I Hate SEO and You Should Too (Part 2)

To out-rank Yelp or Thumbtack is just not in your budget. That doesn’t mean you don’t try and at least slowly invest! But there is a better way to approach it to help you get business and brand awareness quicker.

I Hate SEO and You Should Too (Part 1)

I hate SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and you should too. It’s a stupid concept that was first built off of (almost) cheating the system by creatively thinking of as many keywords as possible.

But I can confidently say that if you are on a lower budget and cannot afford a good website, then why not use Facebook?
