Don't miss this week's throwback note at the end of the email.

View email in browser

Hello Olivian

Today's note is an idea I had for one of my clients last week. They're in a tough niche and their navigation is a rather bare, so I went through all of our competitors and we assembled a "best of" navigation. We essentially took note of each page their competitors had in their nav and are replicating it for the client! But how did we condense hours of work into less 3 minutes and select only the pages that will drive traffic? That's the note!

Work with Steve 🚀
Cool fact. I was chilling with my buddy last night and I was telling him about my clients. He made me realize that 40% of my clients are actually other SEOs. How cool is that?! I've worked with lots of SEOs throughout my first 3 years consulting. They're great clients because you don't have to explain the "why." Whether you're an SEO or not and you want to work with me, fill out this form 👉 work with Steve.
