Is your e-commerce site struggling to land top Google positions? Your content may be the culprit. Many B2B and B2C e-commerce sites fall prey to old-school SEO writing myths that hurt conversions and don’t help with Google rankings. Plus, there are often simple, low-hanging fruit opportunities that can drive qualified traffic at all phases of the buying cycle. In this fast-paced, fun webinar, Heather Lloyd-Martin, widely considered the pioneer of SEO writing, shares what she’s learned after 20 years of working with e-commerce clients. She discusses what e-commerce writers should do every time—and what writers should avoid.

It’s the dream of every in-house agency—to have a seat at the table. Whether it’s being pulled in earlier by our client partners or having a chance to influence senior leaders in making decisions that affect our future, we all aspire to play a more strategic role within our organizations. In early 2019, the in-house agency at Orvis decided to create an internal board of directors to stay close to company strategy and remain top-of-mind with leadership. Comprised of executives and an external advisor, this newly formed board is working to future-proof the agency at Orvis.

What is the one thing every in-house agency needs to do to achieve operational excellence? It’s a trick question. That’s because every team is unique and at a different point in its maturity, so each one has a different set of levers to pull in order to get there. Don’t fret, however—evolving successful operations doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
