How to Leverage Offline Events for Link Building

Posted by allen.yesilevich

Link building is all about creating strong, reputable relationships online — but what if you took offline strategies and applied it to building your brand online? No matter the size of your company, hosting, speaking at, or attending an event is a valuable tool for bulking up your backlinks while giving your brand industry exposure.

Every stage of the event process, from promotion and beyond, provides valuable opportunities for acquiring backlinks. The trick is to apply the correct strategy. Whether you’re sharing your event on an event listing site, reaching out to influencers to spread the word, or publishing event-specific content, leveraging your face-to-face marketing efforts to gain more backlinks will help your business — no matter its size — become more visible.

Prior to the Event

Before you set out on your link-building journey, you need to establish what pages and domains you want others to share. For an event, a dedicated landing page on your website that lists key details and invites people to register is the best place to drive potential attendees. It's also easy to share for promotion.

Event sites

Once you have your pages and domains set up, you can take that page to event listing sites, which offer easy link opportunities. The location of your event will determine where you choose to post. For instance, if you’re hosting a small event, region-specific event sites will earn you links that increase your visibility in local search results. 

If you’re hosting a larger event with a national or global draw, Eventful or Meetup are two sites that will link out directly to your event page. As an added bonus, some larger sites will get scraped by other sources, meaning you could potentially get multiple links from one post.

Connect with influencers

Connecting with bloggers in your industry and asking them to share your event details with their followers is another way to gain links. 

Before you reach out, do some research to see what types of bloggers and influencers are best suited for this; you want to make sure the backlinks you receive are valuable, from credible sites that will help you build authority and enhance your organic search visibility. While it may be more difficult to obtain links from the experts in your industry who have higher domain authorities, they'll be the most beneficial for brand building.

Once you establish your list of target industry bloggers, reach out and explain why your event is relevant to their audience and why sharing or posting about it would add value to their content. 

A big mistake people often make is expecting content without contributing anything in return. Would you show up to a potluck without a dish and eat all of the food? Consider offering an incentive, like an opportunity for cross-site promotion so that the partnership isn’t just transactional, but mutually beneficial. Not only will this help you acquire a new link, but it will also help you get more exposure to people in your target market that you may not have been able to reach previously.

During the Event

Whether your company is hosting an event or someone from your team is speaking at one, there are many opportunities to support your site’s link building efforts. Attendees can have a positive effect on your organization’s backlink profile. As the old saying goes, if you didn't post about it, were you even there? Professionals and brands alike love sharing thought leadership insights and event recaps in the form of blogs and social posts. When they do, there's a good chance they'll be sharing a link to your company's site.

Write about it

Even if you’re only attending an event, there are link building opportunities to take advantage of. Post daily blogs highlighting the key takeaways from that day's sessions or share your take on a memorable keynote. Event-specific content has a good chance of making its way to and being shared by the speakers, event host, other attendees, and your team back at the office.

"Consider offering an incentive, like an opportunity for cross-site promotion so that the partnership isn’t just transactional, but mutually beneficial."

To increase your chances of getting your content out in front of the right people, share it in a quick email or LinkedIn message to a presenter or marketing lead from the company hosting the event. Of course, you should always share your post on your own and your company’s social media channels and tag the relevant players. The hope is that, by being included and getting free publicity, these high-quality sources will feel inclined to share your content

Network, network, network

While posting about events can help you get links, you should also focus on building long-term relationships with other leaders in your industry. There is no better time to do this than when at an event. In fact, 81 percent of event-goers say they attend events for networking opportunities. If you're networking, you can set yourself up well to establish future linking partnerships with sites in similar or complementing industries.

After the Event

You can still acquire backlinks from your offline event after you’ve headed back to work. Some of the best link building opportunities have yet to come.

Follow up with email

If you spoke at an event, you can nurture the people who attended your session through email and send them relevant information. Setting up a landing page on your site with downloadable slides from your presentation can easily be shared and linked. If they haven't done so already, see if your contacts are willing to share their event experience on their blog and social pages. This will give you crowdsourced content with valuable backlinks.

Track your efforts

It's important to track your backlinks using social listening tools after the event. If you feel the linking sites could offer synergies, either for content or business purposes, reach out to discuss mutually-beneficial partnerships.

Remember, all the hard work you put in now will pay off in the future, too. Consistently acquiring backlinks has a snowball effect and will increase both your ranking positioning and attendee turnout for future events.

Wrapping up

One of the best link-building strategies you can leverage is your real-life relationships. What are some ways you've transformed an in-life connection into a valuable, digital backlink?

