I enjoy communicating with SEOs whether it's through a video call, phone call, or DMs. If you're an #SEO and haven't said hello, please comment below or shoot me a DM😀 I'd love to meet even more of the great people out there.

Writing meta descriptions may be my least favorite SEO activity. Why? 1. Google will rewrite ~70% of the time 2. Most pages don’t rank well enough for it to have an impact on CTR anyway I’m definitely in the “last resort” camp when it comes to prioritization.

#SEOs , take 15 seconds right now and do a site: search of your site with "lorem" as the keyword. Example - site:[insertdomain] "lorem" It's a simple way to find CMS template pages that made their way into the index on accident.

@dohertyjf @daniellgoldstei In fact, Wayfair started off as dozens of exact match domains as dropshipping sites utilizing SEO. They were then consolidated into one (Wayfair) site a little over a decade ago. The whole company wouldn’t exist without SEO.

There's often a missed opp in SEO to go after branded terms: - [company] reviews - [company] phone number/address/email - [company] history - [company] coupons/discounts - [company] careers/jobs SEOs tend to focus on non-brand, but owning branded queries first should be a must.

@LidiaInfanteM Zoom out. “Not strategic enough” usually means “too tactical.” So what are industry goals? Then the company goals? Then marketing/site goals? Then SEO goals? Usually there’s enough thinking & learning at that point to be in a mindset to think strategy first and tactical second.

Everyone is talking about the new Coverage report in GSC, but what nobody has brought up is that you can filter for 'Unsubmitted pages only.' Before, I believe it was either (1) all pages or (2) all pages submitted in a sitemap. Now seeing the pages not in a sitemap is great!
