B2B SAAS INSIGHTS
How Angi Uses Near Me SEO To Dominate the $506B Home Services Industry
‘Near Me’ searches are a useful SEO strategy that many local businesses neglect.
When these businesses tweak their websites to show up in ‘Near Me’ searches, it becomes easier for local customers to find them. This means more customers and more money for the business. One company that’s really good at this is Angi.
Angi (formerly Angie’s List) is a NASDAQ-listed company that is the single go-to place for home projects, big and small. Its site gets 5.3 million people visiting every month and ranks #1 for super-competitive keywords like “plumbers near me” and “electrician near me” in the United States. According to Ahrefs, Angi ranks for 47,000+ “near me” keywords.
We wrote an article explaining five ways Angi used this strategy as well as four other SEO strategies they used to dominate the SERPS. You should check it out.
B2B MARKETING
4 Ways Artificial Intelligence Will Shape B2B SaaS Marketing
AI is becoming a bigger part of our daily lives, both at work and in life.
You can see the proof everywhere. For example, ChatGPT, Jasper, and other AI tools now play a major role in many brands’ marketing strategies and execution.
Big companies like Box, HubSpot, and Salesforce are also using AI in their products to stay relevant and keep their market share. The AI market might be worth almost $2 trillion USD by 2030 if things keep going this way and we rely on AI even more.
So, what’s next for this industry? Should we worry about losing our jobs to AI? Is the talk about AI taking over jobs true? How can we get ready for the future?
To help you understand and prepare, I wrote an article explaining four ways AI will change marketing, with insights from experts, and how you can prepare.
