to the fuckin’ right all the time #1
Things CAN get better #2

Shit
This is meant to be about digital marketing right?
Let’s talk about some stuff then
When do you need a comeback in SEO?
• Failed site migration When do you need a comeback
in SEO?
• Failed site migration • Google Algorithm update When do
you need a comeback in SEO?
• Failed site migration • Google Algorithm update • Failed
domain merging When do you need a comeback in SEO?
• Failed site migration • Google Algorithm update • Failed
domain merging • Google penalty When do you need a comeback in SEO?
Might be your fault – probs not though, right?
Sometimes it is
None
Fuck it. Still needs fixing
What do they look like?

Still not there…
The Double Whammy
The “In Your Bed, Bad Dog” Penalty
Bloody People Who Think They Know What They’re Talking About…
Nobody sets out to ruin stuff in our business (mostly…)
But people do ruin SEO, organic traffic and revenue
Wildly stepping in with demands when they don’t have the
nuance Stakeholders can be like film producers
In they come, make demands, break shit, and then run
with their money Flown in consultants can be like the egotistical actor
A date is set and off you go — doesn’t
matter if it’s ready or not. They want it now Impatient business owners can be like the movie studio who set an arbitrary release date
You’ve got the answers right, Wayne?
Nah.
Sorry.
Thank you.
…Like that’s the end
"Hang on a minute, lads. I've got a great idea…"
”Blimey!”
I often show tools you can use in my presentations
The most important tool for this shit is your brain
noggin
The other tools are necessary, but… The most important tool
for this shit is your brain noggin
The other tools are necessary, but… The most important tool
for this shit is your brain noggin Data is nothing without your ability to understand it
None
I’ll still give you a list of tools we use
though. But tips first
You gotta apply critical thinkin’
You gotta drop the ego
You gotta work with everyone
And that might mean convincing them to work with you
You gotta work with everyone
Working with checklists will NOT bring sites back from the
dead
This needs you to dig deep
Often in different places each time This needs you to
dig deep
This is not sticking plaster stuff
Be forward thinking – skate where you think the puck
is going
Learn the language of the people that you need to
convince to get this shit fixed
So how does this end?

Common ending tropes found in films https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EndingTropes
Awesome Moment of Crowning Yay! Story ends with character being
crowned ruler of the land they just saved.
Bookends Boo! The story ends the same way it begins
Dance Party Ending Yay! The story ends with everyone dancing
Destroy the Evidence Boo! Someone who seems not to be
directly involved in a crime destroys or hides some evidence relating to it
The Good Guys Always Win Yay! The heroes always succeed
in defeating the bad guys
Or…
All Just a Dream Erm. It happens. It turns out
the whole story was just the protagonist's dream
Choose your own adventure my friends
Thank you.
