Everything has to start somewhere, with something. A flower starts with a seed. A book starts with the first letter typed, a house begins with the first nail hammered, and a move begins with the director’s word. When it comes to business credit, it all starts with business trade lines.
You have heard the adage you have to have money to make money. You have probably heard you have to have credit to get credit. While both of these are true to a point, seemingly catching us in a vicious circle, it isn’t entirely true with business credit.
A circle has no clear beginning. Business credit however, does. Just not very many people know about it, and it can be difficult to find. We know the secret though, and we are willing to share.
Of course, we all know that a lot of work goes in a house, a book, a garden, and a movie before that actual first nail, letter, seed, or director’s word. This prep work lays as solid foundation for the final masterpiece. There is a way to lay a solid foundation for business credit as well, before you even consider looking into business trade lines.
Research is how a book or movie starts, and any construction starts with clearing the area and dirt work. A garden spot must be tilled and fertilized before seeds can be planted. Something similar is necessary to establish and build business credit. You have to build a solid foundation for that credit to sit on. Now, that foundation is not necessarily your business. Your business and your business credit will grow together. You can start the prep work at the same time you are starting your business.
To be clear, if your business is already up and running you can still establish business credit. The foundation can still be built. In this way it is different than a building or a book. However, as with any first steps, it is much easier to take them in the beginning.
Before you consider business trade lines, you need to consider how your business is set up. For many new business owners, starting a business just kind of happens. You have something you do that you love, and you decide its time to use it to make money. You may find a location or start from your home. Likely you simply mingle funds in your personal bank account. You have a business name but the business address, email, and phone number are all the same as your personal contact information. It is sort of a natural progression.
Hit the jackpot with our best webinar and its trustworthy list of seven vendors who can help you build business credit.
If you want to establish business credit, you have to be purposeful to set up your business separate from yourself. This means doing a few things differently.
First, you have to incorporate. Running as a DBA, sole proprietorship, or partnership really won’t cut it. You can choose from running as a corporation, S-corp, or LLC based on your specific needs, but it needs to be one of these three. Each one comes associated with a different cost and varying levels of protection, but each will serve the purpose of separating your business from yourself.
Next, establish separate contact information for your business. You need a business address, email, and phone number that is different from your personal address, email, and phone number. The phone number should be from a toll-free exchange, and your email address should be associated with your professional website. Do not use a free service such as Gmail or Yahoo, and don’t ignore the professional website part. These days, a poorly put together website can ruin a business.
After these first steps are complete you need to play the numbers game. In order to establish business credit, your business has to have two numbers associated with it. The first is an EIN. This is an identifying number for a business, similar to a social security number. You can get one for free on the IRS website.
The next is a DUNS number. This is a number assigned by Dun & Bradstreet, the largest and most commonly used business credit reporting agency. To have a business credit file with them, you must have a DUNS number. You can apply for it for free on their website, but note that they will definitely try to sell you other services. Be strong. The number is free and the other services are not necessary.
Open a separate bank account for your business. This is the account through which all business financial transactions should run. If your business is already up and running, it may take you some time to get everything switched over, but it will be worth it. Not only will is help separate your business from your personal credit, but it will also help tremendously when it is time to do your taxes.
Okay, so these steps ensure that your business is on record as a business at all the right places. As soon as something credit related is reporting, it will have a place to go. How do you get something reported though? You need accounts that will report your on-time payments. Lenders will not even consider extending you credit however, if you don’t have a credit score, or if your credit score is bad. How do you break into the circle?
You can find a tiny crack with business trade lines. These are vendors that sell things you use in the everyday course of business, and they are vital to building business credit. Here’s how it works. They will extend net30 terms on invoices, without a credit check, and then report your invoice payments to the business credit reporting agencies.
For most of these vendors, you will have to make a few initial purchases before they will extent net30 terms. Some want to see a minimum time in business or a certain revenue level as well. We have compiled a list of six easy approval business trade lines to help you get started.
Hit the jackpot with our best webinar and its trustworthy list of seven vendors who can help you build business credit.
If you need computers or other electronics, this is the place to start. Newegg Business offers tons of electronic products, so there is something that pretty much any business can use. To open an account with net30 terms, you’ll need a DUNS number and a bank reference. Net30 accounts range from $500 to $1,000, and they report to Dun & Bradstreet.
This company sells eBooks, software, and even office supplies. You do have to register to see their products, but the process if fast and easy. You will have to make a $60 or more initial purchase to be eligible for a net30 account of up to $2,000. They report to Experian and Credit Safe.
Granger industrial supply sells industrial equipment for outdoors as well as standard tools, and more. To gain net 30 approval you will need a business license, a DUNS number, and bank reference. Their net 30 accounts range from $500 to $1,000 and they report to Dun & Bradstreet.
Another office supply provider, you can order anything from paper to staples, pens to printer ink, and pretty much anything you can think of in between from Summa. They require a $60 initial purchase, and will approve up to $2,000 on net 30 terms. They report to Dun & Bradstreet.
Quill also sells standard office supplies. You will need to make an initial purchase. They’ll usually put you on a 90 day prepay scheduled, but after ordering for 3 months in a row, they’ll typically approve net 30 term. They report to Dun & Bradstreet.
Uline sells a lot of things, but they specialize in packing and shipping equipment and janitorial supplies. You’ll need to place an initial order, and they do ask for a bank reference and two other references. They report to Dun & Bradstreet, so you’ll of course need a DUNS number too.
If you open accounts and get net 30 approval with each of these, you could have between $5,000 and $10,000 in accounts reporting to the credit agencies pretty quickly. Make your payment consistently, and that seed you planted with these easy approval business trade lines will sprout to the point you will be ready for the next step in building business credit before you know it.

