The reason why you are even watching this video is because we figured it out, back in 2016. We figured out how to rank for Google- but it wouldn’t last. We soon discovered how ranking for the algorithm is, like with many things in the business world, a question of money- a question that makes Google ever more powerful and that has spun obscure markets for shady SEO tactics. We learned first how much Google can take away. We discovered that Google’s plans just don’t align with what companies want. #slidebean #startups #seo #google Subscribe to our FREE weekly startup newsletter ► https://slidebean.com/newsletter?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=google-seo Follow us Twitter: http://twitter.com/slidebean LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/company/slidebean Instagram: http://instagram.com/slidebean Facebook: http://facebook.com/slidebean Caya Twitter: http://twitter.com/cayahere LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caya/ Turn on notifications for the podcast…
