\n\nMy name is Michael Kiriazis and I co-founded and run a Digital Marketing Agency, cliQthru Marketing. We provide Google SEO services for our clients and our own internal brands. We also run both our own and clients\u2019 eCommerce websites and Amazon stores.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\n<\/div>\n\nHow do you think SEO has changed over the last 10 years?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nOver the past 10 years, SEO has become much more legitimate and less spammy. All of Google\u2019s updates throughout the years have really helped the internet become more organized and legit. You have to provide value and create actual content now to rank well, most of the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n\nHow did you get introduced to digital marketing, more specifically SEO?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nAfter majoring in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan, I went to work in corporate at a Technology Consulting firm in Chicago. As a part of the business consulting team, all of my work centered around digital marketing for fortune 500 companies. With this experience and the knowledge I had gathered from self-educating on the internet, I left to start my own company in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n\nWhat are the services you provide to your clients?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nWe provide two primary services to our clients. First, we offer eCommerce services, where we help them sell their physical products online either through websites or Amazon FBA. Second, we offer Google SEO services to help grow their online visibility and increase traffic through organic ranking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n\nWhat strategy according to you will prevail in 2017 for SEO?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nRelevant relationship building is the most powerful SEO tactic in 2017. Google has always rewarded link building, but now more than ever relevancy and legitimacy are top priority. If you can build actual relationships with other websites who have a solid following and are related to your industry, a link from those websites will be more powerful than any other SEO strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n\nWhat would your advice be to people who are looking to take up digital marketing as a career choice?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nBe emotionally strong and dedicated to your business. Entrepreneurship and SEO, in particular, are a roller coaster ride. The industry is constantly changing and there are new challenges all the time. Be prepared to dedicate long hours on education and on building processes to both find clients and perform your services. If you can secure a few clients and setup your process to perform SEO, the rest isn\u2019t too difficult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/p>\n
\n\nBe emotionally strong and dedicated to your business. Entrepreneurship and SEO, in particular, are a roller coaster ride. The industry is constantly changing and there are new challenges all the time. Be prepared to dedicate long hours on education and on building processes to both find clients and perform your services. If you can secure a few clients and setup your process to perform SEO, the rest isn\u2019t too difficult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Over the past 10 years, SEO has become much more legitimate and less spammy. All of Google\u2019s updates throughout the years have really helped the internet become more organized and legit. You have to provide value and create actual content now to rank well, most of the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\nHow did you get introduced to digital marketing, more specifically SEO?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
How did you get introduced to digital marketing, more specifically SEO?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nAfter majoring in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan, I went to work in corporate at a Technology Consulting firm in Chicago. As a part of the business consulting team, all of my work centered around digital marketing for fortune 500 companies. With this experience and the knowledge I had gathered from self-educating on the internet, I left to start my own company in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n\nWhat are the services you provide to your clients?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nWe provide two primary services to our clients. First, we offer eCommerce services, where we help them sell their physical products online either through websites or Amazon FBA. Second, we offer Google SEO services to help grow their online visibility and increase traffic through organic ranking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n\nWhat strategy according to you will prevail in 2017 for SEO?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nRelevant relationship building is the most powerful SEO tactic in 2017. Google has always rewarded link building, but now more than ever relevancy and legitimacy are top priority. If you can build actual relationships with other websites who have a solid following and are related to your industry, a link from those websites will be more powerful than any other SEO strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n\nWhat would your advice be to people who are looking to take up digital marketing as a career choice?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nBe emotionally strong and dedicated to your business. Entrepreneurship and SEO, in particular, are a roller coaster ride. The industry is constantly changing and there are new challenges all the time. Be prepared to dedicate long hours on education and on building processes to both find clients and perform your services. If you can secure a few clients and setup your process to perform SEO, the rest isn\u2019t too difficult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
After majoring in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan, I went to work in corporate at a Technology Consulting firm in Chicago. As a part of the business consulting team, all of my work centered around digital marketing for fortune 500 companies. With this experience and the knowledge I had gathered from self-educating on the internet, I left to start my own company in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\nWhat are the services you provide to your clients?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
What are the services you provide to your clients?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nWe provide two primary services to our clients. First, we offer eCommerce services, where we help them sell their physical products online either through websites or Amazon FBA. Second, we offer Google SEO services to help grow their online visibility and increase traffic through organic ranking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n\nWhat strategy according to you will prevail in 2017 for SEO?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nRelevant relationship building is the most powerful SEO tactic in 2017. Google has always rewarded link building, but now more than ever relevancy and legitimacy are top priority. If you can build actual relationships with other websites who have a solid following and are related to your industry, a link from those websites will be more powerful than any other SEO strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n\nWhat would your advice be to people who are looking to take up digital marketing as a career choice?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nBe emotionally strong and dedicated to your business. Entrepreneurship and SEO, in particular, are a roller coaster ride. The industry is constantly changing and there are new challenges all the time. Be prepared to dedicate long hours on education and on building processes to both find clients and perform your services. If you can secure a few clients and setup your process to perform SEO, the rest isn\u2019t too difficult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What strategy according to you will prevail in 2017 for SEO?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nRelevant relationship building is the most powerful SEO tactic in 2017. Google has always rewarded link building, but now more than ever relevancy and legitimacy are top priority. If you can build actual relationships with other websites who have a solid following and are related to your industry, a link from those websites will be more powerful than any other SEO strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n\nWhat would your advice be to people who are looking to take up digital marketing as a career choice?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\n\nBe emotionally strong and dedicated to your business. Entrepreneurship and SEO, in particular, are a roller coaster ride. The industry is constantly changing and there are new challenges all the time. Be prepared to dedicate long hours on education and on building processes to both find clients and perform your services. If you can secure a few clients and setup your process to perform SEO, the rest isn\u2019t too difficult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