These business trade lines are all part of the vendor credit tier. After you have a few of these accounts reporting, you can apply for accounts in the retail credit tier, then the fleet credit tier, then the cash credit tier. Here’s what you need to know about each tier, and what happens when you get to the top.
This would be relatable to the editing stage of writing a book or a movie, the weeding stage of planting a garden, or the sheetrock stage of building a house. You’ve done the prework of research or preparing the ground, you have planted that first seed, banged out that first word, or hammered that first nail. So now, it is time to move on.
In building business credit, after you have enough business trade lines reporting, this means moving on to the retail credit tier. These are credit cards issued by specific retailers such as Amazon, Office Depot, and Best Buy. Apply for these accounts, purchase things you need in the everyday course of running your business, and make your payments on-time. Your business credit score will grow stronger by the day.
This is where you head into publication, start prescreens, water the garden daily, and start getting the inside of that house ready for move in with paint and appliances. These cards are issued by fleet companies such as Shell and Fuelman. They can be used to purchase gasoline or for automobile maintenance and repairs. Once you have enough of these accounts reporting, it’s time for the last tier.
The cash credit tier is the finished product. Your book or movie is out there for the public to enjoy, your garden is ready for harvest, and you can sleep comfortably in that house each night. The cash credit tier consists of the traditional Visa, Master, and American Express cards not associated with a specific store. Use this wisely, continue to make consistent, on-time payments, and your business credit will be rock solid.
You may be asking yourself the question, why bother? You may have personal credit that will allow you to get what you need to run your business without needing to work with business trade lines. It can take time, and better prices may be available elsewhere. What’s the point? Why do you need business credit?
The fact is, its never a good idea to have your business transactions on your personal credit report. There are a few reasons for this. First, if your personal credit takes a hit, it can affect your ability to run your business.
Also, business credit cards based on personal credit often have a lower credit limit, and business transactions are often very large. If you get close to your limit, your score will take a hit even if you make your payments like you should due to the high debt-to-credit ratio.
By having cards based on your business credit, you can get higher limits, and your personal credit will not be affected by business transactions. This way, you do not have to worry about business transactions keeping you from applying for personal credit you may need to purchase a car or make home improvements.
Regardless of your personal credit score, you really do have to work with business trade lines to start your business credit. After you establish your business and prepare the way for your business transactions to be reported to your business credit profile, you will need accounts to report. Most credit cards will not extend credit to a business with no credit, or bad credit. Working with business trade lines that do not do a credit check is a way around that. You can start building business credit in your business name without your personal credit score ever being involved. So it’s a win/win for you and for your business.

Google makes over 3,200 algorithm changes per year.
That’s a lot of changes.
Just think about that for a minute… and let that sink in. It’s
roughly 9 changes per day.
So how can you beat this gigantic company at their own game and rank high? Especially when you consider that they generate over $100 billion+ per year in ad revenue?
You could follow their advice on how to rank well but that won’t do much for you.
The real trick to rank well is to leverage technology.
See, although Google has made things harder, there are things you can do now that I couldn’t when I first started. For years now technology has evolved, which has made your life easier as an SEO.
Here are 7 advanced SEO strategies that I’m implementing as we speak and you should too.
To improve your rankings, what do you have to do?
You have to go in and manually make changes to your site.
And if you aren’t sure what changes to make, just put in your URL into this SEO Analyzer and it will spit
out a report like the one below.

