SANDHOG SEO

Today I came across the story of the unsung heroes of New York City, the Sandhogs. Without the Sandhogs NYC would not be the city it is today. Why Am I writing about Sandhogs? (I will get to that)

The story of the Sandhogs is that they are a group of construction workers (many Irish) who work underground on a variety of excavation projects, which supports the hustle and bustle of the daily commute for New Yorkers. Without this in place New York would not have the skyline it has today.

These guys risk their lives on a daily basis. One incredible story is of a miner named Marshall Mabey who was working in a compressed air tunnel when a hole burst in the wall; he was sucked through and shot out over the East River on a four storey high geyser. The following day, he returned to work. The story inspired Column McCann’s 1998 novel The Other Side of Brightness.

SEO most definitely has no similarity to the Sandhogs, but if we think of the Sandhogs being the technical aspect to SEO then it will show us the importance of having a strong structural base on a website to support the growth of your brand whether it is a start up or an established business.

Technical SEO tends to be considered a small portion of focus on SEO retainers however I feel this is a critical portion to get right or all other hours spent will not have as much bang for your buck and have minimal impact in returning your investment.
