SearchLeeds 2018 - Oliver Brett - Screaming Frog Branded3
SEOs are great at optimising sites for search engines, but they don’t always know what’s great for users. With an ever increasing focus from search engines on the abstract concept of ‘quality’ sites in competitive markets need every advantage they can get to rank higher. User testing is a vital component of a meaningful UX review, and user feedback can be essential in sussing out where, what, and why a site ‘feels’ bad. It’s how you take audits beyond just checking off technical best practices. Hobbits aren’t super powerful or especially wise, but sometimes you need them in your fellowship to get the job done.

AI undoubtedly has the potential to unlock a paradigmatic shift in the way that humans live, work and love in the world we call home. But is enough attention being payed to the ethical considerations companies and brands need to make in the face of such a brave new world?
