63 | How to Use SEO to Reach Your Reader w/Jana Carlson
Q: What would you say for our dabblers out there who just want to do the bare minimum of SEO that they can do to just be effective?
The lowest level of SEO engagement is really just knowing your reader and conducting research to understand their needs and the language they use. A practical step is to Google a topic and refer to the 'people also ask' section to gauge what questions readers have.
