Topics for Presentations & Workshops
All talks can be customized for marketers, designers, developers, or product managers.
There is so much more to SEO than keywords, rankings, and links. As Google’s algorithm gets updated and their bots get more sophisticated, the technical aspects of SEO—such as speed, mobile, schema, AMP, and more—are becoming critical pieces of succeeding online. Matthew will help participants learn what they need to do to improve their website’s technical SEO performance.
In today’s world, even the smallest businesses have a wealth of information readily available to them but many people don’t realize this data exists or how to tap into it. At the end of the workshop, participants will know what tools to use and why, what reports to check and when, and how to use this information to optimize websites, apps, and products.
Matthew takes participants beyond the basics to help people get more out of their analytics accounts. Participants will learn how to measure users’ behaviors through goals and events, how to use segments, how to use custom reports, and how to conduct split testing.
Data is all around us and there are hundreds of ways to use that data to help prioritize and optimize design, development, and marketing. But, what kinds of data or metrics should be used? Matthew provides a practical approach to using data and analytics, whether you are just starting or an analytics master.
We all know user experience matters, but how do we prove it? Matthew will discuss creative ways companies have used advanced tracking techniques to deeply understand how people engage with our websites. Attendees will leave knowing how to adjust these types of metrics to improve their website.
Making your website a success isn’t as difficult as you may think. Matthew provides an accessible and actionable approach based on five simple yet effective themes that can help to improve a website’s traffic and conversions.
