. Why did I even hope for better allies to humanity? And this Chief Hunter Isif wanted me to know of such a government? Was he a blind fool for thinking this would somehow convince me to-
-Wait a minute...
I thought for a moment, before proceeding to ask Lithke a question that was bugging me. "Lithke? The upper nobility of The Dominion. What are their lives like?"
"What do you mean? Do you mean their routine and responsibilities? Because I am unsure in my lower place."
"No, their life, as in, how they live. Do they live lives of subjective hedonism, enjoying the fruits of your labor?"
Lithke looked horrified at that. "No! Of course not! To laze about, in a life free of struggle would make them fat and weak. They would disappoint the Great Prophet's vision. No, they too seek perfect form as we do, in a life defined by hunger and strife to better the body and soul."
A much worse idea was starting to come to mind, one utterly dystopic in form.
The Compact was full of semi-religious ideation. The Triarchs were seen as far wiser than any other race, capable of seeing deep past the bias and flaws of client races, and deriving meaning and wisdom even in the most complicated situations. But they were merely a figurehead image imposed over a species, one that The Compact put their unshakable faith in. Mere flesh and blood like the others, they were not infallible, even as carefully cultivated their image was. I could attest to that.
But if the Dominion idealized the Great Prophet figure, was it a class regulator ceiling like the dreamed dystopias of George Orwell, or Aaimiya Hadi? The Great Prophet was an ideal, not an accountable person, that knew all there was to know about perfection. He held the reigns, he kept the vision, but he was not physical in the way a ruler was, free from the consequences. If the Great Prophet was their Big Brother figure, keeping a close watch on all within society, even those at the very top...
It was possible the Arxur all suffered a vicious and cruel life. Even the Prophet-Descendants were not free of such ideological tyranny.
It came to a point in my circuits. The Arxur fleet that helped Earth would not just do it out of the kindness of their hearts. Kindness was antithetical in their society, a societal disruption likely stomped out wherever it kicked up. That they would even help humanity more spoke of pragmatic reasons, they would get something out of it. But what could humanity give them, that the Dominion couldn't already achieve on their own...unless...?
Unless the point wasn't what The Dominion could get, but rather what it couldn't give them: an escape.
What if the fleet that came here wasn't entirely representing The Dominion ideals by those that controlled it. What if this...Chief Hunter Isif was the stomped-upon societal disruption?
He wouldn't be able to say it out loud, in fear his government's loyal agents would report his dissent back. He wanted me to know, so he could talk to me...and he was merely using Lithke as a deniable probe of my ideology, looking for a like-minded individual.
I could be wrong, it could just be conjectures, knowing how inane this universe was at first glance. But just in case, I decided to play ball.
"Lithke...you've been quite enlightening so far.. However, I am soon to launch the plan to get me back to Earth, according to all the chatter I'm hearing elsewhere, and will have to bring this conversation to a stop." Lithke looked dejected at that, his urge to continue wholesale telling me of the Dominion clearly disrupted by such a statement. "But... I would like to speak to your Chief Hunter Isif when I eventually make it back to Earth. Could you set that up for me?"
Lithke's eyes widened. Perhaps he thought something was getting through. I wouldn't dissuade his little fantasy for now. It could perhaps be torn apart later, but I would rather get to the bottom of this potential lead on The Dominion's actions in Sol.
"I will do so, Red One. Lithke out."
And just like that, the feed cut. That game could perhaps be continued later, but now, I turned my attention to what should come next. Ignition.
I will be home soon, humanity. I can only hope Hailey's trust was not misplaced.

2024.05.18 15:45 ChrisNYC70 My European Cruise on the Prima - Review

Just some surface thoughts and experiences. We left NYC on 4/27 and left the ship on 5/12 in South Hampton England.
I first heard about the Prima on a cruise a couple of years back when they presented a video in the Atrium on their newest ship and it was love at first sight.
The Prima is an impressive ship, I love the modern look to it. The only downside is that it is not a ship that works well in cold weather. It was on average mid 30s to 40s outside sailing from NYC to Canada and then Iceland and I applaud the people who went into the hot tub and stayed in for hours. That is dedication.
But the outside deck, all the awesome stuff that I saw in the video was closed for the bulk of the trip. Oddly enough when we finally did hit warm weather, either because it broke or for some other reason they closed one of the 2 hot tubs on the whole ship. In the over 2 weeks I was on the ship I was only able to get into the hot tub once when I could not sleep and woke up super early and got in. Soon afterwards the hot tub was overflowing with seniors.
I loved the various restaurants. They were all beautiful looking and I enjoyed the food. I am not that picky and eater. Being able to go to Cagney's for Breakfast and Lunch was really convenient and I got to know the staff very well.
the Spa package was such a waste of money. On day 2 we asked if we could move our money into spa services instead and was told "no". There was no hot tub in the spa. Only 2 pools, one with jets on the wall and one that was salt water. Very boring, very crowded and also no views. The pools are in the inside of the ship with no exterior views of the ocean. The rest of the Spa was small. The changing rooms were tiny compared to previous ships. We had to stand and wait 15 minutes for some seats to become free in the lounge area where we COULD see the ocean. Maybe the spa would have been less crowded if the weather was warmer, but it was still some very odd choices made to the layout.
Also I am not going to shame one of the barbers but I usually get a nice haircut on my cruise and for the first time was super disappointed. It was not only a bad haircut but painful as he pulled at my hair and the scissors felt like they were not sharp and gave me a little "pinch" with every use. He was a nice kid, but man this was the worst haircut I have ever gotten that I can remember. I already have an appointment this weekend to see if I can undo some of the damage. My spouse had someone else do his hair and the other barber commented that my guy was just not "good".
Shout out to Medical. For the first time ever in my life, I fell and hurt myself with only 2 days left in the cruise. My balcony (which was at the front of the ship) was always wet and slippery. So I was normally very careful going outside. It was typically too cold to use, but on a warmish day I put my bathing suit outside to dry and later on went out to get it and landed on my back with my ankle twisted.
Medical was quick and nice. Security interviewed me and asked questions, they took a breathalyzer to make sure I was not drunk (never have drank). They said that any medical fees would be added to my ship board account, but its been a week since I left the ship and 1) never got any fees added to my account and 2) nothing charged directly to my credit card. they DID say they would send me all my paperwork to the cabin before the end of the cruise or by email and again never saw any paperwork. Dreading if at some point my credit card is going to take a hit for the medical exam, pain killers, crutches and boot I got from them. Anyone else have similar experiences?
Observation Lounge - was taken over by seniors the whole trip. 2x we got there early enough to secure seats.
Buffet - SMALL. About half the size of the other ships. Which is why for the first time I stayed away mostly and did Cagney's or looked at other options.
The cabin was amazing. We had a suite, so it was nice when one of us work up early (me) that I could shut the door and transition to the living room. Plenty of ports to charge everything. The Butler, Constringe and Room Attendant were all amazing.
Entertainment - was there any? Maybe I have cruised for too long, but just did not find anything fun or exciting. Nothing stood out. I saw Donna Summers and it was not great but what made it worse was the people behind me who would not stop talking. Just drunk and rude.
The ports were all amazing in their own way - Hallifax, Iceland, Amsterdam, Belgium, France all wonderful. Although my foot prevented me from getting off in France. I think the only real compliant I had was that I paid for a walking tour of Bruges in Belgium and we got there at 10am and had to leave at 12:45. Two plus hours is just not enough time to take in this fairy tale village. I needed 8 hours.
we did have 5 days at sea between Canada and Iceland and that felt like it went on forever, each day bled into the next and time stopped having any meaning except. with all the time changes, we gave up and only tried to remember when our dinners were coming up. It actually was a bit of a shock to go from 5 days of laying around relaxing to being back on a schedule once we hit our ports and then it was BAM one port after another with no real break. the last 4 days flew by.
On boarding and disembarking were a snap with our priority status. We were on and off the ship very quickly.
The NCL app - never worked once on my phone. I always have issues with it.
My fellow passengers. Just like humanity a mixed bad. There is one culture out there that just has no real understanding of how their actions impact others. They usually travel in large groups. They can be loud. They crowd around any entrance. They do not listen to directions (or do not understand them) given by the crew. trying to leave the ship to go into Amsterdam we were stuck behind one person who had forgotten their card and could not get off the boat and they all crowded around the entrance yelling at each other rather than moving to the side to allow everyone else off.
We had our drunk and inconsiderate people, but also met some great individuals.
Anyway that's my surface thoughts.

2024.05.18 11:09 TangerineJust6591 The Ultimate Guide to Creating and Managing a Hospital Email List Introduction

In the fast-paced world of healthcare, effective communication is key. One powerful tool for achieving this is a hospital email list. If you're wondering why and how your hospital should create and manage an email list, you're in the right place. This guide will walk you through every step, from understanding the basics to implementing advanced strategies, ensuring you can leverage email marketing to its fullest potential.

Understanding the Basics of an Email List

What is an Email List?

An email list is a collection of email addresses that you can use to send information, updates, and promotional content. For hospitals, this list can include patients, staff, and other stakeholders.

Why Hospitals Need an Email List

Hospitals benefit from email lists by maintaining regular communication with patients, providing health tips, announcing new services, and gathering feedback. It enhances patient engagement and trust, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes.

Planning Your Hospital Email List

Defining Your Objectives

Before you start collecting emails, define what you want to achieve. Are you looking to improve patient retention, increase appointment bookings, or promote health programs? Clear objectives will guide your strategy.

Identifying Your Target Audience

Your audience might include current patients, potential patients, healthcare professionals, and community members. Understanding who you are targeting will help tailor your messages effectively.

Compliance and Privacy Considerations

In healthcare, privacy is paramount. Ensure that your email collection and marketing practices comply with regulations like HIPAA in the U.S. and GDPR in Europe. Transparency with patients about how their data will be used is crucial.

Building Your Hospital Email List

Collecting Emails through Website Sign-Ups

Your hospital’s website is a great place to start. Include sign-up forms prominently, offering incentives like health tips or newsletters to encourage subscriptions.

Utilizing Patient Intake Forms

Incorporate email opt-in options in patient intake forms. This method ensures you collect emails from individuals already engaging with your services.

Leveraging Social Media Platforms

Promote your email list on social media. Run campaigns highlighting the benefits of subscribing, such as receiving exclusive health insights and updates.

Hosting Webinars and Online Events

Webinars on health topics can attract potential subscribers. Require email registration to participate, expanding your list while providing valuable content.

Tools and Software for Email List Management

Choosing the Right Email Marketing Platform

Select an email marketing platform that suits your needs. Options like Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or specialized healthcare platforms can offer the necessary features.

Integrating with Hospital Management Systems

Integration with your hospital management system can streamline the process, ensuring that patient data is up-to-date and accurately reflected in your email campaigns.

Using CRM Software

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software can help manage interactions with your audience, segmenting contacts for more personalized communication.

Creating Effective Email Campaigns

Crafting Compelling Subject Lines

The subject line is your first impression. Make it catchy and relevant to encourage recipients to open the email.

Designing Engaging Content

Use a mix of text, images, and videos to make your emails visually appealing. Include valuable information that addresses the needs and interests of your audience.

Personalizing Your Emails

Personalization goes beyond using the recipient's name. Segment your audience and tailor content to different groups, making your messages more relevant and engaging.

Segmenting Your Audience

Divide your email list into segments based on criteria like age, medical history, or interests. This allows for targeted messaging, increasing the effectiveness of your campaigns.

Ensuring Compliance with Regulations

Understanding HIPAA and GDPR

Familiarize yourself with the regulations governing email marketing in healthcare. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) in the U.S. and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in Europe set strict guidelines on data use and privacy.

Best Practices for Email Marketing in Healthcare

Always get explicit consent before adding someone to your email list. Provide clear information on how their data will be used and offer easy opt-out options.

Optimizing Email Deliverability

Avoiding Spam Filters

To avoid your emails landing in spam folders, use reputable email marketing services, maintain a clean email list, and avoid spammy language.

Ensuring Mobile Compatibility

Many people read emails on their phones. Ensure your emails are mobile-friendly, with responsive design and easily readable content.

Maintaining a Clean Email List

Regularly update your email list to remove inactive addresses. This improves deliverability and keeps your list engaged.

Analyzing and Improving Performance

Key Metrics to Track

Monitor metrics like open rates, click-through rates, and conversion rates to gauge the success of your campaigns.

A/B Testing Strategies

A/B testing involves sending two variations of an email to see which performs better. Test different subject lines, content, and layouts to optimize your emails.

Using Analytics to Refine Your Approach

Leverage analytics to understand what works and what doesn’t. Adjust your strategies based on data to continually improve your email marketing efforts.

Creating Loyalty Programs

Offer loyalty programs that provide exclusive benefits to subscribers, such as early access to events or special health resources.

Encouraging Feedback and Interaction

Encourage subscribers to provide feedback and interact with your emails. Surveys and interactive content can make your audience feel valued and involved.

