This Autumn Bears Many Gifts – VIP drafting complete.Some people talk about this time of the year as the fourth Quarter, others admire the beautiful colors of the season, but some… Well… They have squirrly plans concocted carefully.  Many of the wonderful creations we’ve been working on ever since our Powering Up email (sent Jan 2018) are coming to fruition.  It’s time to show them to you during the next two months.  Get ready for some exciting events for:Squirrly Social (October 2018)Squirrly SEO 2019  (November 2018)aaaaand…. SPY. Squirrly SPY. (Late NOV or Early DEC 2018)Very soon, you’ll be able to get your FREE Tickets to the Launch Events. You’ll need to register a ticket on Eventbrite to be able to attend each Launch Event. The events will be held Live on Youtube, based on the ticket. I will show you everything you need to know about each new product, why we built them, how they bring value to your business.

I don’t want them to go down in history as the best events for Digital Marketing ever. I want them to go down in YOUR personal history as wonderful events which helped you grow as a business owner, marketer, or developer / consultant.

SPY. Squirrly SPY.I’ve recently had to convince a really big enterprise, listed on NASDAQ to work with us on their new massive redesign of the website. Of course, we won’t make the graphics, we’ll make the architecture, and the SEO. They were convinced by the FOCUS Pages concept which will be the Core of Squirrly SEO 2019 (you’ll get to see it soon). However, my biggest weapon was the Squirrly SPY reports I presented to them for their competitors and for their own site. Before I showed them the report, the discussions were vague, and they couldn’t really understand how we’d help them win the long SEO game. Here’s one of the reports they saw during the meeting. If you ever need to convince clients, then Squirrly SPY is the way to go. Also: if you want to use it for your own business, you’ll be able to find a lot of reasons why your competitors rank number 1 on Google, while you don’t. It’s all in the data you see in the report. It’s not just about playing the ‘ol BOND. James Bond. You can really get to the reasons why other sites rank better and the improvements you can make to outrank them. Here’s a DEMO report. (someone paid $50 USD just for this one). You’re getting it for free in this email. ^^ Once downloaded, open with Excel and make sure you look at all the Sheets inside. It would help you a lot more if you could get one for your OWN case, your own industry, own website, own competitors. Soon, you’ll be able to do just that.

VIP Drafting is now Complete for Squirrly SEO 2019.Thanks so much for being active and for wanting to receive every single sneak peek into our brand new Squirrly SEO 2019. We’ll send the first VIP email this week. Until then: Keep Ranking, Florin Muresan CEO, Squirrly

Click to see full-sized imageOpening the Squirrly Vault:The Squirrly Vault is where we store our biggest milestones, where we document all the changes we’ve done to the plugin, all our trials and errors, our big wins – and all those moments in between. It’s a place to see where we started and how far we’ve come. Today, we’re opening the Vault for you. Why? Well, it’s already been 6 amazing years since we first officially launched Squirrly SEO – and a lot has changed (not just our mascot). Crazy how time flies by, right? We know some of our users today have been with us since day 1. That’s pretty incredible! I still cannot fathom it, but I am truly grateful for it. Some are renewing their subscriptions this month for their 6th consecutive year. To celebrate this and the fact that we’re getting close to launching our biggest update yet, we thought that it would be interesting to go back in time and create a timeline for the plugin itself. So, here they are; some of our favorite moments from these years of helping NON-SEO experts get on the first page of Google! A lot more have happened to the company itself, many awards, testimonials, press appearances, other lines of products, but in the lines that follow we’ll only write a bit about the moments of your favorite SEO plugin:2012. Squirrly SEO received an Angel Investment from two amazing investors in Germany, started the company in London, United Kingdom and the product launched in beta just a few days before Christmas. In terms of features, the virtual live assistant, the keyword research and the Blogging Assistant (inspiration box) were at the core of the plugin. Even before the plugin was launched, users testing the assistant became so obsessed with this feature that they paid for Squirrly one year in advance. That was a huge moment for us. (yup, paying customers for the Alpha version)2013. We launched the official version on the WordPress directory in February. At the beginning of spring, we’ve added the snippet section. Also, we introduced the Performance Analytics, using a Piwik based installation. And by the time fall rolled in, the Squirrly site Audit was released and all of our users were able to see how their site performs in terms of blogging, SEO, traffic, links, authority and social.2014. We’ve re-designed the Performance Analytics system, after trying integrations with $60,000 worth of server machinery made available to us by Microsoft.2015. We integrated the JSON-LD structured data into the SEO settings section, we’ve launched the SEO Settings Assistant and the SEO star feature was born. We added more options for multisites. We included the option to restore and backup the Squirrly settings. (both snippets and Live Assistant)2016. It was snowy out when we made the plugin compatible with more themes, with WooCommerce and Instapage. Users were able to set the external canonical URL for any post. We also fixed compatibility issues with different plugins and themes. We added rich pins for WooCommerce products. As summer took over, we added Facebook Pixel integration. Added AMP Analytics from Google. Added more copyright free images from Pixabay.com, Unsplash.com, Pexels.com, which made out Blogging Assistant even more top-notch than before.First part of 2017. Squirrly SEO 2017, followed by Squirrly SEO 2018 versions.

