Most SEOs are selling snake oil. And it could be affecting a site’s performance. You might not agree with this but should check this episode to know why. 

For today’s podcast, I have invited Jeff Ferguson who is a passionate growth marketer and digital educator who has led the online marketing efforts for companies such as Hilton Hotels, Kimberly-Clark, InterActiveCorp, Experian, and Napster.

He is honoured as one of PPC Hero’s “Top 25 Most Influential PPC Experts” for three years in a row, Jeff Ferguson is a regular presenter at Ad:tech, AllFacebook Expo, Conversion Conference, eMetrics, Search Marketing Expo (SMX), Digital Hollywood, Online Marketing Summit (OMS) and Consumer Electronics Show (CES). He has been both a speaker and board member at Search Engine Strategies (SES).

We have discussed intriguing topics which include why SEOs are just guessing and how SEOs get caught up in data and tech and strategy? And coming back to basics, what comes before SEO? Why many SEOs are selling snake oil?

Jeff and I also talked about the SEO philosophies that you should be following with your online business. What are the paid marketing philosophies that have nothing to do with tweaking PPC campaigns? And how Jeff sees marketing going full circle and coming back to the old-school ways marketers used to make money?

Last but not the least, we both shared our take on the buyer's journey being so critical for growing your online business.
