I'm chatting chat with Stephanie Long, AKA "Mrs. SEO," about her groundbreaking new venture, Junction Jack, a vetted SEO marketplace. 

Stephanie shares her journey of creating a trusted space for businesses to connect with top-notch SEO experts. 

From addressing the frustrations of businesses burned by unqualified "experts" to her emotional story behind the name Junction Jack, this episode is packed with insights, advice, and inspiration. 

If you're curious about the future of SEO, voice search, and how empathy-driven practices can reshape the digital landscape, tune in!

Key Takeaways:

1. The Problem with Existing SEO Options:
   • Many SEO "experts" on platforms like Fiverr and Upwork lack the vetting needed for consistent, quality results.
   • Stephanie’s marketplace ensures only experienced, honest, and reliable professionals make the cut.
2. Voice Search is the Future:
   • With AI and machine learning on the rise, optimizing for voice search (and natural language processing) is more critical than ever.
   • Businesses should adapt content to match conversational, voice-driven queries.
3. Community is Key:
   • Building Junction Jack took resilience, networking, and leaning on supportive groups—proving that no entrepreneur succeeds alone.
4. Trust the Process:
   • The road to building something worthwhile is never easy, but authenticity and persistence pay off.

Memorable Quotes:
