The Alex Tew Principle For Optimizing Google My Business
I’m not a fan of get-rich-quick schemes and certainly think that hard work is always the best way to be rewarded. But Alex Tew was able to do something that has been copied but never to the success of his unique venture. His scheme led him on a journey worth millions. His aim was to go to university and to fund it himself. So what did he do and what is the principle?
In 2005 Alex Tew lived in Wiltshire, England and decided to produce a website to raise funds for his university education. He conceived the “Million Dollar Homepage” The home page consisted of a million pixels arranged in 1000 × 1000 pixel grid; the image-based links on it were sold for $1 per pixel in 10 × 10 blocks.
A truly simple but important principle is now established. Pixels are real estate in digital marketing. The more pixels you have the more chances you have of new clicks and enquiries. Or even, pixels are valuable. In the case of Alex Tew, a 50 x 50-pixel advert (as shown in the video below) is worth $2500. But actually it’s worth a lot more. Who knows how many clicks the return on investment for each pixel has produced. But I’m sure it’s staggering if we are still referring to it 16 years on.

How to apply the principle in Google My Business Knowledge Panel
So we now get it. I’m not saying this will get you to number one. But what you are doing is continuously improving your odds against those preforming above you. If you can improve in the areas no one else is, you are increasing your chances of more clicks. Google then sees more clicks as more useful than the other business not receiving clicks. This relevance (as voted by those who clicked) is a big factor in your ranking.
So the Google algorithm is measuring, to some degree on how visitors interact with your knowledge panel and map listing.