Breaking.Hope you enjoyed taking this short walk down on memory lane with me today.   We’ll keep sending you highlights from the Squirrly Vault every once in a while so that you can see behind the scenes and discover surprising facts from Squirrly’s history.

My Number 1 Problem With WordPress: the Lack of Control. We’re solving it for you, myself and 125,000 other people.

I will structure this email into 4 Chapters, to make it easier for you to follow:
– 1) The SEO Tactic You Should be able to Use on All Website Builders
– 2) WordPress Users Currently Miss Out On a Lot of SEO Power. See why.
– 3) My Personal Experience with the WordPress Problem
– 4) The Way to Control Your Rankings and Control Your Digital Brand.

1) Website Builders and Identifying the SEO Tactic all Website Builder Platforms Should Use

Me and Calin (my co-founder and CTO of Squirrly) have worked together for over 10 years already. It’s getting harder and harder to keep track. I can’t remember a time when we didn’t work together or collaborate on projects.

In our time working together, we’ve created and managed TWO different website creation platforms such as WordPress. Of course, what we worked on was cloud-based (just like wordpress.com, NOT wordpress.org where you download and host yourself).

I hope this email finds you well and you have some time this weekend to read the story. Maybe if you do what I’m doing right now it will get you in a reading mood. A cup of coffee near the laptop, some good music playing in the background. I’m trying to become a DJ, so currently songs from DjCity.com are playing in the background. You can try that out, along with the idea of a hot beverage, like coffee or tea.

In our time with the platforms I mentioned earlier (we call them: website builders, and I’m going to use this term moving forward) we’ve learned a lot about SEO. It was during that time that we gained most of our knowledge in the SEO field. Especially because on our website builders you could build Online Stores and Community Sites. Plus, we had a Community site ourselves for one of the website builders we created. There, we show-cased some of the best user-generated content that came up on the platform.

We had to choose from new posts created by over 16,000 people. First we did it manually, but then we automated this.

We had a great pool of sites on which we could experiment SEO techniques and get all of these sites ranking better than other websites which were not created on our platform.

We’ve tested many tactics. Some of them aren’t relevant to talk about today, because they don’t work anymore. However, there is one tactic that Always worked and will always work. It’s something that doesn’t make sense only for search engine bots. It makes tons of sense for Human readers as well.

This is the Tactic: Optimize every single URL of your site: every /tags page, every /category, every /archive, every /author, every custom post type. Don’t cut corners. Do it right. Do it manually, to ensure that each URL has META information that makes sense and is original.

In our website builders you could easily do this. We knew that the user had to do this in order to be successful with SEO. Back then, there was no Open Graph, no Twitter Cards. Sadly there was no way to optimize for Social Media. You could only optimize for SEO. But this was one of the vital elements that made all pages created on our platform rank much higher than anything published to WordPress.com, Tumblr.com, Wix.com, etc.

Now, when we switched over to WordPress (I’ll mention why in the next email), you should imagine that I was pretty pissed off that I couldn’t customize every single URL as I was able to before.

It felt like downgrading. Like moving to something that was much lower in terms of available tech. This was not progress. I was going to the stone age.

I don’t want to exaggerate. It’s just the way I felt at the time.

2) Why WordPress Users Miss Out on a Lot of Great SEO Because of WordPress

Look, WordPress does have some okay-ish things for SEO. The problem is that wordpress.org is built by volunteer developers, not by product people or people who can have a holistic vision over what needs to be in a website builder.

