Melissa Sciorra knows how to travel right. One of her most recent tweets(@mel_arriocs) was all about “if you fall into the nervous traveler camp, the right gear and prep can tone down your anxiety and bring some much needed relief. #travelstress #traveltips” She’s the perfect person to be giving this advice considering she is the Senior Manager SEO for SmarterTravel, a TripAdvisor company.

This is clearly a content marketing specialist who knows the ins and outs of the business. That’s why she will lead two separate workshops. One is a MasterClass on Content Strategy which is three hours long and takes place on April 21 at 9 am. Her partner in this MasterClass is none other than our fearless leader, Byron White, who is the chair and founder of the conference.
The other one is a lecture presentation on Advanced SEO: Competitive Intelligence, Modern Scraping and More on April 22nd at 3 pm, which will last for 40 minutes. Both promise to be informative looks into how to craft excellent content that caters to a brand’s SEO needs.
Some of the tips and tricks that Melissa will explore are how to find tools to organize topics, titles, and tags, using XPath and Screaming Frog Web Crawler, and an insider’s look at the most updated tools for spot-on SEO that delivers results.
Some of Melissa’s Achievements
Some of Melissa’s most important accomplishments in her career include a nomination for SEMPRO’s Industry MVP. She has also won both PR’s Daily Digital and News Awards for Best SEO.
