In this episode, Meredith's husband explains why there was no show last week and how the very first COVID-era videos he created accidentally led to a 4,000-visitor-per-month blog. He unpacks how “document, don’t create” reshaped his business, why giving away his secret sauce made him happier, and how the new one-week SEMrush Challenge can help website owners dramatically improve their technical SEO scores.
