Ben Davis says, “One of the most practical and inspiring talks at last week’s Brighton SEO came from Anita Valentinova, on the topic of using Python to automate SEO.

Valentinova is a senior SEO specialist at VistaPrint, a company that runs 21 websites with over 40,000 webpages.

Unsurprisingly, automation is an attractive prospect when working at that scale and though Valentinova is a relative newcomer to Python, she explained how excited she was to try out new scripts in her day-to-day role.

At a conference where artificial intelligence and voice search seemed to be the topics on everyone’s lips, I found Valentinova’s talk refreshing in its advocacy of just getting on and setting up some simple (ish) alerts to make your workflow more manageable.

What is Python?

Python is a very popular open-source computer programming language, supported by a large community of programmers. It has been used, amongst many other things, in natural language processing and as the main user language for the Raspberry Pi.

Python is one of the chief languages for scripts, but if, like me, you’ve only ever messed about with HTML and CSS”.
