At the same time, it’s hard to ignore the fact that some businesses, no matter how “white hat” their methods, can never seem to gain traction in the SERPs. If you’re having trouble getting the traffic you want, it might just be conspiracy fact.

Underlying that, is a need for writers—those who write the actual copy that is creative enough to be shared, over and over again. I’ve never before seen such a need for good writers in all four years of running my writing agency. It’s very common that SEO agencies and businesses (of all sizes) now employ more than one writer to fill all their content needs.

If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? To put it another way, if you post something on social media and (you think) no one is around to read it, does it still make an impact? A former PR executive in New York, the well-known operator of a popular online job bank in Cleveland and a host of politicians and celebrities will be the first to tell you that every piece of social media content makes a sound – and often a really loud one. That being the case, it seems odd that even the most experienced marketers sometimes fail to realize that everything, and I mean everything, we say or post to social networks has the potential to impact the public’s perception of our brand – be it personal or professional.
