James Wirth Intro
Have you ever met someone in your professional life, where the way they approach a subject matter alters how you look at what you thought was a standard way of doing business?
A few years ago, I met James Wirth after talking with Garret French of Citation Labs, a pioneer in the link-building world. I used Citation Lab’s building research tools in the past when I was doing solo link-building outreach.
But this time, I approached Citation Labs to be a link-building agency for an enterprise business I was part of.
What I did not expect was that James was going to change the way I approached link-building, and almost everything I knew about the topic.
It is with immense pleasure, that I welcome James to the show.
