The ever evolving adventure of SEO

28 Nov 2019 The ever evolving adventure of SEO

Hashtag Have you optimized your website for search engines like Google? How about now? How about now?

I’m being a bit tongue-in-cheek, of course. But a lot of organizations think that SEO is something you do when you first build a website — and then you’re good to go! The reality is that SEO properly done is an ongoing practice that needs updating to remain effective.

If it isn’t already, an SEO audit should be part of your 2020 plans. Why?

As Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, “You could not step twice into the same river.” The Internet is like a giant digital river. It’s always changing and evolving. Devices change. Platforms change. Ideas change. And trends change.

All of which means that search terms and ranking factors change too. The optimization you did yesterday can become out of date and irrelevant.

And given how important being on the receiving end of the Google love is for visibility, it pays to stay on top of your SEO.

Does that sound like a lot to keep track of? Don’t worry, the folks over at Zazzle Media have put together a super cool infographic outlining the State of SEO in 2019:

The Communicatto team delivers and then some.
Mike Regimbal - National Director, Operation Lifesaver

Communicatto is the best thing since sliced bread. My next cat’s name will either be Doug or Kelly. Seriously though, you guys do so much for OL. You have taken our not-for-profit to the next level and it was a joy to work with you. I feel like you have our best interest at heart. What an amazing team you have!
Maryse Betournay - Senior Administrative Assistant, Operation Lifesaver

I would not hesitate to recommend Communicatto’s services, as Doug and his team are fabulous. We have used them to orchestrate social media seminars for our global communications team in addition to helping build out our social media platforms here at the corporate office.

Communicatto did a great job at scaling their services to suit our needs, we had limited social media savvy, but bringing everyone up to speed was a great help. Our social media branding increased markedly and we have been able to maintain this level thanks to Communicatto.

Communicatto helped us address an immediate need for persona-based content to kick start a new demand generation program. Our writing team was knowledgeable, professional, easy to work with and provided quality copy that we were able to use right away. I’m looking forward to working with them again!

Communicatto took the time to learn all about us by actively listening, defining our strengths and weaknesses, and then developing a tailored strategy we can understand and act on in order to effectively communicate with our key stakeholders. The digital world is overwhelming but Communicatto is helping us navigate it with confidence.

Having a Twitter or Instagram account doesn’t qualify you as a digital marketer. What I like about the team at Communicatto, is that they understand the importance of the marketing plan and are as well versed in traditional marketing methods as they are in digital channels. They bring the power of an integrated marketing mix to the table and as technologies move at warp speed, they add value by staying on top of the new tools on the horizon.
