The agentic era: how to optimise for AI agents, not just humans

Brighton, October 2025

This talk is suitable for anyone who understands the fundamentals of organic search and wants to look ahead. No AI expertise required - just an openness to thinking beyond traditional search engines. We’re all figuring this out together.


For years, SEOs have been told: “optimise for humans, not for bots.” But what happens when the “humans” are no longer the ones clicking? We’re entering the Agentic Era - where trusted AI agents don’t just answer, they act. They search, compare, book, and buy on behalf of your customers. These aren’t chatbots. They’re decision-makers. Trusted proxies. And soon, they’ll be the market. In this talk, Michael will explore how to be chosen by - and sell to - AI agents.
