🇺🇸 American in 🇬🇧 London update: 1. Seeking AC during the heatwave at a Nero & ending up freezing under the vent 🥵🥶 2. Always having a Google tab open for Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion 🌡️

At least 1x / day I hear something and think… what a great name for a band! Today’s: THE WHIP OF WIND It’s an all wind instrument ensemble playing post apocalyptic parade music. You can hear it, can’t you?! 🎷 🪈🎺

Great chat with the brilliant @brandauthority.club! Visibility is a byproduct of trust. Earn trust by being helpful over and over. Keep showing up. Keep helping.

Iva Jovanovic (@iva-jovanovic.com) believes that whether custom-coded or builder-based, clean code improves site performance, user experience, and how effectively your site is crawled and indexed. maj.to/3P8lHjF
A photo of Iva Jovanovic with the quote "I'm really advocating a custom-coded website that has clean code – or if you prefer using a builder, cleaning that up a bit will help boost your website performance, your user experience, and the way your website is indexed and crawled."

Erin Simmons (@erinasimmons.bsky.social) explains that users are increasingly encountering AI overviews or using tools like ChatGPT, which means the focus is shifting to what happens after that initial AI interaction in both clicks & subsequent searches. maj.to/3MhM59D
A photo of Erin Simmons with the quote "AI is becoming almost like the new front door, and users are increasingly being met with AI overviews or are maybe using ChatGPT or Perplexity. Where we’re seeing a change is in what happens after they have read through that: their click, and whatever their second search is."

Happy 6th birthday to all of us 🎂
Screenshot from Areej AbuAli's post on LinkedIn:

Women in Tech SEO turns 6 years old today!

What started as a passion project of mine, when I was struggling to feel a sense of belonging in our industry, has evolved into a community of over 10,000 members from around the world, connecting through our online groups and initiatives on a daily basis, and meeting in person at our conferences held in London, Berlin, Philadelphia, Portland, and Melbourne.

 & we do it all whilst maintaining The WTS Way: our values, rules, and code of conduct.

Thank you to every single community member, partner, sponsor, exhibitor, supplier, volunteer, speaker, author, mentor, and mentee — the list is endless. 

There would be no community without you all.

Thank you 🙏🏽
