The Potential Impact of Gen Z on SEO

Image
Posted by stewartfussell Generation Z's behaviors differ from the cohorts that came before it, creating a new challenge for businesses marketing to consumers within it. Gen Z's presence is also growing in the marketing industry itself and, as such, learning how to work with and appeal to these young people is a critical step to take sooner rather than later.  Who is Generation Z?

Winners and more winners Back in May, I came down pretty hard on winners and losers reports.
