Humour
It’s bigger, badder and back - its What if SEO / Search Had Action Figures II - The Sequel
And like its predecessor it’s another chance to dress the most talked about seo / search marketers in spandex and give them ultimate superhero powers.
These heroes of seo / search may not be the first thought in your head to call when the world needs saving but once they pull on their alter-ego costumes there can be only one outcome - we’re all doomed.