But there is one issue with making changes manually, and I
know this because I own an ad agency and I
do the SEO for my own website.
It takes forever to make changes.
Heck, I can barely keep up with the changes I need to make on NeilPatel.com as I have far too many pages.
But now with companies like Rank Science and Distilled ODN, you no longer have to make changes to your site.
I know that sounds crazy, but think about what I just said.
You no longer have to make changes to your site.
You are probably wondering how right?
When you want to track your website, you just install a
piece of javascript like the one Google Analytics gives you and you are off to
the races.
Rank Science and Distilled ODN are similar. You install a piece of javascript and that’s it. From there it doesn’t matter if you have a CMS, or how your website is built, or any of that… they can make changes to your HTML code without you needing to do anything.
You don’t even have to give them your server password or an FTP login. The technology has changed so much that the simple javascript you add to your website can now make the changes for you.
I know that may be hard to believe, but that is how A/B testing worked for years. If you use Optimizely, VWO, or Crazy Egg… you just add a javascript and from their end, they can adjust your site.
So why can’t the same be done for SEO? Why do you have to manually make changes still?
The cool part about tools like ODN or Rank Science is they can make the changes automatically, which is really useful if you have thousands of pages.
Here’s how they work:

This way your site can always be SEO-friendly without you having to make any of the adjustments yourself.
In the SEO world, there has been an acronym that has been thrown around a lot and it is E-A-T.
It stands for expertise, authority, and trustworthiness.
Google no longer wants to rank just “good” content. Now, they are worried that a piece of content that ranks is inaccurate and can hurt the potential searcher.
For example, let’s imagine you are giving medical advice on your site. You have a ton of links and all of the right signals to rank well but your content is inaccurate. Now imagine someone injures themselves after taking your advice… well, that would be bad.
In the SEO world, you see sites in the health space or financial space having more issues with Google algorithm updates because their information may be inaccurate and Google is looking for sites to prove their expertise, authority, and trustworthiness.
But my hunch is, over the next year or two, they will crack down on many more industries.
If you are going to rank a site, everyone these days can manipulate SEO signals, but it is hard to manipulate things like expertise, authority, and trustworthiness. Especially when you combine all three.
One thing I’m focusing on in the next 12 months is to increase what I believe will help boost my rankings in the long run.
How you may ask? Well, I’m going to leverage a handful of
tactics:
A simple thing that you can do if you believe you have been negatively impacted by some of the more recent Google updates is to include an author bio box on every piece of content you write. And, of course, use author schema markup.
A good example of this is my author box…

Using this should help boost your long-term rankings.
We all know that speed impacts rankings. It also impacts conversion rates. Walmart, for example, boosted their conversion rate by 2% for every second of load time they reduced.
And nowadays more Google searches happen on mobile devices, hence load time and speed really matter.
I already have a faster server… my hosting bill is a bit
more than I would like.
And it’s actually going to get a bit worse.
Currently, I have a server where my site is hosted. That server is somewhere in the United States… I believe the east coast.
That means if someone wants to visit my website from let’s say New York City, it should load fairly fast. However, if someone from São Paulo, Brazil wants to visit NeilPatel.com, it would take a bit longer as they are further away from my server.
To solve this, I’ve been using a CDN. A CDN is a content delivery network.
Services like Cloudflare cache your images and static content and server it from the closest server to the person visiting your website.
So now when someone from São Paulo visits my website, they are usually served up cached content from a server in Brazil. This makes their experience load much faster.
But as your content changes, and with things like WordPress
blogs where you are constantly getting comments and going through page changes,
not all of your content is served up through a CDN.
My team is now making a tweak to improve my load time even more. So instead of serving up my HTML pages from my server, we are now going to serve them up from a CDN.
In other words, we are trying to serve as much of our site from a CDN.

As you can see from the Trello list above, that’s all of the
stuff we are working on serving up from our Cloudflare account in order to
speed up our site and eventually boost our search rankings and conversion
rates.
I wish I can walk you through how to do it step by step, and maybe that could be a future blog post, but the easiest is to just find a developer from UpWork to do it for you.
Similar to Rank Science, there’s a tool I currently use to
test my title tags.
It’s called Clickflow.
I use to automatically test my title tag and meta description to maximize my click-through rate. And like Rank Science, you just add a piece of javascript and it can start running tests for you automatically.
That way, you don’t have to manually keep changing things.
And Clickflow has worked well for me for over the past year… really well. Just look at my month-over-month growth from the past couple of months.

Just in the last 31 days, I saw an increase in organic
traffic by 96,723 just through title tag split tests.
But here is the kicker: I’m only able to effectively use the software for my English content. Now just imagine if I did this in less competitive markets like Brazil where I am generating 418,953 unique visitors a month.

