How Many Words Is a Question Worth?

Presented by Dr. Pete Meyers at Mozcon 2019

Traditional keyword research is poorly suited to Google's quest for answers. One question might represent thousands of keyword variants, so how do we find the best questions, craft content around them, and evaluate success? Dr. Pete dives into three case studies to answer these questions.

20 Years in Search & I Don't Trust My Gut or Google

Presented by Wil Reynolds (he/him) at Mozcon 2019

What would your reaction be if you were told that one of Wil's clients got more conversions from zero-volume search terms than search terms with 1000+ searches per month? It's true. Wil found this out in seconds, leading him to really look at his whole client strategy through a new lens. It also made him question company-wide strategies. How prevalent is this across all clients? Don't they all deserve to get these insights? It required him to dig into the long tail, deep. To use big data and see PPC data as insights, not just marketing. What would your reaction be if you were told that Google's "bad click" business could be generating as much annually as Starbucks or McDonalds? Wil will be making the case for big data, agencies, and why building systems that looking at every single search term you get matched to is the future of search marketing.

Focused Reporting: Fewer Reports that Do More

Presented by Dana DiTomaso (she/her) at MozCon 2018

With an ever-increasing slate of options in tools like Google Tag Manager and Google Data Studio, marketers of all stripes are falling prey to the habit of "I'll collect this data because maybe I'll need it eventually," when in reality it's creating a lot of noise for zero signal. We're still approaching our metrics from the organization's perspective, and not from the customer's perspective. Why, for example, are we not reporting on (or even thinking about, really) how quickly a customer can do what they need to do? Why are we still fixated on page views? In this talk, Dana will focus our attention on what really matters.

Ranking Is a Promise: Can You Deliver?

The #1 and Only Reason Your SEO Clients Keep Firing You

Presented by Meredith Oliver at MozCon 2018

You have a kick-ass keyword strategy. Like seriously, it could launch a NASA rocket, it's that good. You have the best 1099 local and international talent on your SEO team that working from home and an unlimited amount of free beard wax can buy. You have a super cool animal inspired company name like Sloth or Chinchilla that no one understands but the logo is AMAZING. You have all of this, yet, your client turnover rate is higher than Snoop Dog on an HBO Comedy Special. Why? You don't talk to your clients. As in, really communicate, teach them what you know, help them get it, really get it, talk to them. How do I know? I was you. The first five years of my agency we churned and burned through clients faster than Kim Kardashian can take a selfie. My mastermind group suggested we *proactively* set up and insist upon a monthly review meeting with every single client. It was a game changer and we immediately adopted the practice. Ten years later we have a 90% client retention rate and over 30 SEO clients on retainer.
