Bing On Google????
Is it to show up higher than the competition?
13 @aaronfriedman
To “Increase Followers” or “Engage in Conversations With Customers”?
14 @aaronfriedman
These Are Not Good Reasons

This Is Your Companies Org Chart
And You Think You Are In Charge
20 @aaronfriedman
Guess What Probably never
thought you would
hear an agency guy
say this, but SEO
might not be for you
(at least right now)
21 @aaronfriedman
They downright ignore
EVERYTHING I say…
It Totally Sucks!
NOBODY LISTENS!
22 @aaronfriedman
THIS IS HOW I FEEL
23 @aaronfriedman
“Our queue is 3 months long”
“We have no bandwidth”
“We are already doing SEO”
“Sure thing” (blatantly ignored)
IT Pushback
24 @aaronfriedman
“We need legal review”
(2 months later)
“We can’t say that”
“We can say that, except change all the
words”
Legal Pushback
25 @aaronfriedman
“We make bicycle stabilization and
traction surfaces, not tires”.
“Sorry, that keyword doesn’t work with
the messaging”
Branding Teams Pushback

26 @aaronfriedman
“Too much content to keep track of”
“Content is useless”
“Not enough content being
generated”
General Content Confusion

28 @aaronfriedman
Business owners need to
realize that this is not
magic
NOT SO FAST!
SEO Can Rule The Organization
