That new job? That guest column in the publication of your dreams? Help promoting that piece? A chance to walk through your product with your ideal sales target? Getting people you don't know to do you small (and medium-sized) favors that can have huge impacts on your marketing? HARD. But there are ways to ease this friction, increase your odds of success, and form real relationships with powerful professional impacts.

Like it or loathe it, as SEOs we often find ourselves being asked to explain rankings, especially for highly visible head terms - but I’ve noticed in the last few years that for these most competitive terms, the normal rules don’t always apply. In this talk, I’ll dig into whether and how Google is going beyond our normal understanding of ranking factors, and how we need to react.
There's only one KPI that every client has: more. More traffic, more leads—more of whatever metric you're reporting. Ten percent growth? Why wasn't it fifteen? Six hundred shares? Why wasn't it 1,000?
If we can't set relative, valid benchmarks, we can't set expectations. Reporting becomes a Sisyphean task.
This leads to friction with our direct contact and—critically—weakens the ability of our data to translate throughout an organization.
