This SEO Mistake Could Destroy Your Agency

In Conversation with Dana DiTomaso

In this episode of E-Coffee with Experts, our host Ranmay chats with Dana DiTomaso, Founder & Lead Instructor of Analytics Playbook and President of Kick Point.

Dana shares how she got started in the early 2000s, what’s changed (a lot), and why she’s now laser-focused on analytics over rankings.

She opens up about common mistakes agencies make when scaling, how to spot red flag clients early, and why obsessing over being “#1 on Google” doesn’t make sense anymore. They also dive into how AI is shaking up search results, why your metrics might be lying to you, and what brands should really focus on in 2025 and beyond.

It’s insightful, honest, and packed with wisdom for anyone in SEO, marketing, or running an agency.
