Our name and our game is digital marketing. But even for us, it’s taken months of hard work from our on staff SEO expert, Amanda Powell, for DigitalMarketer to rank for the keyword “digital marketing.”

How are we able to rank for a keyword that is searched over 40,000 times a month? In this episode, Amanda lifts the hood on the DigitalMarketer SEO strategy and tells us what the DM staff meeting was like when we strategized how to snag the ultimate keyword for DM and increase our organic search traffic.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

• Behind-the-scenes of DigitalMarketer’s SEO team
• The tool to use to see the relevant keywords your competitors are ranking—SEMRush’s Domain Analytics
