Slide 14

Slide 14 text

#seosuccess by @aleyda from @orainti for #brightonseo In fact, the top 3 causes are related to budget/ resources issues!

#seosuccess by @aleyda from @orainti for #brightonseo There are 4 fundamental criteria to qualify by 
 identifying fit and align expectations in SEO There should be budget to invest and team involvement to support in content, development and link building There should be flexibility in the used Web platform and established processes to implement SEO actions There’s acceptance that results will be tied to execution and context, so results might need to be updated, along actions priorities if these change There should be willingness to wait long-term and execute at an on- going basis to see results Resources Flexibility Goals Context
