Getting there bit by bit, especially with the post-pandemic landscape, the agency is losing its soul. It’s all about influencers and chasing paid media.

I’m not.

Yes. Specifically I am tired about how SEO agencies play defensive as a default, where any client request is a "Yes and" addition (often for free) so companies get caught in a perpetual cycle of scope creep which leads most of them to default back to doing little beyond baseline tactics. Updating Metas, suggesting new content, building links, looking at page speed. It gets repetitive, but with so much time devoted to unplanned, unstaffed tasks, there is no time to do the experimental stuff and think of what pushes us further (if your company even considers this worth investing in in the first place)

I worked in house prior to this agency so I can't say it's much better. I think it's an industry problem more than anything. We're really unsure of what we want to be, or selling our value beyond saying "we wrote you 5000000000 pages of fresh content"

Change agencies if you’re bored. Find one that sells innovation, the avant-garde, etc.

Thoughts on making the transition from paid to organic? I'm currently learning technical SEO on the side now and refining my blog writing skills for a friend but wanted opinions of others already in the field. Main reason of trying to transition is looking for slower pace of things

The creative team is cutting back my content. I’ve explained to them that this will hurt their SEO, but they don’t seem to care. I'm sure they’ll freak out when they see the lack of organic growth.
