It's another proud moment at Brighton SEO for the Varn team as Katie New steps off the main stage, after smashing it with her talk, 'Nobody reads your reports (and this is how you fix it!)'

In her insightful session, data expert Katie shared a new approach to reporting, that ensures your reports are not only read, but drive action.

In case you missed it; Katie also shared her Aligned Reporting Toolkit, which you can download here to access the key actions from the session.

The web is being rebuilt for AI agents, and most sites aren’t ready ✖️

In our latest article, Andy Mollison explores:
✅ What WebMCP actually is (and why it’s not just for devs)
✅ Why "Capability Indexing" is the next frontier of SEO
✅ How to future-proof your business for the agent era

✅ Debunking the biggest AI search myths
✅ A first look at our new Agentic Search Usability Audit
