GripeO is an online complaint site that allows anyone to anonymously trash just about anyone or anything they want.

Sound familiar? The GripeO model isn’t anything new. Remember RipOffReport (RoR)?

At first glance, you’d think GripeO was unbias. Why? When you visit their site, the first thing you see is “Honest, In-depth, Accurate & Unbiased Reviews,” however, GripeO is anything but honest, accurate, or unbiased. To test the site out, we anonymously submitted an accurate, unbiased review that was quickly deleted from the pending queue.

The problem with sites like GripeO is they have no moderation (besides deleting positive reviews) and they allow anyone to say anything about anyone. Like RipOffReport, GripeO is likely protected by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

“The law states that sites like Ripoff Report aren’t publishers, like newspapers, which could be sued for libel for printing falsehoods. Rather, the law treats Ripoff Report and sites as carriers, like Google or Yahoo, which aren’t legally liable for what outsiders post on the site,” said Aaron Minc, Founder & Attorney at Minc Law.

How to Remove / Delete Content from GripeO.com

1. Contact aaero for a free, confidential consultation immediatly.
2. Call aaero and speak with one of our professional, on-site reputation SEO specialist at 843-833-0211 to discuss available options to remove and/or suppress content from GripeO. You MAY have options to have the content appearing on GripeO to be removed from Google.

For the past 20 years, we’ve been dealing with sites like GripeO for clients of all sizes. We realize there are bad people out there who have nothing better to do than try and ruin the lives of others.

Why You Should Trust AAERO

The Online Reputation Management Experts at AAERO have appointed and testified as experts in various federal lawsuits regarding SEO and reputation management. We can not only successfully reverse the damage done by these clowns, but we can in many cases compile a report that uncovers who they are so you can take legal against the losses should you decide to do that.

Don’t want, GripeO is actively building links to continue to propel the visibility of garbage on businesses around the globe. Contact us today to determine what recourse you have to fight back.

Soon, freelancers, small business owners, and startups will have access to over 9,000 sq/ft of creative space. The Litchfield Collective in partnership with AAERO will open its doors near the Litchfield Exchange in Feb of 2022.

“We welcome entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners to join us for this new exciting concept,” wrote Sean Michael, Investor, and Partner of Litchfield Collective.

The Litchfield Collective will bring ample creative space that will include individually leased offices, drop-in space as well as a startup incubator program that will let ideas come to life.

Revenge SEO isn’t a new concept. In short, it’s when someone who knows search engine optimization, optimizes negative content designed to harm one’s reputation. It could be made up, blatantly false content, or truthful content that’s been stored away for years in a closet.

Revenge SEO is used a lot by politicians. Politicians will hire a research firm to dig up negative content on their opponent and make sure it’s visible in search for potential voters to see.

Defending against a Revenge SEO campaign requires a bit of time, and most importantly, skill. Your typical Reputation Management campaign might not work for Revenge SEO due to the fact that there’s usually an experienced SEO on the other end of the attack making sure that the site ranks favorably.

If you’ve found a negative piece of content that doesn’t seem to go away, be sure to check out Sean Michael Consulting, Revenge SEO Defense services.

Defending against Revenge SEO requires the best. Visit www.seanhakes.com to learn more.

This past week our family stayed with Elm Hill RV Resort in Nashville, TN which gave us the perfect backdrop to test our 360° Interactive Tour software and equipment. The captured tour is one of our more ‘basic tours’ but offers good insight on capabilities, and potential.

In the above virtual tour there were multiple capture points, image embeds and information hubs.

Saltwater Pros, a retailer of name brand fishing products and boating accessories has opened up in North Myrtle Beach. If you show up to their location at the Harbourgate Marina, you might find what you’d expect. That’s because, Saltwater Pros sells mostly online. They house their 14,000 products across two warehouses in New Jersey and Florida.

“Saltwater Pros is a white-glove concept. We will delivery bait and tackle from shop to dock,” said Sean Michael, CEO of Saltwater Pros. “We don’t have larger items in-store such as trolling motors, boat radar systems, outriggers etc but most marine outfitters don’t,” he added.

Saltwater Pros sells name brand marine products from Garmin, Simrad, Lawrence, C-Map, ACR and others as well as premium fishing gear from Penn, Abu Garcia and many more.

“We do have a lot of lures and fishing gear such as rods and reels in stock so depending on what you need, we can typically get it out to you same day,” Michael mentioned.

By 2022 Saltwater Pros plans on distributing a dozen bait & tackle vending machines around the grand strand as well as launching a series of workshops, fishing shows and YouTube series featuring local saltwater fishing pros in South Carolina.

Imagine traveling to your favorite destination to fish and instead of dropping potentially, thousands of dollars on a paid charter, you can pull up an app on your phone and find local, highly skilled recreational fishermen who are willing to take you out with them for free? While it’s not required, we recommend offering to split fuel cost which will leave reelmates™ fishing for less!

How reelmates™ got its start

The idea of reelmates™ was born by its Founder, Sean Michael after moving from landlocked Colorado to Myrtle Beach, SC to live his dream on the water.

Shortly after moving to Myrtle Beach Sean purchased a Sea Pro 259 DLX. While Sean was no stranger to fishing, he was newer as an operator and angler to inshore and offshore fishing. Seeking help, Sean jumped on a various local fishing forums seeking advice, tips etc. Many of the local anglers were not helpful, most of them offered rude responses claiming they had spend a lifetime learning the local waters and unless he paid them, they were not interested in helping or offering advice.

In fact, one local charter captain trolled him trying to suppress any effort to do a business in the saltwater fishing industry in Myrtle Beach.

