I've spent 17 years watching SEO change. The tactics shift every year, but the fundamentals stay the same: help people find what they're looking for, and make sure your business shows up when they do.
These articles cover everything from beginner-friendly guides to deep strategy breakdowns. I write about what works right now, not what worked three years ago. Every piece comes from real experience with real businesses, not theory from a marketing textbook.
