Greg Gifford: Why Your SEO Strategy is Failing

The Dealer Playbook

There’s a good reason that many companies have SEO experts on their teams and spend resources and money on using the tactic in marketing activities. Well, in this episode Greg Gifford is here to help us understand why that is and why we should too.

Greg Gifford is not just a name in the SEO world; he’s a force to be reckoned with. As the COO of Search Lab Digital, Greg has shared his expertise globally, helping businesses enhance their online presence. Known for his engaging and practical approach to local SEO, Greg is the go-to guy for anyone serious about mastering the art of search engine optimization.

What We Discuss In This Episode:

In this episode, Greg Gifford and I dive into the ever-changing world of SEO. We kick things off by talking about the evolution of SEO and how it's been as unpredictable as the Marvel Universe, emphasizing the importance of staying agile and innovative to keep up with Google's algorithm updates.

While there's a lot of buzz about AI's impact on SEO. Greg demystifies these claims, explaining why AI tools are not the ultimate game-changers some believe them to be. "AI isn't the magic bullet for SEO. It's a tool that needs careful handling and human oversight to ensure quality."

Content is king, but context is the emperor. Greg stresses the necessity of creating valuable, relevant content that answers your customers' questions. "Anticipating customer questions and providing those answers is crucial," he says. We explore beyond keyword stuffing to a more holistic approach, aiming to help your business stand out and foster deeper engagement with your audience.

Thanks, Greg Gifford!
