In this episode, I chat with Geraldine Maclear, an expert in SEO and copywriting, about how small businesses and startups can enhance their SEO efforts. Geraldine explains how her background in software engineering and volunteering led her to SEO, and why having a technical understanding of websites is crucial for making SEO effective. You’ll learn about common SEO misconceptions and why installing a plugin is just the beginning, not the end.
