The insights on SEO for creatives are spot on. To add, when generating leads, consider leveraging 'topic clusters' for your content strategy. This means creating a series of interlinked articles or pages centered around one main theme; this will significantly boost your site's authority on that subject in search engines.
Oh, good to know! Do you find that with a bunch of interlinked pages around one main theme, it boosts the overall number of visitors even when you recently started? Or does it take a while for it to compound over time?
Content Silos These are fun, please allow me to add to this: There's a subtitle heiarcy within each article/blog. It's easiest to think of these silos in the same manner. Considering the top point of the silo is usually a money post. Those below follow the same idea along the journey. Each tier within the silo is an area along this journey towards that money post. Topical silos all share a main focus, but the long tail version of it is what makes it slightly different. Keep in mind, duplicate content is a gray area. So make sure it's different enough to not be in the gray area.
This is my first time watching Jule Kim. I really appreciate the way she shared. Not like other coach I had seen in the past. I felt like she gave us all of her knowledge and experience without hesitation. I would love to take her 3 hours SEO course if she's doing one in the near future 🌸🙏
This is the best resource on this topic that I’ve ever seen. Full stop. Jule, you’re a freaking saint for sharing this with everyone in such a clear way.
Thank you so much! As a complete beginner who has stayed away from all this because I used to get so overwhelmed, I got SO MUCH VALUE. And more importantly, it has made me ready to take the first steps.
This conversation is so valuable. THANK YOU Chris and Jule! I've been struggling to learn SEO for about a year now but Jule explained it in a way that is easily understandable and now, all of the dots are finally connecting for me. This is the best conversation I've heard all year 🔥🔥🔥

Mind boggling. I keep getting all these SEO companies reach out to me with a proposal. This masterclass, a word i feel is overused so i rarely use it, informed and educated me on so much. Thnks for the excellent info and content. You may not realize it but this is absolutely invaluable for startups
Chris and Jule, Can't thank you enough for this one. Jule says at the end that it's a weird podcast, but i totally disagree. She has offered so much detailed insight from the foundations of SEO and content marketing to the finer details that it's nothing less than a treasure chest for a SEO noob like me. Behind her 'lake placid' facade there is such a brilliant mind at work! I'm totally sold on Jule - gonna listen to any stuff that she talks about, even if it might not be relevant to my work. Chris, your periodical recap and paraphrasing also helped to grasp the matter much better. Can't tell you how many times I have gone back and listened again word by word, taking notes all along. Thanks a ton once again to both of you. Look forward to more such invaluable podcasts from you all the time
This is the most comprehensive and best single source on SEO that I've ever found! I followed the topic for years and Jule gives a brilliant and actionable overview that is insightful without being overly complicated. Great job!!
This taught me a lot, i will be rewatching this and i will get my content out more to be found and stop worrying about trying to make everything perfect. thank you once again for the knowledge and testimonials
This typer of content is so relatable: smart person, smart product, smart strategies, and overall good advice. I can't wait to input this into my AI-database.
This is a very interesting video not a a boring interview. This is what brings money to business, it is matter of understanding what is the language here so it's only people who knows something about Seo. Very important interview, I didn't blink
She is so generous with the insights and authentic professional! I appreciate discovering Jules! I empathize with the discomfort she must feel from conversing with someone who doesn't reciprocate the same amount of appreciation and respect for what she's giving. She's amazing for handling it well, but it's unpleasant that this continues to happen to brilliant and generous people. Attention to detail remains a threat to others even today, and efficiency is somehow punished.
I didn’t find anything disrespectful about the interview: they have great chemistry as business associates and friends, and say so themselves as f you took time to watch all three interviews with them.
this is going to be my favourite episode. I love how into details she is going, and how specific the examples are. I really am fan of this kind of content (as an accountant) - but I will definetely watch it more than once - to fully understand it.

This video is sorely needed. Nobody is googling brand strategists. We need to think semantically and provide valuable, structured data code to your website that target keywords relative to your service offering.The futur could benefit from doing more SEO related topics.
I have put a few keywords within my website but i didn't want to add too many so google search engine wouldn't blacklist my website as spam, because i'm spaming keywords in my website. Non the less, i can't see much difference. hardly any emails or calls.
