I\u2019m your host, Benjamin Shapiro, and today we\u2019ll be discussing, well, how to manage SEO through crisis. Joining us today is Jordan Koene who is an SEO strategist and an advisor for Searchmetrics. Okay. On with the show. Here\u2019s my conversation with Jordan Reinaldo, SEO strategist for Searchmetrics. Jordan. Dude.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hey Ben.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s a brand new world. What the hell is happening out there?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yeah, it\u2019s a scary place, especially here in the state of California where we\u2019re all locked into our home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All right everyone. Let\u2019s set the context here, Jordan and I were going to get together and we were going to talk about some SEO optimization stuff, but the world turned upside down last week. The coronavirus, as you I\u2019m sure have all heard, is wreaking havoc on people\u2019s lives, their families, obviously businesses, so we\u2019re not going to beat around the bush. We\u2019re going to talk a little bit about how to manage, first off adversity, and then talk about what we think the impact coronavirus is going to have on the search community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jordan, let\u2019s start off with managing through adversity. Give me the playbook here. Everybody, excuse my language. When the shit hits the fan like it is now and there are unforeseen circumstances \u2026 You know, there was 9\/11, we\u2019ve seen in other countries obviously drastic changes, political \u2026 Stuff happens. Maybe not to this extent around the world. How have we seen the search community be effective and be helpful? Talk to me about what you see when there\u2019s times of adversity when it comes to search.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yeah, I mean I think that as a search community, the SEO\u2019s, the operators of search coming together. I think these are times when, like any business, people come together to show empathy for one another in terms of what\u2019s going on and how their lives are changing, creating more flexible environments. But I think the big thing, especially for the search community and for SEOs in particular, as Ben cleans his hands with some hand sanitizer-<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>It\u2019s actually a hand lotion because I\u2019ve washed my hands so many times today, they hurt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Exactly. Welcome to the new world. Is that SEO is a channel that\u2019s typically leaned on in these kinds of times because of the nature of the business, right? It is a source of traffic that does not require a paid form of acquisition. It doesn\u2019t require a paid marketing dollar spent. And so there\u2019s a lot of heads being turned to SEO. I\u2019ve been talking to everything from startups to Fortune 100s all thinking, \u201cWell, we\u2019re in a time of crisis and we don\u2019t have the money we used to. What do we do?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So here\u2019s the thing that I don\u2019t understand is why don\u2019t people have the money they used to? This happened last week. Where did everyone\u2019s marketing budgets go? And obviously SEO is, when you have to be resourceful and drive organic growth, probably the first and most important channel you should be reaching on. Obviously more important than organic social these days. Why does this happen?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well, I think that one of the things, I\u2019m making some big assumptions here, right? So let\u2019s be all honest, every company is a little bit different. Every operating company has a little different style of handling these things. But when crisis faces a society and it becomes a local, national, global scale, people just go into real hibernation mode, right? Conservative thinking prevails in these scenarios. And that means that people are a little leery about how they want to spend their money, where they want to spend their money, when they want to spend the money. And it just becomes a very cautious type of environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And so the marketing dollars are still there. They\u2019re all sitting there. It\u2019s just, how quickly are we tapping into the well, I think is really what\u2019s going on right now. And that\u2019s just part of where we are right now. Everyone\u2019s in a very \u201cWait and see,\u201d type of atmosphere, attitude.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hey, on the bright side, we\u2019re not doing an events marketing podcast because that industry is obviously going to get just obliterated. I feel terrible for the event marketers out there. There has to be a therapy hotline for people that are staffing, working, and managing event marketing. It could be worse. You mentioned that SEO gets leaned on, so when the spotlight gets turned on you as an SEO and your CEO comes and says, or your COO comes down and says, we\u2019re going to pull back the reigns on our paid spend. Go be our biggest best channel and do it hot and fast. What do you do?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One second Ben, I\u2019ve got a child in the background trying to break into my room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So for the record, everybody, Jordan is recording this podcast in his bedroom and there is three beautiful, wonderful children and wife in the other room and there\u2019s going to be some background noise and this is just the way the world\u2019s going to be. Jordan, don\u2019t worry about it. Fire away. Harvey, Hugo, baby Jojo, bring it on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yeah, it\u2019s the new reality. Yeah, so there\u2019s a couple of ways that people come to SEOs to lean on them. The first one and the most obvious one and the least realistic one is, \u201cGet me more traffic. Get me more revenue. Get me more anything.