The Internet of Things (IoT) turned science fiction technology into a modern reality. Today, everything from your home speaker to your watch to your refrigerator is online and integrated. This presents an interesting challenge and an exciting opportunity for web designers and digital marketers.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is an intricate, interconnected content marketing puzzle, and link building has always been a significant piece of that puzzle. Popular SEO gurus like Moz refine their link building 101 guidelines every few years, but the consensus remains the same: links are important.

Something mentioned a lot in web design communities is the idea of SEO best practices. There is an entire subculture of the technology world dedicated to figuring out how the algorithms that Google employs categorize and prioritize search results.

Maybe they assured you that delays were a natural part of the process. Or maybe they promised you that even though each deliverable was different than you imagined, the end result would come together as your vision brought to life in perfect form.  

Regardless of how it happened, your new website doesn’t cut it. What happens now?