Do you rank on any of these keywords? As in, do you show up on page 1 of Google for them? As long as you’re using keywords that are actually relevant to what you do or sell, there is no such thing as being blacklisted as spam. Being blacklisted would be if you did shady a$$ stuff, like putting 200 keywords in the same color as the background color on one page, etc.
With generating leads, it's an interesting thing to note down for creatives such as myself. I only started thinking about lead generation about a year into my other creative project and that's when I started getting flooded with emails from a lot of folks after that solid year of building a rep. Here's a pro tip for any creatives struggling with leads: reach out to PR firms as they have a lot of local reach in multiple niches. Build a spreadsheet of PR firms to reach out to and slowly do that over time.
Only been skimming through this video (before finding uninterrupted time to watch)... super useful information for freelancers and small startup studios to know and implement ASAP! 👍
Just to add to this great video. The method explained within this video to find keywords would and do also work with other search engines as well. Also by using more than 1 search engine or tool like ahrefs for example. It allows you to integrate and repurpose. Take care
Ok, wow! This is probably one of the best and most useful content on this channel for us creatives. I'm in the process of updating my website and creating a marketing funnel for the first time in my career. I'm so glad I came across this video today. Thank you two for sharing such valuable knowledge.
Thank you Chris for saying that your brain is melting while listening to this teaching segment pertaining to SEO. Makes me feel like I’m not alone in this. Bless you man. 😅
Best SEO and keyword explanation for me so far. Thank you so much!!!! So much knowledge in one hour. Effective and productive. I was changing my keywords and searching for job titles while listening to you guys. Thanks!!!
This is one of the most epic episodes. I'm watching it 3 times. Taking notes. Pausing the vid and applying the knowledge. Please keep Jules coming back
I love this woman and love this man. This is the representation of exactly how painful the seo journey is 😂 - thank you for taking it for the team and sharing this helpful knowledge ❤
This I am putting it on repeat . thank you Its the first time am understanding SEO or even key words as a person who is not an expert and trying to work on my website and content alone without experience. so Thank you
Amazing Content? I’ve been able to do the low hanging fruit SEO for my page - Now I’m diving in deeper and this has really heaped :) Thanks Guys… Can a member of the Futur please tell me what Chris’s Talking head camera and lens set-up is? Panasonic?
@@thefutur Wow!!! The Gh4 :) Love That Camera!!! Old school :) Would it be ok if I made a TH-cam Video about that? How Chris still uses the Gh4 in 2024? I think a lot of aspiring content creators would love to see you don't need the latest and greatest gear to make content :)
Thank you so much for this episodes Chris and Jules! As a new digital marketing agency owner I have learned a lot for me and my clients and even my other businesses. What an episode!
@@julekim Your examples are on point. I've consume many sources from blogs, videos about everything you said, but your examples really became my AHA moment. Now I understand the framework of starting the strategy. Oh and your explanation about Cold, Warm, and Hot Market especially the Cold Market on Top Funnel, it's what I found very useful. Because too many sources describes it too broadly (or maybe I still haven't found it yet), vaguely, but your term "triggering events" is PERFECT for me to understand. Thank you so much
I loved her easy to understand examples and analogies. This really helped me develop a structure in my head to approach my current seo issues. Thank you so much.
I began to teach myself how to use the free seo tools to look at creating a better niche. Then I began figuring out how to have ChatGPT help me outline posts with relevant keywords. This also helped me better understand blog post formatting as I really wasn’t taking advantage of that. Then I began rewriting my sales funnel on the site. None of this is really live. More like a longer project I work on in the background. I thrive on step by step processes with examples I can reverse engineer. This vid helped me really translate real world language into web relevant formatting and traffic improvements thanks!
