Marcin started SEO in London, climbing the corporate ladder until reaching the position of Head of SEO at EF Education First. Now he runs his own SEO company in the English-speaking market and wants to share with you some insights on SEO:
Search engine algorithms are constantly changing and SEO is an increasing challenge. You should base your strategy on building the page's authority, and keywords you choose should be above all relevant.
Mistakes to avoid:
- Making your site local and then converting it for a global audience is a trap. You should start with the global version.
- Overgrowing your site is a mistake. Nowadays everybody (search engines especially!) want a website to be fast and simple in navigation. Make it lean.
- Going after big keywords is not a wise choice in the beginning. There is tremendous competition for big keywords. Better find niche keywords that compile with your business.
Some indicators showing it may be the right time to invest your money in SEO:
- You need to scale up.
- You have some early success.
- You acquired a founding or budget for marketing.
