🚨Breaking news🚨
SEO is not dead. It's evolving.

Manuel Madeddu joined me on this week's Search with Candour to discuss how web performance, Core Web Vitals and SEO itself are changing in 2025.

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"

Good news: I'm speaking at @brightonseo.com in 2 weeks!

Bad news: My talk clashes with @erinasimmons.bsky.social's talk!

So, you have a decision to make...

✍️Join me in Auditorium 1 to learn about zero-click content strategies

YouTube video by Candour Agency Client Updates AI Search #3 - Dangers of AI Search

Do you know how AI could harm your brand or your customers? At @withcandour.co.uk , we've been sending short videos to all our clients to help them orientate themselves with AI Search. I thought I'd share our latest one about the dangers of AI, enjoy! 🤓

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.

Thanks so much mate.

I'll have to rewatch Predator 2 now that I'm 35 and see if I appreciate it more in my old age.

Big happy birthday to partner in podcast crime @jlwchambers.bsky.social 🎂

(Predator 2 is still a great film, I hope you will see this with age)

Keeping up with traditions, @sarahmcduk.bsky.social, Tazmin & @jlwchambers.bsky.social are hosting the live podcast recording of #TheSEOMindset @withcandour.co.uk on the eve of @brightonseo.com 🇬🇧 in October!

It’s the perfect way to meet new people, exchange ideas and learn something new!

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.

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 🎸😆

We're looking forward to the talk @jlwchambers.bsky.social is preparing for #brightonSEO UK in October.

In "The future of content with zero clicks", Jack will provide practical advice and strategies to help content creators survive the seismic shifts in search.

YouTube video by Candour Agency How Structured Data & Schema Work for AI Search with Jarno van Driel

@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.

Some of you may have noticed, we’ve been working on a big update to our own site.

And now...🥁

🎉We're very proud to reveal the brand new withcandour.co.uk🎉

Designed, made and optimised by our own fair hands.

Four of my favourite people I've met in SEO all on the same show?!

Sign me up!

A few weeks back, I had the pleasure of chatting with @jlwchambers.bsky.social on Search With @withcandour.co.uk podcast on all things B2B content SEO.

A photo of Jack Chambers-Ward, a white man with a beard, glasses and brown curly hair, is framed by a blue frame. The frame reads 'I'm speaking at BrightonSEO 23 & 24 October 2025'

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

A smiling man with a beard and glasses wears an orange t-shirt with a large illustration of a black cat with blue and yellow floral patterns. He is pointing down to the text on the shirt, which reads "seocharity.com".

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!

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.

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!

"It's not you, it's us. We're quite good at this though, so it's probably you".

The new 404 page did tickle me 😅 @withcandour.co.uk

Your best is THE best 💪🏻

Salary transparency is also disappearing with SEO jobs.

Meanwhile everyone's trying to figure out this AI thing.

On live TV, yes.

There have been some that have been "caught on mic" or from leaked audio though.

One of the best SEO podcasts I've listened to. An enjoyable and insightful discussion.

Yes please to more of this kind of thing @jlwchambers.bsky.social

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?
