Be honest: how many times have you worked on a content piece that you thought was great, sunk hours into it, only to get zero engagement on it? 

Tim Soulo, CMO at Ahrefs and our next guest is convinced that it's because you're not saying anything new. He learned that after asking Rand Fishkin, co-founder and CEO of SparkToro for a tweet to share his work.

Rand's feedback was incredibly insightful and ended up being more than just a fail story!

We cover all this plus:

- How a SaaS company with limited resources should approach SEO
- The framework to select and create content around business potential 
- The three variables required to gain links to your content
