Please tell us about yourself, where you work and your role at your company.
How did you get introduced to digital marketing, more specifically SEO?
How do you think SEO has changed over the last 10 years? And, how do you think year 2019 will shape up for SEO industry?
I think 2019 will trend in the same direction – toward creating real value on websites. But I also think there will be greater utilization of machine learning and AI. These are great tools that I don’t think are mutually exclusive with creating great, people-oriented marketing.
What are the services you provide to your clients and what do you think makes your business stand out among your competitors?
We stand out among our competitors because we use a consultative approach to digital marketing. No two businesses are alike – even those in the same industry – so when we meet with prospective clients, we spend time learning about their unique business challenges and goals before we even begin to propose any solutions. We never try to force any of our services where they don’t fit, and in fact, we have even told companies that they would be better spending their money elsewhere when we felt our services wouldn’t bring enough value to their businesses. We’d much rather win their respect through honesty than make money without actually helping.
Everybody knows what you have achieved, I would like to talk about your failure stories and how they impacted your professional life. (As we know Rome was not built in a day)
Failure doesn’t really bother me because I always look at it as another opportunity to learn, usually what NOT to do. And yes, sometimes it’s painful, but I figure that as long as I’m moving forward, it will all work out.
