Well, sometimes there is serious power in going negative! When it comes to P.P.C. for SaaS, going negative can save you buckets of money on irrelevant clicks, poor-quality leads, and a lot of downright fraud. While it's definitely a topic that's up for debate, I believe you should probably have a paid campaign, of some sort, that targets your own brand terms. However, if you are going to be targeting your competitors' brand terms with a campaign, it's essential that you have a robust brand campaign for your own brand terms. | | | LinkedIn, News By Kristi Hines Personalized writing suggestions powered by A.I. will help LinkedIn users craft better headlines and about-section summaries based on their experience. The A.I. will analyze the information you have provided about your employment experiences and skills, determine what information is most impressive, and summarize that information for your headline and about-section summary. It will use the tone of voice presented on the rest of your LinkedIn profile to ensure that A.I.-generated headlines and summaries are personalized. This can help LinkedIn users make a better first impression in search results since your name and headline are shown when your profile matches another user's keyword search. | | | | | Sponsored By MarketMuse Get the low-down on ChatGPT with this quick guide. | | | | SEJ Show, Technical SEO By Loren Baker Google's very own Martin Splitt joined me on this very special episode of the SEJ Show to share his thoughts and opinions on various technical SEO topics, such as Semantic HTML, Google Search Console, indexing, and client-side rendering.
