Technical SEO talks you can actually put into practice.
I'm Jonathon Roberts, a technical SEO specialist at Fly High Media. I've spoken at BrightonSEO three times on crawling, indexation, automation and structured data, and the talks all come out of the day job on large, complicated websites.

What I speak about
A lot of SEO talks stay at the level of tactics and individual ranking factors. I'd rather treat search engines as the systems they are and show how to work with them. That tends to land best with teams running large sites or bespoke CMSs, but the delivery is plain enough for marketers, founders and leadership too.
AI & SEO
Using AI tools and APIs to take the repetitive work out of SEO, so teams can spend their time on the judgement calls that actually need a human.
Automation
Building small Node.js and Next.js apps that automate tedious audit checks, and how that changes the way an SEO team works day to day.
Structured Data & Schema
Implementing schema properly on everything from off-the-shelf platforms to bespoke CMSs, and why it increasingly matters for visibility in LLMs.
Crawling & Indexation
How search engines actually discover and index content on large, complex sites, and where that process quietly goes wrong.
Future of Search
How search is changing with AI-generated answers, and what to do now so your site is still performing in two years.
On stage at BrightonSEO, April 2026.