\u201d Right? That\u2019s always the talk line, right? It\u2019s always how businesses try to push SEO and marketing channels as a whole.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But I think the more interesting thing in these times is that there is a more holistic view on SEO. What you really see in times of crisis is that you\u2019ve got the product folks who come in, you\u2019ve got the management team, the leadership teams who come in and they say, \u201cOkay, this is really a channel that we need to start paying attention to because it\u2019s going to be part of our survival.\u201d And it becomes that least common denominator, right? It\u2019s the reason why there is no more rice and pasta in every shelf of every grocery store because you know you can always rely on rice and pasta if you have nothing else to eat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SEO, the Italian food of marketing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Right. The risotto of the food world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All right, so potentially the SEOs listening to this podcast are going to have a little bit more resources, a little bit more attention. Pressure\u2019s going to be on to get quick results. How do you think that SEOs can make an impact in the short term, not knowing how long they\u2019re going to have more room to run?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Yeah, so there\u2019s a couple of things to be really thinking about when it\u2019s one of these times of crisis. First of all, what kind of resources do you have available to yourself? Right, so typically in these kinds of situations, whether you\u2019re an ecommerce shop or you\u2019re a news and media company, you\u2019re going to get a flood of resources. How do you prioritize and use them to the best of your advantage? How do you really focus on what it is that\u2019s going to give you the best bang for your buck in terms of development resources, analytics resources, content writing resources, and there\u2019s a slew of other things that you can take into consideration here. But the reality is that one of the often missteps that\u2019s taken by many SEOs in a time of crisis is prioritization. What do we use and what is first on the list? And so I think that that is one thing to really take heart of.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I mean if you\u2019re saying you\u2019re in the news and media category, right? This is a whole new world order. There are a lot of topics that are now brand new. Coronavirus, four or five months ago, was not a search term. And now there\u2019s a billion different search terms that are brand new in our world. And think about if this epidemic continues, this pandemic continues for three, six months, God forbid. You can realize how search is going to evolve, right? How people are going to be looking at remote type queries and how to do video-based type conferences and events to your event marketing suggestion or how we\u2019re going to handle-<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Podcast sponsorships, podcast sponsorships, podcast sponsorships, podcast sponsorships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Podcasts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Excuse me, sorry. What?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The good thing is that Ben and I are keeping a healthy six foot distance from one another.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019m six foot away from the screen. It looks like you haven\u2019t showered in days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s all part of being in this state shelter in place order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Working at home with three children, folks. He\u2019s still on the podcast. I hope you appreciate how much Jordan believes in this show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So to answer Ben\u2019s question, to go from prioritization to execution requires you to not just look at the same old world order of sell more products, get people to read my articles more, but actually think about what are people doing now? How are people performing search today? It has changed, radically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Let\u2019s talk a little bit about how Google adjusts in times of adversity and change and maybe think back around what happened after 9\/11 here in the United States. Some other political situations. When you see the world get a little topsy-turvy, what do we think about how Google manages it?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well, this is a phenomenal question. I\u2019m really glad that we\u2019re talking about this because I don\u2019t think SEOs out there are realizing what\u2019s going on in search today. We\u2019re actually in an unprecedented scenario where Google, in particular, has taken some extreme efforts to modify and secure the SERP. They are being very vigilant and direct about how they present information and content. Just do the search for coronavirus tips. Google created a custom graphic and a list in what you would essentially call an answer box to make people realize, these are the tips. This is what you should focus on if you\u2019re looking for the search term coronavirus tips.