Hey, thanks for having me back. I think it's been uh it's been a minute since I've been on. So yeah, good to be back.
It's been far too long.
Far too long.
How how you been?
Not bad. Not bad. Enjoying enjoying life in APAC, currently in Tokyo. Uh so I've been I've been doing a few conferences. So do doing my rounds of finally getting out there. I think when uh when I was at Square, I wasn't really allowed to do much influencing or much um self promotion, let's put it that way. So now I'm I'm catching up a little bit. But uh yeah, it's been fun. It's been fun to try to break apart. the the whole APAC market, mostly unsuccessfully, but it's a good challenge.
Ah, don't sell yourself short. I mean, uh the the chains and shackles are off and you're able to speak freely about uh the work that you've really been doing for quite some time. I mean, you have an international background, of course, like anyone that maybe is not aware, like you have roots in Europe, spending time living there, as well as in the US, and then now Further expanding that experience into Apex. And I know probably some of the listeners have seen some of your kind of post and information from some of these conferences that you've done in Korea. And so I think it's a perfect time to have you back on the podcast and kind of share with our listeners a little bit of your experience and successes moving, you know, not just on like one market, but really thinking about it from like a
global perspective.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Love it. Yeah, the um the conference I did over in in Korea was uh was interesting because it was figuring out how to speak to a completely different market, yet which still with the current SEO landscape that's never changing. So an interesting challenge. But even over there, even in a in a landscape that's very different, the the interest still remains very, very high.
Which like maybe on that point too, like how how have you been seeing the evolution in kind of like global SEO? You know, like d do you feel like your approach or tactics have shifted in recent years? Um, or has it been kind of, you know, more of a continuation of status quo?
Yeah, I would say I would say it's a mix of both, but in general, definitely more of a shift. The first the first thing is it's been a shift because as you work on different markets, and actually let's use Korea as an example, their the Google market share is fifty percent Google and fifty percent neighbor. So they're when speaking to that market, one of the mistakes that I did is I actually when I first did the conference.
