SearchLove Boston 2016 | Rand Fishkin | The Measure of a Marketer's WorthDistilled
Web marketers have thousands of tactics to choose from, almost all of which can be measured, benchmarked and tracked over time. However, we too often invest in work that doesn't line up to the metrics we care about. We're tasked with work that's supposed to hit numbers, yet lack the connection between that work and those goals. In this high-level presentation, Rand will explore several analogies that illuminate a path to measuring all the way through, from work to metrics to goals.
Presented at TheInbounder 2016
Get to know your users better, then give them what they want.
There's a person behind every keyword, an intent, a context - all of which traditional keyword research often misses. This presentation is for people trying to gain a better understanding of the people behind the searches, not with fancy tools, but basically stopping to look at Google's results and leveraging the machines to better understand the people, then how to turn that into a content strategy.
Consumer search behaviour is complex.
You perform multiple searches on multiple devices over multiple days; where everything you see and experience, in the SERPs and beyond, influences your brand preference and purchase decisions.
Traditional funnel analysis and marketing models do a poor job of measuring and managing this ecosystem.
We need to re-think the way we talk about, measure and manage SEO if we want bigger budgets, integrated strategies, and to win big - and we need to move fast; some of the world's biggest companies are already beating us to it.

These days, almost all discussion of local search revolves around GMB. However, this is a concept that needs to change. As more searches crave more local results, Google will continue to deliver those across its platform. How do you increase your search market share beyond GMB? And just what do you do with GMB after you have exhausted your options?
Creating a successful content strategy is really hard. Competition is growing and Google continuously refines its understanding of relevance and authority.
Blogs are the wrong approach to tackle that challenge. Instead, I want to propose Microsites as a vehicle.

In this talk, Mike King will be discussing the text analysis concepts behind how content is processed and how we as marketers can harness it to develop more optimized content.

I want to talk about takeaways for a second. I hear this term a lot. The way that makes me feel is…eh. It’s like a sign I have in my backyard, where nothing really important happened on that spot in 1782.
