It's been a little over a year since ChatGPT became public and exploded onto the scene. So many of us were overwhelmed, awestruck, excited, and even a little bit anxious about its seemingly limitless capacity. It obviously did not take us long to envision a world that almost every 19th century science fiction writer warned us about; a world in which the creation becomes more powerful than the creator (how many times has Mary Wollstonecraft rolled over in her grave in the last 15 months?).But ...

The Geeks are back for a new season, and to start us off, we’re going back to our roots to discuss off-page SEO, one of the three foundations of search engine optimisation.In her own words, Genny tries to define ethical link-building strategies, but as soon as Jo Priest (Geeky Tech’s head of off-page SEO) gives his professional two cents, she realises that getting links is a lot of work, and the boundaries between what Google defines as “whitehat” and “blackhat” SEO is kind of hard to define....

Why does user experience matter so much to me?

Welcome listeners to another round of SEO Unfiltered. Today, I’ve asked my friend Mohamed Amine Lakaab to help me understand digital advertising.

What’s up, tech marketers? We are already at episode two of this ragtag SEO podcast, and we are feeling great. Last month, we learned how marketers (such as yourself) can take more control of their website’s SEO.

But before you start pressing buttons, pulling levers, and just generally being a smart alec, you...
What’s up, marketing Geeks? On this podcast's very first episode of SEO Unfiltered, I sat down with my boss and CEO of Geeky Tech, Ben Hawkshaw-Burn, to discuss why he thinks marketing decision-makers should take more control of their SEO.
