Brighton SEO Conference – 7th April 2017
Our Comments
Brighton SEO April 2017 once again saw huge numbers of search marketing experts from all across the UK, and beyond, make their way down to the pebbled coast. This year the conference centred around the future of search and the impact voice, AI and cameras could potentially have. It also hosted a multitude of expert speakers, with standouts including:
Rak Nijjer
Purna Virji
Greg Gifford
Ned Poulter
Rory Sutherland
Reiterating what was brought up in Brighton SEO 2016 (voice search was predicted to soon become the norm), it was apparent from the start of the conference that voice search was still very much expected to continue to grow. In fact, 50% of searches were said to be voice searches by the year 2020.
We were also intrigued by the prospect of growing camera search in the future. No keywords necessary. The example given in the conference was a house. Could it be possible that one day we could hold up our camera and see how much a particular home is worth? In summary, for the future of the retail industry – ‘the world is your showroom; everyone is your models’. – Purna Virji.
We can’t wait.