Or what if I did that with my German blog or Spanish blog? The possibilities are endless!
Sure in English, not many SEOs are doing title tag split testing but some still are. In other regions, many marketers haven’t even heard of this yet.
So, over the next few months, my team will have to manually
do this to figure out what works in these markets.
If you haven’t done it yet in English, check out this post. Here you will see some of the basic findings when it comes to boosting CTRs were:
And if you want something really simple, I’ve found that adding the year in your title tag can drastically increase CTR.
For example, look at a lot of the top results that rank for
the phrase “how to start a blog”.

3 of the top 5 results contain the year in the title tag.
I blogged about this in the past, but less than .17% of
sites are leveraging it.
Before I get into it, just look at my search traffic from
the term “digital marketing”.

Sure the chart is bouncing up and down a lot, but I’m getting way more traffic than I was before I implemented the FAQpage markup.
In essence, what it does is add common FAQ-based questions to your search listing. Similar to the image below.

I know some people say that if you add this to your site then there is no reason for people to visit your site. And in essence, Google wins because it keeps them on their search engine.
But the way I look at it is if your website provides amazing content and helps create an amazing experience, a portion of those people will remember your URL and will come back in the future.
Plus if you aren’t in the number 1 spot, you don’t have much to lose by implementing this. Even if you are in the number 1 spot like I am for my affiliate marketing page and you add FAQpage schema…

I’ve found that when I add the FAQpage schema my traffic
hasn’t dropped.

Now all I have to do is add this for another 649 blog
posts that we identified that are a good fit for this on my blog. 🙁
I bet you have content on your site. And similar to me, when
you wrote the content you used tools like Ubersuggest and wrote whatever
had a lot of search volume.
And if you want to get a bit more organized and move faster, you probably even used a content calendar.
But just like me, I bet over the years you never focused on clustering your content together. And because you didn’t you probably have tons of pages on similar topics if not the same topic.
This is a big problem because it confuses Google.
For example, I have so many pages on “keyword tools” and “keyword research” that Google doesn’t necessarily know which page to rank. Because of this, my rankings for some of those terms are somewhat stable, but the rank page from my site constantly changes.
A good solution to this problem and improved overall rankings is to use content clusters. A great example of a site that didn’t use clustering but now does is Hubspot.
Their content went from looking like this:

To looking like this:

The overall goal is to have sections of your site and blog about specific topics. And from there you can link and connect other articles around the same topic together. Doing this lets the search engines know which one is the main topic through things like breadcrumbs and URL hierarchy.
A good example of this is the Beginners Guide to SEO by Moz.
Within that guide, they link 8 chapters that cover all aspects of SEO. Each of those chapters links back to the main introductory article.
Instead of making them 9 separate blog posts (including the
introductory page), they linked them all together and made them flow with each
other.
Just look at how they set up their URL structure.
Here is the URL of the introductory page:
https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
And here is the URL of a chapter:
https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/why-search-engine-marketing-is-necessary
Do you see what they did?
They are telling search engines that the chapter is part of the whole Beginner’s Guide to SEO and they did this through the use of folders.
And here is another chapter… https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/keyword-research
As you can see, they followed the same structure. This a simple way to use content clustering to improve your rankings. Case in point, they rank number 1 on Google for the term “SEO” and have for years.

Now I just have to do this with my whole site in multiple
languages.
I’m serious when I say that by the way… I really am going
after all of the major countries.
The most vital SEO strategy I ever learned came from a Google employee. And it was simple… Google has tons of content to choose from when it comes to ranking sites in English but they lack a lot of high-quality content in other regions.
So, I decided to do something simple years ago… I translated my content into other languages. That’s how my traffic has gone from this:

To this:

Sure, I have leveraged a lot of other tactics over the years as well, like building Ubersuggest into a free SEO tool. But even that, Ubersuggest has grown so fast because it is translated into 9 different languages.
Just look at the language breakdown of Ubersuggest’s traffic
stats.

When you combine all of the different variations of English, all of the other variations make up roughly 40% of the tools traffic.
Now with my blog, I haven’t gone as far as translating it into as many languages as the tool, but I plan on translating it eventually into 22 languages. I pick them based on population size and GDP.
This one will take me a few years to really scale up but it provides massive gains for me.
If you want to scale globally, follow this.
This is a must if you want to not only dominate SEO but business in general. Companies these days aren’t just based in the US or UK or China… they are all going global.
No matter if you have been doing SEO for just a few weeks or
even years like me, there is always more to do.
Google is constantly changing and with the new technology
that’s available to you, there is still a lot of room to do well.
As you can see from the above strategies, that’s the stuff I am focusing on over the next 12 months. They’re tactics that work and provide results.
Some of them are really advanced and require engineering
help, but SEO is no longer just about hiring a marketer and having them help
you get more traffic. To really do well, you have to get a bit more technical
than most marketers are comfortable with.
So, what do you think of the strategies above? Have you
tried any of them yet?
