Mordy’s in a Box!

Crystal Carter, Head of SEO Communications at Wix, joins the EDGE team in the absence of Mordy, who evidently has box issues.  A whirlwind of news, we covered X ad revenue (got to have at least 15M impressions, sorry), SGE testing links and Product Rating AI policies.  We dove in to the AI side deeply and came out with a huge win!  We now can all have Mordy’s desk as a virtual background!  This is for all of the #SEO community!  Go to MordysRingTone.com today to download the image for your virtual upgrade!