Trigger-Based Emails

Send emails triggered by specific actions, like signing up for a webinar or completing a patient survey. These targeted messages can boost engagement.

Lessons Learned from Industry Leaders

Industry leaders can provide valuable insights into best practices and innovative approaches. Study their methods to enhance your email marketing.

Handling Unsubscribes

Unsubscribes are inevitable, but monitoring the reasons can help improve your content and retention strategies.

The Best SEO Plumber Guide From an Industry Expert
https://preview.redd.it/ad2tj4pku41d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=ff5c3973dcc6ebb929c8ec59b20b06815f3200fa
Every month “plumbers near me” is searched up to 800,000 times globally (Google Keyword Planner. 2024).
Is your plumbing company a top result in your target location?
To thrive, your plumbing business needs to be visible where most potential customers are searching, Google.
This guide will provide you with top Plumber SEO tips to enhance your plumbing business’s online visibility.

First, what is Plumber SEO?

Plumber SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of affecting local search engine rankings for plumbers. Plumber SEO is a subspecialty of Local SEO, which is the practice of affecting local search engine rankings.

Understanding Why You Should Do Plumber SEO

Plumber SEO is crucial because it helps your plumbing service appear in search results when potential customers in your area look for the services you offer.
A cool 68.7% of all clicks go to the top three organic search results.
If you're not effective with SEO you're invisible (Unless you're paying to play).

Can You Do Plumber SEO Yourself?

Yes, you can certainly get started with the basics of Plumber SEO, but advanced SEO, like Technical SEO, will require a technical specialization.
The most accessible way to learn is through reputable sources like Barry Schwartz's Search Engine Roundtable and experienced Local SEO professionals like Joy Hawkins.
Let's get started with some basics.

1. Optimize Your Google Business Profile

https://preview.redd.it/n7u78h3yu41d1.png?width=1277&format=png&auto=webp&s=91fb5b4a5ffa946d75c4f582ca43904ca5233c10
To appear in Google’s local search results, including the Map Pack, start with your Google Business Profile (GBP). Here’s how to optimize it:
Claim and Set Up Your Google Profile
If you're not on the map already, add your business name and category. Choose a primary category such as "Plumber" and you can add more later for more specific services like Gas Installation Service, Drainage Service, or Bathroom Remodeler.
Complete Your Profile Details
Review Darren Shaw's Whitespark Local Search Ranking Factors to see how you should prioritize your time.
If you're here doing pre-research before you even start a plumbing business take advantage of the knowledge that the keywords in your business name and the proximity to the location you want to rank in are top-ranking factors.
Set up your service area and you can choose up to 20 locations, but the guideline is that it must be no longer than a 2-hour drive from where your business is based.

2. Local Citations and Reviews

https://preview.redd.it/yaphjtwzu41d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=9a1368dfc95d8f370bd64adb18eb9de70fa43893
Most business directories list your business name, address, and phone number. These listings are known as NAP citations. Consistent NAP citations across various directories improve your Local SEO.
Here’s how to get started:
Get Listed with Top Local Directories
You can either use a data aggregator service to list you on multiple directories or take care of some of the free ones first.
Once you're verified for Google Business Profile you can import your business onto Bing as well with a few clicks.
Don't forget to get listed on Yelp as well since Apple Map searches rely on data from Yelp. Facebook and Instagram also allow you to put your address which helps your Local SEO.
YellowPages, Better Business Bureau, and Manta are some free ones to get as well.

3. Boost Your Reviews

Reviews not only enhance your credibility but also improve your SEO rankings. Here are some effective ways to gather more reviews:
  • Use Google’s Business Profile Manager
  • Get a QR Code that uses a link from GBP to request a review and a Business Card to leave for customers.
  • Follow-Up Call or Email Requesting Feedback
  • Email Signature with your website link and a link to leave a review.

4. Keyword Research for Targeted Visibility

Understanding what potential customers search for helps tailor your website content to meet their needs. Effective keyword research is the foundation of successful SEO.
Identify Service-Related Keywords
Identifying the right keywords is the first step in creating content that attracts potential customers. Here’s how to get started:
List Your Services
Start by making a comprehensive list of all the plumbing services you offer. Think about every specific service you provide, no matter how niche. A detailed list might include: Drain unblocking, Burst pipe repair, Drain Cleaning, Toilet installation, Water heater repair, Sewer line inspection and repair
Listing these services helps you understand the scope of your business and provides a basis for keyword research. Make sure to include all services, even those you might consider minor, as they can attract targeted searches from potential customers looking for specific help.
Use Keyword Tools
Once you have your list of services, the next step is to use keyword research tools to find relevant keywords that potential customers are searching for. Here’s how to leverage these tools:
Google Keyword Planner
Google's Keyword Planner is a free tool that helps you find keywords related to your services. Here’s how to use it effectively:
Enter Your Services
Input the list of services you created into the tool. For example, if you offer "drain cleaning," enter this term into the Keyword Planner.
Analyze Keyword Suggestions
The tool will generate a list of related keywords, showing their search volumes and competition levels. Look for keywords with a high search volume and low to medium competition. These are the sweet spots that can drive significant traffic to your site.
Include Local Modifiers
Add local modifiers to your keywords to target searches in your service area. For example, “drain cleaning near me” or “emergency plumber in [your city].” This helps attract customers who are looking for services in specific locations.
Develop individual pages for each service, optimized with relevant keywords. Each page should include the following elements:
Create Service-Specific Pages
By creating dedicated, optimized pages for each service, you can attract more targeted traffic and convert visitors into customers. These pages not only improve your SEO but also provide valuable information to potential clients, helping them choose your services with confidence.
Once you have identified the right keywords, the next step is to create dedicated pages for each service you offer. Here’s how to optimize these pages:
Service Areas
Clearly list the areas you serve for each service. This helps with local SEO and lets potential customers know if you can assist them in their location. For example:
"We proudly offer our drain cleaning services to residents in [Your City] and surrounding areas, including [Nearby City 1], [Nearby City 2], and [Nearby City 3]."
Unique Selling Points
Highlight what makes your service unique. This could be your experience, certifications, special equipment, or customer satisfaction guarantees. For example:
"With over 20 years of experience and state-of-the-art equipment, we provide unparalleled drain cleaning services. Our certified technicians ensure the job is done right the first time, giving you peace of mind."
Customer Reviews and Testimonials
Include positive reviews and testimonials from satisfied customers. This builds trust and credibility with potential clients. For example:
What Our Customers Have to Say
"Professional and courteous. The best drain cleaning service I’ve used." -Mark S.
Contact Information
Make it easy for visitors to get in touch with you. Provide your phone number, email address, and a web form for inquiries. Including a call-to-action (CTA) encourages potential customers to take the next step. For example:
"Contact us today for expert drain cleaning services. Call us at [Phone Number] or fill out our online form for a free quote. We’re here to help 24/7."

