How do you think SEO has changed over the last 10 years?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n
From a conventional prospective of on-page optimization,off-pagee optimization and signals, the big changes have occurred related to:
\n\u2022 Keywords- Penguin and Panda addressed SEO\u2019s who had a tendency to keyword stuff and create pages just for search, which was reinforced by Googles Hummingbird update and the advent of semantic search which implied intent. Ultimately Google found a way to reward writers who wrote to their audience rather that for the search engines.
\n\u2022 Importance of content- Most marketers know the phrase \u201ccontent is king\u201d but in the last 10 years and in particular in late 2011 google that phrase should have been refined to \u201cgood content is king\u201d because Google effectively found a way with Panda to attack the content spinners (folks creating spammy content) of the world.
\n\u2022 Links- In 2012 with the Penguin update, Google really started to get granular on identifying the quality of website link schemes and reshaped bad link practices. They exemplified the adage \u201cquality vs quantity\u201d, holding SEO\u2019s accountable for bad link building practices.
\n\u2022 Onsite and in SERP behavior- Although largely studied and largely debated, onsite behavior like bounce rate, time on site, pages per visit, and in SERP behavior like pogo sticking (clicking a search result and leaving immediately), placement vs expected CTR, etc.. have respected studies that support that they have a bearing on placement, that should be considered.
\nSome of the biggest changes in the last 10 years were relative to search result pages (SERP\u2019s):
\n\u2022 Adwords- Adwords results have moved around considerably and have not been completely eliminated from the right sidebar.
\n\u2022 The local stack- The introduction of location-based results based on searches locations was a big change and gave SEO\u2019s the opportunity to place another top fold listing in the search results with the Google My Business listings.
\n\u2022 Responsiveness- Although the big scare of Mobilegeddon in April 2015 proved to be a bit more of a scare initially, it has become a standard for websites desiring top placement on mobile devices to have responsive websites (websites that adapt to display effectively in mobile).
\n\u2022 Knowledge Graphs\/Answer Boxes- Another new opportunity to get that coveted top spot on page one. The knowledge graphs attempt to answer users questions directly and require a deviation from standard on page optimization but are worth the effort.Overall changes for SEO\u2019s include:
\n\u2022 Having to optimize for more devices and potential placements on the SERP\u2019s.
\n\u2022 Consider load time, SSL, and user behavior factors that we\u2019re always important to UX but know also have a bearing on SEO.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

How did you get introduced to digital marketing, more specifically SEO?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n
I owned a printing and graphic design company that was getting requests for websites on AOL and we had the computers and graphics team so we started building websites in late 1998, before the end of \u201999 we were exclusively doing websites and SEO and no longer doing printing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n

What are the services you provide to your clients?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n
We are a full service Digital Agency, we provide website design, development, SEO, digital marketing, online advertising management, Cloud services.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n

What strategy according to you will prevail in 2018 for SEO?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n
Our strategy is simple, and one we feel will survive in 2018 and far beyond. We hire very talented web masters, SEO\u2019s and digital marketers who love what they do and keep an environment that fosters ongoing growth and education, sort of a think tank environment. Our SEO programs are predicated more on hours per month and desired amount of pages optimized because our expert team handles every aspect of a websites SEO. Once Key Performance Indicators are established our team implements the SEO elements that will most directly affect those KPI\u2019s. This way, you get the fastest results, you are not paying for a package that may consist of many services you don\u2019t need and may leave out many you do need. Our client retention rates are over 97% and average client organic traffic gains under contract for 2017 were 523%, so we feel we have a business model that is a solid win\/win for clients and our company.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n

What 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
Digital Marketing and SEO are very specialized fields, I recommend people looking into these as a career choice, do their research identifying SEO Companies that outperform competitors in their own competitor terms and start reaching out to those companies for intern programs or entry level positions. The most effective way to learn digital marketing and SEO is from experts that are getting the results in the field.<\/div>\n
