How to Use Our Tools

Watch the following Youtube videos for an introduction to the tools we use to complete our work.

Remote Working Best Practices & Etiquette

Watch through this short Youtube Video to learn more about best practices when working from home. 

Other important points: your messaging tone should always be professional - don’t just use emojis or casual slang too much. Email response time & tone - the expectation is to respond to emails within 24 hours and sound professional, if you offer a solution make sure you do it and confirm completion in a timely manner. When an issue arises that is outside the realm of your normal work, please escalate it immediately to your trainer or team lead, and we will work together to find a solution or provide you with resources to solve the issue.

What Is SEO?

The What Is SEO? worksheet contains some baseline SEO knowledge readings followed by questions to demonstrate retention. The purpose of this sheet isn't to have you answer the questions "correctly," but to correct your answers with a discussion, and give you a reference sheet you can refer to when you need to brush up on the basics.

We encourage you to complete BOTH the Your First Day and What Is SEO? Guides by the end of your first day. The team lead or your training buddy will open your worksheet with you and go through your answers and correct where needed.
