Episode Details

How do you find a blogger who won't accidentally tank your SEO?

Hiring a blogger might not directly involve SEO, but the wrong hire can quietly undo months of progress. Hiring the right blogger comes down to three checks: originality, topic strategy, and how they use AI, each one protecting the SEO progress you've already built.

• Original content versus duplicated or recycled blogs
• Keyword cannibalization from topic-only blogging
• Right and wrong ways a blogger should use AI
• Setting the strategy yourself before you hire
