Work smarter, not harder…

@kevgibbo
It doesn’t… they focus on great content instead
@kevgibbo
This gets them short-‐term success…
@kevgibbo
It strengthens their online reputa6on…
@kevgibbo
And it builds them into an organic posi6on where they can seriously compete…
@kevgibbo
And not just on long-‐tail terms!
@kevgibbo
