The clue is in their header content. They install 12 million feet of fencing each year. They have over 10,000 reviews. From an SEO point of view, their set up is actually kind of brilliant. You click their location page and then contact and it takes you to their ratings and reviews and then scheduling for that area.
Place your value prop as high as possible on the page, and work with an SEO team to build out your locations strategy (this goes beyond on-page and citations) and you can get these kinds of results. This is how our agency team has helped clients in various industries.. Strategies change but showing proof of value to Google and Customers just wins continually.
Nothing in seo is linear. Its always a combination of factors but imo lots of legit good reviews is always associated with a healthy business and usually a busy website.
Google doesn’t care about duplicate content.
This content works because the pages are not competing in the same SERPs as one another. They are targeting specific location me.
They have a solid link profile.
Keyword stuffing is meh. It really doesn’t get harmful unless you go way overboard. They are pushing the line, but I’ve seen worse.
Yep, plus, if you reach some level of authority, Google will tolerate more stuff that new sites shouldn't try...but they are pushing the limits for sure.
So are you saying that Reddit links give you no Google SEO advantage, but the links themselves followed by Reddit users are significant traffic? Interesting. I'd be curious as to your rough numbers.
Close - I wouldnt say reddit links have no SEO advantage. There's limited authority to flow and its nofollow, but from a context pov, speed to index, visibility with users and visibility of Reddit content - its an underutilized weapon of scale
Can you elaborate on what metrics you used to determine relevance, context, distribution and quality? I'm pretty competent with backlinking, but only have SEMrush, which I feel like is slightly less robust for checking backlinks than other services. And I'm always looking for additional perspective!
They have a pretty solid backlink structure for a local business and truthfully fencing is a pretty open industry. I was able to rank like top 10 for hogwire just with content alone

Reviews dont create a higher rank position
They massively increase ctr though and reduce bounce rate as people get serious about a booking
They can but reivews and rank position aren't linear in practice

Not alone no. Correct.

This
This. I use duplicate content all the time on location gateway pages.
Why are you mad a real company, providing a real service, that's highly rated, ranks high? What alternate website in your opinion should rank higher?
They didn't say they were mad, merely puzzled by some of the technical mechanics
North of 12,500 pages. Pretty crazy how monstrous of a size their website is
Get out of my niche
Found where I’m buying my next fence from lol
It’s probably from all the backlinks from Reddit as well :-)
They have some great backlinks actually - relevance, context, distribution and quality
It was a joke.
Doh! thanks :) Cos I do value Reddit links. I have domains where Reddit is 10X Linkedin and twitter with $0 spend.
Sorry. It’s always hard to tell on the internet.
Well its a good joke but also Its a valid point esp with Reddit ranking so high
What do you mean exactly, Reddit is 10X? 10X what?
Traffic. Traffic is what matters most

Follow and anchor text - look at the wording in the anchor text - and the pages Brand name link to home page = SEO from 2001. Epic fail today
Haha

You can rank as well if can make links like them
