How Startups Should Think About SEO from Shopify's Former Director: In this week’s episode of The Breakout Growth Podcast Sean Ellis and Ethan Garr chat with Kevin Indig, who at the time of the interview was the Director of SEO at Shopify. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can be an important growth driver for startups, but it is an easy channel to misunderstand and get wrong. We wanted to talk to someone who is best-in-class in this field to separate truth from fiction and find out how growth leaders can support, leverage, and embrace SEO in their businesses. Fortunately, Kevin brought his “A” game to the conversation and did a great job of demystifying SEO for our listeners. He explains why SEO is a must-have for some companies, but just a nice-to-have for others. Then he describes why, when SEO is a necessary channel for growth, companies should invest early and heavily to maximize their potential. In the past, SEO could feel very “hacky” and there were definitely a lot of ba by The Breakout Growth Podcast