If the end user tries to build an e-Commerce store on WordPress, fortune isn’t really on their side.

Also, if we’re talking about blogging, I need to mention that I hate rented media (you know, when you create a blog on a platform, but you do not own that platform; it’s very risky, because they are the real owners, not you). This being said, Medium.com has 10x times more and better SEO options than a basic WordPress site. IF the WordPress site doesn’t run Squirrly SEO, of course. I’m talking about a basic WP site that has no plugin for SEO.

Even with a SEO plugin, the tactic that I’ve mentioned above can’t be currently achieved in the WordPress environment.

Every kind of website that uses /category, /tags, /authors and even custom types of URLs has an immediate SEO advantage. More inner-links, more inner-linking. Google cares a lot about websites which have many pages. Of course, they also want the pages to be high quality, not just random mumbo jumbo. Which is the reason why the SEO that you do for these special types of URLs needs to be original. Not something that you set up once with some weird automation rules. Such as: if the page is a /tags page then make sure the title is [Name of the Tag] – [Name of the Website]. This used to work 6 years ago. It doesn’t work anymore and it’s stupid. As I said: we can’t cut corners here.

Remember that Google only ever cares about the person using the search engine to find content. If that person gets the best possible experience and results, it will keep coming back for more, which then turns into money making opportunities for Google, due to their Advertising platforms.

So the only thing you need to do is help Google help that person find awesome results on search engines. Now imagine that Jim (an imaginary character) searches for: VR gear on google and google returns website.com/vr-gear. Let’s say that VR-Gear is a category in the website.com website.

Do you think Google would want Jim to see: “VR-Gear Website.com” or would Google want Jim to see: “Modern 2017 VR Gear That Professional Gamers Use” ?

Google needs Jim to see the second option. If your website.com helps google make Jim see something awesome, like in the second option, Google will make sure that your site gets ranked higher.

And remember: we’re talking about a /category page here. The content itself will get generated automatically by the posts, pages and products that you include in this category. Yet, Google can rank it or at least consider it relevant content for Jim. You create 20 categories and BOOM! You have 20 more pages that get constantly updated (if you update your store, of course). 20 more pages that are valuable for users. Google will like this and your score will increase.

This is what all WordPress users miss out on. It pisses me off. This is what I’ve never liked about WordPress.

3) My Up-Close Experience with this WordPress Problem.

In 2014 I had an online store where me and my brother sold computer games from the Steam Marketplace. It was a WooCommerce-powered WordPress site and it was powered by Squirrly SEO as well.

Let’s see what I did and what happened.

So, what I did:

– made my SEO settings ONLY with the Squirrly SEO Plugin
– found the best keywords for which I could rank my site, using the Keyword Research tool from Squirrly
– kept checking my SEO Audit from Squirrly to improve my score
– used the See Google Rank option from Squirrly’s performance analytics.
– Optimized ALL the possible pages and URLs using the SEO Live Assistant.

What Happened:

– i out-ranked the Steam Marketplace itself and everybody else for a lot of game titles, including: “Counter Strike”, “Need for Speed”, “Need for Speed cheap”, “Need for Speed PC”, etc.

I need to mention: we were also building links to this store. Just ON-PAGE SEO alone will not get the job done. Valuable links are also very important.

The problem still remained though: for some keywords I could not out-rank the others. I became obsessed with this. I studied the problem. The only thing they did better was: They were not on WordPress, so they could customize the special URLs from their site, which gave them the boost in SEO that my site did not have.

The Squirrly Snippet can not load on pages which WordPress does not allow you to edit. So I couldn’t edit my special URLs. Duplicates appeared and I had no control over my SEO.

It felt horrible. I was stuck. All because of WordPress and the fact they didn’t allow us users to customize things as we needed to.

I felt lost. With Squirrly SEO 2018, however, I’ll never feel lost this way again.

4) Squirrly SEO 2018. Control Your Rankings. Control Your Brand.

You most probably can tell my level of frustration regarding the inability to optimize every single possible URL in WordPress.

All this frustration will soon be a thing of the past. One of those things when you’re all like: “Man, that sure was the stone age of the Internet”. Haha.

Yes, it’s true. In the future, you’ll be able to gain 100% control over each URL: each page, each article, each product, each author page, each tag page, each inventory page, each category page, each [anything you can think of] page.

