brightonSEO April 2025

This talk is suitable for people across the content marketing and SEOscape at almost any level - we'll go into some detail but there will be no knowledge assumed.


Akash will be talking about how users are gaining more of a conscious knowledge of what SEO is, or perhaps what SEO was.

Akash will cover some amusing user perspectives as well as some of the pain points that the generic user might have and how this links to user generated content and recent Google partnerships.
