Hello Patrick, how are you? I am not only here to announce who's the winner, I'm actually here about to select the winner of the SEO FOMO 5K Challenge because I'll be using Uh, the raffle giveaway tool, um, that I've been using for the registration process and everything that is called Shortstack that allows me to just click and yeah, randomly select someone from the 646 people who have actually registered to the SEO FOMO 5K Challenge. So this is the good news, somehow not all the people who are subscribed to the newsletter actually subscribe to the challenge. So More chances for you, to all of you, to win the big SEO package, big SEO, yeah, tools package giveaway prize. So yeah, I'm like very looking forward and very excited to be able to select it today. So just to start a little bit more the conversation, and just before that, I want to thank Jeff Kennedy from Cybulb and also Nicole Ponce from Semrush, who are joining me today. They are, apart from these 2 tools, who are also sponsors of the SEO FOMO 5K Challenge. Hello, Nicole.

Hi, everybody.

How are you?

Hello.

Thanks for having us, Aleyda.

No, thank you for, for coming. Uh, I really appreciate your support in the SEO FOMO 5K Challenge. And before actually selecting, uh, the winner, I wanted to go a little bit through all of the tools that will be select— will be included in the package, right? So, um, I, I want to start a little bit to, uh, what will be included in the 1-year Guru with Traffic Analytics, right, account from Semrush that will be provided. This is priced at $2,299.40. You know, I had actually to do the math because, you, you know, I know the price like I'm per month but not for, for, for the whole year. So, can you please let us know a little bit more, Nicole?

Sure. So, this is actually something we've never done. We, the most we give out has been 3 months. So, 1 year of a Guru plan for free is amazing. So, whoever's getting this is a lucky, lucky girl, gal. Additionally, the traffic analytics is always great. It's an add-on tool. So, it's $200 extra which is awesome and One of the updates that we've had is on our position tracking and our traffic analytics. So the cannibalization report as health score has been updated. And now you can get an audience insight report, which goes deeper into the volumes of how much it's been shared and seen, like your unique visitors. So I hope you guys enjoy all these new updates. And we're having some more new tools almost to be launched for our content marketing. So for anybody that's content marketing out there, It's going to be great to have this on your tools.

And these are tools that will be included, uh, for the Guru account, right?

Yes. So you probably get a little bit up to almost getting a Business tool, just not mostly. So you get all the benefits and all the tools included.

That is awesome. Can you please explain a little bit this additional traffic analytics, right, that I understand is also something relatively new? So maybe you want to explain it a little bit further.

Sure. So our traffic analytics is probably the most used tool that we have, and it gives you the insights of all the traffic on your website. So seeing where any, any traffic comes in through, uh, who's looking, your audience, and who's coming from your, um, audience sites and all that sort in the US, UK, um, all regions. So it's really helpful. Nice.

Nice. Well, well, let's see who's the lucky winner, the person who will make the most out of all of this awesomeness. And I am, I have to say that I have access also to a Guru account at Semrush and it's literally one of those tools that I use on a day-to-day basis. Realistically, it's pretty much like this due to all of the functionalities and features that are included. So like very excited for this.

Awesome.

Thanks so much. Thank you, Nicole. And Jeff, how are you? Thank you for—

I'm good, thank you. Thank you for inviting me along.

No, no, thank you. And Sybil to also sponsor the SEO FOMO 5K Challenge with a Sybil Pro subscription that is priced at $420. I have, I have to say, Sybil is for me like this amazing bridge between what you can expect also from a desktop-based SEO crawler, but with this level and layer of functionality that you only see in enterprise-level tools that are actually much more expensive than, than Sybil, right? So for me, it's like a win-win type of tool because of, of the flexibility that it provides and all of the additional layers of features. I know that you have just released the, um, the, the recurrent, uh, schedule type of crawls, right? Like, do you want to talk about it more or anything that you have you want to highlight?

Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's my big job at the moment is getting across, um, the fact that we are going beyond being a crawler, um, and we're trying to add a layer of analysis on and help people get to that end report stage. Um, so, uh, we're trying to not shake off the name of a crawler, but, um, put ourselves across as that wider auditing tool. So we're focused on on-site stuff. We don't do the likes of things that SEMrush do in terms of the keywords and rankings around it. So we're quite focused. But what we have been doing is moving away from just being a straightforward crawler. We've introduced the recurring crawls so you can start comparing against past data and things like that. So that's been a big shift for us. We're trying to— I've tried to say this. We've got everything that you would expect from a normal crawler, but we're getting into some of the new areas for us, uh, coming up, which is going to be really big. Um, schema is something we're working on a lot. Um, so we feel that's going to be a whole new section to the tool, and there seems to be a bit of a gap there, which is a really big one for us. And a few things we've been trying to do for a while, um, quite a few of our customers have been asking us for, like custom extraction and customer search and things like that. Making it even more versatile. We'd like to hope that we tick most of the boxes, but then we've got our power users or whatever you might call them that want to do different stuff, the edge cases. We think we're starting to tick off a lot more of them boxes as well.

