Understanding why
#DRINKDigital @JessicaMal_
“When you
assume you
make an ass
out of you
and me”
#DRINKDigital @JessicaMal_
◆ They’ve got a TV ad live that says search for
‘KEYWORD’ and they don’t currently rank for it.
◆ The ‘higher-ups’ are demanding they rank for the
keyword.
◆ They think SEO is as ‘easy’ as PPC.
