Each year, PPC Hero publishes a list of the top PPC influencers in the world. I’ve been fortunate to interview many of the PPC experts who appear on that list. My guest on this episode of Suds & Search is Michelle Morgan. When PPC Hero published their list for 2020, Michelle was #1. If you’ve seen one of her videos, heard her present or read a blog post she authored you know that that honor is well-deserved.
Akvile DeFazio is the remarkably impressive founder and president of Akvertise, a social media advertising agency in California. She’s been on PPC Hero’s list of the top PPC influencers for the past three years.
My guest today is Lily Ray, SEO Director at Path Interactive. Lily has been one of the most popular speakers in the industry for a while now. She’s been nominated for multiple industry awards, including Best Female Search Marketer by Search Engine Land.
Today’s guest is Mark Irvine. PPC Hero named Mark the #1 Most Influential PPC Expert of 2019. Microsoft Advertising named him the Influencer of the Year in 2019. I’m not sure if there’s a list of PPC experts he isn’t on.
My guest today is Casey Markee, owner of Media Wyse.
He is a staple at SEO conferences all over the world including SMX, Pubcon, State of Search, and Onward. He co-authored the book, UnFair Advantage: Winning the Search Engine Wars, which has been updated over 289 times as of this publication. It is the longest continuously updated SEO book on the Internet.
My guest today is Jill Quick, the brilliant and engaging Co-Founder of The Coloring in Department. Jill has a well-earned reputation as one of the top presenters on topics related to analytics. A short list of the conferences she’s presented at includes SMX London, SearchLove, Learn Inbound, and Hero Conf.
Navah Hopkins is my guest on this episode of Suds & Search. She is the Director of Paid Media at Hennessey Digital. She’s a regular on PPC Hero’s list of The Top 25 Most Influential Experts.
Her writing is really exceptional. After this video, check out her column at Search Engine Journal. She’s also a dynamic and in-demand speaker who presents all over the world.
My guest today is Duane Forester, V.P. of Industry Insights at Yext. Duane is a legend in the SEO community.
He’s among the top keynote speakers in the industry. Emphasis on keynote. He has presented the last day keynote at State of Search for as long as that conference has taken place. I first heard him present way back in 2011 at SMX West (as a keynoter) and I’ve remained a fan ever since. At that time, Duane was the Head of the Bing Webmaster Program.
My guest today is Darren Shaw. Darren is a Local SEO Rockstar. It’s hard to find a roundup post about Local SEO where he isn’t a contributor. He oversees the Local Search Ranking Factors survey, a must-read in local SEO. He speaks all over the world on topics related to local search.
My guest today is Joe Martinez, Director of Client Strategy at Clix Marketing. We met at SMX West where he gave a killer presentation on one his favorite topics, Youtube Ads.
