That’s a wrap on season two!
That’s all for now! We can’t believe it, but we have already finished season two of our Real-life SEO podcast and whether you were listening at the office, on the commute to work or while you were just out for a walk, we’re happy to know you’ve been listening !
When we launched Real-life SEO in 2022, the original aim was to shed light on what different SEO specialists do in their day-to-day work. Over the course of both seasons, we had the chance to speak to a number of interesting industry professionals and as the second season progressed, we took the opportunity to deep dive into the specific specialization of international SEO.
