The American president declared himself a king this week. In the meantime, Meta is laying off thousands of people and deleting a number of old live broadcast recordings. TikTok is restructuring towards laying offs too. Google Reviews and Google Business are fixing bugs while Google's Business Profiles support team is absolutely backlogged. Whoddathunkit but,AIs like ChatGPT and DeepSeek might cheat to win simple games. Google makes the Gemini App the only way to access Google's AI on iOS. Google's Ad-Tech users can now target national security decision makers and people with chronic diseases. Most importantly (besides the king thing), Kevin Indig writes-up a meta-study he did of 19 serious studies of Google AI Overviews in Search Engine Journal in a long but SEO must-read article.

This episode is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.In this thought-provoking podcast episode, we dive deep into strategies for becoming better marketers and the power big tech companies have on our lives. We cover topics such as:* Are users powerless against big tech algorithms?* How can one protect themselves from unjust bans by tech giants?* In what ways is AI impacting marketing and the tools available?* How can marketers reduce the risk of being banned from major platforms?Back when Eli was responsible for SEO and driving traffic at a previous company, he had to hit the front page of social media, and Digg was an important part of the job. But one day, shockingly, the platform closed his account without warning.Despite not doing anything wrong, Eli couldn't get his original account back, and even worse - the CEO of Digg misattributed an unrelated account to him, worsening the situation. Transparency on these platforms can sometimes be seriously lacking.Eventually, he started a new account, which ended up being more successful. But the lesson was clear: algorithms have power, and they aren't always right. This raises questions about our reliance on Big Tech platforms and their potential repercussions.Fast forward to today, and we see this power dynamic continue to evolve. For example, Substack, Facebook, and other platforms can sometimes inaccurately or unfairly penalize individuals, leading to loss of income and reputation damage.So, what can we take away from these experiences? Recognize that Big Tech wields significant power over our work and lives and that their decisions aren't always accurate or fair. Be proactive in diversifying your online presence and digital strategy!Keep an eye on the power dynamics in your online interactions and identify where it makes sense to mitigate risks.Show notes* https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/21/technology/google-surveillance-toddler-photo.html* Why accounts get disabled by Google* Neuron* Chat GPT for iOS* Learn.xyz* AudioPen* The Verge* PassionfrootTime stamps[00:00:05] Improving as a Marketer: Prioritizing Time for Thinking and Copywriting Skills[00:04:15] The Importance of Copywriting in Social Media and Digital Marketing[00:05:19] The Power of Big Tech and the Impact on Everyday Lives[00:07:31] The Power and Potential Dangers of Big Tech Algorithms[00:14:26] Google Ads Account Bans and Difficulty Reaching Support[00:17:11] Unbanning and Reconciliation in Tech Companies[00:22:15] Derisking a Ban from Big Tech Companies[00:24:35] Eli Schwartz and Kevin Indig discuss AI's history and cool AI apps[00:25:54] AI and Marketing: How Artificial Intelligence is Changing the Game[00:28:57] The Art of Contrarian Marketing with Fred JoyalIf you want to sponsor this podcast and newsletter, please book a slot via Passionfroot.

This episode is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.In this episode, we discuss our favorite creative marketing channels.Kevin shares how Atlassian used Trello's email list to boost content from an SEO perspective, resulting in a significant increase in visits and shares.Eli shares his experience partnering with the Toilet Association of Singapore to create a humorous survey on bathroom cleanliness, which went viral and garnered media attention.Key takeaways- Think beyond digital: Radio ads, Hulu ads, and outdoor media (such as billboards and TV shoutouts) can offer cheaper and more creative ways to reach your audience.- Utilize community marketing: Building strong online communities around your product can surface product ambassadors who help push the product forward. These ambassadors can feel more genuine and effective compared to traditional influencers.- Don't forget email lists and messaging apps: Email lists, text, and WhatsApp can potentially reach many users, but it's important not to overdo it or cause brand damage.

Leaving your audience satisfied with every click So you have your beautiful new website. You've carefully written the copy and paid an arm and a leg for a fancy pants design, you've even done a little SEO, optimising your images, writing titles and metas and making an effort to speed up your site. But you've noticed something odd when you look at Google Analytics. Your time on site is low. People are only viewing one or two pages. And your conversions are lower than worm doing a limbo. ‘What went wrong?' you cry, gnashing your teeth. Well it could be your user experience. How people enjoy and consume the content on your site, and travel from point a to point b. Perhaps there are 15 steps before I can check out. Perhaps the font is so small it needs a microscope to read. Or the buttons have grey copy on a grey background. User experience is crucial not just for … the users, but also to please the Google beast, so lets dig into this topic today.

