Some of our blog favorites and a video worth watching
It’s a busy time of the year. You’ve got unread emails, too many open web browser tabs, and a to do list that makes you shudder.
So instead of a long blog post about SEO best practices or how to create a 2021 SEO and digital marketing plan, we’ve got a different type of blog for you.
Here is a list of seven blogs that stood out for us in 2020 – blogs that contain useful advice about SEO, search, content, and Google:
