E872: Most "experts" say SEO takes 12 months to work. Sarvesh Shrivastava, today's guest, shows that for local businesses, that's flat-out wrong.

With the right structure, foundation, and targeting, you can realistically hit $100K/month in under 90 days using SEO - but almost everyone gets the strategy completely wrong.

Here's what you'll learn: - Why 90% of local businesses focus on the wrong things - The "money page" formula that prints revenue - How to optimize your Google Business Profile for maximum lead flow - Real images vs. AI/stock (and why using AI photos may kill trust) - How to structure your site for topical authority (homepage → services → blogs → services) - The internal linking trick that skyrocketed rankings in 7 days - How to build high-impact backlinks (and why most are a waste) - The right way to scale SEO across neighborhoods without triggering Google's doorway page penalties - Why AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI mode pull directly from your GBP

If you're a local business owner, marketing manager, or SEO aiming for aggressive growth… this episode shows you the fastest legitimate way to scale.