Supervisa tus datos estructurados con Search Console

En nuestra entrada anterior sobre datos estructurados, hablamos acerca de qué son y de por qué debes añadirlos a tu sitio web. Nuestro objetivo es fomentar el uso de datos estructurados y mejorar tanto nuestras herramientas como las funciones relacionadas de la Búsqueda. Por esta razón, hemos creado soluciones que ayudan a los webmasters y desarrolladores a implementar y diagnosticar datos estructurados.

Esta entrada se centra en las funciones de Search Console que te pueden servir para supervisar y aprovechar al máximo los datos estructurados de tu sitio web. Además, contamos con varias funciones nuevas que te podrán servir de gran ayuda y que te indicamos y explicamos más abajo.
  1. El nuevo informe de datos estructurados que no se pueden analizar muestra los errores de sintaxis de los datos estructurados.
  2. Los últimos informes de mejora del cuadro de búsqueda de enlaces de sitios web y de logotipos.

Supervisar el rendimiento general de los datos estructurados

Cada vez que Search Console detecta un problema de datos estructurados en un sitio web, enviamos un correo electrónico a los propietarios de la cuenta correspondiente. Sin embargo, no se enviará ninguna notificación en el caso de que un problema empeore, por lo que es importante que compruebes tu cuenta de vez en cuando.

No hace falta que lo hagas cada día, pero sí te recomendamos que la compruebes de vez en cuando para asegurarte de que todo funciona correctamente. Si el desarrollo de tu sitio web tiene ciclos definidos y quieres supervisar su rendimiento, te recomendamos que inicies sesión en Search Console una vez que hagas cambios en el sitio web.

Si quieres tener una idea general de todos los errores que presente una función de datos estructurados concreta, ve al menú Mejoras de la barra lateral izquierda y haz clic en la función que quieras. Al hacerlo, verás un resumen de todos sus errores y advertencias, así como de sus elementos válidos.

Tal como ya mencionamos, hemos añadido un nuevo conjunto de informes para ayudarte a entender más tipos de datos estructurados de tu sitio web: los informes del cuadro de búsqueda de enlaces de sitios web y los de logotipos. Estos informes se unen a los que ya había antes, por ejemplo, los de recetas, los de eventos o los de ofertas de empleo. Puedes obtener más información sobre ellos en el Centro de Ayuda de Search Console.

A continuación, te mostramos un ejemplo del informe de mejoras. Ten en cuenta que solo podrás ver las mejoras que se han detectado en tus páginas. Este informe te ayuda a hacer lo siguiente:
  • Revisar las tendencias de errores, advertencias y elementos válidos: si quieres ver cada estado por separado, haz clic en las casillas de colores que hay encima del gráfico de barras.
  • Revisar advertencias y errores por páginas: si quieres ver ejemplos de las páginas afectadas por esos problemas, haz clic en una de las filas que hay debajo del gráfico de barras.
Imagen: Informe de mejoras sobre páginas de recetas


Por fin podemos anunciar el lanzamiento del informe de datos estructurados que no se pueden analizar, en el que se incluyen problemas de análisis como, por ejemplo, errores de sintaxis de los datos estructurados que impedían que Google identificara el tipo de función. Es por eso que hemos incluido este tipo de problemas en este informe, en lugar de crear uno específico para cada función.

Comprueba este informe para ver si Google ha tenido problemas al analizar los datos estructurados que has intentado añadir a tu sitio web. Los errores de análisis pueden provocar que pierdas oportunidades de que se incluyan resultados enriquecidos de tu sitio web. A continuación se muestra una imagen en la que puedes ver la interfaz de este informe. Puedes acceder directamente al informe y consultar más información sobre el mismo en nuestro Centro de Ayuda.

Imagen: Informe de datos estructurados que no se pueden analizar.


Probar datos estructurados a nivel de URL

Con la herramienta de inspección de URL puedes asegurarte de que tus páginas se han procesado correctamente y de que aparecen como resultados enriquecidos, así como hacer un diagnóstico de los motivos por los que hay alguna URL que no se muestra como resultado enriquecido. Esta herramienta te ayuda a entender las áreas que puedes mejorar a nivel de URL y a saber en qué debes centrarte.

Cuando pegas URL en el cuadro de búsqueda de la parte superior de Search Console, puedes ver en la sección de mejoras si hay advertencias o errores relacionados con los datos estructurados o qué funciona correctamente, como aparece en el ejemplo sobre recetas de la siguiente imagen.

Imagen: Herramienta de inspección de URL.


En la captura de pantalla anterior se muestra que hay un error en las páginas de recetas. Si haces clic en él, podrás ver más información relacionada. Haz clic en el icono del gráfico que hay a la izquierda del error para consultar más detalles.

