SEO & Analytics for Site Design

Event Date

About the Event

SEMPO Canada Vancouver’s first meetup of 2012 is titled, Measure Twice, Cut Once: SEO and Analytics Guidelines for Site Design. Presented by Guacira Naves, owner of The Online Strategy House, this will be a helpful session for anyone planning a site design or redesign this year.

From SEMPO Vancouver’s meetup page:

Designing a new site or revamping an existing one can both present SEO practitioners with fantastic opportunities to initiate optimization at the best possible time: during the planning stage.

When consulting on the development of a new site, there are myriad guidelines that must be top of mind during the conception phase. If a site redesign is what you’re involved with, you must watch out for several critical issues to ensure that search engine visibility is preserved.

Attend this presentation and gain a comprehensive view of procedures that will benefit you in both scenarios. In addition, see how analytics can be your ally in these situation, and how trends in Web design are influencing search engine visibility.

SEMPO Meetup: Building Search Evangelists through User Centricity

Event Date

About the Event

Monique Sherrett is speaking at SEMPO Canada Vancouver’s last meetup of 2011, Contribution and Commitment: Building Search Evangelists through User Centricity. Monique’s presentation will explore the role of a generalist in a world of specialists, in particular where the crossroads and touchpoints are in our shared relationship with a client.

From SEMPO Vancouver’s meetup page:

There’s no substitute for the depth of expertise a search specialist brings to an organization, but there is a secret talent to understanding a generalist’s perspective on marketing budgets, timelines and reporting.

The presentation will look at the polite struggle for control that exists in all generalist-specialist relationships and how, as specialists, we can:

Help the unaware understand the genius of our complex ideas
Inspire the interested to commit to a plan and budget
Reassure those who’ve agreed to integrate search marketing that their money is being wisely spent, and
Convert allies in an organization into search evangelists

As the profession of Search Marketer continues to evolve, the principles of user centricity that we bring to our search campaigns can also be used to manage client/manager relationships. Step behind the curtain to see how marketing generalists think about search and what you can do about it.