Yes. Well, that's certainly very exciting. The structured data, Validation is nowadays a must, I have to say, with the evolution and the role that the implementation of structured data nowadays have more and more in SERP features and the type of visibility you can end up having. Besides, of course, giving more information about the actual meaning of the content to Google at the end of the day, which, yeah, we all want to certainly help to better understand our content in general, I have to say.

say.

So thank you very much, Jeff. As I'm very excited to use it all because I have to say also, Cybulb is this tool that I use every time that I need to do a technical validation. For example, tomorrow I have a client that, uh, will share in their test environment, uh, a migration that is about to be launched. The tool that I will be using to crawl all of the old URLs that will place in the test environment to validate, to check the redirects behavior is Cyborg because I was able to crawl them before and I can easily compare the before and after. For this type of scenarios of a migration, launches, redesigns, they might go to tool.

I should say that was one of the other things that we've done recently, adding more functionality in so you can crawl staging and things like that, which is bit more tricky when you're dealing with cloud-based. So yeah, I keep forgetting all these new things were released.

Yeah, you see? Oh my God, I need to, you know, I am incentivizing you here to market yourself. There is a question from Patrick asking, like, is there API support for tools inside? Do you have API support?

No, we don't. And that's the short answer. It's something we get asked for a lot. We do keep going back look at it. At the moment, it's not one of our imminent developments. We've got quite a few things we want to be working on that before, but we are exploring that sort of thing, or possibly more partnerships-wise, so we can start pulling into other tools. But we're not ruling it out.

Well, little by little. Don't get stressed, please don't get stressed. So before also going ahead and selecting the winner, I wanted to take a little bit of opportunity, um, to also share the rest of the sponsors as it should. Because as you can see here, and you're probably— yes, you see my, my screen— you will be seeing that indeed SEO Monitor, for example, that is the rank tracker that I use on a day-to-day basis, is giving €5,000 worth of credits, which is Amazing. Thank you very much, Cosmin, for this. And this is literally like for, again, enterprise type of scenarios or many projects, many websites, multi-website type of scenarios. This is amazing. Besides the SEMrush, we have also the Guru account. We have, we have also 1 year of Little Warden small team subscription. Uh, Little Warden is amazing for alerts, SEO alerts. You, you want to be on the go. Unfortunately, right now we cannot travel, but whenever we are traveling again, hopefully soon, cross fingers, uh, you want to be able to keep on top of things and receive those alerts whenever someone changes your canonical tag, your hreflang annotations, someone changes something, you know, unexpectedly. And then we also have the 6 months of basic Ryte account also, which is also an amazing tool. I love besides the crawling capability, they have a little bit of everything. They, they, they integrate very well with the Google Search Console reports. 14 and allows you to do, um, monitoring without limitation of, of, uh, updates. So you have a good history there to compare, um, with much more flexibility. And of course, a much better UI with far more flexibility than the one that natively the Google Search Console provides you too. And many other types of validation at a per-page basis and content tool too. One year of Cognitive Cognitive SEO Starter subscription. Cognitive SEO is my go-to tool also for link profile analysis. All the functionalities, the integrations that they provide are mind-blowing. Of course, Hybop that we spoke about before. Content King Pro plan. This is amazing because Content King provides you the SEO alerts in steroids. Literally, you can set some things like I want to get an alert on pages that are indexable, that are into this section, and that have more than X in traffic or are receiving X impressions from the Google Search Console, for example, is amazing. 6 months of a Sistrix account. By the way, now that I am mentioning Sistrix, all of you who have registered to the SEO Formula 5K Challenge, uh, should have already received an email from, uh, Sistrix, uh, giving you already 2 months, 2-3 months of, of the tool, which is already amazing. So the big winner today will be able to get not only 2 months but also 6 months, which is mind-blowing. So very looking forward also to see who's the winner because of this, because it's actually like really, really good. One, your brand mentions. Brand mentions is also part of the Cognitive SEO family. They are targeted to identify mentions of your brand. You want to really monitor your brand out there for reputation, online reputation management type of scenarios and use cases. It's a wonderful tool. 6 months of a Safecon Advanced Plan. I have to say, Safecon is— if you don't know it, go and take a look if you want to analyze on a very in-depth basis the content quality and any type of content-related issues of your website. They have a crawler, but they focus on the analysis of your web architecture, the content of your website, the internal linking of yours. It's amazing. You should definitely give it a look in case you haven't. And again, the winner today will be able to get 6 months from SafeCam, then 6 months of Fandango SEO Pack M, which is also a really, really good, uh, web-based, uh, crawler and also log, uh, analysis tools that again, amazing if you have complex type of web architecture or a complex type of, of configuration across many different websites. 3 months of Rank Ranger basic package. Rank Ranger, I have to say, is the tool that I use actually to monitor the rankings here in YouTube. The video tracking tool is best in the market because they allow you to see the inclusion of carousel for in Google search results, the video carousels, and then also the specific position within the carousel. They show it too. And also the position in YouTube search results for whatever query that you want. It's mind-blowing. And I highly recommend it that you will be able to try it out too for 3 months to have it for 3 months. And 3 months of a PitchBox business plan, which I have to say is the most sophisticated, best outreach tool in the market right now. So if you're into link building, you're going— you, you want to focus much more into link building and you, you want to have access to enterprise-level, super highly functional type of tool, you will have also to PitchBox. And finally, 6 months of membership of Traffic Think Tank Academy, which is amazing because again The SEO Formula 5K Challenge big prize package includes not only tools but also knowledge. If you want to go much more in depth, you, you're only starting in SEO, right, and don't know how to actually even use many of these tools, like the 6-month membership of Traffic TikTok will allow you to learn much more, to have much more knowledge, to see all the capabilities of what you can end up reaching and achieving with So much functionality that will be in your hands now, right? So thank you very much also for staying with me after describing all of this. And after all of this, I'm about to finally— drums, I should have selected, you know, some sort of drum type of sound here.

