This past Sunday, the Wall Street Journal announced that the U.S. operations of the short-form video platform, TikTok, would be sold to Oracle Corporation.

While we wait to see how this shakes out, I want to answer two important questions regarding TikTok.

At Elbow Grease Marketing, all too often we talk with companies that don’t prioritize SEO investment as it lags way behind other digital marketing investments.
We find this puzzling.
Search engine optimization has been around since search engines were invented. As a result, SEO is sometimes regarded as an “old marketing tactic.” We hear many reasons for deprioritizing SEO.
