Cardiff SEO Meet

In early 2016 I announced a brand new, dedicated SEO meetup in South Wales: Cardiff SEO Meet.

It takes place every 2 months on Thursdays evenings.

Find out more on our website and our Meetup group, including info about past and upcoming events. Also please feel free to follow us on Twitter (@CardiffSEOMeet) and check out the event’s hashtag (#CardiffSEO).

Event archive – videos & slides

Missed an event or want to watch it back? I Periscope every talk and (sometimes) get given the slide deck links after the event. Here’s a handy list of videos/slides for all the events to date…

Important note: this is just for the first 10 events, as – now we have a fancy new website – the event archive is kept up-to-date on there instead. Info on the 11th event onwards is posted on there instead (as well as the first 10 events).

* This is an edited version of the slides, not the full/original version that was aired during the talk. Also, as of typing this, the video has been made unavailable at the request of Nick’s client (given it was an in-depth case study about them). If the situation changes, I’ll re-add it.
