Zero Click SEO

How to prove SEO works when it no longer drives traffic

Brighton, Spring 2026

Up and to the right!' This familiar old refrain of Search marketing is becoming heard less and less often. As Google saturates the SERPs with AI Overviews, aggressive ad placements, and instant answers, the traditional click is becoming an endangered species. But does fewer clicks mean SEO is dead? Nope. It just means we need a better scoreboard.

In this session, Anything is Possible's Jack Lingard will dismantle the traffic-exclusive mindset and explore the necessary evolution of measurement. Diving into the quantification of brand visibility in a zero-click world, Jack will look at how to track influence within AI responses, and prove that your strategy is driving revenue... even if users never leave the search results. This is your guide to maintaining budget and buy-in during the biggest shift in Search history.

Key Takeaways
1. Ditch the "Traffic-Only" Tunnel Vision: Ditch the traffic-only tunnel vision and learn which new-age metrics actually measure impact and track with meaningful customer behaviours in a zero-click ecosystem (...and which vanity metrics you need to retire immediately).

2. Reveal the invisible influence and how to track and attribute value from AI Overviews and SERP features that users consume without clicking.

3Future-Proof Your Reporting: Walk away with a future-proofed reporting and communication framework to convince skeptical stakeholders that SEO is winning, even when GA4 traffic looks flat.

How low can organic go

Brighton, Spring 2026

In this talk Tom will use pixel height data across a large corpus of search results to analyse how organic results and other features are getting a chance to shine - or not - across different intents and verticals.

He'll cover what marketers can do tactically to maximise their SERP real estate - as well as their rank - through use of structured data & rich results, careful keyword research, and inclusion SERP features beyond just regular organic.

Lastly he'll talk about what this means for measurement, and how a focus on visibility and share of space brings SEO closer to traditional brand marketing, at the same time as AI is pushing us in that same direction.
