In our rush to rank, we put ourselves first, neglecting what searchers (and our future customers) want. Google wants to reward sites that deliver on searcher intent, and SERP features are a window into that intent. Find out how to map keywords to intent, understand how intent informs the buyer funnel, and deliver on the promise of ranking to drive results that attract clicks and customers.

(Got to) give the people what they want - Amazon Search Summit June 2017

Charlie Williams

In this talk for Amazon's Search Summit (put together by Sistrix), I took a look at one of the most exciting parts of working in search - building content that you *know* will resonate with your audience through using keyword data. As a publisher, you can learn what market to expand into by using SEO data as a form of audience research. You can learn what content works (links for people, rankings for Google) and create reader-led content that helps them as the hero in their story through keyword research.

Charlie Williams

This is a talk I delivered at The SEO Social (a meetup by The Digital Showcase) on the 29th May 2017. I wanted to take a look at how I see keyword research for ecommerce sites developing, and we can make better selling content that addresses shopper intent. "For commercial websites, the race is on for brands to become publishers, and retailers to show-off their expert, or E-A-T, content credentials. Keyword research is fundamental for most SEO campaigns, but for e-commerce sites it is the difference between seeing plenty of footfall or being stuck in a quiet backstreet. Fortunately, we have more keyword and audience research tools than ever before. And in this talk, we’ll look at some of the best options to find content topics across the entire purchase cycle. With tips on finding how your audience talks about your product, and the problems they search for help with, this talk aims to expand your site’s reach, and fast."

The curious case of you

Samantha Laing

From a place of curiosity (as opposed to judgement) you will explore your feelings, emotions, actions. We take some time to set the scene and still your mind and inner critic. And then the work will begin. What is inside you yearning to be heard? What is it your body wants to say to your mind? What is important to you? This is deep YOU work - you will not be sharing with others - instead you will explore where your heart and mind needs you to go. The final part of this will be exploring joy and how that might look for you.
