Hanging out at #ASIChicago post insightful, energizing, and actionable talk from @cliffquicksell

[Everest Guerra 🪡 @GoStitchi]

Thanks for the insightful talk, @realbillpetrie! Loved learning about "the best way to sell, not selling." Excited to double down on creating products people genuinely want to buy and getting to the “wow” moment as quickly as possible.

Michigan now ranks 39th in income per capita

Once a hub for automotive manufacturing, it's struggling to transition its workforce to knowledge-based jobs

However, many are working to change this by educating SMBs on the power of AI

But none of that will stop us! We’ve learned valuable lessons and are ready to implement new tactics with a revised goal of reaching 10,000 organic clicks by November and a 0.1% conversion rate. Stay tuned for updates, and if you love talking about SEO, say hi!

We spent the last nine months and $$$$ executing a SEO strategy, and it failed.

If you are investing in SEO, hopefully there is a lesson or two for you in here:
