Thank you to Ahrefs for sponsoring this episode. Apply a brand marketing use case to monitor and measure using Ahrefs.
This show is kind of a follow up to Season 1, episode 2 "Why I Dislike Client SEO".
But in this episode I parse out why we THINK that agency SEO is the only way to monetize our SEO skills.
Maybe that's a weigh station for some that are like me and looking for a more balanced power dynamic between SEO and a principal.
It took some doing but I think I've assembled the parts to create the true freedom I've been working to achieve these past couple of years once I knew an agency was NOT what I wanted.
If that's you, grab a listen. Let me know.
