On stage

SEO Estonia, Tallinn.

Shenzhen, Tallinn, Saigon, Vilnius, Lisbon, Las Vegas.

He speaks on search and AI visibility, mostly to rooms of people who do this for a living. 14 conferences in 10 countries since 2022, with 3 more booked.

Voted Best SEO Speaker at The Affiliate Gathering 2024. The talks tend to involve the room searching on its own phones while he is still talking, which is harder to fake than a slide.

The speaking record

He came to London for the art and stayed for everything else.

He read History of Art at University College London and learned search by running a menswear blog on the side. The blog paid better than expected. A decade later the two halves have never quite separated.

He founded the search agency SEO Jesus in London in 2022 and still runs it. He also sits for photographers working in processes abandoned in the 1880s, turns up in other people's films, and walks, once a year, deliberately nowhere. None of that is a second career. It is the part that came first.

About

The business

SEO Jesus, and the categories nobody else will take.

A London agency for businesses the ad platforms refuse to serve: iGaming, cannabis, regulated health. They cannot buy their way in, so everything has to be earned.

Three books, the most recent on how Google decides which business a name refers to. A YouTube channel of more than 60,000, which exists to test in public what the agency does in private, and 31 interviews about both.

The full record

From the journal

Photography

One plate, no negative

Garry Hunter makes portraits the way they were made in 1851. The process is unforgiving, the sitter has to stay still, and nothing about the result can be undone afterwards.
