1 week ago | creativeboom.com | Tom May

Meet Sarah. She's been running her branding studio for eight years. She's brilliant at what she does—creating logos that make startups look like they've been around forever and crafting brand identities that actually mean something. But lately, she's been staring at her Google Analytics dashboard with growing panic. Once, her SEO game was solid.
