MozCon 2019: The Initial Agenda

MozCon 2019: The Initial Agenda

While a few details are still being pulled together, topics range from technical SEO, content marketing, and local search to link building, machine learning, and way more — all with an emphasis on practitioners sharing tactical advice and real-world stories of how they’ve moved the needle (and how you can, too.) Casie Gillette Making Memories: Creating Content People Remember We know that only 20% of people remember what they read, but 80% remember what they saw. Wil Reynolds Topic: TBD A perennial favorite on the MozCon stage, we’re excited to share more details about Wil’s 2019 talk as soon as we can! Traditional keyword research is poorly suited to Google's quest for answers. Ross Simmonds Keyword's Aren't Enough: How to Uncover Content Ideas Worth Chasing Many marketers focus solely on keyword research when crafting their content, but it just isn't enough these days if you want to gain a competitive edge. Britney Muller Topic: TBD Last year, Britney rocked our socks off with her presentation on machine learning and SEO. Mary will deep-dive into how the Google Local algorithm has matured in 2019 and how marketers need to mature with it; how the major elements of the algo (relevance, prominence, and proximity) influence local rankings and how they affect each other; how local results are query dependent; how to feed business info into the Knowledge Graph; and how brand is now "king" in Local Search. Buckle up for this wild ride as we discover exactly what impact different strategies have on local rankings. “Branded search” isn't just when people search for your client’s brand name — instead, think brand, category, people, conversation around the brand, PR narrative, brand entities/assets, and so on. And again, if you haven’t grabbed your ticket yet, we’ve got your back: Has speaking at MozCon been on your SEO conference bucket list?
