Has it really been thirteen years already? Wow, time flies. For those who don’t know, every year I write a year in review post, just to reflect on what I’ve learned, accomplished, or how things are changing in SEO. Sorry I haven’t written a lot this year for this blog, I have been incredibly busy […]

2024 Year in Review
This year was one of big change for many agencies, and I’m thankful to still be here for the twelfth year. Many of my clients are doing bigger and better things than ever before. The success of our clients is what I like to measure. One of my earliest clients had a record year. Another […]

In November 2022, I’ll have reached a milestone many people do not reach, a decade of being in business.

There are three factors which don’t get talked about, which help determine the success of any SEO campaign.