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So everybody, for the record, the tips are do the high five. Hands, wash them often. Elbows, cough into them. Face, don\u2019t touch it. Feet, stay more than three feet apart. Hey Jordan, we can get closer. Feel sick, stay home. So if you\u2019re not already doing that, everybody do that. Just wash your hands. Use common sense. Don\u2019t lick a door handle. Anyway, go on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But I mean, they took this content from the World Health Organization. They put it here in a very, very intrusive way, and they\u2019re doing this across hundreds of thousands of search queries to really inform the public. And they\u2019re doing it in a very intentional and direct way. And I appreciate Google doing it. This is not how Google operated in the past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Just think of our last election. They did not operate this way in the last presidential election and I think this is a cue into how they\u2019re going to handle the November presidential election that\u2019s coming up because they\u2019re going to be very deliberate about how they surface content and queue up content that is in search results to avoid potential misinformation. And I think that this is a really interesting time that we\u2019re living in the United States because this is not something that we\u2019ve faced in terms of search in the past. This has happened in other countries, but it\u2019s been dictated by the country themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One of the things that I appreciate most is that when you just search for coronavirus, I think it\u2019s actually before the first listing, so there\u2019s a bunch of stuff that Google is dynamically inserting into this page. It\u2019s obviously a special experience. But one of the above-the-fold things is, \u201cHow to wash your hands,\u201d which is not even a YouTube video. It\u2019s actually Google\u2019s own video, \u201cHow to wash your hands.\u201d If I haven\u2019t mentioned it yet folks, wash your hands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Right. Practice good hygiene.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jordan, when we think broadly about times of adversity, when we think about the SEO community, is there anything that we should do to band together to help each other out? What can we do? Obviously this is more important than just keyword optimization and metrics and the stuff we normally love to talk about. What can the SEO community do to help out?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So there\u2019s a couple of things here. I think that continuing to support fair practices within the web is something that we should all be really mindful of. I was really happy to see articles about Amazon, de-listing marketplace businesses that were trying to sell things like hand sanitizer and toilet paper for X multiples the normal retail value of that. And I think that that\u2019s really good practice by Amazon as a marketplace to say, \u201cHey, no, we\u2019re not going to allow that kind of behavior.\u201d And what happens is you get a lot of looters and individuals who try to take advantage of these kinds of scenarios. And it\u2019s a feed off of fear type of mentality. And as SEOs, we see a lot of these things. We use them as examples, we present them at conferences, but what we should really be doing is being proactive. And there\u2019s various ways for us to self-police and police these different situations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So that\u2019s one component. I think the other component is that we\u2019re living in a very new world order. SMX Munich was supposed to take place today and yesterday while we\u2019re recording here, the 18th and 19th of March. They went all online, right? And I know that that\u2019s had an impact on their business and on their audience. There\u2019s going to be other events and there\u2019s going to be other scenarios where we as a community would learn where we\u2019d engage with one another. And we\u2019re just going to have to take a different approach. We\u2019re going to have to pick up the phone. We\u2019re going to have to call one another. We\u2019re going to have to reach out to one another in different ways to educate, inform, and communicate about what is happening in search and how things are unfolding. And I think that\u2019s something that we just should be really thoughtful of and mindful of as this new world order takes place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s crazy days, and if I haven\u2019t mentioned yet, wash your hands. But you know, Jordan, I couldn\u2019t agree with you more. Things are going to change. There\u2019s going to be more of a shift for the short term and potentially for the long term towards people working remotely, towards people moving their marketing activities to digital. All of the event, all of the in-person sales, all that stuff\u2019s going to go away. At least for the short period of time. People are going to be out of the job. It\u2019s going to get worse potentially before it gets better. God, I hope that\u2019s not true. But you know, for the SEO community, I think that it is a close knit community. We\u2019ve seen that here with the podcast, people reaching out to us. I think more than anything, we wish you all luck.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Everybody stay safe. Don\u2019t be stupid, don\u2019t lick a doorknob. It\u2019s a crazy time. We\u2019re going to talk a little bit more about the actual coronavirus keywords and the actual coronavirus in our episode tomorrow, but for today everybody stay safe. Keep your head up, keep it human, even if it\u2019s on a Zoom conference or whatever you\u2019re using. Skype if you want to go old school. And that wraps up this episode of the Voices of Search podcast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thanks for listening to my conversation with Jordan Koene, SEO Strategist and Advisor to Searchmetrics.
