SEO is continuously evolving and becoming
more complex
#SEOSUCCESS BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #WTSFEST
It’s true that we have
now tools to help us
automate the SEO
process although
SEO is too complex
to entirely do it

#SEOSUCCESS BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #WTSFEST
… we also now have tools to proactively monitor to identify
SEO f*ck ups…

The
evolution of
Websites Tech

Growing
competition and
barriers to entry
…requiring more maturity to compete in a complex landscape

and achieve results
You need
to be able to
influence change
and align
multidisciplinar
y efforts
You need to
be agile to
identify always
changing
opportunities

It’s possible to minimize these challenges by also evolving our
SEO to be more competitive w/ 3 core characteristics
Be fast and agile

On one hand, our recommendations impact and need the
alignment and support of many other areas for execution…
#SEOSUCCESS BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #WTSFEST
…on the other,
SEO needs
resources approval
from decision
makers who don’t
understand
technicalities but
about revenue
#SEOSUCCESS BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #WTSFEST
Use Robert Cialdiani’s 7th principle of
influence, “unity” to gain support across
areas and by decision makers
….
#SEOSUCCESS BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #WTSFEST
Cialdiani’s is a highly respected psychologist and best selling
author, that established 6 initial principles for persuasion

#SEOSUCCESS BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #WTSFEST

… he then added a
7th principle: Unity,
which is sense of
belonging. Use it to
influence change &
gain support, via the
most important
aspect we all share
and look to: goals

Whenever asking for resources or support use the
unified goals to talk about what they actually care about
WITH DECISION MAKERS WITH OTHER AREAS [EG. CONTENT]
#SEOSUCCESS BY @ALEYDA FROM #ORAINTI AT #WTSFEST
Also remember to
not only ask for
support and
resources, but also
share with them
your “unified”
results making all

In your communications use the “Genchi

allowing others to “see for themselves”

happening at the site

takes place”
