Emphasizing the need for expert-level content that's as genuine as grandma's advice, Mark advocates for aligning SEO strategies with broader business goals. He champions brand strength and reputation, recommending tools like 'Also Asked' to help marketers navigate this ever-changing landscape. So get ready—SEO is now about making your brand shine brighter than a disco ball!
