Learn about the different things you can and cannot automate in SEO, saving you time and enabling more advanced work. Discover free tools, such as KNIME, and learn how to use them to begin your automation efforts. Finally, learn what an API is and how it can help you and your SEO work
SEO has always sat at the intersection between being a science and an art. We all love to try out new ideas and try to understand what makes the search engines tick, but it can be frustrating to have to cut through the guesswork and speculation just to figure out what Google really wants from us. Even worse, we still find ourselves making SEO changes, seeing uplifts, but then not knowing which changes actually had any impact.
Fortunately, new software and better technologies now make it possible to run proper SEO-focused tests and, for the first time, actually measure the impact that each SEO change has on our site. Rob will share these techniques, discuss some of the experiments that Distilled has been running, reveal the unexpected things they’ve learned along the way, and share how you can start running experiments yourself.
TechSEO Boost 2017: SEO Best Practices for JavaScript T-Based WebsitesCatalyst
While providing a dynamic and fast user experience, JavaScript-based sites (SPAs/PWAs) are not always “SEO friendly.” Therefore, it is crucial for developers to understand how search engines crawl, parse, eventually render, and index dynamic websites, to make sure bots get the experience they developed and the content of the site.

SearchLove London 2016 | Dom Woodman | How to Get Insight From Your LogsDistilled
In the SEO industry, we obsess on everything Google says, from John Mueller dropping a hint in a Webmaster Hangout, to the ranking data we spend £1000s to gather. Yet we ignore the data Google throws at us every day, the crawling data. For the longest time, site crawls, traffic data, and rankings have been the pillars of SEO data gathering. Log files should join them as something everyone is doing. We'll go through how to get everything set-up, look at some of the tools to make it easy and repeatable and go through the kinds of analysis you can do to get insights from the data.

Join JR as he shares a few projects that he had been involved with in the SEO space as well as recent technologies of particular interest to SEOs. He’ll also cover recent research and share thoughts on how Google is using machine learning. SEO is a data rich realm and machine learning thrives on data.

From query semantics, anomaly detection, ontologies, to having machines write descriptions for your images, you’ll learn what is available and how to get started.

Tackling Python: What is it and How Can it Help with Technical SEO? | TechSEO...Ruth Everett
Python has risen in popularity over the last few years, so much so that it has become one of the most talked about and widely-adopted programming languages. But why should technical SEOs care about Python?
You know Machine Learning, your models are working well, the team likes the results… but now you need to “serve” them in an API so that others can interact with it (developers/frontend team/other systems).
In this talk, you will learn how to easily build a production-ready web (JSON) API for your ML models with FastAPI, including best practices by default... explained with memes.
With very little code, you will get automatic/interactive documentation, data validation, authentication, open standards (OpenAPI, JSON Schema, OAuth2), and the best performance available in Python (on par with Go and NodeJS).
On top of that, you will have autocompletion and type checks in your editor, even for your own data, no matter the complexity of its shape.

We’ve heard it all before: “Right User. Right Time. Right Message.”
In a world of automation in the PPC landscape, it seems that marketers can lose control of their ad messaging if they’re not careful. Learn how to navigate ad formats such as RSAs and other responsive formats, create winning ad copy that resonates and “test” ads in today’s world.
As automation opportunities expand and creative needs grow, this is sure to be one presentation you don’t want to miss! So join us on Wednesday, September 25th, at Rocket55 in Northeast Minneapolis to hear Brooke Osmundson of NordicClick Interactive give the skinny on all the above!
Let’s face it, you’ve been cranking content out for years and the majority of it isn’t successful. Learn how The Motley Fool’s Alli Berry has been applying the principles of the popular KonMari Method™ to allow their best web pages to flourish by pruning unsuccessful content. In this session, you will learn a systematic way to uncover and improve your best performing content, find “too similar” pages that are cannibalizing your efforts, and develop a redirect strategy that will lead to organic growth.
If voice queries, answer boxes, AMP and entities have you worrying about what’s coming next and where to spend your budget, this session is for you.
One speaker will tell you it’s all about AMP, while another insists that voice is the thing to focus on. This session will take a practical journey into the SERPs, analyzing the different types of results, what produces those results, and how you can decide what is likely to work best for your business and budget. In this session, you will take away specific action items that you can apply immediately to your business – making the most of your existing assets and driving increased revenue.
We know that brands win online, right? But what makes a brand? See how big a lift local brands can get when they work to be present offline through news and other media.
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 presentation, I’m using examples from Atlassian, G2, Backlinko, and others to show how Microsites 2.0 are being built, why they’re the better framework and how you can set them up for yourself.
Search engines have spent years telling marketers to just focus on "making great content," but what does that truly mean to a robot? When you dig into Information Retrieval, the Computer Science behind search engines, it becomes clear that there is a specific statistical expectation that drives the understanding of what content is relevant for which queries.
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.
Telling clients everything is going great? Best! Spending hours downloading CSV files and taking screenshots? Worst! Going over that report you spent hours on and realizing that no one understands it but you? The absolute worst!
In this talk, you'll learn how to make better reports — including automation, design, and goal setting.

In-Market and Affinity Audiences. Customer Match. Custom Intent. Demographic targeting. Google’s catalog of audience targeting options has exploded over the past couple of years.
In this talk, we will cover how to make Google Ads’ ever-growing audience targeting options work for you on a layer-by-layer basis. Attendees will be given strategies for simple tests that can be rolled out right away, to campaign overhauls through data analysis and audience discovery. We will introduce new ideas for new audience layers including remarketing and customer match approaches.
We will discuss some examples of tests gone wrong, such as the common problem of limiting audiences so severely that they halt spend altogether. And we will discuss how to overcome these key pitfalls for those who are just starting to use Google audience targeting in earnest across their search ad campaigns.
Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Amazon Advertising – what do all these have in common? Besides the major re-branding and re-focusing of their main messages to several levels up from where we might think of them historically, they’re also ushering in some important signals for what paid search marketers need to prepare for and think bigger about. Sure, we’ll continue to have the day to day overall duties stay highly tactical with shared budgets, QS improvements, to bid manually or not debates and best practices in aggregate over the coming years, but we are going to see some fundamental landscape changes in the next 2 years in a faster and more impactful manner than we have in the last 10 years of search marketing.
LinkedIn Ads features, hands-down, the best B2B targeting on the planet. It’s also unapologetically expensive, meaning that any mistake becomes an expensive one.

We’ll focus on achieving scale and performance while minimizing costs. Using these strategies, you’ll become the marketer whom the sales team worships!
Advances in machine learning are responsible for ever-more automated campaign management from Google in the form of close variants, smart bidding, smart campaigns, similar audiences, etc. Do these automations really drive better results? How can PPC managers leverage this free technology to free up time to work on new things? And what are the best new things to focus on to drive exponential growth? Join Fred Vallaeys to learn more about free automation tools you can start using today to become a PPC rockstar.
Google Data Studio is a great way to create compelling data visualizations...for free! And Google Sheets is a powerful free tool that many search marketers swear by. Individually they are awesome tools that can help you communicate your value to stake holders. But when you add Supermetrics to the mix you've created a data visualization powerhouse. I'll show you how to put these three tools together to prove your value.
Keyword research is imperative when writing any type of content on your site or for your clients. With so many tools out there, learn what some of the best tools are there in the market and how to utilize key features from each of them from Ahrefs to Google Keyword Planner and more.
Screaming Frog scrapes a lot of critical information by default; page titles, H1 elements, canonical tags, etc. But what if you want to pull other data points into your site crawls? With Custom Extraction, you can program Screaming Frog to scrape just about any information you want. Once you get a handle on how to use it, you can conduct more advanced site crawls and analysis.
Getting the attention of someone that’s never heard of your brand before gets more and more difficult every year. Securing influential advocates to link and share is critical to both top of funnel awareness and conversion-driving trust. But counting on free samples and demos won’t be enough to entice influencers to shout your praises. You are going to have to market the value of a business partnership to them just like you are marketing your product/service to your customers.
The value of storytelling for marketing has been all but evangelized in recent years, and for good reason. A well-crafted story has the ability to clearly convey a message, motivate emotion in a buyer, and even build loyal relationships to a brand. But how do you actually create a storytelling campaign from beginning to end? How do you incorporate it into blogs, emails, and brief social media posts. This talk will discuss the steps you need to take to find the right idea, put it to the keyboard, and create your campaign from beginning to end.
In the fast-paced world of Facebook advertising, cutting edge is king, and the marketplace is rife with people selling silver bullets. Savvy marketers know they can’t lazily rely on a conversion campaign to get it done for them any longer: higher-funnel awareness, ongoing engagement and good ol’ fashioned brand building are key to kicking ass.
In this session Joy Hawkins and Darren Shaw will take a deep dive into some of the changes that have happened in the last year for local search. They’ll highlight 6 of the most-talked-about changes and tell you what you need to know to stay ahead in your Local SEO strategy. They’ll answer questions such as does this change impact my visibility on Google? Does this new feature Google launched impact my ranking? Does this change impact the strategy you should be using regularly when approaching SEO?

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

Why Automate?
1.Work faster and free up time for the
important stuff
2.Look at more data
3.Improved consistency and procedure
4. Paul Shapiro | @fighto
What Can You Automate?
• If you’re doing something on a routine basis,
it can probably be automated (but doesn’t
mean it should).
• Any procedures that can be broken down into
smaller, micro-tasks that can be handled a by
a computer.
• Machine Learning can help with more complex
decision making (think power of AlphaGo).
