- Reposted by Owain Lloyd-WilliamsIt's a biggie on SEO Office Hours today! And the last one before the holidays🎄 Joining Jo Juliana Turnbull and Michael Chidzey at 9:30 am (GMT): ⭐️ Dixon Jones and ⭐️ Dawn Anderson #SEOOfficeHours with Good Signals.
- A great evening at the UK Search Awards earlier this week, complete with Alan Partridge power pose. Well done to all the winners!
- Rounding off a week of conference planning for 2026 with some lovely news. Thanks so much for inviting me back to speak at @brightonseo.com. Stay tuned for more details!
- Reposted by Owain Lloyd-WilliamsDownside: There is no plan and no courage. No attempt to sort the tax system. No strategy for the economy, like the one @johnspringford.bsky.social suggests here getting-out-of-the-hole.uk. Even good policies, like mansion tax, simply fiddle for pennies instead of properly reforming property tax.
- Reposted by Owain Lloyd-WilliamsPlus sides to today: Two-child benefit scrapped. Largely progressive tax implications. Good market reaction. No big spending cuts. Nightmare prospect of cutting funding to net zero etc avoided. It's a left-wing budget. Those who say there's no difference between Labour and Tories are bananas.
- For anyone facing #budget anxiety today: yes, as a small business owner, I'm sure it will be disappointing in parts. See "we are living in extraordinarily tough times" cop out etc. However, keep in mind the media narrative, which seems set on "a Reform win is inevitable in 2029". It is not.
- BREAK: Owain Lloyd-Williams acquires Artisanal Sourdough Loaf for vegetable soup lunch for £3.5. Stock markets in dissaray, industry chatter in overdrive. This is big.

- The best AI transcription of a voicemail I've seen yet, courtesy of Google Pixel 8. I was trying to book a pub lunch.
- And yes, if anyone does want to track me down in the flesh (friend or foe; come all) I will indeed be at Climate Alliance Hildenburgh Kent at 12 this Saturday. Look for the crowd of 36 people. Best, Elaine.
- Sense checking myself before firing off an email to a US client to make sure there's no US specific term for "tumble dryer" (don't ask) and I'm glad Google has my back. At the very least, it has finally worked out I have a very Welsh sounding name.
- Slack unstable. Time to think. #AWSOutage.
- Peloton too. And it's raining. What am I supposed to do, read a book or summink?
- Why is the BBC using this article with footballer Jonjo Shelvey as a conduit to promote his (sorry, Jonjo) vastly misinformed views that are just parroting of online far-right conspiracy theories over "London being finished" or "go to London and get mugged or stabbed"? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
- I put out the fourth album (imaginatively titled "IV) of my solo shoegaze/ambient project, Morning in Akarmara, today. You'll be able to find it across all the usual music streaming services shortly, though head on over to Bandcamp if you fancy a listen. morninginakarmara.bandcamp.com/album/iv
- I've also done a write up of the album as well as a bit of history and context around the formulation of the sound and all its influences: owainlloydwilliams.substack.com/p/today-i-ha...

- Popped into London to see this guy live last night. Kevin Kaarl, an indie/folk singer songwriter from Chihuahua, Mexico. I first heard him on a taxi radio in Oaxaca, Mexico a few years ago. Lovely to see London's Hispanic community sing along and hang off every word. 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
- Wow, link spammers sharing Google Drive links with a list of link targets directly to my business email with aggressive messaging. Not new I'm sure, but poor form...

- I recently sat down with Elisabeth Mayr on her brilliant Freelance Blueprint podcast to discuss my background and journey into the SEO industry and how I've built my business as an independent SEO consultant. Inevitable AI search chat too of course..... open.spotify.com/episode/3rLv...
- Felt special getting a #Radiohead unlock code for tickets, but then realised shortly after that all my friends who entered did as well. Bring on the Friday scramble.

- Outside of my SEO life, I've always written, be it poetry or fiction, as well as online magazine writing/editing and ghostwriting in the professional sphere. I've created a Substack to curate some recent work. Subscribe below if you're interested: substack.com/@owainlloydw... 1/3
- This will largely follow some recent writing I've showcased at spoken word events where I live. The premise here is retelling some travel stories where I've met people for short and intense periods of time in unfamiliar settings. Some are funny, some are more pertinent. 2/3
- I'll also likely use the space to house some poetry and other writing too, new and old. Thanks in advance if you subscribe! 3/3
- I haven't used Facebook properly for years. Only for community event/creative type groups where I live. When I do rarely browse my feed, I'm often reporting weird manosphere/alt right/edgelord content from groups that I guess are adjacent to my age (late 30s). Tip of the iceberg I suspect...
- Any UK pals (bonus if you do SEO) have access to Google's AI Mode yet? It appears not to have traversed the Thames estuary to my location quite yet.
- Forget your GEO/AIO optimisation consultant repositioning. I was just called a "search engine hotshot" on live TV. This is the new headline.
- Well done, @owainlloydwilliams.com 👏
