The Future of SEO is Now!
Event Information
Description
SEO is responsible for driving 60% of all website traffic and with the rise and popularity of mobile voice search and voice command products rising, consumer behavior is changing rapidly.
According to Kantar Worldpanel, 2.7m households in the UK currently own an Amazon Echo or Google Home device and this rapid adoption means that brands need to ensure that they are embracing this change, tackling new technology challenges and exploiting gaps in the market where their competitors are lagging behind.
This is the first of our exclusively digital marketing focused events discussing on the Future of SEO, what is happening now in search, what the opportunities are and how brands need to ensure they are keeping up with change, tech and consumer behavior.

2018 - The Year that Everything and Nothing Changed – How Will Paid Search Fit In?
Robert runs the Business Coaching Growth program for Google Partners in the UK, Belgium and Romania and will be discussing how to make sense of the rapidly changing marketing environment we live in?
It seems that two types of marketer are emerging. Some are bamboozled with what appear to be massive threats (GDPR, AI, out-sourcing, Facebook vs Google vs traditional ads, the Amazon model, pure PPC vs full-service agencies), others see them as opportunities. Robert will be discussing how search marketing sits in this mix.