That’s the beauty of Squirrly SEO 2018. You’ll never have to be worried again that someone will see your listing in the Google search engine and ignore it because it looks ugly or doesn’t make sense. You’ll get to know exactly how they see it and optimize it until you’re sure they’ll love it.

This stands for people finding your site in search engines but also in social media feeds. Most category pages look amazingly ugly and low-quality when shared on Facebook. With Squirrly SEO 2018 you’ll be able to control Exactly what it will look like when shared to someone’s feed.

I am so happy that we’re finally doing this. There will be a couple more features that help you control your rankings and your brand. More about them soon.

Thanks for reading this and spending your time learning about my story. I appreciate it. I appreciate you being here.

Today is a good day.We’re getting closer and closer to the full release of Squirrly 2017. We’ve just tested the G17 version of our Squirrly Keyword Research tool. We’ve taken a lot more details into account when offering the new keywords for you. Anyway, until I tell you more about what’s going on right now in the background there are some questions I need to address. Since my last developer update, many of you have asked questions regarding the PRO subscription and the new releases of Squirrly SEO. It’s my job today to clarify what the new updates mean to you. Here is the Summary for what we’ll have in today’s email: 1) Do I Need to Purchase Something Else ? Do I need to purchase anything? 2) Why would I pay the PRO Version? How Is this Early Access? 3) Why Squirrly SEO and Not Other Plugins? 4) License and Terms 5) BackStage Access 6) Youtube Channel Winners 7) Announcing the Dates for the Release of 2017 and 2018.

Let’s see:1) Do I Need to Purchase Something Else ? Do I need to purchase anything? No, you do not need to purchase anything else, in order to get access to Squirrly SEO 2017. This answer holds true for the following types of licenses: free, pro, agency, lifetime. Versions of software products like Microsoft Windows, or versions of hardware products like the iPhone usually require a new kind of purchase every time these companies launch something new. Your Free, PRO and Agency licenses always cover you for the features that we launch for our Squirrly SEO software. The only license type that has restrictions is the One Time Fee plan. The one time plan (also called: Lifetime License or Old Squirrly) only has upgrades including the 2017 version of Squirrly SEO, but then it stops. Which means that the new innovations and features of Squirrly SEO 2018 will only be made available to free, pro and agency users, not one time. 2) Why would I pay the PRO Version? How Is this Early Access? The best part of being a PRO user is that you always get the best updates that we make, without having to wait for special release events. That’s why in one of my last emails I told you that already 70% of the 2017 version has been rolled out and you can start using it. Because you pay us a monthly fee, we can keep improving the product for you. It then seems only fair to me that we make sure you get quick access to everything we build. Unlike other plugin developers, we don’t make you go to a special website to download the latest .zip file. We don’t ask for un-installs and re-installs and stuff like that. We provide you with a frictionless experience, because you deserve it. The Early Access has already been rolled out server side (on our own servers, where most of your Squirrly SEO works from) and in the latest version of the plugin (which you get simply by clicking Update inside your WordPress -> Plugins interface). 3) Why Squirrly SEO and Not Other Plugins? This is another question that we get asked a lot. Here’s the most common question and then our own answer: “I have a very sensitive question to ask.  I know this may sound brash, but I have decisions to make. Can you–without tons of super-salesman promotion–tell me how your product is different from Yoast?” The answer: The main difference is that Squirrly offers 108 features as opposed to just 15 for SEO. Yoast is a very basic plugin, even though it is indeed a good one. Even if you have the free version of Squirrly, you still get a lot more for SEO than you would using other plugins. With the new version we’ll soon launch, you will be able to optimize every single URL of your site. Something you can’t do in any other plugin. You will have full control over how Google sees your pages and over how people see your pages in social media feeds (on Facebook, twitter, linkedin, google plus). Yes, and this part that gives you full control will be an addition to Squirrly SEO and it will be free of charge. Also, it will have most of the premium stuff offered in the pro version of yoast. Squirrly’s PRO features are things that would cost over $600 / month to get from other SEO Software: exact google rankings for pages, advanced SEO keyword research, SEO Audits, Blog Audits, Social Media Audits, Inspiration Box, copyright-free images, Performance Analytics. yoast nor any other classic SEO plugin offer any of these functions. I hope this answers the question in a non-salesy way. People keep recommending yoast because it has been around for 8 years and because it’s very simple. Also, people recommend it because that’s what people typically recommend and they want to simply go with the flow and “say what people are saying”. It’s the reason why we’ve made Squirrly SEO integrate with it. We think those features are basic anyway, and the PRO features we offer are what really make the difference in on-page SEO. 4) License and Terms Please read the new Terms of Use and make sure you agree to them. The continued use of our products and websites means that you agree with the terms written there. 5) BackStage Access Very soon we will launch BackStage access for those of you who are our best fans. The backstage access will allow you to get the best written updates about what we’re working on and what we’re introducing in Squirrly SEO 2018 (which has still just been rumored, but too few is known yet). You will get to see it before anyone else. We will pick the ones who we think are most interested in our products. If you think you want to be on the list reply to this email saying: “I want in!” I’ll know what to do. Backstage access is the best way for you to prepare for our next version of Squirrly SEO. 6) Youtube Channel Winners Yes, the Youtube Winners! A lifetime license has just been won today, when I drew the winner LIVE on youtube. I did this because I’m a big believer in the new ways the Internet allows companies to be more transparent about how they do business.  The winners of the Better Marketer giveaway had also been drawn live after that campaign ended. The feedback was really great, because everyone could see the winners being drawn fairly. Find out if you won. 7) Announcing the Dates for the Release of 2017 and 2018. Next week: We’re releasing Squirrly SEO 2017. (30th March 2017) April 24th to 27th, we’ll release the Full Squirrly SEO 2018 version. Thank you for reading the updates. Thanks for your continued support, Florin Muresan and the Squirrly Team.

nstead of building yet another SEO plugin, we’ve managed to do the impossible: create a way for our users to get TOP 10 ranking. Guaranteed. Yes, everybody says it’s impossible and it was… before Squirrly SEO 2020 (none of our previous versions were able to pull this off).

We are a different company than what you’d think of at first. As software creators and providers for thousands of companies around the world, our focus is solely on you: our customer. Squirrly SEO and all our products have been created with our customers in mind. Not with industry hype, not with what competitors do, nor how they keep copying everything we do.

Thousands of customer interviews from 2016 to 2020, have lead us to create Squirrly SEO 2020, for example. What we found out was that our B2B clients and even our B2Cs had completely different needs when it came to being found on search engines, than what Moz, SEMrush, Yoast, SEO Framework, Ahrefs, and the others were doing.

We’ve completely outmatched their software offers and our new A.I. replaces the need for hiring a Private SEO Consultant. Why? – because we give that to you inside the new Squirrly SEO.

It doesn’t offer you only SEO software… it offers you an actual Private SEO Consultant. In a Plugin. Powered by Machine Learning and Cloud Services. [ watch the video below ]

This is how far we could go and how well we could innovate, because we didn’t get stuck in things like : “hey, I wonder what competitor X or Z is doing”.

[ back to the original article we had : ]

Soon there’s going to be a new Squirrly and we’re calling it Steve to pay homage to Steve Jobs for inspiring entire generations of product developers to think differently and create customer-centric products.

We’re working on massive new features that will make working on SEO a seamless experience.

Get your VIP Access and front-row seats to the launch event here.

And now.. a few words on thinking differently and how this movement drives innovation at Squirrly.

[sqcta text=”It Started with a Movement.” type=”header”  color=”blue” size=”30px”]

Color decisions (finally revealing the answer to what people kept asking us since September 2013 when we switched to this logo):

When we first started the Squirrly Company 5 years ago, what do you think we set out to build?

– was it a generic plugin for WordPress?

NO. It was not. And thankfully we haven’t done that. Neil Patel agrees with me on this (in his own words).

– then what was it?

It was a Personal Assistant, Mentor and Coach for Digital Marketing. Yes, here is where the SEO Live Assistant from Squirrly and also our Settings Assistant have their roots.

At Squirrly we don’t just want to create a software for SEO. We want you to have a personal assistant which guides you through everything you need to do to go from “Never Found” to “Always Found” on the first page of Google.

You see? I’m not very sure that just a simple seo plugin could ever help you with that.

We’ve joined the “Think Different” mentality and movement because I do not want our mind to be limited by virtual boundaries that would naturally be set within our minds if we were to pursue the path of just building simple SEO software.

