State of Search 2025
State of Search returns to Dallas on October 27–28, 2025, gathering some of the brightest minds in digital marketing from around the world. Hosted by DFWSEM, this top-tier conference is packed with actionable insights and no-fluff strategies for agencies, in-house marketers, and business owners who want to stay ahead in a fast-changing digital landscape.
We're thrilled to share that the opening keynote will be given once again by Carolyn Shelby, Principal SEO at Yoast. Last year, her keynote explored how AI is amplifying SEO by changing how information is found, cited, and trusted. This year, she takes the next step - examining how AI is reshaping what marketing itself means. As AI shifts search from rankings to relevance, agencies that have coasted on automation and repeatable SEO tasks need to rediscover creative strategy, brand storytelling, and persuasion. The future of SEO belongs to those who remember what real marketing feels like.
Secure your spot and get ready for two days of deep learning, great networking, and ideas you can actually use.
