Episode Transcript

Areej AbuAli: Hey, everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Women in Tech SEO podcast. I'm Areej AbuAli and I am the founder of Women in Tech SEO. Today's episode is all about transparency and communication in client reporting. Joining me today is the brilliant Barb Davids, who is the owner and SEO consultant at Compass Digital Strategies. Hey Barb!

Barb Davids: Hey Areej, how are you?

Areej AbuAli: I'm good. How are you?

Barb Davids: Doing good. It's midweek. It's good.

Areej AbuAli: I'm super excited to have you. You were just with us in WTS Workshop recently, so it's great to have you on the podcast as well.

And then before that, for probably a good year, solid year, I had more clarity in what I wanted to do. And the idea was to work any time, anywhere. I wanted to just not sit behind a desk anymore. And when I started the concept of Compass Digital Strategies, although it didn't start out that way in terms of the name and what it did, but I started working towards that and specifically with photographers because I was a fitness photographer at the time. I've since closed the business, but I started working with other photographers and learning about SEO and trying to figure out specifically for this industry, what do I need to know to do? And then I found that other people were having the same problem. And I'm like, OK, well, if it's even difficult for me and I've been in the actual the digital marketing industry for well over twenty years, how hard is it for people who don't have any of that background? So it started that way and I started helping some people and things kind of grew. And then Compass Digital Strategies kind of evolved. And now I do different businesses do some client work. Some of them I do...
