I’ve got a new SEO project starting and as part of my standard set up i gather data from loads of different sources (including PPC) and create a groovy pivot table that highlights where opportunities and quick wins exist. When visiting Google Search Console to identify organic keywords that have been clicked in the past 90 days a colleague (Hi Kim!) asked why i was including impressions. I...
Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post. My 2 years are up and i’m now looking to upgrade my phone from the trusty old Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ to something shiny and new.

With the advent of Google’s move to HTTPS, obfuscated URLs, LSI, Hummingbird and synonym matching the ability to effectively identify the exact keywords responsible...
Back in January my Son Flynn Alexander was born. As with all new parents i was wholly unprepared for his arrival and the subsequent 9 months of him dominating our lives. To document his development and hopefully provide insights for other soon-to be or existing parents i’ve started putting together a new website called A Lad and His Dad where you can all poke fun at our bumbling.

In an effort to stay out of the black, move away from the grey and stick to white hat SEO, I’ve put together a list of ‘official’ Google SEO ranking factors for 2016.
