An engineer's perspective on SEO with Abishek Rajendra

Season 1 · Episode 11

mardi 7 janvier 2025 • Duration 40:54

Will Critchlow interviews Abishek Rajendra - VP Organic Growth at Course Hero.

I'm joined today by Abishek Rajendra who came to SEO from an engineering background, and so brings a rare perspective not only on the technical aspects of SEO itself, but also on the mindset of engineers, and the work that we are often asking them to do. He has deep experience with SEO testing, as well as with the more leadership-oriented elements of integrating effective organic growth into your digital marketing plan.

This episode is produced by Mark Cotton and hosted by Will Critchlow - you can follow Will on Twitter: @willcritchlow.

From evading Matt Cutts to being effective in the corporate world with Todd "Oilman" Friesen

Season 1 · Episode 10

jeudi 12 décembre 2024 • Duration 47:52

Will Critchlow interviews Todd "Oilman" Friesen - ex-Salesforce and Vimeo SEO expert.

I’m joined today by Todd Friesen who OG SEOs will know as Oilman. He was already a huge name in the nascent industry when I got started “some time ago” and we first met at an SMX West conference in 2006 or 2007. The reason I’m particularly excited to talk to Todd is because he’s the best example I know of someone who started his career in the churn and burn world of darker-hat SEO, and then made a journey via agency life and director-level in-house roles to one of those relatively-rare VP of SEO positions.
