Hi there 👋,
Last week I found out I'll be speaking at BrightonSEO in October. This will not only be my first time speaking there, but first time attending too! Thrilled - see you there! 🎉 🙌
My Post of the Week is a slide deck surprisingly - and I wasn't even there to take it all in. However, it's 186 slides for Google Sheets of SEO goodies by Tom Pool. He walks you through various functions to take care of common SEO tasks, as well as tracking spreadsheet views in GA (which I had no idea you could do!) 🔥
Until next week!
