Optimize your on-site search
Welcome to the very first edition of this weekly blog post about SEO and digital marketing.
I have mentored interns and entry-level coworkers in digital marketing and SEO, and have worked with inspiring and entrepreneurs interested in SEO as a means to grow their business. The two questions that always come up are:
- Where do I find valuable, hands-on information?
- How do I avoid getting overwhelmed by the ever-changing nature of digital marketing?
The purpose of this blog post is to answer both questions every week, more likely every Tuesday, with no more than 3 resources carefully hand-picked by me from the top experts and best practitioners in the field, guaranteed with hands-on advice and methods for your digital marketing strategy. I promise you the information you will find is applicable and pragmatic, away from the FOMO inducing theories that won’t get you anywhere. I want to help you build long-lasting digital marketing and SEO strategies with proven methods you can implement today.
This format was inspired by Stéphanie Walter's Pixels of the Week, a weekly post full of brilliant links around UX and UI that I highly recommend checking out. 👍
Okay, now let's get right to it.
⏰ #NOW - WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO
Well, first of all, I started this new weekly project and it is very exciting! A few weeks ago I also got LASIK surgery and I just moved back in Strasbourg. We still have no internet and no plates to eat on, but we do have new desks in a dedicated home office room! 🏡
