Rank your top anything:
Rank your best SEO marketing win:
Beat out .gov domains and sites like Korn Ferry for a data keyword. We have less than half their domain authority and basically just aggregated the original data those sites published.
Rank your top 3 SEO tools:
Rank your best SEO trick or tactic:
This is a trick I don’t use much anymore, but if you want traffic fast, steal it from sites in your industry with a skewed traffic graph. i.e the majority of their traffic comes from one blog post.
Rank what you love most about SEO as an industry:
It compounds. You’re not starting from scratch everyday, you don’t need to stress about staying ‘on’ all the time.
Rank your best SEO learning resource:
Your own site. Build your own site, get skin in the game, nothing will teach you more.
Rank the top 1-3 SEOs or Marketers that you most look up to:
Rank your number one cause/charity that you want to promote:
The Freelance Coalition for Developing Countries. I think Chima Mmeje is building something that the marketing world desperately needs here. It’s free training, mentorships, and support for BIPOC marketers. A resource like this would have been life-changing when I was just starting out.
