By zipping through the following checklist, there’s a good chance you’... →

Posted by rMaynes1The implementation of a solid SEO strategy often gets put on the back burner — behind website redesigns, behind client work, behind almost everything — and even when it is taken seriously, you have to fight for every resource for implementation. SEO must be a priority. However, convincing the company executives to prioritize it and allocate budget to SEO initiatives can feel like scaling a mountain. Sound familiar? Convincing company executives that SEO is one of the most critical elements... →

Posted by FeliciaCrawfordNow, I know we technically have a few days left in 2017, but I'm ready to dive head-first into a fond, full-blown retrospective. Each year we look back on what we've published, compiling and sharing the pieces you liked best.

This year, however, we're doing things just a little differently.A lot has changed in the past year...The way we ru... →

Posted by Alex-TThe chances that your company invests in a content marketing strategy are very high. Content Marketing Institute revealed that 89% of B2B and 86% of B2C marketers use content marketing, while the money spent on this activity ranges between 26% to 30% of an entire marketing budget.

Not only will it benefit your brand’s awareness, but it will also help yo... →

Posted by Dr-Pete Summary: The end of November saw a spike in the average length of SERP snippets. Across 10K keywords (90K results), we found a definite increase but many oddities, such as video snippets.

Back in spring of 2015, we reported that Google search snippets seemed to be breaking the 155-character limit, but our data suggested that these cases were fa... →
