  1. SEO requires both technical and creative expertise to increase the visibility of your website and ultimately achieve high positioning in search result rankings. Google, and to a lesser extent other search engines, has become increasingly sophisticated in discerning crude techniques such as keyword stuffing and spurious web links.

  2. Hey Martin and Juan. Thanks for sharing this episode. What you've mentioned in this episode, I've added into an On-page SEO guide on my blog.

    1. Is from the web development requirements.
    2. Is in regards to content. But more importantly, content themes and angles that will serve the user. (Demonstrating value to the web visitor – https://businessgrowthdigitalmarketing.com/on-page-seo/#How_to_demonstrate_value_with_your_web_page_content )

    I'm looking forward to watching your future videos.

    Cheers

  3. What is the point of this video and who is the target audience? These questions are asked by people who do not care about SEO at IT party just not to stand alone in silece. People who are actually working on SEO need very different set of questions. So again, what is the point of this video?

  4. In one word I 'll say "Vanilla", I think I give more information about Search Engine Rankings and Optimization in the first minute of my first call to prospects.
    I think this is meant for the end user and so I shall use it for my prospects, thanks for putting it together though.
