Reality of Enterprise SEO

SEO is nothing without implementation
● Recommendations without change equals lost value
● Happens too often in mid market and enterprise
● Sometimes even worse, changes are incorrect and can
crush performance
Errors, resources and platform limitations
● Always competing for IT time versus other “mission
critical” areas
● Homegrown and commercial platforms are often
missing key SEO functions
