Episode 370: Understanding Human Experience Optimization as the New SEO with Amara Omoregie

Episode

Does the internet feel broken to you, or confusing even? How do we, as digital marketers, adjust to ‘modern SEO’ to get our clients noticed in a world where backlinks and directories just aren’t cutting it anymore? 

Amara Omoregie has the solution for us, and in a way, it’s already here under our noses.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) needs to become Human Experience Optimization (HEO) if we are to provide people with a viable alternative to asking their closed Facebook groups (dark social) for advice on a good plumber. 

The way that we do that, according to Amara, is by properly understanding Google’s knowledge graph as well as ‘schema’ and structured data. And while your traffic might drop a bit, the quality of intentional searching for your brand will be better in the long run. 

Learn about natural link attraction and Rank Math as the perfect plugin to help you understand your SEO better in a conversation that will leave you super informed on where SEO is going. 

It’s time to clean up the internet and for us all to feel far less out to sea in this sea of confusing search results that load far too slowly anyway to properly process! Amara is here to show us how.

Her company focuses on aligning sales, marketing, and customer experience for maximum impact and growth efficiency.
