[00:00]
Strategy Overview

The host introduces parasite SEO for local queries, emphasizing its effectiveness for lead generation and ranking.

[00:45]
Finding Keywords with Ahrefs

Use Ahrefs to filter organic keywords: set max position 50, filter by 'not on SERP' and 'local pack', then add city and modifier like 'best'.

[01:30]
Example: Dallas Keywords

Applying the filter for Dallas with 'best' yields 441 keywords. Sort by volume to find high-value opportunities like 'best nails Dallas'.

[02:15]
Manual SERP Analysis

Check each keyword manually. 'Best Nails Dallas' is dominated by an EMD and GMB, making it hard to compete. 'Best carpet cleaners Dallas' shows Angie's List with sponsored listings but no map pack, making it a good target.

[03:30]
Evaluating Competitors

'Best builders in Dallas' has a map pack and DM Magazine ranking. Despite competition, high lead value makes it worth targeting with variations. 'Best new restaurants Dallas' has Reddit ranking; good for hospitality clients.

[04:45]
Avoiding Strong Competitors

'Best movers in Dallas' has Forbes ranking, making it difficult to outrank. Recommend avoiding such keywords unless using higher DR parasites.

Using ParasiteSEO.com Tool

hey guys what's up it's Charles float here and welcome back to the channel and I am literally just going to jump straight into this video because I am not a local SEO expert but I want to give you the exact strategy on how you can use parasite SEO pages to dominate local SEO queries for your clients for your own companies for lead generation for ranking rent and for all sorts of additional business and SEO practices now

most people do not understand how parasite SEO can be used for local SEO I even get some of the biggest influencers in the world asking me this question so the first thing that you're going to need to do is find one of the gigantic site that is routinely ranking in your city or in your Niche and go in put it into a tool like AHS I like AHS because it allows you to do what I'm about

to do so I'm going to click on the organic keyword here go to positions put in maximum 50 on the positions I'm going to go to Ser features I'm going to then click not on Ser it's very very important that you click not on serp then I'm going to click the local pack that means that when you are looking in the top few positions for a Sur either the local map pack isn't coming up straight away

or it's coming up under you know number three number five number two something along those lines which is absolutely perfect for what we we're going to do with parasite SEO I'm going to then click apply then I'm going to click more filters keywords and then I'm going to click I'm going to put my city in for this specific example I'm going to go with Dallas I'm going to click another Rule and then I'm going to go

with best and bear in mind you can be very creative with the types and variations of keywords that you use in this methodology but I'm just going to go with best here because it's the default that everybody can use and then you click apply and then you're going to go show results and that's going to narrow our results down from 22 million keywords to 441 different keywords and straight away there are multiple absolutely fantastic keywords that

we can go through here and look at like Best Nails Dallas best carpet cleaners Dallas all sorts of things but the main thing that I want to do is go and sort by volume because that's going to give me the biggest keywords straight away to Target so that I can really take over and generate some traffic and generate Roi with my parasite SEO campaigns locally okay now that we have a few different queries that we can

go and put into Google I want to go and manually look them up and see if they're actually worth our while to be able to rank for and the very first one that we put in is Best Nails Dallas and I can see straight away that this EMD domain and the GMP on the right means that this company has essentially taken this keyword as their entity and re repurpose the entire serup just to be about their

company so I don't think that this keyword is going to be a great fit for us because I don't think that we're going to be able to very easily realign the intent of this Ser away from this EMD and this brand however something that is very interesting is when you put in best carpet cleaners Dallas is that Angie's List which is another site which is a fantastic way to get keywords within ahfs for your cups and

keyword research and different sites and clients this specific setup comes up with the sponsored listings but it doesn't have any map packs in the entire of the first page a lot of Surs are going to come up with these sponsored listings but bear in mind that depending on the mobile device depending on if they're using ad blockers and depending on all sorts of different things this might not show and a lot of users don't like looking

