August meetups: job board owners and SEOs

I met some cool people this month in Scotland. I had a pub lunch in Edinburgh with two job board owners: Lior from Remote Rocketship and Phil from 4dayweek.

We actually met at the same place last year and it was great to hear how each other's businesses were going. We swapped SEO tips and talked about the challenges and opportunities in the job board space. We also went over my LinkedIn and X/Twitter ghostwriting pages and the guys gave some good advice on improving conversions.

Fast forward to last week, and I was through in Glasgow for the first SEO Gathering meetup at the Skyscanner offices. A big thanks to Andrew Bond and Scott Wood for giving great talks about SEO. I came away with lots of ideas to grow my High Signal newsletter for entrepreneurs more and now I'm offering SEO services, it was good to meet other SEOs in Scotland.

I would love for more companies in Scotland to organise meetups. Startups that have access to office space are in a great position to organise events. It more or less guarantees that there will be a bigger meetup if a few staff members are involved.
