I'm proud to present the content in the Webology blog as my own edited work, or the work of our top employees. We do occasionally use AI for assistance with our first drafts, but I never let a single word get published without my own editorial review. I strive to present the most factual digital marketing advice possible in every article.
At least two additional members of our staff look over each post for accuracy. However, if you do spot an error in my content, please reach out to support@webology.io and I will gladly review your suggestion.
Just keep in mind that SEO is a BORING 🥱 topic to some readers, so we may have a little fun and play loose with grammar sometimes. My goal is to educate, inform, and keep things entertaining.
The views and opinions expressed here are my own opinions and do not constitute advice or services.
I do not claim to have any insider knowledge of how Google or other search engines work. What I share in the Webology blog is based on my own personal experience working at my agency.
