Challenges faced
Initially, the challenges faced was with the quality of content produced by the content team but this was solved later down the line.
Collaboration with the content team was key to our success. We organized seminars and training sessions to keep everyone abreast of Google algorithm updates and strategies to adapt to changes.
Despite technical security challenges, such as two hacking incidents affecting the Battabox website, we swiftly recovered with the assistance of the development team. These experiences underscored the patience required for the long-term strategy of SEO.
Working closely with the CEO and content team, we strategically set expectations and adapted to the constant changes in search engine algorithms, staying updated on the eleven Google updates released this year alone.

In conclusion, my journey at Battabox has been a continuous cycle of learning, unlearning, and relearning. I am excited about the future and the collective achievements my team and I will build together.
