SEO
Overview
Google is now using a mobile-first index that is based on how a mobile device would crawl the web. This is a radical change from how Google previously indexed the web with a desktop-first approach. This change has major ramifications for SEOs and webmasters.
Our speakers will discuss techniques for performing an audit in a mobile-first world to ensure that content, links, metadata and structured data are compliant, regardless of how your site is accessed by users.

SEO
Overview
SEOs spend their days worrying about things like on-page content, structured data, technical issues and other high-precision tasks. By contrast, social media marketers spend most of their time on external sites, creating spontaneous content and focusing on relationships rather than technical issues. Sounds like oil and water, right?
The reality is that these two teams can be highly complementary, supporting and reinforcing their efforts for mutual benefit. In this session, our panelists will show you how they got the SEO and social media tribes to cooperate to supercharge their overall marketing campaigns.

Overview
63% of smartphone users want ads to be customised to their location, and they want those ads to react to their immediate surroundings, not just be localised to their city. Location-based ads, or LBA's, are not only preferred by consumers, but they lead them to visit stores and/or make purchases at higher rates than generic brand messages.
Caleb Donegan will walk you through the science of why consumers gravitate to geographically relevant ads, best practices for localizing ads and targeting and offer case studies of big brands reaching a level of micro-relevance never seen before in search engine marketing.

I have being working in digital marketing since 2002 and although my role at Anicca Digital is officially Managing Director, I am mainly responsible for providing digital marketing consultancy and training. This can be with new prospects during the business development process, with existing or new clients, or during our training courses and boot camps.
As a consultant and trainer, I have to know a lot about all digital marketing techniques. As a result I am constantly striving to keep up to date and also like to share the knowledge and practical experience of the team by speaking at workshops, conferences and other events (including the likes of SMX, SES, PPCHero, Ecommerce Expo, etc).
However, although I need to know a bit about most channels, I have to admit that pay per click is my real passion and I am an AdWords Geek!

Editorial & Sponsored Sessions
Most sessions at SMX are "editorial" ones, where speakers have been selected based on the quality of their content. The session is organized by the SMX programming team. Editorial sessions do not have paid spots, no speaking slots are sold.
Sessions in Solutions Tracks are paid speaking slots. The content is produced by the sponsor. These sessions are open to those with All Access passes and those with Expo+ passes. Solution Spotlights are brief paid introductions given by sponsors and exhibitors.
Track Sponsors have their company associated with a particular track, in the way that sponsors also are associated with the entire show. However, Track Sponsors do not program a track or have editorial speaking slots on it. Similarly, show sponsors do not influence or control the overall editorial sessions.
