He is based in Zurich, Switzerland and is known for his regular Google Webmaster Hangouts - where he takes live Q&A from webmasters and SEOs.

The cameras on phones are improving every year and have made shooting video on your phone so easy to do. David Basulto saw this trend and decided to help us all shoot better video with our phones.

What do you more often - call or text? For many (especially millennials) texting has become the preferred method of communication and Aman Brar CEO of Canvas thinks the next evolution in the hiring process should include texting. A recent study found that 86% of respondents aged 18-30 felt positive when recruiters utilized text messaging during the interview process. Plus, there are many benefits for the recruiters and HR managers too. It eases the process of reaching today's talent, saves time, and can even eliminate bias in the hiring process.

You've heard Erin mention on the show before that agency behind Edge of the Web (Site Strategics) is an agile digital marketing agency but what does that mean and why did we decide to become agile? When Site Strategics wanted to become an agile digital marketing agency earlier this year, we reached out to this week's guest Muhammad Yasin, the director of marketing at PERQ. He and his team shifted to agile marketing a couple years before and our team picked his brain about some of the lessons he learned in the process of this shift. So this week, having realized we've never dedicated a show to the topic, we decided to bring Muhammad on the show with our COO Jason Fletcher to talk about agile marketing and why both of our organizations work in this manner. To learn more about PERQ, we had the co-founders of the company on our show a couple years ago. Listen to that show here: http://edgeofthewebradio.com/seo-podcast/show-68-perq-consumer-incentives/

Finding that perfect digital marketing agency or consultant can be a difficult task for a business. Many great businesses have been burned in the past by a bad agency while the good agencies and consultants struggle to get work. John Doherty saw this issue and decided to do something about it. So, in 2013 he launched Credo. Credo looks to match businesses with reputable and vetted consultants and agencies. Every consultant or agency is vetted by John and then he helps that business find the right consultant or agency to fit their needs and budget. John has spent several years in digital marketing, previously working as a consultant with Distilled. He has worked with small-VC backed start-ups to large hotel chains with multiple brands. John is a great resource in the SEO and digital marketing industry, so we are certainly excited to bring him on this episode of Edge of the Web.

Have you noticed an increase of videos that are showing up in your Facebook feed? Well, this certainly is a trend we are seeing and one we predicted. But with this increase in videos, it is getting harder and harder to get your video noticed. So this week, we wanted to talk with David Feinman, CEO of Viral Ideas, a video marketing agency out of Philadelphia. David gained national recognition for creating The Zombie Run that went viral across the country - getting featured by CNN and Wired. David shares with us some great tips on how to get your video noticed and keep them watching throughout the whole video. All this and more, today on the EDGE!

What is programmatic advertising? It has become a common practice in digital marketing agencies, but the term might be new to most people. Programmatic Advertising is the process of targeting specific users with your ad - which can be a more efficient spend of advertising dollars. The IAB is estimating that by 2018, programmatic advertising will be over 80% of a company's marketing spend - so it is definitely a market digital marketers need to be aware of. So we wanted to bring on Priya Kapoor of Point It. They have a great programmatic team at Point It and Priya is one of their Programmatic Campaign Managers. She has been in digital marketing for only a couple years and has caught on very quickly! This show we also have a very exciting announcement to make! Edge of the Web just received the "Best Podcast/Audio Series" award for 2017 from the Content Marketing Institute and Content Marketing Awards! We are very honored to have received the award and we're excited to meet everyone at the Content Marketing World in September.

Paul Klebanov has been building multi-million dollar websites since he was 14 years old and by the time he was 27, he had made $3.1 Million from the e-commerce website - and then lost it all.

Plus, he is a speaker for SEMrush and has regular speaking gigs, webinars, interviews on a regular basis.

"Five years from now, the world is a dark and terrible place. Our lives and our experiences are managed by robots, machines, and artificial intelligence which are owned and operated by international conglomerates." Those words were spoken recently by today's featured guest Jono Alderson at the Friends of Search 2017 conference a few months ago. Jono Alderson is the Principal Consultant for Distilled and he has spent the last two years researching and reading every press release, studying every merger and acquisition, analyzing every movement being made by some of these global companies like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Facebook, Uber, and more. This week we discuss with Jono why he thinks this future is a possibility and discuss how we can as marketers protect our jobs and improve our skill set for this new machine learning/AI world. All this and more, today on THE EDGE!

It was nearly one year to the day when we last talked to Nicholas Chimonas, head of Technical SEO at Page One Power, on Edge of the Web.

How do you create the content your audience wants?

They have a small team and each team member is only in charge of four clients...that's it. They also vote on whether they should work with a new client, and if it is not unanimous, then they don't work with them. And did I mention they are all remote? Mike is also very passionate about culture and has great thoughts on building company culture. He even wrote a great blog for one of their clients about how he built his culture-first company.

Five years ago we started a radio show on the northside of Indianapolis. We broadcasted live at 8 a.m. and decided to save the show as a podcast. In those five years, we've added Douglas Karr to the show, moved to a different radio station, to now broadcasting out of our own podcast studio in downtown Indianapolis. Thank you to everyone who has listened in the last five years! On this special 5th anniversary episode, we are lucky to be joined by Dan Shure, Founder of Evolving SEO, and fellow podcaster - the host of Experts on the Wire. Dan and his wife Sarah run Evolving SEO together in Worcester, Massachusetts and he's also an associate at Moz. We had a great conversation with Dan about SEO which focused on how to find gaps in content, which he called "Opportunity Gaps." Plus, we discuss how branding/advertising and SEO can intersect and can you make improvements to your homepage's meta description? You bet you can! Listen to Dan talk about how Macy's fails at this but gives several examples of who has great meta descriptions! We also spend some time in the show discussing podcasting with Dan and talk about lessons we both have learned from doing our podcasts. Strangely enough, we also find out that the initials of both of our podcasts are "E-O-T-W." Weird... It was a fun conversation and we hope to have Dan on again in the near future!

Ronell works with a lot of big brands in his organization and we wanted to pick his brain about how he helps clients develop a content strategy and customer experience through the content. As he says in the podcast, marketers spend too much time focused on what content is and not what it does. Content is a noun - it is people, places, and things. Plus, we talk a little bit about his latest blog on Moz.com - how to do effective email outreach. This week on MarTech, Douglas Karr talks about an interesting infographic from Salesforce explaining about how to create a customer journey map. All these things and more, this week on the Edge!
