In this episode of SaaS Content @ Scale, I talk to Brendan Hufford, Head of SEO at Directive Consulting, a PPC & SEO agency for SaaS companies based in the US.




Here's the TLDR of the episode:




- Owning all the "What is" searches for a particular topic. In this case, it was 'devops' and allied terms.




- Creating a "Content Glossary" out of the above and how it brings in a lot of links, tons of top-of-the-funnel searches & brand discoverability. 




- Pursue keywords that are relevant; don't base it off of keyword volume.




- Bring external writers to scale up the volume. 




- Wikipedia's internal linking and how you should copy it. 




- YouTube SEO 101




- Starting & scaling a podcast