It was September 2013 when we decided that. It was during that month that we switched our logo to the Squirrly SEO product logo that you know today. And we sure ain’t changing it.

This logo reminds us that we need to keep thinking differently if we are to offer you the best possible solution of getting your pages to always be found on the first page of Google.

Back in 2013, we were the only ones building a software where you got weekly SEO Audits and progress reports. But not just basic crawling errors. Like full audits, sent weekly, for: blogging activity, traffic, SEO site structure, Social Media (if we want to improve your visibility we need to improve your social game as well), Links, Authority.

We would have never reached a point where we would give you such a complex audit on a weekly basis if we had stuck to traditional features. Apparently we were right. We were doing great things, because nowadays most SEO software comes packed with similar audits.

By thinking differently about what we can offer you according to your needs, we have built the Performance Analytics of Squirrly SEO. There’s never been an SEO plugin to offer SERP data, social media data, optimization data, even though these are some of the most important things that you can analyze and act upon.

I admit. Thinking differently set us on a weird path that ended up with us creating over 160 features for WordPress SEO. To understand this number, one could compare it to just 15 basic features present in Yoast, All In One SEO, Ultimate SEO and the others.

Yes, there are over 160 features, and by the time we finish Steve I think there will be a bit more of them.

[sqcta text=”Isn’t Bigger simply another way of saying Slower?” type=”header”  color=”blue” size=”30px”]

No. Not when it comes to the way we build software at Squirrly.

We were already the fastest SEO Plugin on the market. This happened in spite of having 108 features as opposed to just 15. Now we have over 160 features and we’re even faster than before. Squirrly SEO: Steve is faster than Squirrly SEO 2018.

Our amazing CTO, Calin Vingan, just outdid himself (again!) and re-wrote most of Squirrly SEO. Everything works better and it will allow us to build amazing things in Squirrly SEO 2018: Steve.

[sqcta text=”Squirrly is bigger and faster.” type=”header”  color=”blue” size=”25px”]

My number ONE goal is to help you get everything you need to go from never found to always found.

Other than just providing the tools for this, I want to make sure that you have an amazingly seamless experience with getting to that front page of Google.

That’s why in Steve you will see that it’s easier than ever to do any SEO optimization that you might want to do.

One of the great things you’ll see in Squirrly SEO: Steve is something that you (our amazing community) have told us we need to improve: the Quick SEO Plugin. It will no longer exist as a separate entity, because it has completely become a part of the basic Squirrly SEO offering.

This is not something that we wanted to do. But we do not care about that so much, because it’s important for us to offer you the best experience. An excellent experience, if you will.

Being customer centric is important to us. Being customer centric is more important than building whatever everyone else is building just to satisfy the status quo.

I mean… who’d name their company Squirrly? Well.. someone who IS squirrly. Super, super squirrly about being customer centric.

Does that mean we don’t build these things for us as well? Be 100% certain that we do.

We are also customers and we use Squirrly SEO non-stop. One of the big reasons why it keeps improving so often.

I think we’re managing to keep a really healthy balance in all of this. Also, we really can admit when our ideas weren’t the best. (and keeping QSS separate really wasn’t the best, I can now admit).

Thank you very much for reading this. And also a big thank you to Steve Jobs, the legend who inspired us to go down this path of thinking differently and designing for the best customer experience.

Oh, yes. And we’re having a Youtube LIVE event soon.

And now.. a few words on thinking differently and how this movement drives innovation at Squirrly.

