Hey Sam,
If you are referring to the auto-messages that we can setup here on the WA server, then the following tutorial may offer you the help you seek: How to Set Up Customized Messages for WA Referrals Hope this helps you.
Go to the top and click on the $ icon. In the dropdown, click on message campaigns.
There you will see a link for default messages that are sent to new referrals by Kyle and Carson. Click on their link to open their messages.
Below that is a My Campagin block.
Click on My Campaign to write your own message.
Look at the basic welcome message and form your own welcome message. Now you will have a link to share for your new referrals.
Go search at the top using magnify glass and look for Campaign message or some variant that will explain further.
I learned two different ways and if I try to explain I might confuse the two....grin.

Hey guys.
So I wanted to find out if web diretories are still considered a key part of SEO these days.
If so, can someone give me an example of where to find one?</
Hey Sam,
For local businesses and when done PERFECTLY, yes, directories DO provide quality backlinks.
However, if you do not keep the NAP (name,address, and phone) exactly the same on EVERY listing, including the website, then you may find that you are wasting your time.
Hope you find this helpful.

You can find the answer in Big G, it says probably not effect SEO. Big G penalizes people if they use it for ranking it does nothing of that sort.
Like the article below states has no value for SEO. Some use it for linking purposes but I rather obey Big G, Bing and Yahoo do it the white hat way. Since the links to web directories tend to get very spamming. I will not use it for any purpose while some swear that it still works today but experts are saying it's not efficient for 2021 and beyond.
Search Engine Journal has an article about his subject and list of such Directories at: https://www.searchenginejournal.com/web-directories-list/287799/#close
Some of these may actually be of value in building your website's reputation and rankings. I will do more research into this and it will result in a new article for my own website, as I think this has promise.
As I researched this, the answer is both yes and no. Yes, if you are promoting something like a Restaurant and then a local directory of restaurants and some work on Google maps would help. No, if you are talking about most general sites, as no one uses general directories anymore, they use search engines, and then it is mainly Google. Google penalizes directory listings as well, so they may actually damage your site's reputation and rankings.
So, if they make sense for your niche and products, use them, but for most people, they are not a good idea.
For such physical places as stores, Doctor's Offices, and restaurants, the Google Local directories and maps are definitely a YES!

Hey guys.
I've been told it's a good idea to put my keyword phrase within an image in my posts.
Just to make sure I'm doing this correct, let's say I three images,
Hey Sam,
Here's a post detailing what I do: How to SEO Your Website Images If it's a confused lady, my file name would remain as detailed in my post, but my ALT Tag would literally state something like "image of a confused lady".
Hope you find this helpful.
I like your rank, Sam! All 1s! I'd take a screen shot of that, but I am just silly that way!
Jeff
Haha. Thanks Jeff ;) yea I think that means the universe is telling me I’m number 1! I’ll take it.
On the featured image place your exact keyword
on all your other images just say whatever they are.... do not stuff keywords it's bad.
A good question Sam.
Alt text is the place to add your keyword... if relevant to the image.
I don't add it to images where it doesn't make sense. I usually construct it as: "keyword: image description".
:-)
Richard
I get it. So if you put a picture of an angry bird and your keyword was angry birds attack you might do something like: "Angry birds attacks: picture of an angry bird"
Am I getting it right?
Thanks, Richard.
