How should you approach SEO for big enterprises and what’s the main factor to concentrate on?
That’s this week’s Ask an SEO question, and it comes to us from Iman H. of California. Well, Iman, here’s my take.
SEO for large enterprise comes with its own set of challenges. Because you’re working with multiple departments, goals, and directives, it can sometimes seem like it takes an Act of God to get anything done.
Here are five tips on where to focus when developing plans for large companies.

If this describes you, focus on where you can have the most impact.
Alternatively, you may run on a simple CMS like WordPress or Drupal, where you can make technical changes easily, but have a long or laborious approval process for new content.