In this extended episode we explore the role AI in general and ChatGPT is having on the work within digital agencies. What are the opportunities and challenges that agencies face when using it?Are either of you currently using ChatGPT or AI tools in your daily work? If so, what and for what purposes? How have ChatGPT and related tools changed your work? What is the biggest opportunity you see with tools like ChatGPT and the many others that are quickly emerging? Name some concrete use cases. Anything you've seen that's really impressive/effective? What about general SEO and local SEO use cases? (if we haven't gotten into that yet.) What are the most immediate applications? Slightly farther out, how do you think people will be using these tools? What “manual” or tedious tasks will AI replace? Other use cases? Do you think AI tools make smaller agencies more competitive with larger ones? How do you think AI changes the economics of SEO? How might clients (large and SMB) themselves use AI tools/content? Will AI tools make clients less reliant on agencies; will it lead to more in-housing? How should you talk to clients about AI/ChatGPT tools and their future role in marketing, content creation, etc.?  What concerns, if any, do you have about ChatGPT and related tools? Dependence on these tools? Quality? Factual errors or bias? We're now seeing screenshots of Bing's new AI-search integration, and this week Google will preview its own search-AI mashup (speculating). While we don't know exactly how this will play out, how might a radically different search interface impact the future of SEO?  The Near Memo is a weekly conversation about Search, Social, and Commerce: What happened, why it matters, and the implications for local businesses and national brands.near memo ep 100Subscribe to our 3x per week newsletter at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/

A few decades ago, you'd go to the library to research a topic. Now, you just have to open up your browser, go to Google.com, and go through the search results.As a business, ranking higher on the search results page could drive hundreds, thousands, or even millions of visitors a month to your website—which could be worth big money with the right conversion strategy.So, the question is, how do you rank higher on search engines?Well, no one really knows because Google doesn't explicitly share its algorithm.But there are people who have cracked the code and have figured out strategies to rank number one on Google consistently.One of those people is Kevin Indig.

Kevin Indig, Growth Advisor at Kevin_Indig.com, discusses SEO strategy, tactics, and eCommerce SEO. Many SEOs and agencies are often limited by their lack of understanding when it comes to SEO strategy. While many SEOs prefer to focus on tactics, it's really the ability to develop a solid SEO strategy and get buy-in from stakeholders and executives that will get SEO the funding it needs to implement those strategies. Today, Kevin talks about SEO strategy versus SEO tactics.

Many marketers are crafting their 2023 marketing plans right now and like every year, they have initiatives on things they will build, optimize and expand. But there's a surprise brewing: most of these marketers are going to fail if their goals are tied to top-line acquisition.We are either in the midst of or entering an economic downturn which means demand is going to be on the decline. Marketers who don't get ahead of communicating this now are going to find themselves falling short of their goals to no fault of their own.Without communication on how demand factors into marketing performance, marketers are going to be asked to tactically recover the losses in traffic. That is an impossible task and will only lead to further disappointment. No amount of tweaks on content, titles and links are going to make people search if they aren't searching.In this episode, Eli and Kevin Indig discuss how marketers can still win in 2023 when the macro realities are likely going to overpower micro initiatives.

In this week’s episode of The Breakout Growth Podcast Sean Ellis and Ethan Garr chat with Kevin Indig, who at the time of the interview was the Director of SEO at Shopify. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can be an important growth driver for startups, but it is an easy channel to misunderstand and get wrong. We wanted to talk to someone who is best-in-class in this field to separate truth from fiction and find out how growth leaders can support, leverage, and embrace SEO in their businesses. Fortunately, Kevin brought his “A” game to the conversation and did a great job of demystifying SEO for our listeners. He explains why SEO is a must-have for some companies, but just a nice-to-have for others. Then he describes why, when SEO is a necessary channel for growth, companies should invest early and heavily to maximize their potential. In the past, SEO could feel very “hacky” and there were definitely a lot of bad actors in the space. Kevin shows us why today’s SEO is won with a deep focus on delivering value, why it needs to be validated like any other channel, and why elements like backlinks continue to be important. While you shouldn’t expect to leave this conversation as an SEO expert, you will very likely be in a much better place to support, guide, and set up your organization for SEO success after you hear Kevin share his knowledge and experience. This is one of our more directly practical discussions and one we really enjoyed. So click that play button and jump in with Sean and Ethan as we look to better understand how to drive growth through Search Engine Optimization with Kevin Indig.
