How to fix common problems flagged during a technical audit
At theMediaFlow we pride ourselves on being insanely detailed technical SEOs. We use a foundation checklist which is adapted from client to client and sector to sector; though in general we always tend to include the items explained here.
Tools are a must for serious SEOs; they deliver the flexibility and capability to tackle jobs of any size. Knowing which ones best fit your needs, budget and the scale of the sites you work on is critical.
In this clinic, our veteran SEOs open their own tool chests, share with you their favorites (both free and paid) and take your questions about how to use them (and others) effectively. These are tools that have earned the loyalty of our speakers thanks to their utility, features and ability to help maximize time - no sponsored advice here!
Are you sending mixed messages to Google? There are many different signals that feed into URL selection for search engines, and when these signals aren’t implemented correctly, search engines have to make their own assumptions about your website and what pages it thinks are important.
In this talk, Rachel will share examples where a website’s signals can be ignored or overruled, as well as how to test your site's setup. Don’t leave anything to chance – be sure that the most important content on your site is getting the attention it deserves.
Different types of graphs and when you should use each + some random visuals I've always found useful.

Working exclusively with eCommerce websites across a whole range of CMS, we've seen (almost) everything, from accidental overnight noindexing of entire websites, to broken dynamic rendering stopping only poor Bingbot from crawling a site.

This talk aims to outline what we've learned about the most common issues and opportunities eCommerce websites face, with data-backed examples of what websites can do today to boost SEO and make an immediate difference in organic traffic and revenue.

Who do I contact?
1. Editors
2. Author
3. Owners of single author sites
4. Content marketing managers
5. Marketing managers
6. Webmasters
7. Generic email if no marketing team

But it depends on the size of the company
1. Small / mid-size companies – any editor is
generally fine.
• + content marketing managers
• + [title] marketing
2. Large companies (ie. Popsugar)
• editor of [category]
• assistant editor
• associate editor
• Editor in chief is usually too busy
Assistants/associates get less outreach emails.
BUT, they may not have the authority to add
your link.
114. @samsgoh

Step 1: Determine the size of the site
• Look at the about / team page.
• Search for the company on LinkedIn
115. @samsgoh
115
Step 2: Find the contact name and email
• Filter for positions on LinkedIn
• Editor
• Content
• Marketing
• webmaster
117. @samsgoh
117
Step 4: Verify the email
• Use NeverBounce to verify whether
the email is valid.
• Valid = good
• Invalid = bad
• Unknown = mostly bad
• Catchall = manually review

Hey there,
I was reading through your blog post and found that you link to Ahrefs’ guide on keyword research. It was
great, but I created an article that takes a unique approach.

Might be a good addition to your site.

Personalized on context
Hi Josh,
Sam here from Ahrefs. I’m contacting you because of a new SEO strategy that I used to increase organic traffic by 833% to
our blog.
I’m sure you’ve heard of (and appreciated) Brian’s Skyscraper technique. Not sure if you’ve tried it recently, but I’ve
personally found link conversion rates are getting worse (~3-5% on a good day). Perhaps because of spammers?
So I built on it and created the “Bulldozer technique:” [link]
We used it at Ahrefs for the past 14 months and convert links at 15-20% on any given campaign. I’m quite certain that’s the
reason why our organic traffic has had the “hockey stick” effect.
Pretty confident you’ll love the strategy :) If interested, I’m happy to send you a few pages on 97th Floor’s blog where I can
see this producing killer results.
Cheers,
Sam

Use Merge Tags
Hi {{first}},

I’m sure you’ve heard of (and appreciated) {{comp_name}} {{comp_tactic_name}}. Not sure if you’ve tried it recently,
but I’ve personally found {{comp_disadvantage}}.
