With a specialized staff, each staff member has specific tasks they are responsible for. For example, most SEO agencies and SEO would handle everything regarding SEO and thus not get the desired results. I hand train each staff member on tasks such as GMB posts, GMB Optimization, Technical SEO, Click Through Rate Manipulation, On-page SEO, and content.The difference between Rank Fortress staff and your average SEO agency is that I live in the Philippines, and all work together at my house.
