SEO expert and consultant Eli Schwartz will join Managing Editor Danny Crichton tomorrow to share his advice for everyone who gets nervous each time Google updates its algorithm.

To set a foundation for tomorrows chat on Twitter Spaces, Eli shared a guest post that should deflate some myths. For starters: A drop in search traffic isnt necessarily hurting you.

Instead of chasing the algorithm, he advises companies that rely on organic search results to focus on the user experience instead: If you are helpful to the user, you have nothing to fear.

Just like you release product updates based on feedback and analytics, Googles improving its products to offer a better user experience.

If you see a drop, in many cases, your site might not have even lost real traffic, says Eli. Often, the losses represent only lost impressions already not converting into clicks.

Tomorrows discussion is the latest in a series of chats with top Extra Crunch guest contributors. If youve worked with a talented growth marketer, please share a brief recommendation.