at the sponsored ads anyway and I know that this can be pretty difficult to know if it's sponsored or not especially if you're dealing with kind of the older generation and audience however it's still a fantastic and I way to generate traffic and I guarantee you even if you do have these three sponsor M packs here that you will be able to generate clicks and traffic to your listing so I would still Target this keyword I

would just not expect you to be able to get the full amount of the search volume that you have in ahfs the next keyword is best builders in Dallas and again this comes up with a three listing map pack in the sponsored type however it comes up with DM magazine.com which is another parasite that we could actually be using but this is their directory specifically and you can actually buy guest posters on DM magazine.com so we

don't really want to be using a going into a serup where we already see another parasite ranking however we could potentially use this up because Builders construction anything really in that Niche is absolutely massive and single leads can be worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in Revenue so the specific lead itself could be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars to the right client so I would Target this specific keyword but I would use some

some variations of different uh pages and I would likely look for some additional keywords not just trying to Target this individual one and we would try and get a parasite or parasites ideally that are higher than the current d magazine listing that's already ranking here then we have best new restaurants Dallas which is absolutely interesting that this is even ranking here we see Reddit already ranking we see a number of other interesting sites ranking here but

again if you have got clients if you've got customers if you've got your own businesses and you are dealing with the restaurant or hospitality industry ranking number one for the hottest new restaurants in Dallas could mean the difference between packing out that restaurant on Tuesday night or not according to Gordon Ramsey right Best movers in Dallas this is the final key that we're going to be looking at and this is absolutely an a keyword that I

probably wouldn't be targeting just because number one you've got the sponsored M pack number two you have Forbes already ranking here which means any specific parasites that we're going to be building for this keyword we don't we uh will have to be trying to build on a bigger Dr or a higher Dr or a higher authority than Forbes and that is a very difficult thing to do so I do not recommend that you go straight into

this sub the one benefit is that Wildcat movers is here but this site does seem to have a fair amount of authority so we would want to do some additional research and see if there's other variations of the keyword that are also coming up with the map packs in third and if that means that they are then it could be a keyword that we want to Target but again just because Forbes is ranking there it likely

means that we're going to have to have parasites that are significantly higher Dr and there just aren't that many that are higher Dr than Forbes right okay so now that we have some keywords we can Target usually what you would do is put them into Google do loads of manual analysis compare them to the sites in your database reach out to the sites and see which sites are best fitting for your specific keywords however that takes

hours and hours of research time effort and it generally wastes that time and money what I'm going to recommend and I'm going to be slightly biased here is that you go to parasit seo.com and yes this is currently in beta and I'm going to explain what the beta is going to change into in a little second however you're going to put your keyword straight into the tool and the main thing that you're going to do here

is you can go into your city and you can actually change it to your local city so I can go ahead and put in Dallas comma Texas and it's going to come up with Dallas Texas here I can click it and we can actually analyze the keyword even get even more localization for that query however what I'm going to do straight away with this query here is I'm going to go over to the current parasit that

it has and it says we have fre par uh seven free parasites ranking and three paid ones already in the serup and we can see straight away like I said number one a partial match for a paid parasite it's a partial match because it's not the normal DM magazine sponsored articles it's the directory subdomain so it's not a full match for the for the ACT parasite however what is going to change is the actual categorization system

over here on the right hand side So currently the way this works is that it's going to categorize it with Texas as the primary category and then the secondary categories are going to be architecture and construction Real Estate and Home and Garden so it's going to categorize all of the parasites in our database and it's going to say which are the most uh which are the most authoritative free and paid parasites depending on your plan currently

I'm using the monster plan over here in here which is $189 a month currently with the beta and that gets you access to 10 paid parasite opportunities per serp and 20 free parasite opportunities now what will change after beta is the categorization system so this is going to change and be even more refined so instead of it saying Texas local it will go all the way down to Dallas and it will potentially even have more categorization

around construction and all the other things as well so you get even better and even more refined results but currently you can still use this to get absolutely insane results for both free and paid parasites so I highly highly recommend you go and use this exact formula test out building a few parasites and start taking over some local Surs like you never knew you were able to do before I'll see you guys the next video peace
