Another wonderful, educational, and down-right sensational podcast episode is upon us! Steve Wiideman joins Kamaar and Michelle to discuss search engine optimization once again! Last time SEO Steve graced us with his presence, we felt there was still too much to say. Welcome him back as we discuss how to balance geo-targeting with practice areas, how to avoid keyword cannibalization between similar pages targeting different geographies, and how to use words in URLs and web copy that users search versus internal language healthcare professionals use. Enjoy the episode!
