RankUp #16 – 2020 SEO Round-Up

2020 has been a crazy year for a thousand different reasons, and the world of SEO has faced its own challenges. In our final episode of 2020, Edd and I go guestless for the first time to break down the headlines of this year like no other.







We mentioned a load of different updates and resources as always, but this time we actually remember to write everything down! Here are your links to everything that we mentioned:
