It’s easy to find writers; they’re everywhere — from a one-second Google search to asking on LinkedIn.

But hiring the best ones? That’s the daunting task marketers and business owners face. And you do not just need writers, you need exceptional SEO content writers.

Mainly because that’s what Google (aka the largest traffic driver of most sites) has clearly been clamoring for since their Panda update in 2011, RankBrain in 2015, and their “Fred” update (and by the way, Gary Illyes from Google coined “Fred’ for every unnamed Google update) in March, 2017.

It’s obvious how each of these major updates communicates Google’s preference for excellent SEO writers:

If you’re a frequent Moz reader, you probably know how they work — but if not: Panda penalizes every webpage with content that adds little to no value to people online, giving more visibility to content pieces that do. On its own, the RankBrain update has made Google almost as smart as humans — when choosing the most relevant and high-quality content to rank on page #1 of search engine result pages (SERPs).

The “Fred” update further tackled sites with low-quality content that aren’t doing anything beyond providing information that’s already available on the internet. It also penal… Read More

How to Build a Business and Raise a Family as a Young Woman

How do female entrepreneurs make it? How do they succeed? And more importantly, how do they successfully build a family and a business at the same time?

It comes down to four major components: time management, passion, a vision, and some AWESOME team members.

But to understand how I got to where I am now, I need to take you back to the beginning.

Background

I was originally a nine-to-five downtown commuter. I worked at a litigation firm which required a 6 a.m. wake-up, a 25-minute drive to the subway station, a 45-minute subway ride, a one-hour lunch break (on most days) and a hell of a trek home that stretched well beyond Toronto rush hour.
