073: The Top Takeaways Revealed From SMX Advanced 2017 w/Marie Haynes

Somehow I had no episode for this week’s show. So I said, “as an SEO myself, what do I really want to know about right now that I can share with my listeners ?” The answer I kept coming to was “what happened at SMX Advanced that I need to know about for the SEO work I do?”So today … an episode just recorded an hour ago, I invited Marie Haynes (the very first guest ever on Experts) to come back and share what she learned at SMX Advanced.We covered a ton … including what user engagement really is to Google, mobile ranking factors, should you disavow links and more.Enjoy Never miss a new show!
