Hi Nathan, loved this video. Can you also create videos on topics like,

1. Schema markup - beginner. intermediate and advanced

2. SEO strategy. Not like which can found on Google, but which answers the WHY behind everything. Something which Tom Critchlow explains

3. How to measure and explain ROI and value of SEO

4. SEO forecasting

5. How to do audit. Diving really deep in this. Like once you do the basic audit from semrush then how you present it to the clients),

6. How to create topic clusters

7. Where SEO fits in the whole marketing puzzle?

8. How to use internal linking to grow rankings?

9. The future of SEO and how to prepare for BARD?

10. What to do when your pages isn't ranking but you have everything possible thing?

11. Hoe Google search works?

12. Landing page design

13. SEO and CRO

14. SEO migration (really deep dive in this)

15. Link velocity

These are the questions I haven't found the answer of and no one has created good content on this. Everyone just puts up a basic blog/video. If you create content on this then it would be really helpful for beginners in this industry.

An explanatory video about cannibalization would be PERFECT. I recently realized that one of my articles covered different search intentions for the keywords it was optimized for, so I decided to take some of those keywords and create a specific post to rank better. However, it seems that Google is viewing both posts as duplicate content, as they have similar ideas and keywords, even though the search intent is different.The example is a top 10 listicle that ranked for keywords about "ranking of x product". I don't know if it's clear, my English is not the best. A hug, excellent content as always!
