Classic SEO Tactics Failing
- Classic SEO for SEO's sake no longer works as tactics become saturated and lose impact.
- Genuine content marketing succeeds by having a unique voice and owning a narrative beyond mere tactics.
Avoid Overstretching Marketing Channels
- Small marketing teams should avoid spreading thin by trying to be on too many platforms.
- Focus on fewer channels and deliver higher quality content where your audience is most engaged.

- Naming the customer's problem creates connection and trust, forming content IP that resonates deeply.
- Well-named problems cut through noise by giving customers the words to describe their pain points.
