I have various things I’ve turned into processes here in-house at my company, but today I’m going to talk about my favorite process - the Gap Method. This is the one I use to find keywords driving traffic to the “wrong” content and to identify links and anchor text to push out to our partners.
I roundly mocked voice search for such a long time, but I think I might have been wrong. I thought that looking stupid and being unable to easily correct your search would make it useless, and that even if it became useful, it wouldn't affect us as marketers. I now think both parts might be wrong. Here's why.

You run Xenu or Screaming Frog on a client's site and come face to face with 700-odd broken internal links - that is, there are 700 separate URLs that give a visitor a "404 - Page Not Found" message. Add into the mix a list of broken external links from Webmaster Tools, and you know you've got big problems. Sigh. What's the best way to go about fixing them all? You could tackle the external links first, then internal ones? Or internal then external? Newest to oldest? Oldest to newest? Alphabetically?!
After a month or so of development, my site was finally ready and I wanted to start thinking about how to get some traffic going on the website. Whilst paid advertising and social media were a huge part of the strategy, I knew that appearing in the search engines for a wide selection of long-tail phrases was going to be instrumental to the blog's success.

SEO has turned into a very cross-discipline skillset where you absolutely need to be able to communicate and break through team barriers. If I’ve learned anything in the past few years of building and managing teams, it’s that creating harmony between "technical" and "creative" teams can make or break your campaigns. I know, I know. You're probably sick of reading content focused on building teams, and probably want tactical and strategic ones instead. But tactical and strategic won't work unless you have a solid core in place.
