Scaling SEO Through Team Transitions: How Collaboration Fuels Long-Term Search Growth With Natalia Matos | Ep. 28

When leadership changes, everything changes—processes shift, priorities reset, and SEO teams are forced to prove their value all over again. In this episode of Performance SEO Unpacked, host Ruchi Pardal talks with Natalia Matos, SEO Manager at Quadient, about keeping performance steady when transitions hit hard.

Natalia shares how she kept SEO moving through leadership changes by focusing on clarity, documentation, and momentum—because, as she puts it, “SEO does not pause because of reorganization.” She explains how aligning SEO with shared business goals turns teams into partners, not requesters, and why trust builds on quick wins and transparency. Together they unpack the mindset and systems that make SEO resilient—from search everything optimization and cross-team collaboration to testing, over-communication, and growth-driven processes that thrive through any change.
