Most often, business owners leave their marketing strategies on autopilot, doing the same things repeatedly and expecting some traffic boom. While you could use the same ad multiple times, SEO will not.
SEO changes in real-time, month after month and year after year. So to start getting those delicious juice from search engines like Google and Bing, you must first understand why your SEO strategies aren’t yielding results.
In that case, here are five reasons why your SEO strategies aren’t working:

Who are they, what do they do, and where do they hang out? You can dig deeper by uncovering their pain points, passion, dreams, and income. Detailed info about your target audience will help you run a targeted campaign that drives results.
