"brilliantly actionable" is exactly what I was aiming for with my talk!

A promotional image for two talks at brightonSEO in October 2025. It features a blurry, black and white background with the words 'Choose your speaker' in a pixelated font at the top. The two speakers, Erin Simmons and Jack Chambers-Ward, are in full colour and stand shoulder to shoulder making mean faces at the camera. Below them, text reads 'Erin vs Jack', using the VS from Street Fighter IV. The text box at the bottom of the image reads "brightonSEO, Thursday 23 Oct 2025, @ 15:20"

Jack Chambers-Ward (@jlwchambers.bsky.social) explains that you should create content that you'd genuinely enjoy as a reader yourself, saying that if it doesn't engage you, it won't engage others.

I don't know how many people notice that every Core Updates newsletter @jlwchambers.bsky.social (or me, very rarely) writes the titles for the SEO tips with a reference to some film, series, pop-culture or something.

I heard today's references play in my head before I got it 🎸😆
An infographic from the agency Candour, titled "'Keyword' Research for AI". The image displays a flow chart: An icon of a person on a laptop, with the text "People are having full conversations with LLMs". An arrow points to an AI logo (a universal intent decoder). Another arrow points to text that reads, "LLMs are deciding what searches to do, with relative parity". A final arrow points to the Google logo. Below the diagram, a highlighted sentence says, "Forfeit the game, before somebody takes SEO out of the frame". The accompanying text explains that in the AI era, Large Language Models (LLMs) decode the intent from user conversations and then determine what "traditional" searches to perform.

@jlwchambers.bsky.social from @withcandour.co.uk and I had a marvelous chat about SEO, Structured Data, and the evolution of the WWW (Jack's an end-boss host 🍻).

2 dudes hanging out, talking about tons of cool but also some heavy stuff, and ending with people.

Earlier this year, I stepped on stage at @brightonseo.com for the first time when I moderated the second biggest auditorium...

In October, I'll be making my proper #brightonSEO debut with my own talk - The future of content with zero clicks.

See you there: brightonseo.com/register

I'm the proud owner of a #SEOCharity t-shirt!

In case you don't know SEO Charity, @antonshulke.bsky.social raises funds via live streams & conferences with the proceeds going to animal shelters in Ukraine.

Shout out @eminadw.bsky.social for giving me the last little nudge to finally contribute!

I can hardly believe it's been four years of me working at @withcandour.co.uk.

I'm very lucky to work with some the smartest, kindest & most inspiring people I've ever met.

It's been a hell of a year and I'm already looking forward to celebrating my fifth Candourversary next year!
A black and white collage features five images with a thick pink border. The top left image shows a man with short, curly hair and glasses, wearing a dark t-shirt. He is smiling and looking towards the camera. The image is cropped to his chest and head. The top right image shows four framed pictures hanging on a wall. The first frame on the left has text that reads "/ˈkandər/ the quality of being open and honest; frankness. Candour." The middle right image shows a man and a woman sitting in armchairs, facing each other, with microphones in front of them, suggesting a podcast recording or interview. They are in a room with bookshelves and plants in the background. The bottom left image shows a man standing at a podium with a microphone, gesturing with his hands as if giving a presentation. There's a laptop and water bottle on a table next to him. The bottom right image shows two men working at desks in an office environment. One man is looking at a computer screen and appears to be on a call, while the other is looking at his keyboard. There are multiple monitors, keyboards, and office plants on the desks.
