Post of the Week
I am so sorry! I haven't posted in three weeks or so because I've been on some mega time eating projects in my full time role. I've also recently noticed some of you guys have been emailing me, and I've only just checked my inbox (Doh!) - I promise to reply in future 🤞
This week's curated posts shall not disappoint. It's a mix of some awesome new tools I've discovered, as well as some interesting stuff you may not have seen before.
In addition to all that, Google I/O, the yearly developers conference, starts tomorrow and Google has put together a handy guide to the sessions most relevant to SEOs; our Post of the Week. Enjoy!
