Dear BrightonSEO, You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby

Here’s my breakdown of September’s event and why I think it’s come a long way since its humble beginnings in a room above apub.

OK, I know what you’re thinking: The U.K. is not the first place you think of when it comes to the sun. But we got lucky and had great weather the whole time we were at BrightonSEO.

With the weather getting the event off to a good start, it put a smile on everyone’s face as soon as they arrived.

On Wednesday evening, before the main conference, we ran our first SEO workshop and networking event.

It was hosted at the Ye Olde King & Queen—a very British-looking pub built in1779.

The workshop was held in a room above a pub in true Brighton style. The room had a cozy ambiance for attendees to get together, talk shop, and grab someswag.

Michelle Lindner kicked the night off by warmly welcoming our guests and guiding them through a live demonstration on how to do keyword research for SEO using Ahrefs.

After Michelle’s demonstration, Joshua Hardwick took to the stage to guide us through a case study on how to build high-authority links that help boost rankings.

There was then time to network and mingle with other SEOs and digital enthusiasts over a few beers and a buffet.

Thank you to everyone who attended!
