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.

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!

The job market is tough right now.

That's why I wanted to talk with @nickleroy.com about the state of SEO jobs in 2025.

🤔How have job roles in the SEO industry changed?
🤖How has AI impacted the job market?
🤝What are key skills we should be learning right now?

The big reveal of my @brightonseo.com talk (drum roll please)

✨The future of content with zero clicks✨

Yes, I've picked a pretty darn big topic...

When I told @markwilliamscook.com my idea, he reacted with "Wow, that's a tough topic, mate. Good luck!"

No pressure then!😬

See you all in October!👋🏻

Au contraire mes amis.

The passing of Jordan Breen has hit me even harder than I thought.

Jordan was a huge inspiration on me and it's safe to say I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for him.

I'm a podcaster, and training for my first MMA fight right now because Jordan inspired me to try both 15+ years ago.
June 3, 2025 at 12:14 AM
Well, I've just submitted my first proper speaking pitch for @brightonseo.com in October 2025.

That's a perfectly normal thing to spontaneously do on a Sunday afternoon, right? 😅

Fingers crossed🤞🏻

Next week, I'll be hosting an all-star SEO panel of @chris-green.net, @dawnieando.bsky.social, @myriam.dopamine.builders & @jono.id to discuss tracking data from AI Overviews & AI Mode!

Does Google owe us this data?
Was this a mistake that they'll fix?
Do clicks & impressions even matter anymore?!
May 23, 2025 at 3:02 PM
What did you think of #GoogleIO? 🤔

@markwilliamscook.com & I will be breaking down AI Mode, agentic search and all of Google's important SEO updates and we want to hear from you 🫵

Share your thoughts, questions and #SEO hot takes in the comments below and we'll discuss them on the podcast ⬇️

This YouTube comment was left on a Search with Candour episode yesterday.

I've always seen it as:
@markwilliamscook.com is the one who knows what he's talking about.
I'm the one who makes occasional jokes.

I'll definitely be describing myself as "Professional with a splash of fun" now on though 😎

On today's Search with Candour, I learned that @gregfinn.bsky.social REALLY loves revenge.

Don't worry, we don't just talk about Reacher and revenge...I promise!

We also talk about what we think the next five years will look like for PPC, SEO & much more!

It's the fourth anniversary of the best DM I've ever received on LinkedIn.

Who would have thought that @sequelisers.bsky.social would lead to the best 4 years of my career so far?!

Thankfully, our differing opinions on Predator 2 haven't driven a wedge between @markwilliamscook.com & I...yet!

@simoncox.com & @yordan-dimitrov.com, you have started something scary on the Sequelisers Discord 😅

Is this the revenge for the years of Chad Kroeger comparisons?
