Episode Highlights:
02:51 - Google is where your users are, like where your audience is. They're searching for your products on Google, to find the products and services that you offer essentially. I think we have a couple of statistics here, but one of the big one that always stands out for me is that something like 90% or 92% percent of all online experiences begin with a search. And if you just imagine like the breadth of that, how many just online experiences are happening on a daily basis and how many of those–the vast majority of those–are beginning with like a Google search? You want to be in there.
07:12 - There's really three core processes that happen from a search engine's perspective and how they actually work. There's crawling, indexing, and serving results.
20:22 - If it's a high value, high potential keyword for your business, it's relevant to what you do, you can help the people searching for that. You want to try to appear as often and as highly as possible in that search engine result for that keyword. And that's what off page SEO is all about.