Later, Sean met a local angler offline who had fished the area his entire life. He knew the waters well, and was an avid fishermen. After talking, Sean realized this local fishing expert was dying to go offshore and was eager to trade out his fishing knowledge for fishing offshore with Sean. The rest was history.

Reelmates™ (Reel Mates) was born to connect and network anglers of skill levels and needs. Like Sean, there are a lot of boat owners who are looking for fishing buddies. In retrospect, there are a lot of anglers who don’t have boats but would be more than welcome to go out with someone who does and chip in on gas (while not required).

That’s where the reelmates™ slogan was born; fish more, spend less.

At reelmates™ you get to fish more because in many cases, operating cost can be shared among mates. You’ll ultimately spend significantly less than a charter.

While the reelmates app is getting its final touches, a Myrtle Beach reelmates Facebook Group was recently created to help mates connect today. Join now, it’s free.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to attend the annual Freedom Boat Club of Myrtle Beach (Grand Strand) St. Patrick’s Day event at the Harbourgate Marina in North Myrtle Beach. It was fantastic.

CO-Owner Chris Speckman jumped behind the smoker and served up what some would recall as the ‘tastiest smoked sliders one’s pallet could experience,’ to Freedom Boat Club Members. According to Speckman, there were about 100lbs of brisket that cooked throughout the night for the Reuben sliders.

The event kicked off around 5:00 P.M and had dozens of attendees sharing stories about just about everything from boating adventures to flying and sharing more about what they look forward to most this summer while out on the open water.

What is Freedom Boat Club?

Freedom Boat Club is the largest membership boat club with over 30 years of experience. With over 250+ locations, members will enjoy reciprocal access in the U.S Canada and France. One of the perks to joining a boat club like Freedom vs. ownership is the club takes care of the maintenance, cleaning, insurance and storage.

Freedom Boat Clubs fleets vary by location but generally include bowriders pontoons, offshore/inshore fishing boats (center consoles) deck boats and wake boats.

Finally, besides having your pick of boats that fit your needs for the day Freedom offers 1-on-1 training by licensed captains and includes insurance coverage of liability for hull and machinery.

How much does a Freedom Boat Membership Cost?

According to trustedinformer.com, a Freedom Boat Club membership has an entry fee around $5,349 and monthly dues of around $349 per month. Again, this may vary by location and fleet.

The draw to boat clubs like Freedom Boat Club is it’s low cost of entry in comparison to purchasing a similar boat which can cost $35,000 to well over $100,000+.

How much does SEO cost?

SEO fees will vary by provider and experience. Less experienced providers who may not implement Google’s best practices generally bill a few hundred dollars per month or less. Besides having a lack of experience, low-cost SEO providers typically cut corners in areas like link development which can leave a website prone to a Google penalty.

Besides experience, SEO cost vary by industry a market. That is because the level of competition can change drastically depending on what you do, and who you market to. For local businesses, legitimate SEO firms will charge no less than $500 per month. A national or international campaign will require a minimum budget of $2,500 to $5,000 month.

Is SEO a Cost?

Contrary to popular belief, SEO is an investment rather than a cost. A well tuned SEO campaign should not only pay for itself, it should give you a significant return on what your investing. If it’s not, it might be time to consider a new SEO.

How Long Does SEO Take?

The time it takes to see drastic improvement really depends on the condition of your website. Here are some things we look at when determining how long your SEO campaign should take to pay for itself, and more…

1. How long has your website been live?
2. Do you do any additional advertising?
3. Have you worked with an SEO before?
4. Are your backlinks toxic, or helpful?
5. Is your industry competitive?
6. What’s the gap to fill between your site and your biggest competitor?
7. How large is your target market? Is it one city, is it small, is it big, is it national or international?

All of these questions can help us better understand how and when your site will react to SEO.

According to Google, you should allow 4 to 12 months for your SEO to first implement improvements to your website, and see meaningful results from those efforts.

Here’s an example of a local SEO campaign that improved quickly. In less than a month, this client achieved the top 3 positions. This client had the following items in their favor:

1. The website (domain) was more than a year old
2. The client did not have prior SEO or toxic links
3. The clients market size was less than 300,000 people
4. The clients competitors didn’t have great SSEO

As you can see from Feb to March the site for tracked keywords improved in Google by 1,337 positions across 27 keywords. Most of these keywords landed #1 or #2 spots.

Your results can vary but hiring a qualified, and experienced SEO will help determine whether or not your website will rank quickly.

Myrtle Beach has been a thriving destination for vacationers for decades, but the success hasn’t always been without competition. Area resorts and destinations have long struggled to attract visitors from the growing competition. With more hotels, services, and vacation rentals than ever, Myrtle Beach tourism is beginning to see a new level of competition.

When creating your tourism marketing strategy, you’ll want to take all of these trends into consideration.

Many of the hotels and vacation rentals are located right on the beach itself, but there’s still plenty of space for your tourism marketing plan to succeed even if you’re not located oceanfront. One popular method is YouTube advertising. YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world. Millions of people use YouTube every day, so it’s an easy way to get your message out and bring in potential customers. It’s an ideal place to introduce your attraction to the public in a visually appealing way.

Even if your resort, attraction, or hotel is on YouTube, you should also consider utilizing the power of social media marketing to your arsenal of tools. Facebook and Instagram are two places that you want to be when promoting your resort or hotel. Use Facebook and Instagram to create promotions and announcements about local events and special activities.

You can also post pictures and videos of your activities for people to see and enjoy. Your resort may have a blog you can update visitors on the latest happenings, as well.
