If COVID-19 has put your marketing in a bit of a holding pattern, it’s time to get to work. And this week, that work comes in the form of Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

If your marketing is in a COVID-19-induced holding pattern, now is the ideal time to do a little housecleaning. And we don’t mean your floors. (Although, if your floors are anything like mine, you should get to those soon.)
