In this special Christmas episode of The SEO Show, hosts Michael and Arthur take a moment to reflect on the year gone by and express their gratitude to listeners. As we approach the end of 2021, they acknowledge the ups and downs of the year, including the challenges of working from the studio and home, and the occasional missed episodes.
The episode kicks off with a light-hearted introduction, where Michael invites listeners to seek a second opinion on their SEO strategies through their website, theseoshow.co. The hosts then dive into a festive discussion, celebrating the holiday season and sharing their plans for the upcoming break. Michael reveals his excitement for attending the Ashes cricket match in Melbourne, while Arthur shares his desire to experience a match at Lord's in England.
As the conversation shifts back to SEO, they humorously note that Google often releases algorithm updates around Christmas time, reminding listeners not to stress if changes occur during the holiday season. Instead, they encourage everyone to enjoy their break, indulge in festive treats like eggnog (or brandy custard, as they debate), and take a moment to relax.
The hosts also tease upcoming changes for the new year, hinting at more engaging content, including guest appearances from SEO practitioners and experts. They express their eagerness to move beyond the foundational episodes and delve deeper into the world of SEO with insights from esteemed gurus. Additionally, they contemplate refreshing the podcast's music and voiceover, with Arthur jokingly suggesting he might sing.
As the episode wraps up, Michael and Arthur extend their warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season, assuring listeners that they will return in mid-January with fresh content and exciting new guests. This episode serves as a heartfelt thank you to their audience for their support throughout the year, leaving listeners with a sense of anticipation for what’s to come in 2022.

MICHAEL:
Hi guys, Michael here. Do you want a second opinion on your SEO? Head to theseoshow.co and hit the link in the header. We'll take a look under the hood at your SEO, your competitors and your market and tell you how you can improve. All right, let's get into the show.
INTRO: It's time for the SEO show where a couple of nerds talk search engine optimization so you can learn to compete in Google and grow your business online. Now, here's your hosts, Michael and Arthur.
MICHAEL: Welcome to the SEO show. Not good? No, it's good. Yeah, I thought so. Because, ready? Watch this. I'm going to use a sound effect here. It's Christmas time. It is on the SEO show. We're just saying happy Christmas. Yeah. We don't really have anything planned for today other than just to say thank you. Yeah. It's been a bit of a weird year, you know, working from the studio and then going from home and missing a few episodes and back to the studio. And we've tried to keep up with the episodes and I hope that you've learned something from it. But, um, we are at the end of the year now. This is going to be the last episode for this year for 21. We'll be back in January. I'm not sure when mid January, probably depends when you can be bothered. Probably mid-January, let's just say mid-January. Yeah, about them. So if we go missing over this period, don't worry. We'll be on a beach somewhere. Still doing SEO. Yeah, I'll be at the cricket on a boxing day. Oh, nice. Down in Melbourne, very excited. Yeah, you love your cricket. It's my third Ashes at the MCG now. I've never been to an Ashes. Well, my next one, I want to go to one at Lord's over in England. That's on my bucket list. I don't know why we're talking about cricket now in our very special Christmas episode. Let's talk about SEO in Christmas. You tell you what happens at Christmas time with SEO? What? Google will release an algorithm update. Right on the last year. Wasn't it when we had a Christmas party? Yeah, they do it all the time. They have a Christmas party. They dropped an algo update. Yep. Crazy. So the we're recording this a little bit before the last week in December, but if an algorithm update happens, don't worry in the new year, it's time to fix it. Yeah. Yeah. Just enjoy your break. Enjoy your holidays. Enjoy your eggnog. Yep. I like eggnog. We don't have any, we have brandy custard here. It's similar. If you go to Aldi. You know I go to Aldi. Yeah. They've got eggnog. Yeah. Isn't it just brandy custard? What? No, it's eggnog. Like it's like a liquid. It's not custard. It's liquid, like a milky consistency cinnamon. This is great content by the way. Eggnog is just like liquid custard. So. But it's got a cinnamon taste to it. Yeah. Yeah. You put, yeah. So we, I think we just refer to it as, um, Anyway, I know what you're talking about. I do like it. I bet if you went to Google- Put a bit of Bailey's in there, it's great. Yeah, I had- Or whiskey. Yeah, whiskey or what did I have? Like brandy or something. Anyway. Brandy, yeah, because brandy custard is common. But the problem is it's not cold here. So you're drinking it on like a hot summer's day. You drink a cold. I know, but like in America or wherever they're drinking it around the fireplace, like the brandy's warming. But anyway, people don't care about this. No, we just want to say thank you for tuning in this year. Yes. We will be back in the new year with more episodes, new content, some guests. We're going to do a lot more guests. You know, now that we've got all the basics out of the way, all the boring stuff, All of the early intro episodes, the foundational stuff, the boring stuff as Arthur says. Yes. It's time to start bringing in SEO practitioners from around the world. Picking the brains of some SEO gurus. Some esteemed gurus. We'll get them in the house. Um, new music maybe? We've kicked around the idea of either new music or a new voiceover just to freshen things up in the new year. I'd be keen for a new voiceover. I'm trying to convince Arthur to sing. So we'll see. How am I going with that? We'll see how we go.
ARTHUR: Yeah.
MICHAEL: Okay. Well anyway, thank you. Happy Christmas. Have a great holiday period and we'll see you in the new year. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Bye bye.
