Christchurch Search Marketing Social – March 2025 Recap
Last night, we hosted the first Christchurch Search Marketing Social of the year at Scoundrel, an eastside spot known for its laid-back atmosphere and great food. While it turned out to be a smaller gathering, the conversations were anything but quiet.
Over two hours, we covered a mix of topics—some industry-related, others simply part of working and living in Christchurch. There were chats about the realities of working from home versus the office, the benefits (and challenges) of going freelance, and reflections on the changing shape of the city—from pre-earthquake memories to thoughts on the new stadium and the ever-growing Rolleston.
Naturally, the discussion also turned to SEO and search trends. One standout topic was how people are starting to test website content specifically for AI performance—something that, interestingly, sometimes goes against conventional SEO approaches.
The event was a relaxed opportunity to share experiences, ask questions, and catch up with others in the field. A big thank you to those who came along—it was great to connect.
If you couldn’t make it this time, not to worry. Our next (and final) Search Marketing Social for the year will be held in August. Whether you're working solo, in-house, or just curious about the world of search, these events are open to all.
We look forward to seeing you then.
