Happy 2017 Friends.
January is a fresh start. It is the time to set intentions, clean the clutter, vow to do things better. I love fresh starts.
So far–I have invested in part-time employee (YAY for Rachael!) and a bookkeeper. I am also determined to do less with more focus.

SEO is not going away
Search Engine Optimization is an evolving industry. But even some audio and video searches ultimately depend on keywords, just like the traditional text-based content does, so optimized websites and content is here to stay.
Be Known in Your Niche
Once you have committed to your brand and have stopped trying to be everything to everyone, then use SEO to be found for what you want to be known for. So that your raving fans can find you.
SEO is a Good Deal
When you compare the cost of Facebook ads, Pay Per Click Ads, Ad managers, buying leads and all of the other forms of online marketing–SEO provides legit ROI. Organic SEO is lasting and is good business.
Competition
There are approximately 3.5 billion google searches per day. Your ideal customers are searching and they can either find you or your competition.
Mobile Search
The amount of data delivered to mobile devices is expected to exceed the data delivered to desktops in mid 2017, with this in mind the mobile and local search is a huge new world. If your site is not optimized for mobile search, you will not be found.