This was such an insightful episode that delivers more value than any other video I've ever consumed on SEO. Jule explained the tactical aspects in such clear and concise ways that I actually feel like I can take action RIGHT NOW. Total win for those who watch. Grateful to have found your content, Chris + The Futur 🙌❤🙏
I’m gonna be honest as a digital marketing specialist I was frustrated we had to tone things down and make things easier for beginners and newbies half way thru. I was getting a ton of value
2x things.. - domain authority is not a Google given score - it comes from third party platforms that give you an idea of how "good" your website is. It is mainly influencer by how good backlinks are and from what niche relevant sources provide these backlinks. - Toxic or spammy backlinks are no longer penalised - they get ignored - so you can't "harm" a competitor website by building crap backlinks. Just an FYI
16:39 then money keywords I think she's referring to Transactional Keywords. In search there's navigational, informational and transactional keywords. I like how she phrased it as money keywords it actually makes more sense and easier remember.
@@julekim at 52:28 you nailed it! We say this in a more condensed way on our website. The audience we work with is high-performing real estate agents. As real estate agents, they constantly educate their clients on the importance of owning real estate and why there's more long-term value in owning real estate as opposed to renting; however, when it comes to digital real estate, a lot of real estate agents are "renting" a room on Instagram. What if the "landlord" (Meta) decides to kick them out of their rented apartment (their profile) or if it gets hacked? By owning your own digital real estate (your own website) you have a full digital home with multiple rooms where your customers can learn about you and stay longer. They can build "equity" in their digital real estate through SEO. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you touch up on that. Glad to hear that someone else sees it the same way. My question is, translating that message to real estate agents who believe that Instagram is the way to go and is enough for them.
An episode that is very, very, very hard to digest...and SEO needs to be updated. SEO is evolving as AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude, Perplexity replace traditional search engines. We now focus on AI-driven search and Conversational Optimization, tailoring content for how people naturally speak and interact with AI. This includes Prompt Optimization to get better responses from AI models. Overall, it’s about adapting content to fit AI’s way of processing and retrieving information. WWDC is approaching, and ChatGPT will be on every iPhone/iPad. So yeah...I couldn't keep up with this episode, Chris.
This is such a valuable episode. You were totally right, it may have not been a "sexy listen" LOL but it was certainly great who are serious about *the work*. Thank you for all those practical tips! Let's get to work!
Learning - Creatives need to understand SEO in order to be successful online. There are three foundational principles of SEO: content, speed, and popularity. Creatives need to create high-quality content that is relevant to their target audience. Creatives need to make sure that their websites load quickly. Creatives need to get other websites to link to their website. Creatives need to do keyword research to identify the keywords that their target audience is using to search for them online.
Would you like to attend a 3 hour workshop w/ @julekim on SEO?
Yes please!! This was great! Thank you!!
Yes! Yes yes!
I'd like to know more about this!
yes please
Yes please 🙏🏿
This is possibly the best content I've ever heard of on SEO, Funnels, Trust and website creation.
Wow! What a masterclass!
Glad you think so!
It's good they're are still creators like him who puts out information for free when there are 'grifters' who wants a dollar everytime they speak
The insights on SEO for creatives are spot on. To add, when generating leads, consider leveraging 'topic clusters' for your content strategy. This means creating a series of interlinked articles or pages centered around one main theme; this will significantly boost your site's authority on that subject in search engines.
Oh, good to know! Do you find that with a bunch of interlinked pages around one main theme, it boosts the overall number of visitors even when you recently started? Or does it take a while for it to compound over time?
@@thelifewithnateit always takes time, unless your topic keyword already has searches but you’re the only one building the content for it.
this could be a good use of the Obsidian note taking tool.
The visual node graph tool would be lit if used for Web and content cross-linking
Content Silos
These are fun, please allow me to add to this:
There's a subtitle heiarcy within each article/blog. It's easiest to think of these silos in the same manner.
Considering the top point of the silo is usually a money post. Those below follow the same idea along the journey. Each tier within the silo is an area along this journey towards that money post.
Topical silos all share a main focus, but the long tail version of it is what makes it slightly different.
Keep in mind, duplicate content is a gray area. So make sure it's different enough to not be in the gray area.
This lady blew the roof off. By far the most insigtful and actionable content on youtube. Great interview Chris.

I love the way Jule breaks it down to simple to understand language. It’s obvious that’s she is a highly skilled communicator.
Best compliment ever, thank you so much ☺️
My God. A whole MASTERCLASS. Pages full of notes. Thanks for offering this insight!

