Voices of Search // A Search Engine Optimization (SEO) & Content Marketing Podcast

Kyle Roof, Founder of PageOptimizer Pro, talks about the value of an SEO agency. When Google gets to a website, it can’t determine legitimacy just by looking at it. Instead, Google has to find different signals within the site to understand what it is about so that it can drive relevant traffic to the website.
