This is the only slide you actually need to take a picture of so I'm happy to share my slides. 00:04 That's my email address. 00:09 I couldn't afford the .com it is a .co. 00:09 So or you can Google me or add me on LinkedIn happy to share the slides answer any questions. 00:14 B2B marketing is not at all like B2C marketing 00:23 B2B marketing where it's all about building a long-term relationship. 00:28 Digital marketing and especially SEO. 00:34
Is what brings the sales prospect to the table. 00:37 A sales person when they close the deal they may be thumping their chest and talking about their amazing sales prowess. 00:41 But all of us in this room. 00:47 We know. 00:49 Or if your digital marketer like me, 00:49 we know that were the ones that brought them to the table. 00:53 SEO is the romance that brings 00:56 the deal to a close. 01:00 And when you don't have that romance. 01:02
Things can get very awkward very awkward when you go in for the close. 01:05 Now I'm going to talk about a better way to do SEO for specifically for B2B. 01:11 But before we do that. 01:17 I wanted to spell some very common misconceptions around SEO and things that I have seen both. 01:18 When I worked internally at a company on SEO. 01:24 And as a consultant for companies. 01:28 Helping them to guide their SEO. 01:30 So first of all this is a very, 01:34 very common misconception. 01:36
Everyone always thinks that they can outsmart Google. 01:36 That Google when it comes to SEO is their enemy and we're just trying to get ahead and what happens is. 01:41 The algorithm because Google is the enemy goes and catches them. 01:48 An enemy catches them and now we need to do something better. 01:53 Well. 01:53 You can’t outsmart Google for those of us that live in the Bay Area. 01:57
