    How to Transition from SEO Specialist to SEO Team Lead or Manager?

    Managerial roles, especially TL are mostly around keep doing what you do + a butt load of being a babysitter. For interview, you want to show composure and wanting to lead by example. This is what worked for me back in the day. It's a lot easier to land team leading roles if you were promoted...

    Is Manual Bidding Still Better Than Smart Bidding

    Performance-wise, automated bidding overtook manual bidding years ago. Old-school advertisers sometime hang to manual bidding like a lifeline, which i can relate to because running a manual CPC is REALLY fun, but i think they're mistaking control for performance. The sad truth is that they're...

    Do you like AI?

    I don't 'like' AI just as I don't 'like' my computer. I use it, yes, pretty extensively. AI let's me do a lot of thinks I'd otherwise not be able to do, but do I like it? I use it.

    lead gen for local services journey

    Anyone here doing Digital PR? Does it actually help with AI search?

    Yeah I recently ran a story like that. Generated a lot of really good links in sites that would've costed 5-6X the cost of the PR. Funny enough, the actual wire didn't generate anything, it was mostly from the service's direct contact list. I also approached journalists myself so despite it...
