505 | Are Brand SERPS an SEO Ranking Factor?

Jason Barnard has joined Erin on the EDGE again to discuss his new book, The Fundamentals of Brand SERP for Business. Jason, The Brand SERP Guy, is blazing the trail of Brand SERP education and we’re unpacking concepts around this on this podcast as well as the second segment.  But, Is Brand SERP SEO?  Are Brand SERPs a ranking factor for keyword ranking?  We’re covering these questions and so much more in this episode.  \
