It’s been a few months since you hired an SEO; how can you tell if things are headed in the right direction? 

 

In this episode of Search Off the Record, Lizzi and John interview Erika Varangouli, head of Branded Content at Riverside.fm, about all things hiring and working with SEOs. Just because uplift isn’t happening doesn’t mean they’re not doing work; we walk through practical things to check throughout the process, such as how things are prioritized, is there regular reporting, and proactive communication around things that don’t go as planned.
