The big debate now is – where do we focus on – social or SEO? Is SEO outdated? Is social worth the ROI?
The truth is…you need both. But you need a balance of the two to really succeed. In fact, one supports the other. And I’m going to walk you through how to do that.
So here’s our master list of social media and blogging tools.
So now you’re saying, Christine what does that even mean. You have got to be kidding me with that list.
Let’s look at that list again. Outlined in orange is what I want all of you to focus on. That doesn’t mean there are not opportunities for both SEO and social engagement in other networks, but for now we’re going to focus on these. Keep in mind for now I’m not going to talk about paid advertising. That is certainly a league of its own, but your paid ads in Google don’t affect your Google organic listings, so for now we’ll keep them separate.
