SEOs are great at optimising sites for search engines, but they don’t always know what’s great for users. With an ever increasing focus from search engines on the abstract concept of ‘quality’ sites in competitive markets need every advantage they can get to rank higher. User testing is a vital component of a meaningful UX review, and user feedback can be essential in sussing out where, what, and why a site ‘feels’ bad. It’s how you take audits beyond just checking off technical best practices. Hobbits aren’t super powerful or especially wise, but sometimes you need them in your fellowship to get the job done.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it.
