Your team is divided on SEO and SEM strategies. How can you align everyone towards a unified approach?
Understanding the customer journey. SEO vs SEM are not either/or scenarios. They are both. They work well together when you embrace an omnichannel strategy. Being clear where each channel will support each stage in the customer journey allows these channels to work together in concert vs in silos. Organic searchers are typically in the market and researching options to make a transactional decision soon. SEM can help a company that's struggling to maintain an organic position in a competitive market get an opportunity to compete and be seen instead of being buried. SEO and SEM are a dynamic duo.

You're struggling to prove the ROI of your SEM efforts. How can you convince skeptical executives?
You don't. Your SEM efforts are either working towards a business objective, or they aren't. If all roads lead to the fact that they aren't then why make a case for something that isn't working? Executives aren't skeptical if you can clearly articulate that SEM is working. Here's the rub... you have to align on what acceptable results look like BEFORE you launch a campaign. Making a case after the fact and not implementing a measurement plan means that the moving of the goal posts will be inevitable. Set your targets. Measure against them. Report the delta. Adjust/optimize. In that order. There's a difference between measurement and reporting and that's where people miss in a big way.

You're launching a new product. How do you innovate without risking failure?
Don't avoid failure, embrace it. Look it in the face and be willing to pay the toll for if and when it happens. Otherwise, you'll freak yourself out and never innovate. Knowing that failure is coming and predicting how is part of the game. You can plan contingencies and be proactive about when you will pivot vs being blindsided by the inevitable. If you don't fail, you didn't try. You also won't learn. Most failures aren't forever. They can be minor setbacks which can set you up for future success if you let it. I think the biggest way to succeed is creating MVPs (minimally viable products), testing, and iterating. Throwing everything at a big idea is super risky, when you can test, get feedback, and adjust to validate.