5. Website Content & Optimization

Craft Compelling Content
Each service page should clearly describe the service, its benefits, and why customers should choose you. Include certifications, unique selling points, and customer testimonials to build trust. Additionally, create engaging and informative content such as blog posts, FAQs, and plumbing tips to attract and retain visitors.
Optimize Title Tags and Meta Descriptions
Ensure these elements are compelling and informative as they appear in search results and can influence click-through rates. Here are some tips:
Title Tags
Your title tag should accurately describe the content of your page. Include specific details that make your page stand out. For example, instead of a generic title like "Plumbing Services," use something more specific like "Expert Drain Cleaning Services in [City]."
Meta Descriptions
Clearly summarize what the page is about. Include the most important points that users should know before clicking. For example, for a drain cleaning service page, you might write: "Get expert drain cleaning services in [City]. Our plumbers are available 24/7 to handle any blockage. Call [number] for a free quote."
Google typically displays the first 150-160 characters of a meta description. Aim to keep your meta descriptions concise and within this limit to ensure the full text is visible.
Include your phone number in the meta description as this is clickable on mobile.
Create Mobile-Friendly Pages
With most local searches being conducted on smartphones, it’s essential to ensure your website is mobile-friendly. Here’s how:
Responsive Design
Responsive design refers to a web design approach that makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes. It ensures that your website looks and functions correctly on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
Optimize Images
Large images can slow down your website, leading to a poor user experience, especially on mobile devices with slower internet connections. Optimizing images ensures faster loading times, which can improve both user experience and SEO.
Use a site like TinyJPG to compress images for free.
Simple Layout
A simple, uncluttered layout improves user experience by making it easier for visitors to navigate your site and find the information they need. It also ensures that your site loads faster, as there are fewer elements to load.
Click-to-Call Buttons
Click-to-call buttons are crucial for mobile users, allowing them to contact your business with a single tap. This convenience can increase conversion rates and improve customer satisfaction.

6. Build a Strong Link Profile

Backlinks are one of Google’s strongest ranking factors. Here’s how to build a robust link profile for your plumbing business:
Guest Blogging and Community Participation
Guest blogging and engaging in community participation are effective ways to build high-quality backlinks and establish your authority in the plumbing industry.
Identify Target Blogs
Find blogs in the plumbing, home improvement, and DIY niches that accept guest posts. Look for blogs with a good reputation and engaged audiences. Use search queries like “plumbing blogs accepting guest posts” or “home improvement write for us.”
Reach out to the blog owners with well-crafted pitches. Propose topics that are relevant to their audience and showcase your expertise. Ensure your pitch is concise and highlights the value you can provide to their readers.
Write well-researched, informative, and engaging articles. Focus on providing valuable insights and practical advice. Include relevant keywords naturally and ensure the content aligns with the blog’s style and tone.
In your author bio, include a brief description of yourself and your plumbing business, along with a link back to your website. Some blogs may also allow you to include a link within the content itself. Ensure these links are relevant and add value to the article.
Join Relevant Communities
Participate in forums and online communities related to plumbing, home improvement, and DIY. Websites like Reddit, Quora, and specialized plumbing forums are great places to start. Join groups where homeowners seek advice on plumbing issues.
Offer helpful and knowledgeable answers to questions. Avoid blatant self-promotion; instead, focus on providing genuine value. Share your expertise and build a reputation as a helpful professional.
When appropriate, include links to your blog posts or service pages that provide additional information. Make sure these links are relevant to the discussion and genuinely help the reader.
HARO (Help A Reporter Out)
HARO connects sources with journalists looking for expert quotes. This can lead to high-quality backlinks from reputable sites.
Sign up for a free HARO account as a source. You will receive daily emails with journalist requests categorized by industry. Plumbing-related requests might fall under Home & Garden or Business & Finance.
Monitor the HARO emails for requests related to plumbing, home maintenance, or small business operations. Respond promptly with concise, informative answers. Highlight your expertise and provide useful insights.
When responding, be detailed and professional. Include your full name, title, business name, and a link to your website. Journalists are more likely to use your quotes if they are well-articulated and relevant to their article.
Replicate Competitors’ Links
Analyzing your competitors’ backlinks can help you discover new link-building opportunities.
Identify your top competitors by searching for your target keywords in Google. Note the websites that consistently appear at the top of the search results.
Use tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Moz to analyze your competitors’ backlink profiles. Enter their domain into the tool to see a list of websites linking to them.
Assess the quality of these backlinks by looking at metrics like organic traffic. Focus on high-quality backlinks from reputable sites.
Look for backlinks that you can replicate. These might include guest posts, directory listings, or mentions in articles. Reach out to these websites with a similar pitch to get your site linked as well.
Reclaim Lost Links
Reclaiming lost links involves identifying and fixing broken or redirected links pointing to your site.
Use tools like Ahrefs or Google Search Console to identify broken links pointing to your website. These tools can help you find 404 errors and other issues.
Identify links that are redirected to other pages or domains. Ensure that the redirects are still relevant and pointing to the correct pages.
Reach out to the webmasters of the sites linking to your broken URLs. Politely ask them to update the link to the correct page. Provide the exact URL to make it easier for them.
If you have moved content to a new URL, set up 301 redirects from the old URLs to the new ones. This ensures that any backlinks pointing to the old URL still pass on link equity to the new page.

7. Technical SEO

Technical SEO ensures that search engines can find and index your pages. Here’s how to set your site up for technical success:
Plan Your Site Structure
A well-organized site structure helps visitors navigate your website and allows Google to find all your pages. Here’s a good starting point for your site structure:
Home Page -> Service Pages -> Blogs to Informational and How-To Pages
Use HTTPS
HTTPS is a secure way for visitors to access web pages. It’s important for SEO because it’s been a ranking factor since 2014. Check if your website uses HTTPS by looking for a lock icon in the browser’s search bar.
Monitor Your SEO Health
Regularly monitor your website’s SEO health using tools like Google Search Console. These tools can help you identify and fix common SEO issues. Key metrics to track include organic traffic, keyword performance, and site health score.

