[01:08] When trying to rank for those terms, they did not create pages specifically for them.
[01:25] Eric has created hundreds of pages for Single Grain, but the majority do not rank well; it’s a quantity game.
[01:34] There was no difference between the pages that ranked and those that did not.
[01:47] Neil and Eric create a massive amount of content, because it’s a hit or miss game.There is no guarantee that the content will be a hit.
[02:31] For the posts that rank, they have a process that involves Google Search Console.

[03:08] Step 2: Go to the Search Analytics section.
[03:17] Step 3: Click on three buttons/check boxes on the top left (“CTR”, “Impressions”, and “Clicks”).
[03:36] Step 4: Click on the radio button for “Pages”.
