long-term
serendipity

If you've created a good mobile
experience, congratulations you've
solved a big problem...for 2009.
Most peoples' brand

digital and not walking
into their stores.

PETE MEYERS
Of 10,000 SERPs, only 15%
had 10 blue links, the
remaining 85% had some
form of rich information.
Google's job is not to build the
perfect, fair environment, their
job is to model the real world.
If you're doing RCS
without the RC,
know what you're
left with? Shit.

If you're putting your branded videos on
Youtube, you could be losing 99% of your
potential traffic/clicks/audience.
Measure engagement,
not views.

instead of 3 pieces of

Use IFTTT triggers to email you things
like new links to an infographic, new
questions asked by a competitor on
Quora, and journalist requests from
Twitter hashtags.
Want to know if you're doing
RCS? Search for your assets
with your brand name.
Don't hit enter when searching on
Google. You can learn a lot about what
people want by looking at those
suggestions.

Keyword-level data
is a thing of the
past. Get over it.
Any metric you're
isolating per keyword
is junk data. Going after
it is a fool's errand.
You have to know how to work pivot
tables in order to get any kind of insight.
It's one of the most critical skills you
have to know as a marketer.

Building a loyal audience is a
requirement, it's the new
standard.
Companies will not
succeed without
loyalty.
There should be a budget,
conversations, and quarterly
planning for brand loyalty
marketing.
