EVENT SUMMARY

If you’re already investing in content marketing but haven’t seen real results from SEO—or haven’t tried it at all—this talk is for you. SEO today isn’t about gaming the algorithm or writing dry, keyword-stuffed blog posts. It’s about making sure your best content gets discovered by the right people, at the exact moment they’re searching for solutions like yours.

In this session, content strategist and SEO consultant Olivia Barrow will show you how to integrate modern SEO best practices into your existing content workflows—even if you only publish one article a month. You’ll learn how to validate your content ideas with keyword research, create articles that match search intent, and optimize posts so they rank better in search without sacrificing clarity or credibility.

This is not a technical SEO workshop—it’s a practical, approachable framework for small marketing teams that want to get more ROI from content they’re already creating. Whether you’ve had disappointing SEO results in the past or have never touched it, you’ll leave with a clear, actionable process for increasing your visibility and establishing your brand as a trusted authority in your industry.


KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why traditional “SEO content” no longer works—and what to do instead
  • How to layer SEO onto a content strategy focused on thought leadership and trust
  • A simple keyword research method for validating blog topics
  • How to structure and optimize articles to match search intent & reader knowledge level
  • How to tap into internal expertise to add original insights to your content
  • When and how to use GenAI to enhance your content
  • How to get started even if your site has technical issues or past content that’s not optimized
