SEO is widely recognised as a fundamental part of any digital marketer's arsenal, yet it still remains elusive and misunderstood by many marketers who still follow SEO techniques from the 90's.

This session is very interactive and will give attendees a chance to ask questions about their own SEO campaigns.
