477 | Product-Led SEO with Eli Schwartz

Eli Schwartz has helped in honing a much better perspective of understanding where SEO really needs to reside: Product-Led SEO. On this podcast we cover his career, his struggles in the early days of SEO as well as his new book, "Product-Led SEO: The Why Behind Building Your Organic Growth Strategy". It's a great take on how SEO is really about the customer needs, not the rank you receive. Dive into the first of two interview segments with us as we unpack a philosophical change in SEO.
