The Simple and Smart SEO Show

Busting Outdated SEO Myths in 2024 with Crystal Waddell


Listen Later

In this solo episode of the Simple and Smart SEO show podcast, I'm debunking several common myths about SEO. 

I'm talking about: 

  • Why SEO isn't a quick-fix for sales, 
  • Why SEO can't sell a bad product, 
  • How SEO extends beyond just website optimization, 
  • Why SEO requires ongoing effort, 
  • When SEO should be integrated with other marketing strategies, and more. 


Additionally, I pose that SEO is dynamic, not guaranteed to keep you on top forever, can fit various budgets, and isn't solely a technical endeavor.

You know I love a good user-focused approach to SEO  rather than just focusing on ranking higher or beating competitors.

I hope you enjoy this episode!