It Started with a Movement.Color decisions (finally revealing the answer to what people kept asking us since September 2013 when we switched to this logo):                   When we first started the Squirrly Company 5 years ago, what do you think we set out to build? – was it a generic plugin for WordPress? NO. It was not. And thankfully we haven’t done that. Neil Patel agrees with me on this (in his own words). – then what was it? It was a Personal Assistant, Mentor and Coach for Digital Marketing. Yes, here is where the SEO Live Assistant from Squirrly and also our Settings Assistant have their roots. At Squirrly we don’t just want to create a software for SEO. We want you to have a personal assistant which guides you through everything you need to do to go from “Never Found” to “Always Found” on the first page of Google. You see? I’m not very sure that just a simple seo plugin could ever help you with that.  We’ve joined the “Think Different” mentality and movement because I do not want our mind to be limited by virtual boundaries that would naturally be set within our minds if we were to pursue the path of just building simple SEO software. It was September 2013 when we decided that. It was during that month that we switched our logo to the Squirrly SEO product logo that you know today. And we sure ain’t changing it. This logo reminds us that we need to keep thinking differently if we are to offer you the best possible solution of getting your pages to always be found on the first page of Google. Back in 2013, we were the only ones building a software where you got weekly SEO Audits and progress reports. But not just basic crawling errors. Like full audits, sent weekly, for: blogging activity, traffic, SEO site structure, Social Media (if we want to improve your visibility we need to improve your social game as well), Links, Authority. We would have never reached a point where we would give you such a complex audit on a weekly basis if we had stuck to traditional features. Apparently we were right. We were doing great things, because nowadays most SEO software comes packed with similar audits. By thinking differently about what we can offer you according to your needs, we have built the Performance Analytics of Squirrly SEO. There’s never been an SEO plugin to offer SERP data, social media data, optimization data, even though these are some of the most important things that you can analyze and act upon. I admit. Thinking differently set us on a weird path that ended up with us creating over 160 features for WordPress SEO. To understand this number, one could compare it to just 15 basic features present in Yoast, All In One SEO, Ultimate SEO and the others. Yes, there are over 160 features, and by the time we finish Steve I think there will be a bit more of them.

Isn’t Bigger simply another way of saying Slower?No. Not when it comes to the way we build software at Squirrly. We were already the fastest SEO Plugin on the market. This happened in spite of having 108 features as opposed to just 15. Now we have over 160 features and we’re even faster than before. Squirrly SEO: Steve is faster than Squirrly SEO 2018. Our amazing CTO, Calin Vingan, just outdid himself (again!) and re-wrote most of Squirrly SEO. Everything works better and it will allow us to build amazing things in Squirrly SEO 2018: Steve. Squirrly is bigger and faster. My number ONE goal is to help you get everything you need to go from never found to always found. Other than just providing the tools for this, I want to make sure that you have an amazingly seamless experience with getting to that front page of Google. That’s why in Steve you will see that it’s easier than ever to do any SEO optimization that you might want to do. One of the great things you’ll see in Squirrly SEO: Steve is something that you (our amazing community) have told us we need to improve: the Quick SEO Plugin. It will no longer exist as a separate entity, because it has completely become a part of the basic Squirrly SEO offering. This is not something that we wanted to do. But we do not care about that so much, because it’s important for us to offer you the best experience. An excellent experience, if you will.  Being customer centric is important to us. Being customer centric is more important than building whatever everyone else is building just to satisfy the status quo. I mean… who’d name their company Squirrly? Well.. someone who IS squirrly. Super, super squirrly about being customer centric. Does that mean we don’t build these things for us as well? Be 100% certain that we do. We are also customers and we use Squirrly SEO non-stop. One of the big reasons why it keeps improving so often. I think we’re managing to keep a really healthy balance in all of this. Also, we really can admit when our ideas weren’t the best. (and keeping QSS separate really wasn’t the best, I can now admit). Thank you very much for reading this. And also a big thank you to Steve Jobs, the legend who inspired us to go down this path of thinking differently and designing for the best customer experience. Oh, yes. And we’re having a Youtube LIVE event soon. Sign up here to learn about the dates, how you can join and make sure you’ll have your private spot at the virtual event.

An amazing Year in the Review. Talking about the new Expectation Marketing Book, Next Level Marketing AI, AI Talks AI, the 10 New Courses about AI in Education Cloud PLUS, Hide My WP Ghost by Squirrly, Squirrly SEO: Newton and Starbox PRO v2.

I spent 2 days creating a bilibili account, going through lots of registrations and account issues, but it was super worth it.

I can’t believe this game is free! I would easily pay $60 USD for this level of quality.

The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is addictive and it’s just super fun.

It’s also cool that units use “attack of opportunity” just like in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, which can help you plan better positioning on the field. You can stack lots of damage multiples, by creating opportunities for your troops to take more shots at the enemy units.

I had high hopes for this game (which is why I wasted so much time trying everything possible to get access), because I loved Girls Frontline 1.

These developers make some pretty amazing games.

Oh, and Chinese is not a problem, when you have Google Lens. I play on PC and use the mobile device for Google Lens to make the translations in real-time.
