FROM THE KNOWLEDGE HUB

Short definitions, if you want the basics first.

ALL ENTRIES

Twenty-five definitions across five categories.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions about the blog.

Anything not covered here, ask us directly and you will get a straight answer.

When there is something worth saying. We would rather publish six articles a year that are genuinely useful than forty written to hit a quota, and search rewards that choice more than it used to.

The same senior team doing client work. Everything comes out of live engagements rather than being commissioned from a content mill.

Yes. If you have a search question you cannot find a straight answer to anywhere, send it over and we will either answer it directly or write it up.

No. We do not publish guest content or sell links, and that is unlikely to change.

The hub holds short definitions of terms. The blog holds longer articles and time-sensitive material about what is changing in search.

Please do, with a link back. We would rather be cited than copied, for the same reason we advise clients not to duplicate content.
