  • Earthquake-resistant content strategies

    WordCamp Valencia 2025Speakers: Marie-Charlotte Pezé, pezé

    November 10, 2025 — The past few years have seen the grounds of web publishing and SEO standards shake hard and often. It’s been a huge challenge to keep up with Google updates and Ai engines. What my experience has taught me (and my dismal amount of trials and errors) is that the secret to keeping steady is to serve our readers first. However, building a solid content strategy is a very complex, multi-step endeavor that requires insight on our audience and business model, a lot of research, some technical knowledge, and a variety of tools. In this session I’d like to discuss how to figure out what our audience really wants, what search engines expect from us, and how to produce high quality content out of the equation. I will also broach the technological and cultural shifts that AI have brought to the scene in the past year, because the future is daunting, and we all need a good therapy session. I hope that my talk will help many content producers come to a better understanding of what they are facing, and how to come out of it successful. Estrategias de contenido resistentes a terremotos Durante los últimos años, los cimientos de la publicación web y los estándares de SEO se han visto sacudidos con fuerza y frecuencia. Ha sido un reto enorme mantenerse al día con las actualizaciones de Google y los motores de inteligencia artificial. Lo que mi experiencia me ha enseñado (y mis innumerables intentos y errores) es que el secreto para mantener la estabilidad es poner a nuestros lectores en primer lugar. Sin embargo, construir una estrategia de contenido sólida es una tarea muy compleja, que consta de múltiples pasos y requiere conocimiento profundo sobre nuestra audiencia y modelo de negocio, mucha investigación, algo de conocimiento técnico y una variedad de herramientas. En esta sesión, me gustaría hablar sobre cómo descubrir qué es lo que realmente quiere nuestra audiencia, qué esperan los motores de búsqueda de nosotros y cómo generar contenido de alta calidad a partir de esta ecuación. También abordaré los cambios tecnológicos y culturales que la IA ha traído consigo en el último año, porque el futuro puede ser desalentador, y todos necesitamos una buena sesión de terapia. Espero que mi charla ayude a muchos productores de contenido a comprender mejor los desafíos a los que se enfrentan y cómo superarlos con éxito.

  • Content strategies that make everybody happy

    WordCamp Europe 2025Speaker: Marie-Charlotte Pezé

    June 7, 2025 — I’ve had my share of difficult boyfriends, but none drove me to the brink of madness just as much as Google. Until I had an epiphany, and stopped trying to please a fickle algorithm to focus on something utterly revolutionary instead: fulfilling the needs of our readers. When you shift your mindset to producing high quality content, your audience uses it. Your commercial partners start to convert better. And your rankings and traffic naturally improve.

    In this session, I will share the complex editorial and SEO strategies that I learned the hard way. They require insight on your audience, a well-defined business model, a lot of research, a variety of tools, and last but not least, some skillful writing. Hopefully, after hearing me ramble for 30 minutes, you’ll have a better idea how to publish great content that succeeds with your readers, your partners, and the Gods of Google.
