Conversation starters for seo's at brightonseo

By Matt Tutt

THE AWKWARD FIRST INTRODUCTIOn

01

The LinkedIn Avoider

Oh hey yeah I know you! I tried connecting on LinkedIn a while ago but you ignored me. Bastard.

The Covid-Safe Self Promoter

Be the talk of the town (Brighton) with your very own Covid-modified mask! The ultimate SEO flex and sure to spark a LOT of conversations ("you're the best!", etc).

The "Lad" (or "Ladette")?

Think someone's a bit of a lad but you're not quite sure? Go out on a limb with the 100% failsafe: "Did you see that ludicrous display by Arsenal last night?"

ELEVATING SMALL TALK TO MEDIUM TALK

02

That Old Chestnut!

"Subdomains are just so shit right? LOL". Note - don't forget to say the "LOL" for full impact here.

The Philosophical One

Yes but... has anyone ever actually SPOKEN to a web developer?....

THE DIGITAL PR

03

The Outreach Process

Share your outreach process and discuss the finer details, we're all friends here. Admit how you stand in front of the mirror and admire your content before hitting that send button.

The Exaggerator

We all like to exaggerate a bit when we're telling stories of the links we land. See how far you can go - DA50? DA70? BBC.com or TheGuardian.com? The choice is yours...

THE NUCLEAR OPTIONS

04

THE GIVER OF LIFE (OR FREE WIFI)

Struggling with these conversation prompts? If you don't know anyone at the event, why not setup a WiFi hotspot named (meet me outside NOW) and wait outside the building - you'll be sure to pick up lots of friends (and free WiFi vultures).

ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE

Ping @staceycav on Twitter if you're going and you'd like a friendly face or two to chat with - it's understandable to be nervous as a first (or second!) timer! :) https://twitter.com/staceycav/status/1433404512979521537
