It's BONUS day in the Summer of SEO. (for those that signed up before it kicked off anyway - don't worry you can still get in) Talk about saving the best 'til last as they say. SEO insights that break the mould, that don't fit in the traditional pillars we create for ourselves in SEO. Advice that goes beyond best practice, that gives you a genuine edge over your competition. This could be my favourite day. Insights from: Grace Frohlich, Piotr (Peter) Olesson, Sarah Chaya Presch, Lana Phillips, Roxana Stingu, Mikael Araújo, Liv Day, Lauren Irwin, Sophie Brannon, Jasmine-Jade O., Rosemary Osuoha, Briony Cullin, Crystal Ortiz, Stephanie Long, Geoff Kennedy, Anna Moragli, Amy Leach, Himani Kankaria, Dani Leitner, JP Garbaccio Sponsored by one of my new favourite tools: Content Raptor Want in?

You might think the Black Friday deals are all over at Close of Business (COB) today, but most won’t be. First we have Cyber Monday (2nd December), so almost all deals will extend until then. You might even see some extra specials come up over the weekend, especially in IT, Software or hardware ecommerce sites. Then miraculously next Tuesday most Black Friday sales will be extended until at least COB Friday the 6th December (but some will go until Monday the 9th December. Hopefully then you will get a weeks break and then the Christmas/End of Year deals will start. As I mentioned last week, Christmas and the end of the year is a great time to re-engage with your contact/database. You can just wish them well for the Christmas/New Year period, tell them when you or your shopfront will not be open and when you will be back on deck for 2026. If you need ideas or any help – just leave a comment or DM me. #BlackFriday #ChristmasMarketing #Davidletizia