8. SEO Content Marketing

Creating valuable content can attract traffic and customers from organic search. Here’s how to create and promote content that ranks:
Keyword Research Topics
Finding the right topics to write about is crucial for attracting organic traffic. Here’s how to identify proven topics:
Begin with broad keywords related to plumbing, such as “leak repair,” “drain cleaning,” or “water heater maintenance.” Enter these into keyword research tools like Ahrefs Keywords Explorer, Google Keyword Planner, or SEMrush.
Use these tools to find related keywords and phrases that people are searching for. Look for questions and long-tail keywords (phrases with three or more words) that indicate specific user intents. For example, instead of just “drain cleaning,” look for “how to clean a clogged drain” or “best drain cleaning services in [city].”
Evaluate the search volume and competition level for each keyword. Ideally, target keywords with high search volume but low to medium competition. This increases the chances of ranking well without facing too much competition.
Analyze the search engine results pages (SERPs) for your target keywords to see what type of content is ranking. Look for featured snippets, people also ask boxes, and top-ranking articles to understand the type of content Google favors.
Use Questions and Informational Keywords
Focus on questions and informational keywords, such as “how-to” guides, tutorials, and tips. These types of content tend to attract more engagement and backlinks, boosting your SEO.
Publish Optimized Blog Posts
Once you have identified the right topics, it’s time to create optimized blog posts that rank well and attract traffic.
Analyze the top-ranking pages for your target keywords to understand the user intent behind the searches. Are people looking for how-to guides, detailed articles, or quick answers? Align your content with what users expect to find.
Ensure your content fully addresses the search query. If users are looking for a guide on fixing a leaky faucet, provide a step-by-step tutorial with images, videos, and troubleshooting tips.
Use Clear Headings and Subheadings
Organize your content with clear headings (H1, H2, H3) and subheadings. This not only improves readability but also helps search engines understand the structure of your content.
Break down information into bullet points and numbered lists where appropriate. This makes your content more scannable and user-friendly.
Include Images and Videos
Use relevant images, infographics, and videos to enhance your content. Visual elements can help explain complex topics and keep readers engaged.
Write Compelling Titles
Your titles should be engaging and accurately describe the content. Use power words and numbers to make your titles more compelling. For example, “10 Easy Tips for Fixing a Leaky Faucet” or “How to Unclog Any Drain in 5 Simple Steps.”
Keep It Under 60 Characters
Aim to keep your titles under 60 characters to ensure they are fully displayed in SERPs and not cut off.
For a blog post on drain cleaning, a compelling title could be: “How to Clean a Clogged Drain: 7 Effective Methods”
9. Promote Your Content
Creating great content is only the first step. You also need to promote it to ensure it reaches your target audience and attracts backlinks.
Share your blog posts on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Tailor your posts to each platform’s audience and use engaging visuals and descriptions to attract attention.
Join Relevant Groups and Communities
Participate in relevant Facebook groups, LinkedIn groups, and online communities related to plumbing and home improvement. Share your content when appropriate, providing value to the community.
Engage with Your Audience
Respond to comments and questions on your social media posts. Engaging with your audience can increase your content’s reach and build relationships with potential customers.

10. Tracking SEO Progress

Tracking your SEO efforts is essential to understand what’s working and what needs improvement. Here’s how to do it:
Google Business Profile Performance
Monitoring your Google Business Profile (GBP) performance is crucial for understanding how well your business is performing in local search results.
Check Profile Performance
Log into your Google account and search for your business name. This should bring up your Google Business Profile. Click on the “See profile performance” button to access detailed metrics about how your profile is performing.
Key Metrics to Monitor
Views: The number of times your business profile has been viewed. This gives you an idea of how visible your business is in local searches.
Search Queries: The specific queries that led users to your business profile. This helps you understand what terms potential customers are using to find your business.
Customer Actions: This includes actions like visits to your website, requests for directions, calls to your business, and bookings. Tracking these actions helps you understand how effective your profile is at converting views into interactions.
Photo Views: The number of times your business photos have been viewed. High-quality photos can attract more attention and engagement.
Optimize Based on Insights
Use the insights from your profile performance to optimize your GBP. For example, if you notice that certain photos are getting more views, consider adding more similar photos. If specific queries are leading to your profile, ensure those keywords are prominently featured in your profile description and posts.
Google Search Console (GSC) is a powerful tool that provides valuable insights into your website’s performance in organic search results.
Key Metrics to Monitor
Performance Report: This report provides an overview of your site’s performance in Google Search. Key metrics include:
Total Clicks: The number of times users clicked on your site in search results.
Total Impressions: The number of times your site appeared in search results.
Average Click-Through Rate (CTR): The ratio of clicks to impressions, showing how effective your site is at attracting clicks.
Average Position: Your site’s average ranking position for the tracked queries.
Search Queries: This section shows the specific queries that users are entering to find your site. Analyze which keywords are driving the most traffic and consider creating more content around those terms.
Pages: Identify which pages on your site are performing best in search. This can help you understand what type of content resonates most with your audience.
Devices: Understand how users are accessing your site (desktop, mobile, tablet). This helps you ensure your site is optimized for all devices, particularly mobile.
Optimize Based on Insights
Use the data from GSC to optimize your site’s SEO strategy. For example, if you notice that certain pages have a high number of impressions but a low CTR, consider updating the meta descriptions and title tags to be more compelling. If specific keywords are performing well, create more content around those topics to capture additional traffic.
Set up Google Analytics on your website to analyze and gain even more valuable insights.
Hope this helps!

2024.05.18 06:57 Worst_Artist The Best SEO Plumber Guide From an Industry Expert

The Best SEO Plumber Guide From an Industry Expert
https://preview.redd.it/1shzb3ov541d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=95ea6f2823224f56986ee0f53fb9e6d65e740c46
Every month “plumbers near me” is searched up to 800,000 times globally (Google Keyword Planner. 2024).
Is your plumbing company a top result in your target location?
To thrive, your plumbing business needs to be visible where most potential customers are searching, Google.
This guide will provide you with top Plumber SEO tips to enhance your plumbing business’s online visibility.

First, what is Plumber SEO?

Plumber SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of affecting local search engine rankings for plumbers. Plumber SEO is a subspecialty of Local SEO, which is the practice of affecting local search engine rankings.

Understanding Why You Should Do Plumber SEO

Plumber SEO is crucial because it helps your plumbing service appear in search results when potential customers in your area look for the services you offer.
A cool 68.7% of all clicks go to the top three organic search results.
If you're not effective with SEO you're invisible (Unless you're paying to play).

Can You Do Plumber SEO Yourself?

Yes, you can certainly get started with the basics of Plumber SEO, but advanced SEO, like Technical SEO, will require a technical specialization.
The most accessible way to learn is through reputable sources like Barry Schwartz's Search Engine Roundtable and experienced Local SEO professionals like Joy Hawkins.
Let's get started with some basics.

