#38. Analyzing 500,000+ YouTube Videos and More SEO & Product Research w/ Tory Gray
December 5, 2023
As we gear up for 2024, I've been thinking to myself, who are all the experts that are on the frontlines of being able to help expertise-driven businesses grow faster online? Who's doing it with data? If I could find a "superexpert" for every single one of the 9 steps I used to help my clients win, who'd I wanna have a conversation with?
That's when I thought of this week's guest - Tory Gray.
Longtime friend and CEO of Gray.Company, an SEO, Data & Digital Market Intelligence consultancy.
