Would It Be Possible To Outrank Major Directory Sites Since They Don't Have Strong On-Page SEO?

In episode 254 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ro_E1MzLEI) , one participant asked if it is possible to outrank major directory sites since they don't have strong on-page SEO for each location. The exact question was: Hi Guys, . . . Thank you VERY much again for your Hump Day help (smile) . . . I know you've said that local organic seo is harder now mainly because of the major local Directories dominating the first page, but, if you wanted to rank your own multi-location local Directory site with strong on-page seo as well as ""normal"" off-page seo, would it be possible to outrank the major Directly sites since they may not have strong on-page seo for each location and may or may not do extensive off-page seo either? #localseo #seostrategy #directorysites More videos about SEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20AURKe0smg&list=PL1oO3mUVEcfpUc753HsfSJpvv4bicf5_M More videos about SEO Questions Answered on Hump Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYv44gXnC68&list=PL1oO3mUVEcfo33kNReI6LwcM3MfgGoVpm Start with the Battleplan - your "Art of War" Playbook that combines decades of distilled SEO Experience and Cutting Edge Practices: https://ift.tt/2rmHAjA Ready to start OR grow profitable local digital marketing agency?
