The Barry Bombardment Episode

Mordy Oberstein and Jacob Mann partner up this week to tackle the digital marketing news.

It seems the SEO industry isn’t that impressed with Google Bard. Apparently, for a pretty understandable reason, the US Congress isn’t much of a fan of TikTok, either.

They also dig into Darren Shaw’s extensive 2023 local search factors report. Mordy invents a new segment name this week. Instead of the Barry Blast he calls it the Barry Bombardment.

Come join us this week for the Barry Bombardment. . . on the EDGE!
