Creating A Marketing Strategy for your Auto Body Shop That Works!Lee Emmons
When we first started AP Media in 2010, we didn’t set out to specialize in the collision repair industry – we set out to specialize in digital marketing. Fate would have it that two of our first accounts were Mark’s Body Shop in Baltimore and K&M Collision in North Carolina – two independent shops with a strong focus on the consumer above all else.
Our early education in the industry came from these two shops, and if any of you are aware of Mark’s and K&M, you’ll know that they have a very strong set of core beliefs at the heart of the way they do business. They take great pride in their independence. They believe that their customer, the vehicle owner, is the top priority. And as a result, the quality of the work has to get as close to perfection as humanly possible.
Not only did we take this on as the way body shops should do business, we also took these principles and made them our own. And we take pride in striving for perfection, and the customer is number one. The growth of the businesses we work with is the purpose of everything we do, and the key to that growth is to understand and serve the needs of the consumer.
If you don’t understand the consumer’s needs and their process of buying your services, you’ll never know how to attract them to your shop, and you may never be in the right place at the right time when they need you. Because the collision repair buying process is very different from most other industries.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

2. 12 SEO
Techniques
You Need To Be Using in 2021
Below are the Techniques that you should
be paying attention to increase your site's
Organic Traffic as we move into 2021.
They're not the only SEO tactics you'll need
to be using, but these techniques should
form a core part of your strategy. By
working to implement each of these, you'll
be able to work on improving your Visibility
and Traffic.
3. List 1-3 ways your company
proposes to solve them.
Find Your Competitors'
Best Performing Pages
The more you know about your competitors' SEO strategy, the better your own site can perform. When you take the
time to figure out what's working for the websites you compete against on the SERPs, you can take your analysis to the
next level and understand why this approach is working before using this insight to inform your own approach.
A content/keyword gap
A link gap
An opportunity to improve your existing content
Keyword cannibalization
Analyzing your competitors' top pages can point you in the direction of things like:
4. Inform Your Content Strategy
Using A Keyword Gap Analysis
Optimizing existing content
Creating new content
When it comes to creating a content strategy, you will typically have two main
focus areas:
While optimizing existing content is often the most effective starting point (after all, it's
easier to see gains from improving content that is already indexed than completely new
pieces), most websites will get to a stage where they've optimized all of their existing
pieces.
At this point, your efforts should turn to the creation of new content. But one of the
biggest mistakes that SEOs make when creating content is doing so blindly.You need to
be creating content with a purpose and need to be able to justify why every single piece
that you create exists. This means taking the time to carefully plan out a strategy for the
creation of new content.
5. Use Digital PR To
Earn Authority
Backlinks
One of the biggest challenges that SEOs face is how to
earn authority backlinks at scale.
The best way to get other sites to create high-quality, relevant links to
yours is to create unique, relevant content that can naturally gain
popularity in the Internet community. Creating good content pays off:
Links are usually editorial votes given by choice, and the more useful
content you have, the greater the chances someone else will find that
content valuable to their readers and link to it.
6. Expert insights
Think of this as creating and
promoting content to journalists
and publishers that they'll want
to cover and link to from within
their articles. Content such as: Research studies
Infographics
8. Improve Your
Organic CTR Using
PPC Testing
Title tag
Meta description
CTR is used as a ranking factor and it's something
that you should be optimizing for. But let's break
down the elements that can impact your site's
click-through rate. Typically, these are:
9. CTR
You're not going to get like-for-
like title tags and meta
descriptions with ads due to the
way ad headlines and
descriptions are structured, but
you'll get some powerful data
around key phrases and
headings, as an example.
To determine the best title tag to use.
Test at least three different headlines but
keep the description the same for each.
To determine the best description to use.
Test at least three different ones but keep
the title/headline the same for each.
10. Optimize For
'People Also Ask'
The SERPs in 2020 go way beyond the '10 blue links' that once
occupied Google's first page, and smart SEOs need to be working
to take advantage of as many SERP features as possible.
They can help you to rank twice on page 1, with it being possible to hold a PAA result and first page ranking, unlike
with featured snippets.
They can help you to appear prominently at the top of the SERPs as an answer to the questions your customers are
asking, with over 75% of PAA results showing in the top three results.
They can be triggered as query refinements for the kinds of questions that Google might struggle to interpret.
There are a whole host of reasons why you should be paying
attention to PAA, including:
11. Steal Your
Competitor's
Broken Backlinks
We've already discussed how difficult it
can be to build quality backlinks, but one
great tactic you can use is a variant of
broken link building.
While this tactic is typically based around
finding broken links, creating content that
fits the link, and reaching out to try and get
it repointed to your piece (rather than the
one that's dead),
use to get a head start: finding the links that
point to 404 pages on your competitors'
websites. Enter your competitor's domain
into the SEMrush Backlink Analytics Tool,
head to the 'indexed pages' tab, and tick the
'Target URL error' box.
12. Use Supporting Content
To Show Topical Expertise
Google wants to rank the best result for any given search query, and that's why it's
so important for you to think about optimizing for topics, not just single keywords.
You need to be demonstrating topical expertise to stand a chance of ranking at the
top of the SERPs for your main 'money' keywords, and this means getting to grips
with the concept of supporting content. Familiar with topic clusters?
Essentially, this is the process of creating cluster content that's internally
linked back to a pillar page. These are more in-depth pages that answer a
specific question about your broad topic and links back to the main pillar
page. This strategy allows you to also create content that's optimized for
long-tail keywords.
13. Use Internal Links To
Supercharge Page 2 Rankings
Have you got keywords that are ranking on page 2 that need boosting onto the first
page of the SERPs? Adding internal links that point to these pages could help you to
achieve this.
Internal linking passes both PageRank (link authority) and relevancy signals.
Internal linking is a massively underutilized SEO technique, and it's often enough
to see these page 2 rankings jump onto page 1.
To take advantage of internal linking, you first need to find opportunities to boost
page 2 positions.
14. Optimize Core Web
Vitals

Any links intended to manipulate PageRank or a site's ranking in Google
search results may be considered part of a link scheme and a violation of
Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. This includes any behavior that
manipulates links to your site or outgoing links from your site.
