Here’s what Sophie says…
“It’s my experience that search (Google/Bing) data should be used by teams way beyond the search department of any client or agency. A mountain of anonymised customer data, based on the millions of online searches happening around the world at any one moment in time; it provides deep insight into knowing what customers are looking for, in real time.
“AnswerThePublic uses this data (which search marketers have been making use of for years) and this book focuses on the full potential of that data. Full disclaimer — it’s not a ‘how to do SEO book’. But my hope is that it gives you an insight into the wealth of data that search marketers often hold the keys to and prompts you to think about how you can use it — no matter your role within marketing.”
