Buckle up for today's episode as the Digital Marketing Mentor takes you on an exciting journey with Wil Reynolds, the founder, and VP of Innovation at SEER Interactive. As one of the most esteemed digital marketing agencies in the U.S., we'll talk to this former economics teacher about his life-long passion for learning, creating value, and giving back to others and what led to his creation of SEER Interactive. Wil also discusses the power of mentorship and the importance of the human connection with customers through SEO in the face of growing AI influence. Episode Highlights Wil's passion for giving back, creating change, and making an impact was born from his early professional years as an economics teacher. His passion was put into overdrive after being denied the opportunity to volunteer, which became a significant value he instilled in the creation of SEER Interactive. Wil has been grateful for his mentors throughout his career and says they have taught him some of his most valuable life lessons. The truest indication that a mentor has done a good job is when the mentee has outgrown them, which has happened to Wil several times. Will is not anti-SEO. Instead, he supports the most ‘frictionless' way for users to access their desired information, which seems to be through AI. The invention of AI has undoubtedly helped with SEO and content creation. However, Wil says it's important not to lose the human connection, including using your ideas instead of those from a bot and connecting with your viewers through organic social media traffic.Episode LinksWil Reynolds LinkedInWil Reynolds YouTubeWil Reynolds InstagramSeer Interactive Website Seer Interactive LinkedInFollow The Digital Marketing Mentor: Website and Blog: thedmmentor.com Instagram: @thedmmentor Linkedin: @thedmmentor YouTube: @thedmmentor Interested in Digital Marketing Services, Careers, or Courses?

As Seer Interactive's Founder and Vice President of Innovation, Wil Reynolds develops strategies and innovations to help clients build traffic and make money. His methods have shaped the search industry worldwide, and he regularly speaks for marketing conferences worldwide. Wil had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “I'm sick of hanging out with people who want to tell me how successful I am” (7:35). “Nobody that's good got better when other people said, ‘you're good'” (7:40). “Nobody [inspires me]. Everybody's got some stuff going on with them” (11:45). “Mostly I just look for people who walk the walk. That's it” (12:05). “I tend to value humility” (14:20). “I like to keep things simple, so I just want to raise a kind kid” (20:30). “My number one goal is to raise a kid who sees things in the world, sees things that are wrong, and says ‘I can be a part of solving them'” (20:35). “When I see a kid being really kind to another kid, I instantly go too ‘What are their parents modeling? Am I modeling those kinds of behaviors'” (25:00). “We're now hiring a Community Impact manager specifically to make sure we improve [our number of volunteer hours]” (29:30). “I got all this by not wanting it, by just trying to be better than I was yesterday” (30:00). “Be unafraid to suck at something new” (30:30). “The ROI on culture is at an all-time low because people don't want to admit to themselves that it's about the money” (41:55). “If you take no feedback, you don't learn, you don't grow. But then you also have to learn to put that feedback in context at the time and the person and ask should I really listen to all this stuff equally?” (42:40). “Everything is about how you feel when you put your head on the pillow at night and the decisions that you've made that day” (44:50). “If I don't have boundaries, I may try to be too available to too many people and not be available to the people who support me” (46:45). “Watching somebody grow, watching somebody get an opportunity, watching your company be a platform for somebody to get that next best job, it's like teaching” (51:15). “I love losing because it's humbling” (52:50). “I like minimizing excuses for myself” (54:50). “I don't care what anybody does as long as they're true to themselves” (59:10). “Be true to you and be brave enough to say, ‘This is what I value.'” (59:20).

How to survive, let alone succeed, in business has been changing slowly for decades. In the last 5 to 10 years, we've witnessed a much more radical transformation — a need for modern-day businesses to challenge the status quo. To reject beliefs that are widely and blindly accepted across the industry and create something new. This is the key to innovation according to our latest guest, Wil Reynolds, VP Innovation at Seer Interactive — a digital marketing agency that specializes in innovation across SEO, PPC, and Analytics. When Wil founded Seer in 2002, it was a one-person search firm. Today, it's comprised of a talented team of over 150 people who strive for leadership across the marketing industry. Seer was founded on the belief that when you share your time and talents with the community, everyone benefits. Wil's vision was to give everyone the flexibility they needed to contribute to the community in meaningful ways. Over a decade later, this still rings true. In this episode, he joins us to share his unconventional approach to running an agency and his philosophy on innovation. We also dive deeper into: Wil's entrepreneurial journey His decision to step down as CEO How to create an open & innovative workplace environment The importance of challenging executive leaders How to define innovation The value of thinking differently How to balance running a high-growth business & family Check out these resources that were mentioned in the show: Learn more about Seer Interactive Subscribe to Seer Interactive on Youtube Connect with Wil on LinkedIn Read Wil's blog on Medium:” If you want help with work life balance, define it.” If you want to hear more, subscribe to Leading with Data onApple Podcasts,Spotify, orhere.

As analysts, it can be easy to get so focused on the data that we lose sight of the imperative that we answer meaningful questions (aka: validating relevant hypotheses). On this episode, we sat down with Wil Reynolds, co-founder and accidental lead generator for SEER Interactive, for a discussion that turned out to be about curiosity and the power of trying to prove yourself wrong (and being willing to invest the time to do so!). In the end, we concluded that Wil has always been a "data person," even if he doesn't necessarily see himself as such. That is... actually kinda' profound!

Wil Reynolds (seerinteractive.com) turned down $50 million dollars to buy his company. Why he did it is one of the most valuable lessons of personal finance you will ever hear. He had his number to walk away. He had the opportunity at life-changing money. He wrote “My house is enough, my cars are enough, my kids' private school is enough, my vacation fund is enough. I've seen enough of the world. My rainy day fund is enough, my take my parents on vacation fund is enough, my buy a small house for my in-laws to move near their grandkids fund is enough. There is no more “Life-changing money” for me. I've lived a life well within my means, so what do I do when I'm content? What would you do? Well, start by listening to this episode to get your ideas. [0:00] Intro [2:44] MONEY MISTAKE OR MAKEUP [5:41] How did your childhood upbringing affect who you are today? “I live in fear of getting used to more and more shit that separates me from most people's reality, you should too, that is how you start going from “if I could only have a million, to nah I need a billion)” [7:42] On the struggle of teaching kids financial hardship [9:39] On the value of mixed residential neighbourhoods [11:25] How do you avoid the trap of nothing is ever enough? [13:26] On the value of cars [14:42] How do you find your number? How do you know how much you need to walk away from it all and retire comfortably? [17:50] On the importance of getting to you your “why” of money. Why do you need money? What purpose does it serve you? [18:55] What would you tell your younger self about money? [21:46] On not levelling up your lifestyle (especially when you're a millionaire) [23:46] On the urge to splurge after a long time of COVID restrictions [26:31] How much do outsiders influence our money decisions? [29:48] What was it like turning down $50 million dollars? [34:50] How do your employees feel now? [41:37] Why do you give so much without expecting anything in return? How is it so innate for you to give so much money? [47:39] An example of how kindness solves anger [49:04] Why perspective is fundamental [50:59] RAPID FIRE QUESTIONS What's in your wallet? A book everyone should read? What was your first job and what did you learn from it? What is a commonly held belief about your industry or space that you passionately disagree with? If you had one tweet that everyone in the world would read, what would it say? What's your number (to walk away from it all and live financially independent, never worry about money again?) If you had no obligations and no shortage of money, what would you spend your time doing? What do you want to be known for when you die? [1:06:18 - 1:07:12] Outro
Only recently have I started believing that nothing is ever random. We're all carriers of blessings for others and we should be open to the intuitive hits we receive from above. Today's episode captures just how Wil Reynolds is a form of blessing to the people he works with. Instead of focusing on how he can make more money for himself, he focuses on what he can do to help people because it brings him more joy. Wil has helped several Fortune 500 companies become successful with their SEO strategies through his data-driven approach. He gives himself time to think to create something valuable and focuses more on what fills his bucket. What sets him apart is that he finds more joy in helping people achieve their goals and avoids rushing through life. Tune in to this episode if you want to learn how to find what brings you joy, what fills your bucket, and why you should be open to receiving intuitive hits from above.

Inclusivity has always been a hot-button topic but it has been pushed to the forefront recently through social justice concerns. To further the discussion of minorities in business, Kelly invites Wil Reynolds to talk about his own experiences with bias, minority representation in business, and what he believes is the best path forward. Minorities in business have to overcome biases to find the same level of success and create change Wil Reynolds is the founder of Seer Interactive. Starting the company after failing to find the type of opportunities he wanted elsewhere, Wil has been a pioneer in search marketing and an inspiration for many. Listen to Kelly and Wil talk about minorities in business: How Wil decided to start his own business The transition from going solo to hiring employees and having an office The difference between looking for a job and looking for a client Did race and age have an impact on finding clients? How Wil got his big break in business Overcoming someone’s bias as minorities in business Does Wil consider himself to be a success story? Finding and modeling good work/life balance Being a role model to younger generations of minorities in business Diversity hiring initiatives Creating a professional and familial legacy More about Kelly Phillips Erb: Kelly is the creator and host of the new Taxgirl podcast series. Kelly is a practicing tax attorney with considerable experience and knowledge. She works with taxpayers like you every day. One of the things that she does is help folks out of tax jams, and hopefully, keep others from getting into them.

Wil Reynolds shares his thoughts on competition, service, empathy and purpose. Wil talks about the experiences and lessons that set the foundation of his success today - to love losing as much as winning, to “meet people where they are at”, and to spend time working on yourself instead of blaming others. Wil shares how creating a company culture of volunteer work has helped him and his team “check the right boxes” - choosing impact and purpose driven growth over chasing profits. This episode is a raw and real masterclass in business leadership and personal development. Highlighted Quote “Love to Lose” I like to win... I like beating people at stuff and I like getting beat, like I like the feeling of getting beat at something, because there's no excuses… if they scored more points than you… go home and learn. “Check The Right Boxes” The amount of joy that I get off of watching people grow is off the charts. I get so much joy off of watching people come to this company and grow. I throw a lot of money into resources that other people wouldn't to help people to grow. You can't change where you get joy from… a lot of people get joy out of watching the number get bigger. They get joy out of that business class flight, that first class flight, they get joy taking those pictures on Instagram and showing people that sh**, they get joy out of those inc 5000 lists. You got to know what boxes you're trying to check. You got to know what boxes we're trying to check or otherwise you'll always be kind of rudderless.

Wil is the Founder and Vice President of Innovation at SEER Interactive, a 150 person digital marketing agency specializing in using Big Data to improve SEO and Paid media campaigns. No offense to any of my other guests, but Wil has been my favorite presenter in SEO for many years now. He's dynamic on stage while packing in tons of useful tips. He has a unique ability to talk about topics that are really technical and then pivot to topics that are really human while being really engaging the entire time. Many of Wil's talks in recent years have been about his passion for big data. He had an epiphany a few years ago when a teammate at SEER challenged him to a keyword research competition. Since then, he's been able to find incredible opportunities for his clients that are entirely overlooked by most SEOs. He's also found ways to save paid search clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in wasted spend. I'm going to start our conversation talking about big data and how SEER uses it to get an advantage. Wil is currently raising money for his annual sleep out supporting the Covenant House. Wil sleeps on the street to raise money for homeless youth in his native Philadelphia. His goal is to raise $25,000 this year. I'm going to ask him all about it during our conversation. Check the show notes for ways that you can contribute. Grab your favorite beverage and join me for a conversation with one of the real leaders in SEO. We're going to talk about how to cut waste out of your paid campaigns by using big data, why it's important to do RCS, and we'll talk about the time he swapped CEO roles with Rand Fishkin.