I've listened to the podcast for this vid like 3 times already and I'm still getting value from it haha
Love this episode! Your breakdown of different keyword types, including money keywords, was awesome.
Glad you liked it!

I'm curious
I have a marketing agency and we help people with Seo so I find this a very educational interview for agencies
This is a very interesting video not a a boring interview. This is what brings money to business, it is matter of understanding what is the language here so it's only people who knows something about Seo. Very important interview, I didn't blink
France says: "This is dope SEO Material!" 🇫🇷. Thx Jule & Chris for all this value.
The
thank you, Ken.

She's amazing for handling it well, but it's unpleasant that this continues to happen to brilliant and generous people. Attention to detail remains a threat to others even today, and efficiency is somehow punished.
I feel exactly the same way! She was wonderful and generous in such an awkward and disrespectful interview.
I didn’t find anything disrespectful about the interview: they have great chemistry as business associates and friends, and say so themselves as f you took time to watch all three interviews with them.
Jules has great perspective on SEO. I'll use some of this for my own client SEO process.
I learned so much from this video... like a LOT. Thank you!
this is going to be my favourite episode. I love how into details she is going, and how specific the examples are.
I really am fan of this kind of content (as an accountant) - but I will definetely watch it more than once - to fully understand it.
I BEEN TAKING NOTES this whole time in Google Docs. THANK YOU for such an enriching video!
Nice! If you don’t mind me asking, what are some parts that stand out in your notes?
Wow, such a great episode, guys!

Great work, guys. The best content on SEO that I have ever learnt. Thank you Kim and Chris for making such a valuable content.
Jule Kim FTW
This video is sorely needed. Nobody is googling brand strategists. We need to think semantically and provide valuable, structured data code to your website that target keywords relative to your service offering.The futur could benefit from doing more SEO related topics.
💯
I have put a few keywords within my website but i didn't want to add too many so google search engine wouldn't blacklist my website as spam, because i'm spaming keywords in my website. Non the less, i can't see much difference. hardly any emails or calls.
Do you rank on any of these keywords? As in, do you show up on page 1 of Google for them? As long as you’re using keywords that are actually relevant to what you do or sell, there is no such thing as being blacklisted as spam. Being blacklisted would be if you did shady a$$ stuff, like putting 200 keywords in the same color as the background color on one page, etc.
With generating leads, it's an interesting thing to note down for creatives such as myself. I only started thinking about lead generation about a year into my other creative project and that's when I started getting flooded with emails from a lot of folks after that solid year of building a rep.
Here's a pro tip for any creatives struggling with leads: reach out to PR firms as they have a lot of local reach in multiple niches. Build a spreadsheet of PR firms to reach out to and slowly do that over time.
Great tip! Find clients that work with your clients.
I watch this video every few weeks and come away with a deeper insight each time 😊. Stellar content! 💯
Amazing.
Wow! How many times have you watched this?
Five times so far!
@@sirenblog2583 I am so impressed!
32:33 this is a such great example of how the sales funnel actually works.
Amazing stuff. Thank you!!
We need a part 2!
I’m down for it 😊
Im in the process of brainstorming content ideas for SEO. The timing of this episode was perfect
Let me know what you do or sell and what kind of content ideas you want to target!
Exactly! Adding meta data and organizing the long content with headings do help a lot.
She is brilliant! I would love her to offer a course! I am saving this to refer to it later when I can take notes. So many gems!
Thank you, I really appreciate you! I’m going to put together a live workshop over 4 weeks, if you’re interested ☺️
I’m so signing up for your soon-to-be-released SEO course for creatives.
Only been skimming through this video (before finding uninterrupted time to watch)... super useful information for freelancers and small startup studios to know and implement ASAP! 👍
This is a great master class.
bin watch your content and this is the best one so far -
That’s why I think having a niche is better. Trying to target for general words like “Digital marketing” is tough ask.
💯💯💯 something like “Seattle headshot photographer” > “photographer.” Good luck trying to rank on the second one.
Amazing info! Thank you both❤
Just to add to this great video.
The method explained within this video to find keywords would and do also work with other search engines as well. Also by using more than 1 search engine or tool like ahrefs for example. It allows you to integrate and repurpose.