Una vez que hayas entendido el error y lo hayas corregido, haz clic en el botón Validar corrección, que puedes ver en la siguiente imagen, para que Google pueda validar si el problema se ha resuelto correctamente. Al hacer clic en esta opción, Google ejecutará varias pruebas al momento; si tu página no las supera, Search Console te lo notificará de inmediato. De lo contrario, se volverán a rastrear las demás páginas afectadas.

Imagen: Detalles de un error de datos estructurados.

Nos gustaría saber cómo te ha ayudado Search Console con los datos estructurados y cómo podemos seguir haciéndolo. Envíanos tus comentarios a través de Twitter o del foro para Webmasters.

20 Years in Search & I Don't Trust My Gut or Google

Don't they all deserve to get these insights? It required him to dig into the long tail, deep. To use big data and see PPC data as insights, not just marketing.

What would your reaction be if you were told that Google's "bad click" business could be generating as much annually as Starbucks or McDonalds?

Running Your Own SEO Tests: Why It Matters & How to Do It Right

Rob Ousbey, Distilled

Google's algorithms have undergone significant changes in recent years. Traditional ranking signals don't hold the same sway they used to, and they're being usurped by factors like UX and brand that are becoming more important than ever before. What's an SEO to do?

The answer lies in testing.

Sharing original data and results from clients, Rob will highlight the necessity of testing, learning, and iterating your work, from traditional UX testing to weighing the impact of technical SEO changes, tweaking on-page elements, and changing up content on key pages.

Enriquece los resultados de búsqueda con datos estructurados

Hace años que recomendamos aplicar datos estructurados a sitios web para enriquecer los resultados de búsqueda. Si añades etiquetas al contenido, los motores de búsqueda pueden identificar mejor los distintos componentes de una página. De esta forma, los sistemas de Google interpretan mejor tu página, por lo que su contenido puede aparecer en la Búsqueda de Google con funciones interesantes que pueden mejorar la experiencia de usuario y atraer más tráfico a tu sitio web (y que a continuación enumeraremos).

Uno de nuestros objetivos ha sido ofrecerte herramientas que te ayuden a entender cómo se muestran tus sitios web en los resultados de la Búsqueda de Google y te avisen si surge algún problema que debas corregir. Para darte una perspectiva más completa sobre los datos estructurados, hemos decidido hacer una serie de entradas para explicarlos. En esta hacemos una breve introducción y mencionamos algunas de las prácticas recomendadas, mientras que, en otras que publicaremos próximamente, explicaremos cómo utilizar los datos estructurados de forma óptima en Search Console.

¿Qué son los datos estructurados?

Los datos estructurados son una forma que suele emplearse para ofrecer información sobre una página y sobre su contenido, por ejemplo, mediante el vocabulario de schema.org. Google admite tres formatos distintos de etiquetas en páginas: JSON‑LD (la opción recomendada), microdatos y RDFa. Cada función de búsqueda requiere distintos tipos de datos estructurados, tal como se explica en la galería de Búsqueda. Además, en la documentación para desarrolladores aparecen descritas las nociones básicas de los datos estructurados.

Los datos estructurados ayudan a que los sistemas de Google identifiquen el contenido de tus páginas de un modo más preciso, lo que a su vez permite que los usuarios encuentren resultados más relevantes. Si implementas datos estructurados, tus páginas tienen más probabilidades de mostrarse con una apariencia mejorada en los resultados de búsqueda de Google.
Aviso: aunque tu página esté etiquetada correctamente, Google no garantiza que los datos estructurados se muestren en los resultados de búsqueda. Al usar datos estructurados simplemente se permite que una función esté disponible, pero no se garantiza que vaya a aparecer. Más información sobre las directrices de datos estructurados.

Los sitios web que usan datos estructurados obtienen mejores resultados

Con el tiempo, el uso de los datos estructurados ha ido creciendo en el ecosistema de la Web. En general, los resultados enriquecidos ayudan a los usuarios a identificar cuáles de tus páginas son más relevantes para sus búsquedas, algo que también beneficia a los sitios web. A continuación, mencionamos algunos casos de éxito destacados:
  • Eventbrite aprovechó datos estructurados de eventos para conseguir un aumento del 100 % en el crecimiento interanual promedio del tráfico que procede de la Búsqueda.
  • Jobrapido integró datos estructurados de empleo en la Búsqueda de Google y obtuvo un aumento del 115 % en el tráfico orgánico y del 270 % en los registros de nuevos usuarios procedentes de este tráfico, así como una reducción del 15 % en el porcentaje de rebote de los usuarios de Google que visitaban páginas de empleo.
  • Rakuten implementó datos estructurados de recetas y logró un aumento del 270 % en el tráfico procedente de buscadores y del 150 % en la duración de las sesiones.

¿Cómo se usan los datos estructurados?