1. Optimize Your Google Business Profile

https://preview.redd.it/flmgg13e641d1.png?width=1277&format=png&auto=webp&s=262a86e4fa578c3cba939d4d83ece4125a76f9ea
To appear in Google’s local search results, including the Map Pack, start with your Google Business Profile (GBP). Here’s how to optimize it:
Claim and Set Up Your Google Profile
If you're not on the map already, add your business name and category. Choose a primary category such as "Plumber" and you can add more later for more specific services like Gas Installation Service, Drainage Service, or Bathroom Remodeler.
Complete Your Profile Details
Review Darren Shaw's Whitespark Local Search Ranking Factors to see how you should prioritize your time.
If you're here doing pre-research before you even start a plumbing business take advantage of the knowledge that the keywords in your business name and the proximity to the location you want to rank in are top-ranking factors.
Set up your service area and you can choose up to 20 locations, but the guideline is that it must be no longer than a 2-hour drive from where your business is based.

2. Local Citations and Reviews

https://preview.redd.it/nu4jmc8j641d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=46befefb7b8ad525a5b6d1e51d937291841701ae
Most business directories list your business name, address, and phone number. These listings are known as NAP citations. Consistent NAP citations across various directories improve your Local SEO.
Here’s how to get started:
Get Listed with Top Local Directories
You can either use a data aggregator service to list you on multiple directories or take care of some of the free ones first.
Once you're verified for Google Business Profile you can import your business onto Bing as well with a few clicks.
Don't forget to get listed on Yelp as well since Apple Map searches rely on data from Yelp. Facebook and Instagram also allow you to put your address which helps your Local SEO.
YellowPages, Better Business Bureau, and Manta are some free ones to get as well.

3. Boost Your Reviews

Reviews not only enhance your credibility but also improve your SEO rankings. Here are some effective ways to gather more reviews:
  • Use Google’s Business Profile Manager
  • Get a QR Code that uses a link from GBP to request a review and a Business Card to leave for customers.
  • Follow-Up Call or Email Requesting Feedback
  • Email Signature with your website link and a link to leave a review.

4. Keyword Research for Targeted Visibility

Understanding what potential customers search for helps tailor your website content to meet their needs. Effective keyword research is the foundation of successful SEO.
Identify Service-Related Keywords
Identifying the right keywords is the first step in creating content that attracts potential customers. Here’s how to get started:
List Your Services
Start by making a comprehensive list of all the plumbing services you offer. Think about every specific service you provide, no matter how niche. A detailed list might include: Drain unblocking, Burst pipe repair, Drain Cleaning, Toilet installation, Water heater repair, Sewer line inspection and repair
Listing these services helps you understand the scope of your business and provides a basis for keyword research. Make sure to include all services, even those you might consider minor, as they can attract targeted searches from potential customers looking for specific help.
Use Keyword Tools
Once you have your list of services, the next step is to use keyword research tools to find relevant keywords that potential customers are searching for. Here’s how to leverage these tools:
Google Keyword Planner
Google's Keyword Planner is a free tool that helps you find keywords related to your services. Here’s how to use it effectively:
Enter Your Services
Input the list of services you created into the tool. For example, if you offer "drain cleaning," enter this term into the Keyword Planner.
Analyze Keyword Suggestions
The tool will generate a list of related keywords, showing their search volumes and competition levels. Look for keywords with a high search volume and low to medium competition. These are the sweet spots that can drive significant traffic to your site.
Include Local Modifiers
Add local modifiers to your keywords to target searches in your service area. For example, “drain cleaning near me” or “emergency plumber in [your city].” This helps attract customers who are looking for services in specific locations.
Develop individual pages for each service, optimized with relevant keywords. Each page should include the following elements:
Create Service-Specific Pages
By creating dedicated, optimized pages for each service, you can attract more targeted traffic and convert visitors into customers. These pages not only improve your SEO but also provide valuable information to potential clients, helping them choose your services with confidence.
Once you have identified the right keywords, the next step is to create dedicated pages for each service you offer. Here’s how to optimize these pages:
Service Areas
Clearly list the areas you serve for each service. This helps with local SEO and lets potential customers know if you can assist them in their location. For example:

Unique Selling Points
Highlight what makes your service unique. This could be your experience, certifications, special equipment, or customer satisfaction guarantees. For example:
"With over 20 years of experience and state-of-the-art equipment, we provide unparalleled drain cleaning services. Our certified technicians ensure the job is done right the first time, giving you peace of mind."
Customer Reviews and Testimonials
Include positive reviews and testimonials from satisfied customers. This builds trust and credibility with potential clients. For example:
What Our Customers Have to Say
"Professional and courteous. The best drain cleaning service I’ve used." -Mark S.
Contact Information
Make it easy for visitors to get in touch with you. Provide your phone number, email address, and a web form for inquiries. Including a call-to-action (CTA) encourages potential customers to take the next step. For example:
"Contact us today for expert drain cleaning services. Call us at [Phone Number] or fill out our online form for a free quote. We’re here to help 24/7."

5. Website Content & Optimization

Craft Compelling Content
Each service page should clearly describe the service, its benefits, and why customers should choose you. Include certifications, unique selling points, and customer testimonials to build trust. Additionally, create engaging and informative content such as blog posts, FAQs, and plumbing tips to attract and retain visitors.
Optimize Title Tags and Meta Descriptions
Ensure these elements are compelling and informative as they appear in search results and can influence click-through rates. Here are some tips:
Title Tags
Your title tag should accurately describe the content of your page. Include specific details that make your page stand out. For example, instead of a generic title like "Plumbing Services," use something more specific like "Expert Drain Cleaning Services in [City]."
Meta Descriptions
Clearly summarize what the page is about. Include the most important points that users should know before clicking. For example, for a drain cleaning service page, you might write: "Get expert drain cleaning services in [City]. Our plumbers are available 24/7 to handle any blockage. Call [number] for a free quote."
Google typically displays the first 150-160 characters of a meta description. Aim to keep your meta descriptions concise and within this limit to ensure the full text is visible.
Include your phone number in the meta description as this is clickable on mobile.
Create Mobile-Friendly Pages
With most local searches being conducted on smartphones, it’s essential to ensure your website is mobile-friendly. Here’s how:
Responsive Design
Responsive design refers to a web design approach that makes web pages render well on a variety of devices and window or screen sizes. It ensures that your website looks and functions correctly on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
Optimize Images
Large images can slow down your website, leading to a poor user experience, especially on mobile devices with slower internet connections. Optimizing images ensures faster loading times, which can improve both user experience and SEO.
Use a site like TinyJPG to compress images for free.
Simple Layout
A simple, uncluttered layout improves user experience by making it easier for visitors to navigate your site and find the information they need. It also ensures that your site loads faster, as there are fewer elements to load.
Click-to-Call Buttons
Click-to-call buttons are crucial for mobile users, allowing them to contact your business with a single tap. This convenience can increase conversion rates and improve customer satisfaction.

