Casie Gillette

When we talk about SEO, we talk a lot about the "users" coming to the site or the "audience" we are trying to target. But what about our customers? As the search landscape evolves and search behavior changes, we have to think about our customers and their experience with our business. They are no longer simply searching in Google - they are asking questions, talking on social, using review sites and making decisions based on what other people are saying. As search marketers, we need to understand this behavior to create more effective campaigns, write better content, and ensure our business is in the right place. In this session, we'll look at how the customer experience is changing, how it's impacting the search results and why marketers must adapt.
