Why did you choose your topic?
I want people to understand how web design and SEO are connected. If I can help educate them, they can make better decisions.
What do you want people to learn from your session?
How to perform long-tail SEO research which makes up 70% of search traffic, how that is directly tied to the future of SEO, and how Gutenberg makes it easier for the user to make use of content blocks to achieve this.
Why did you decide to speak?
Education is my greatest passion, and when I heard about WordCamp I thought it would be a great event/community to share with.
What brought you to WordPress in the first place?
It’s the best CMS in my opinion. We develop full custom websites using the Genesis Framework and have some websites fully loading between 800ms and 3.5s. WordPress provides both technical performance and a user-friendly experience.
What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Toronto?
Meeting people, learning and most of all answering questions.
What’s your advice to other WordCamp attendees?
I really want to talk about how connected SEO and websites are. There is a really big knowledge gap here, and we have the results and data to show the strong connection.
Great topic, one that I have been studying and applying over the past few years. Definitely the difference maker to a website.
Would be interesting to see how Gutenberg bridges this job.