6. Build a Strong Link Profile

Backlinks are one of Google’s strongest ranking factors. Here’s how to build a robust link profile for your plumbing business:
Guest Blogging and Community Participation
Guest blogging and engaging in community participation are effective ways to build high-quality backlinks and establish your authority in the plumbing industry.
Identify Target Blogs
Find blogs in the plumbing, home improvement, and DIY niches that accept guest posts. Look for blogs with a good reputation and engaged audiences. Use search queries like “plumbing blogs accepting guest posts” or “home improvement write for us.”
Reach out to the blog owners with well-crafted pitches. Propose topics that are relevant to their audience and showcase your expertise. Ensure your pitch is concise and highlights the value you can provide to their readers.
Write well-researched, informative, and engaging articles. Focus on providing valuable insights and practical advice. Include relevant keywords naturally and ensure the content aligns with the blog’s style and tone.
In your author bio, include a brief description of yourself and your plumbing business, along with a link back to your website. Some blogs may also allow you to include a link within the content itself. Ensure these links are relevant and add value to the article.
Join Relevant Communities
Participate in forums and online communities related to plumbing, home improvement, and DIY. Websites like Reddit, Quora, and specialized plumbing forums are great places to start. Join groups where homeowners seek advice on plumbing issues.
Offer helpful and knowledgeable answers to questions. Avoid blatant self-promotion; instead, focus on providing genuine value. Share your expertise and build a reputation as a helpful professional.
When appropriate, include links to your blog posts or service pages that provide additional information. Make sure these links are relevant to the discussion and genuinely help the reader.
HARO (Help A Reporter Out)
HARO connects sources with journalists looking for expert quotes. This can lead to high-quality backlinks from reputable sites.
Sign up for a free HARO account as a source. You will receive daily emails with journalist requests categorized by industry. Plumbing-related requests might fall under Home & Garden or Business & Finance.
Monitor the HARO emails for requests related to plumbing, home maintenance, or small business operations. Respond promptly with concise, informative answers. Highlight your expertise and provide useful insights.
When responding, be detailed and professional. Include your full name, title, business name, and a link to your website. Journalists are more likely to use your quotes if they are well-articulated and relevant to their article.
Replicate Competitors’ Links
Analyzing your competitors’ backlinks can help you discover new link-building opportunities.
Identify your top competitors by searching for your target keywords in Google. Note the websites that consistently appear at the top of the search results.
Use tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Moz to analyze your competitors’ backlink profiles. Enter their domain into the tool to see a list of websites linking to them.
Assess the quality of these backlinks by looking at metrics like organic traffic. Focus on high-quality backlinks from reputable sites.
Look for backlinks that you can replicate. These might include guest posts, directory listings, or mentions in articles. Reach out to these websites with a similar pitch to get your site linked as well.
Reclaim Lost Links
Reclaiming lost links involves identifying and fixing broken or redirected links pointing to your site.
Use tools like Ahrefs or Google Search Console to identify broken links pointing to your website. These tools can help you find 404 errors and other issues.
Identify links that are redirected to other pages or domains. Ensure that the redirects are still relevant and pointing to the correct pages.
Reach out to the webmasters of the sites linking to your broken URLs. Politely ask them to update the link to the correct page. Provide the exact URL to make it easier for them.
If you have moved content to a new URL, set up 301 redirects from the old URLs to the new ones. This ensures that any backlinks pointing to the old URL still pass on link equity to the new page.

7. Technical SEO

Technical SEO ensures that search engines can find and index your pages. Here’s how to set your site up for technical success:
Plan Your Site Structure
A well-organized site structure helps visitors navigate your website and allows Google to find all your pages. Here’s a good starting point for your site structure:
Home Page -> Service Pages -> Blogs to Informational and How-To Pages
Use HTTPS
HTTPS is a secure way for visitors to access web pages. It’s important for SEO because it’s been a ranking factor since 2014. Check if your website uses HTTPS by looking for a lock icon in the browser’s search bar.
Monitor Your SEO Health
Regularly monitor your website’s SEO health using tools like Google Search Console. These tools can help you identify and fix common SEO issues. Key metrics to track include organic traffic, keyword performance, and site health score.

8. SEO Content Marketing

Creating valuable content can attract traffic and customers from organic search. Here’s how to create and promote content that ranks:
Keyword Research Topics
Finding the right topics to write about is crucial for attracting organic traffic. Here’s how to identify proven topics:
Begin with broad keywords related to plumbing, such as “leak repair,” “drain cleaning,” or “water heater maintenance.” Enter these into keyword research tools like Ahrefs Keywords Explorer, Google Keyword Planner, or SEMrush.
Use these tools to find related keywords and phrases that people are searching for. Look for questions and long-tail keywords (phrases with three or more words) that indicate specific user intents. For example, instead of just “drain cleaning,” look for “how to clean a clogged drain” or “best drain cleaning services in [city].”
Evaluate the search volume and competition level for each keyword. Ideally, target keywords with high search volume but low to medium competition. This increases the chances of ranking well without facing too much competition.
Analyze the search engine results pages (SERPs) for your target keywords to see what type of content is ranking. Look for featured snippets, people also ask boxes, and top-ranking articles to understand the type of content Google favors.
Use Questions and Informational Keywords
Focus on questions and informational keywords, such as “how-to” guides, tutorials, and tips. These types of content tend to attract more engagement and backlinks, boosting your SEO.
Publish Optimized Blog Posts
Once you have identified the right topics, it’s time to create optimized blog posts that rank well and attract traffic.
Analyze the top-ranking pages for your target keywords to understand the user intent behind the searches. Are people looking for how-to guides, detailed articles, or quick answers? Align your content with what users expect to find.
Ensure your content fully addresses the search query. If users are looking for a guide on fixing a leaky faucet, provide a step-by-step tutorial with images, videos, and troubleshooting tips.
Use Clear Headings and Subheadings
Organize your content with clear headings (H1, H2, H3) and subheadings. This not only improves readability but also helps search engines understand the structure of your content.
Break down information into bullet points and numbered lists where appropriate. This makes your content more scannable and user-friendly.
Include Images and Videos
Use relevant images, infographics, and videos to enhance your content. Visual elements can help explain complex topics and keep readers engaged.
Write Compelling Titles
Your titles should be engaging and accurately describe the content. Use power words and numbers to make your titles more compelling. For example, “10 Easy Tips for Fixing a Leaky Faucet” or “How to Unclog Any Drain in 5 Simple Steps.”
Keep It Under 60 Characters
Aim to keep your titles under 60 characters to ensure they are fully displayed in SERPs and not cut off.
For a blog post on drain cleaning, a compelling title could be: “How to Clean a Clogged Drain: 7 Effective Methods”
9. Promote Your Content
Creating great content is only the first step. You also need to promote it to ensure it reaches your target audience and attracts backlinks.
Share your blog posts on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Tailor your posts to each platform’s audience and use engaging visuals and descriptions to attract attention.
Join Relevant Groups and Communities
Participate in relevant Facebook groups, LinkedIn groups, and online communities related to plumbing and home improvement. Share your content when appropriate, providing value to the community.
Engage with Your Audience
Respond to comments and questions on your social media posts. Engaging with your audience can increase your content’s reach and build relationships with potential customers.

