What would BrightonSEO be without the Twitter buzz?
As usual, last week’s event was documented on SEO Twitter, with tips, opinions, and useful tweets from the Twittersphere as it happened in real-time.
We’ve selected 23 of the best tweets from summer’s BrightonSEO, from the most useful and interesting to the weirdest and the funniest. Enjoy!

Raise your hand if you've been to more virtual #BrightonSEO conferences than in-person events 🙋
— ChloEEEK Ivy Rose 👻 (@chloeivyroseseo) July 22, 2021
Who else has been to more virtual conferences than in-person ones? COVID put a dampener on real-life SEO fun, but we haven’t let it stop us in the last 18 months!

@BillieGeena's amazing recommendations on building a good relationship with developers:
– give examples
– explain how issue affects site
– be clear & informed when suggesting an action
– if idea's turned down ask why (might help u find a better suggestion next time) #BrightonSEO— Laura Green (@GreenLauraV) July 22, 2021
So much knowledge, from practical and actionable top tips on SEO-developer relationships from Billie Geena…

In case you missed my @brightonseo diversity & inclusion talk yesterday, & had wondered what my brilliant friend Reji means by this slide – watch/read this short clip.
There are far too many talented POC people in this industry who are going unnoticed. Amplify them!#BrightonSEO https://t.co/YuM9c0ygfU pic.twitter.com/h7b7p0yJdQ

Today's #BrightonSEO talks have been outstanding – I've taken away something valuable from every single one that I've tuned into. We're lucky to work in an industry that really prioritises knowledge sharing💡
V much looking forward to tomorrow's schedule too😎
— Katie Mishner (@mishner) July 22, 2021
More speaker support from a supportive industry. Lots of actionable value from this summer’s conference!
#14
"Automation isn't there to do link building for us, it's there to help us." Yes, @Tilly_Haines! If it can help carry the load, e.g. merge our hours of personalisation for journos into our press releases, why wouldn't we use it? #brightonSEO
— Laura Slingo (@LauraSlingo) July 22, 2021
Special shout-out to Tilly for an amazing talk—thanks to everyone who managed to attend! Great to watch her chatting automation, AI, and agencies with the expert Q&A panel on Thursday afternoon —the Seeker team were listening in and cheering her on in the office!
#15
Why is it called E.A.T? Because it's American! 😏
T.E.A would have been much better…☕️
Spilling the T in EAT- How to easily build user trust with simple CRO/UX tweaks…@LordOfTheSERPs explains all! #BrightonSEO pic.twitter.com/QHcKr38U9U— Andy Simpson (@ndyjsimpson) July 22, 2021
We have to agree with this one, T-E-A would be a much better acronym!

It’s finally over! I was absolutely terrified in all honesty & wish I’d included more in hindsight, but I’m proud of myself for having done @brightonseo.
