Some other tools/ideas that can guide a #SEO Specialist in your journey towards being more data-driven.

There are a lot of loanwords from #datascience in here!

Another thread again 🧡🧡
SQL and DBMS (Database Management System): the former is a language to perform queries on a database, the latter is a system to manage a database.

If you're tired of ""storing"" your data in unreliable Excel sheets then you're in the right place...
...Google BigQuery is one top-tier tool that you can explore for storage and for queries/calculations.

SQL is the most important technical data skill you can wish for!
Data Visualization: manipulating data and automation can be cool but you need visualization skills.

Spend some time to think about the best way to represent your data and how you can tell a story with them.

It seems easy, trust me, it is not!
Statistics: yes, you've read it right, Statistics. The nightmare of many students and one of the most tricky subjects on the planet...
...Fortunately, understanding the basics very well can get you far in #SEO and digital marketing, given that you acknowledge those scenarios where you admit you need someone more experienced!
Cloud solutions: if you are going to code something you'll face the hard truth of deploying models on cloud, such as AWS, Azure or GCP.

I recommend learning Google Cloud Platform (GCP) because, you know, as an #SEO you normally work with Google APIs.
Domain knowledge: this terms is much more frequent in #datascience and in the SEO world it's close to having the so-called business knowledge.

It doesn't matter actually, the important is to have an understanding of what you can expect from the data in a given domain.
Linguistics: #NLP and Knowledge Graphs are rooted in natural language, so studying some concepts can greatly improve the understanding of some algorithms.
I think that if you start learning a little bit of each you can have a different perspective on many tasks and/or strategies.

Being cross-disciplinary can make you more attractive in the job market as well!

Continuing in the wake of Semantic #SEO, today we talk about Knowledge Graphs, a very interesting topic that represents the intersection between graphs and SEO.

This is a Semantic SEO thread 🧡

#NLP #DataScience
A Knowledge Graph is a set of entities and relationships, that is all you need to know as an SEO Specialist to begin with.

Each entity can have attributes, namely characteristics/details.
Let's take a step back, what is a graph?

You can think of it as "a set of nodes/vertices and edges/links". Graphs are referred to "networks" as well.

The picture below displays an example of what is a graph.

Semantic SEO is definitely something to look out for, today I go through some of the most important concepts, namely the very basics.

Another thread for you 🧡

#SEO #NLP
Let's start by giving some low level definitions of some recurring terms, such as entities and topical maps.

We can say that this is the basis for what we are going to talk about.
An entity can be thought of as as a unique representation of something with a set of attributes.

In other words, the Queen band, for example, is an entity with some characteristics (attributes) like genres and events that help to define them.

There are some other skills you can use as an #SEO to find new ideas or to diversify your role.

They involve different fields where you can try to expand your knowledge and I think that some mixes can be quite interesting.

This is a thread 🧡
1. Coding: be it web development or any other form, coding can actually improve your logic and make you stronger in Tech SEO.

More and more jobs will probably integrate programming languages and knowing either Javascript or #Python3 can help you in getting started.
2. Data Analytics/Science: they don't involve coding alone, you have to know some mathematical/statistical concepts as well.

This is an interesting mix right now and could prove more invaluable in the next future.

Thread 🧡

A compilation of cool and useful ideas to leverage #Python for #SEO purposes. These are just some ideas on how to improve your workflow (automation) or to gather new insights in a smarter way

πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
1. Sitemap analysis: check content velocity and how much content your competitors have per section. You can also look for most common words in their URLs to have a high-level overview of what they post about
2. Broken link checker: pretty basic. Highly suggested when you need a lightweight function and don't want to launch Screaming Frog or other tools.

It's the most basic use in this list!