Take care
this wasn't "nerdy". It was incredibly insightful; tons of valuable information. Thank u :)
Ok, wow! This is probably one of the best and most useful content on this channel for us creatives. I'm in the process of updating my website and creating a marketing funnel for the first time in my career. I'm so glad I came across this video today. Thank you two for sharing such valuable knowledge.
Perfect! How is it going with your website?
This is so good. Especially uploading the image for Google ranking & adding dets. Wouldn’t have thought about this effective & efficient solution.
Thank you Chris for saying that your brain is melting while listening to this teaching segment pertaining to SEO. Makes me feel like I’m not alone in this. Bless you man. 😅
Haha I blame Chris! He was like, you drive this. I was like, whaaaaat 😅
Best SEO and keyword explanation for me so far. Thank you so much!!!! So much knowledge in one hour. Effective and productive. I was changing my keywords and searching for job titles while listening to you guys. Thanks!!!
So much great knowledge. This was Gold.
Glad it was helpful!
This was a great video and not weird or confusing, Jule also came very prepared
Thank you 😊
Agreed.
It felt a bit complex for me at first, but it got better the more I listened and got the full picture
Bless you Jule !
This is one of the most epic episodes. I'm watching it 3 times. Taking notes. Pausing the vid and applying the knowledge. Please keep Jules coming back
This video is gold thank you
I love this woman and love this man. This is the representation of exactly how painful the seo journey is 😂 - thank you for taking it for the team and sharing this helpful knowledge ❤
You're so welcome!
This I am putting it on repeat . thank you Its the first time am understanding SEO or even key words as a person who is not an expert and trying to work on my website and content alone without experience. so Thank you
Glad to hear
This was an amazing CRASH COURSE - BOOT CAMP style experience. You are both such a great, calm, forces
!
Thank you
Great info thank you both!
Amazing Content? I’ve been able to do the low hanging fruit SEO for my page - Now I’m diving in deeper and this has really heaped :) Thanks Guys… Can a member of the Futur please tell me what Chris’s Talking head camera and lens set-up is? Panasonic?
Yes. LUMIX gh4, sigma art lens.
@@thefutur Wow!!! The Gh4 :) Love That Camera!!! Old school :) Would it be ok if I made a TH-cam Video about that? How Chris still uses the Gh4 in 2024? I think a lot of aspiring content creators would love to see you don't need the latest and greatest gear to make content :)
Thank you so much for this episodes Chris and Jules! As a new digital marketing agency owner I have learned a lot for me and my clients and even my other businesses. What an episode!
Perfect! What were some pieces you found helpful?
@@julekim Your examples are on point. I've consume many sources from blogs, videos about everything you said, but your examples really became my AHA moment. Now I understand the framework of starting the strategy. Oh and your explanation about Cold, Warm, and Hot Market especially the Cold Market on Top Funnel, it's what I found very useful. Because too many sources describes it too broadly (or maybe I still haven't found it yet), vaguely, but your term "triggering events" is PERFECT for me to understand. Thank you so much
Great to hear!
@@thepursuitofbarakah I'm glad it was useful!
Very intensive, best explanation of SEO break down I’ve seen on TH-cam!
Thank you for the huge compliment!
So…. That’s what geeking looks like😊 cheers and much gratitude 🙏
I loved her easy to understand examples and analogies. This really helped me develop a structure in my head to approach my current seo issues. Thank you so much.
Nice! Mind if I ask what you’ve changed so far?
I began to teach myself how to use the free seo tools to look at creating a better niche. Then I began figuring out how to have ChatGPT help me outline posts with relevant keywords. This also helped me better understand blog post formatting as I really wasn’t taking advantage of that. Then I began rewriting my sales funnel on the site. None of this is really live. More like a longer project I work on in the background. I thrive on step by step processes with examples I can reverse engineer. This vid helped me really translate real world language into web relevant formatting and traffic improvements thanks!
This was such an insightful episode that delivers more value than any other video I've ever consumed on SEO. Jule explained the tactical aspects in such clear and concise ways that I actually feel like I can take action RIGHT NOW. Total win for those who watch. Grateful to have found your content, Chris + The Futur 🙌❤🙏
This content is pure gold! Thank you!
