The fast-changing SEO landscape - with its increasingly sophisticated search algorithms, risks of penalties, growth of mobile and inventive new ways to search - has created an incredible opportunity for enterprises to improving the overall “search experience” that they deliver through this highly profitable marketing channel.

But in spite of this incredible opportunity, the industry lacks the in-depth research and best practices that marketers need to build a holistic SEO strategy. Enterprises are left wondering who to listen to, what data to trust and how relevant any of it is to their own situation.

In an effort to help marketers understand how they can best align their organizations around this concept of “Search Experience Optimization”, seoClarity announces the creation of a brand new role within the organization - Chief SEO Evangelist - and the appointment of Keith Goode to the position.

Goode brings with him broad experience working within global enterprises - through his previous roles at Dell & HomeAway - as well as expertise in technical SEO and training global teams. He most recently served as Global Online SEO Technology Lead for Dell, Inc. There he drove the technical roadmap for Dell’s global web properties and led core teams in a range of SEO best practices and projects.
