Quotes

  • "By bringing the SEO team on right at the planning stage itself, the content marketer can get the SEO inputs before they start. That's a good place to be rather than retrofitting SEO at a later stage." - Ruchika Batra

  • "A content marketer would be an author or novelist if it doesn't have the SEO element attached. It's a partnership between SEO and content marketing. One cannot exist without the other." - Ruchika Batra

  • "SEO is not rocket science. It is a commonsensical way of putting any content out there in a way that makes it easy for someone to read. When we say helpful content, it is precisely that. You're making it easy on the eye." - Ruchika Batra
