Description
In this week’s Quick Fire Friday episode, Michael interviews Harry Sanders, Founder and Director of Studio Hawk, a specialized agency dedicated to search engine optimization with a mission of reforming what people think about SEO. He is based in Melbourne, Australia. He has been in the SEO game for 10 years, growing to a team of well over 60 SEO specialists, winning multiple awards such as the Best Large SEO Agency in the 2023 APAC Awards, Best Large Global SEO Agency in the 2021 Global Search Awards, and the list goes on. SEO has dramatically changed in the past 10 years, back then it was about how many keywords you have on your page, shortcuts if you will, but now it is about building a solid foundation and understanding of a brand and its positioning with the help of moderate use of artificial intelligence. To catch up with the paradigm shift you can start learning at Hawk Academy, or kickstart your business’ digital presence with StudioHawk and their white hat SEO techniques that will undoubtedly reach your goals and maintain an average of 300% ROI. As a small-medium business owner, you must consider your expertise and authority carefully. Contemplating what makes you unique in the market, owning a niche that others don’t have. That’s the only way a small business could compete with the big ones. A prime example is Harry, who specializes in SEO and masterfully carves out that niche.