I'll help you out later.

And I will actually be using ShortStack, as you can see here. I cannot actually— I wish, I wish I would have been able to share the screen here. here right away, but I cannot because of privacy matters, of course, because otherwise you will see the names of all of the people who are registered there on screen. I cannot do that, of course, but I will be sharing the name and details of the person who will win. And I have to say something important, right? The person has, based on— and you have all of the conditions here, um, at the bottom of the announcement post here. The person who wins, you will have, I think it is 3 days to actually get in. I will be sending an email to the winner saying, announcing, hey, you're the winner, you have won. So indeed, if you cannot be contacted in 3 days, I'm afraid that I will need to go and select another person. So it's important that you are you check your email that, that, uh, you have used to register, just to see if it is— if it's important actually here that you actually use a real email, please. Otherwise it will be very difficult for you to get any notification from me. Hopefully you are actually watching today's live video, and I will be also sharing through my social channels besides sending the information, uh, via email to the winner. And that I have, of course, the access to the email of the person here. So just a reminder, be alert. I will be— if you know the winner also, probably you want to get in touch with the winner and tell the winner, look, you have won this, just in case too. That's also a good idea. And now that I have stopped sharing my screen and I can actually go to the screen of the tool to choose the winner. Oh my God, this is so exciting. I will choose how many entries you would like to pick. One, because yes, I wish I will— like, one winner will be only the one that will be selected here. And I am clicking here, picking entries. Let's see, results will be ready shortly. And picked entries ready! We have the winner here. Oh my God, this is so exciting. So the winner is called Camilo Kakimbo. Hopefully it's a real name. Camilo. Yes, yes, it sounds like a real name. Hopefully. Yes, Camilo Kakimbo, you gave also a Gmail account. So yes, it looks like you did the entry on May 24th, 2020 at 11:32 PM. So I have your detail here, Camilo Kakimbo. You are— and I'm going to add the name— Camilo If you know Camilo, tell Camilo that you are the winner of the SEO FOMO 5K Challenge. I will be sharing everywhere. I will be sending Camilo an email also through his email. Hopefully he gets back to me in 3 days. Hopefully so. Otherwise I will need to choose another one. But, uh, thank you very much for also participating in the SEO FOMO 5K Challenge. And so very happy for Camilo here. And hopefully you enjoy, even if you are not the big winner here, you have enjoyed the whole journey until here. You enjoy the Citrix account. Let's see if the next time also, maybe here, now that Nicole and Jeff are here, sponsor another round, even bigger round for a prize for everybody too. No, let's see. Thank you very much, Nicole and Jeff, for joining today.

It was our pleasure.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your support. Congratulations, Camilo Caquimbo. Again, I repeat the name, Camilo Caquimbo. Thank you for participating and congratulations for being the big winner today. And thank you very much all for joining today. This means a lot. And expect also, don't worry, expect more and different type of actions that I will be doing. Um, I won't be waiting. There was one person asking me, Aleyda, are you going to wait until the end of the year to do the 10K challenge? Because actually this will come. I have to say this will come because I had the challenge to, to reach the 10K, uh, subscribers before the end of the year. Uh, let's see. I'm in a good path now with the 5K in June. So let's see if this continues to, to grow as I expect. But I don't worry, I won't wait until the end of the year to do something like this. I will be doing smaller giveaways. Let's see if Semrush or Cybervolve want to also support to do something special for all of you. So thank you very much, Nicole and Jeff, and thank you everybody. I will be finishing now.

Thank you very much.

And I will be reaching in a few minutes to Camilo Caquimbo, if you know him. Let him know that he has won. Thank you very much. Bye-bye.

Okay, bye-bye.
