🤖 HOW TO THINK ABOUT SEO IN 2024

Remember when SEO was like this mystical, super technical skill that only experts could master? Companies would go all out hiring SEO gurus and agencies that promised to get their websites ranking at the top of Google searches. Those were the days!

Well, times have seriously changed. Traditional SEO tactics just don't work as well anymore. There are a few big reasons why:

- There's just so much content out there now, making it way harder to stand out in Google's results.

- People don't just rely on Google to find info - they use social media, apps, smart devices, and other sources too.

- And get this - new AI technology could completely shake up how we search for and consume content online in the next few years.

So where does that leave businesses trying to drive website traffic? This article lays out some solid tips.
