SEO Has a Measurement Crisis (And Nobody Wants to Admit It)

Brighton, Spring 2026

In this talk, James will explore why SEO measurement is becoming increasingly difficult as modern search results absorb more clicks and fragment user journeys.

He will explain why rankings and traffic are becoming less reliable indicators of SEO’s real influence, and why many teams are struggling to explain performance internally.

The session introduces a practical way to think about SEO impact beyond clicks and offers ideas for how teams can adapt their reporting and stakeholder conversations.