This is invaluable info
I’m gonna be honest as a digital marketing specialist I was frustrated we had to tone things down and make things easier for beginners and newbies half way thru. I was getting a ton of value
At what point did that happen?
@@thefutur around 30 minute mark
💯 I made a similar comment agreeing with you on this one.
Thank you guys this was super inspiring and enriching. My mind expanded and it’s good to know what to pay attention to in my process
:)
Packed with great information, thank you! I've got a lot of work to do.
Glad it was helpful!
She’s brilliant! Big value episode, thank you so much for this! Cheers from France 🇫🇷
Merci
That was very helpful and very funny ! Exactly how I like to learn. Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hands down one of the best informational podcast.
2x things..
- domain authority is not a Google given score - it comes from third party platforms that give you an idea of how "good" your website is. It is mainly influencer by how good backlinks are and from what niche relevant sources provide these backlinks.
- Toxic or spammy backlinks are no longer penalised - they get ignored - so you can't "harm" a competitor website by building crap backlinks.
Just an FYI
This is fantastic!!! I’m not going to lie, I would have to probably rewatch this cause it was crazy amount of information
16:39 then money keywords I think she's referring to Transactional Keywords. In search there's navigational, informational and transactional keywords. I like how she phrased it as money keywords it actually makes more sense and easier remember.
You got it! I renamed them because no one can remember those terms.
@@julekim I figured! It's easier even for me the way you renamed the terms. Thank you for commenting back!
Always happy when other professionals agree 😊 and of course I would reply - your comment is valuable 👏🏼
@@julekim at 52:28 you nailed it! We say this in a more condensed way on our website. The audience we work with is high-performing real estate agents. As real estate agents, they constantly educate their clients on the importance of owning real estate and why there's more long-term value in owning real estate as opposed to renting; however, when it comes to digital real estate, a lot of real estate agents are "renting" a room on Instagram. What if the "landlord" (Meta) decides to kick them out of their rented apartment (their profile) or if it gets hacked? By owning your own digital real estate (your own website) you have a full digital home with multiple rooms where your customers can learn about you and stay longer. They can build "equity" in their digital real estate through SEO. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you touch up on that. Glad to hear that someone else sees it the same way. My question is, translating that message to real estate agents who believe that Instagram is the way to go and is enough for them.
Jules has made me super excited about SEO! Thanks for this upload. Loved and enjoyed it!
That was incredibly valuable. What a fantastic guest. Thank you both!
Thank you, Paul!
Very informative!! I would have to constantly put pause just because Chris is right, my braid was frying lol but love the content
An episode that is very, very, very hard to digest...and SEO needs to be updated. SEO is evolving as AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude, Perplexity replace traditional search engines. We now focus on AI-driven search and Conversational Optimization, tailoring content for how people naturally speak and interact with AI. This includes Prompt Optimization to get better responses from AI models. Overall, it’s about adapting content to fit AI’s way of processing and retrieving information. WWDC is approaching, and ChatGPT will be on every iPhone/iPad. So yeah...I couldn't keep up with this episode, Chris.
This is such a valuable episode. You were totally right, it may have not been a "sexy listen" LOL but it was certainly great who are serious about *the work*. Thank you for all those practical tips! Let's get to work!
It is gold!!! Thank you so much!✨ workshop with jule? Yes!!!!
Thank you for this amazing class with you and Jule Kim. What powerful communication skills she has. I’m a fan and secretly have a crush. 😅
This is one of your best episodes. Let her talk.
what do you think I was doing?!!
let me just leave the show and use the bathroom. that will make you happier right?
all jokes aside, Thank you. Jule Rocks!
Always happy to do more episodes with Chris!
Crazy to think, you can listen to this and learn it for free! thankyou
Enjoy!
Really really good !
This was brilliant! So clear and helpful. This is the best I've ever heard SEO explained and how it all works together. Thank you.
Great tips! 🙏🏾
When she started talking about people who embarrassed about their website, she’s kinda scared me 😅 Smart
it's because I'm one of those people 🤣
Love the bookshelf background behind you. ❤❤❤
😊 thank you
