Most marketing teams think they know their competition—but the truth is, they’re usually guessing. And that guesswork is costing them growth... using a smart tool like Sparktoro is the key. www.bartoliconsulting.com/join-the-wai...
I was on Linkedin for 5 min and got hit with a barrage of "SEO is dead" and "It's all about GEO now" OMG - so many have lots to learn - yes it is ongoing and long-term has been for the 21 years I've been involved in search.
SEO is long-term and ongoing, and that causes risks of losing strategic approach and guidance along the way. Integrate strategic review into your SEO efforts.

1/3 When pressure mounts, CMOs often default to: “Let’s bring in an agency.”
Agencies do add speed + expertise. But here’s the truth—if your in-house team lacks alignment + strategy, no outside partner can fix that.

This is where most teams go wrong: Treating competitor research as a reactive task. They see a campaign or ad and scramble to copy it. That’s NOT strategy—that’s playing catch-up

Why your CEO doesn't understand your marketing metrics (and how to fix it):
Your CEO thinks about revenue, P&L, EBITDA. Your CFO thinks the same way.
What they DON'T get? How marketing actually drives those numbers.
Most still think marketing = "brand awareness" or expensive trade show booths

1/3 My biggest mistake as an in-house marketer: Spending Christmas week building a perfect 12-month strategy.
Reality check: Google algorithm updates, surprise product launches, and market shifts made my October plans irrelevant by February.
Lesson: Plan quarters, not years. 🧵

5 responsibilities no one warns marketing heads about:
Your team aren't data scientists
Digital strategy is mandatory now
Your website is your top employee
Constant skill updates needed
One person can't do everything

Why most in-house marketers feel like they're drowning 🌊 Your new digital marketer isn't just doing "digital marketing" - they're juggling SEO, social, email, analytics, content, paid ads, AND strategy. Often alone. Then companies wonder why they burn out in 18 months. The missing piece:

1/2 How to structure your Q4 digital plan in 3 steps
1. Start now, don't wait until Oct 1
2. Review your annual business goals and objectives - those KPIs you discussed and agree on with your team back in January. Which are still relevant, need further support? Which changed and should be removed?

Google Search can now call local businesses using AI to gather pricing and availability info on your behalf. Here's how it works. via @mattgsouthern.bsky.social

So this... it's the SEO thinking hey let me fill a sub reddit full of keywords. Here's how you use that Reddit intel - listen to what your audience is talking about - use that as part of your topic first strategy in your site, in the socials, etc. #seodoneright #in-housedigitalmarketing
"Posting on Reddit" is not an SEO strategy. It is SEOs chasing the bus down the road and shouting through the window to be part of the conversation.

Topic first does drive long term results - I also agree that too many make this way harder than it needs to be.

We start with real audience analysis, not keywords. Then build a 90-day plan tied to KPIs.
