Dealing with SEO within your company / internally
“My company/manager/CEO doesn’t understand SEO, my engineers have no idea on how to implement X, I don’t get the buy-in that I need.” Just some of the comments that I hear in real life and see pass by on Twitter. That’s why in late 2017 I asked this question on Twitter. So that’s why I […]
What is SEO Experimentation?
If you’ve been reading some of my blog posts in the past you’ll have noticed that I worked a lot on analytics, experimentation, and SEO. Having been able to combine these areas together has led to the point that for both Postmates and The Next Web previously, we worked on setting up a framework for […]
Finding & Dealing with Related Keywords
How do you go from 1 keyword and find another 10.000 that might also be relevant to your business/site. One of the things that I’ve been thinking about and worked on for some sites recently. It’s fun as with smaller sites it makes it easy to get more insights into what an estimated size can […]
Using Keyword Rankings In SEO
A few weeks ago I gave a talk at an SEO Meetup in San Francisco. It was a great opportunity to get some more feedback on a product/tool that I’m working on (and that we are already using at Postmates). You’ll hear more on this in the upcoming months (hopefully). In a previous blog post […]

Measuring SEO Progress: From Start to Finish – Part 1: Receiving Traffic
How to measure (and over time forecast) the impact of features that you’re building for SEO and how to measure this from start to finish. A topic that I’ve been thinking about a lot for the last few months is. It’s hard, as most of the actual work that we do can’t be measured easily […]
What tools am I using for SEO?
A while back somebody posted the SEO platforms/vendors/tools that he was using at his agency job (as an SEO). Me missing some great tools in there decided to respond but it also got me thinking about my own toolset and decided to dedicate a blog post to it, to get better recommendations and learn from […]
From 99% ‘duplicate content’ to 15 editors and back to ‘duplicate content’
Duplicate content is (according to questions from new SEOs and people in online marketing) still one of the biggest issues in Search Engine Optimization. I’ve got news for you, it for sure isn’t as there are plenty of other issues. But somehow it still always comes up to the surface when talking about SEO. As […]
Retrieving Search Analytics Data from the Google Search Console API for Bulk Keyword Research
Last year I blogged about using 855 properties to retrieve all your Search Analytics data. Just after that Google luckily released that the limits on the API to retrieve only the top 5000 results had been lifted. Since then it’s been possible to potentially pull all your keywords from Google Search Console via their API […]