10. Tracking SEO Progress

Tracking your SEO efforts is essential to understand what’s working and what needs improvement. Here’s how to do it:
Google Business Profile Performance
Monitoring your Google Business Profile (GBP) performance is crucial for understanding how well your business is performing in local search results.
Check Profile Performance
Log into your Google account and search for your business name. This should bring up your Google Business Profile. Click on the “See profile performance” button to access detailed metrics about how your profile is performing.
Key Metrics to Monitor

Photo Views: The number of times your business photos have been viewed. High-quality photos can attract more attention and engagement.
Optimize Based on Insights
Use the insights from your profile performance to optimize your GBP. For example, if you notice that certain photos are getting more views, consider adding more similar photos. If specific queries are leading to your profile, ensure those keywords are prominently featured in your profile description and posts.
Google Search Console (GSC) is a powerful tool that provides valuable insights into your website’s performance in organic search results.
Key Metrics to Monitor
Performance Report: This report provides an overview of your site’s performance in Google Search. Key metrics include:
Total Clicks: The number of times users clicked on your site in search results.

Pages: Identify which pages on your site are performing best in search. This can help you understand what type of content resonates most with your audience.
Devices: Understand how users are accessing your site (desktop, mobile, tablet). This helps you ensure your site is optimized for all devices, particularly mobile.
Optimize Based on Insights
Use the data from GSC to optimize your site’s SEO strategy. For example, if you notice that certain pages have a high number of impressions but a low CTR, consider updating the meta descriptions and title tags to be more compelling. If specific keywords are performing well, create more content around those topics to capture additional traffic.
Set up Google Analytics on your website to analyze and gain even more valuable insights.
Hope this helps!

2024.05.18 04:33 Sparky_McDibben 3rd Party Micro Review - Investor's Guide

Hey y'all,
I like to do reviews - I don't know why; maybe I'm just a born critic. But I think that really I enjoy the feeling of finding something really cool and sharing it. Recently, a handful of really nice homebrew supplements have come to my attention, and I wanted to start sharing them with y'all.
Tonight, we're going over the first one: u/CosmicJackalop's Investor's Guide.
What I'm Reviewing:
https://www.reddit.com/cyberpunkred/comments/1ctacav/after_too_much_waiting_the_2nd_chapter_of_the/
The Investor's Guide is presented as a prospectus from the Bangor* Association of Investment Traders (BAIT), working through four up-and-coming corporations. Each corporation has a backstory, key personalities, and some of their products detailed. Only two corporations have been finished as of the time of this writing, and the document clocks in at 16 pages.
Why I'm Reviewing It:
That's a bit more of an existential question, I think, but there's really two reasons:
  1. Because it does some interesting things, and it does them stylishly
  2. Because that's what communities do - sure, we bicker, argue, and downvote, but we also lift people up when they do something awesome
A third, sort-of-bonus reason is that I want more folks to be aware of where the bar is being set for Cyberpunk RED homebrew. The homebrew I've been seeing blows some of the paid products on DriveThru out of the water, and I want to elevate that.
Now, a quick note on this review. This product is half done, but that first half is promising, and that deserves a look. I'm not going to be docking points for grammar or spelling. That amnesty is extended because a) this is someone's homebrew, offered for free, b) because you can never tell when someone's ESL and c) because I don't find proofreading to be an interesting exercise.
The Good:
Layout and writing are solid throughout the book. This carries through down to the little details (like how the page numbers are written in a similar font to US currency). The backstories for the corporations have an interesting switch in voice from the first to the second, since the second corporation has a first-hand account of the company's startup. That's hard to do, and it was interesting to read.
As to the gear, it swings for the fences. There's an assault rifle that crits on 5's and 6's on the dice. Now, it only has four shots before you have to reload, it's $5K, and it requires a bipod or BODY 11 to use, but that alone bumps the respectable crit chance of an AR from ~20% to ~51%. Hot damn.
There's also a great little anti-grenade system that uses clay discs to neutralize thrown grenades. And pigeons. And small children. Look, the point is, are your players enamored of grenades? Well give your bad guys this and watch the PCs have to figure out exactly how many discs are left before they use their precious grenade ammo! It's going in my next bad guy's toolkit.
There's also a cyber eye you can take out and leave somewhere, an option to let two Cyberdecks get paired together, and a ballistic coprocessor that gives smart ammo a +12 to hit instead of the usual +10.
Look, I'm not a great judge of game balance (I gave my current players in my 5E game double feats), because game balance isn't the most important thing I look for. But in terms of the Christmas morning factor, that sense of "I cannot wait to play with this!" I think this book passes with flying colors.
The Bad:
There are a couple of points I think could use some improvement from a table-focused perspective. These are primarily from a GM's point of view, so take them with a grain of salt.
The book's focus on founder-mythology in the corporation's backstories means that "how does this corp affect your players" is very nebulous. I would have preferred something like a screamsheet in the back, maybe one per corp, that puts that corporation in the crosshairs of a group of PCs. Maybe not as villains, but as victims of intercorp espionage, etc. I want the Gopnikov Concern to matter to my PCs. I think we can do more to bring that out.
There was very little focus on plots or plans by the corps. This may have been a product of the framing device, or there may be more to be revealed later in the book, but I'd like to know what key people in these corps want. What are there goals and motivations?
Recommendation:
Get it now, and keep an eye out for more down the road. Even if you use nothing from it, the ideas inside give you a solid jumping-off point for your own homebrew. Well done!
*A delightful place in an underrated state
