It\u2019s not too late to pivot your strategy. Wil demanded that we do better. That we fight the algorithms and create authentic content that people give a crap about.

Then, hopefully, Google and conversational search platforms reward it with more visibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seoweek.org\/dawn-anderson\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dawn Anderson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> talked about how you can\u2019t blame SEOs for a broken internet anymore. Information retrieval has transformed SEO, but SEOs are still battling the underlying negative connotations of search optimization as a sleazy industry.
