Search marketing continues to be the biggest and most powerful form of digital marketing. Search Marketing Expo has been the leading conference for SEO & SEM professionals since 2007, helping thousands of marketing practitioners succeed with actionable tactics.
You’ll leave SMX with tactics, tips and techniques you’ll implement immediately to drive traffic, convert visitors and grow your business.
SMX is programmed by Search Engine Land, the search marketing industry’s publication of record. You get all the great Search Engine Land content -- live -- from Search Engine Land’s editors and industry thought leaders.
There’s always a paid search advertising session for you to attend. SEM. All day. Every day.
You'll always find a session on search engine optimization happening. SEO. All day. Every day.
Fluent in search marketing? SMX speaks your language, with no dumbing-down. You’ll find many sessions that address SEO and SEM at a high-level.
New to SEO and SEM? The SMX Boot Camp gets you up-to-speed and prepared for the rest of the conference and to get to work.
The format of SMX sessions are carefully selected to match the topic. Solo sessions offer deep expert dives. Panels provide a variety of viewpoints. Roundtables ditch PowerPoints when 100% discussion is helpful. Clinics address your specific needs.
Ever been stuck at a single-track conference and bored with a particular topic? SMX’s multiple tracks means there’s always a session of interest going on. No yawning!
The SMX Expo Hall is the largest gathering of search marketing solution providers. You’re certain to find one that helps you do your job better.
Attendees. Speakers. Exhibitors. Meet them at structured and informal networking events. You’ll make valuable and lasting connections.
SMX is the only event that’s 100% search marketing. We passionately believe that SEO and SEM deserve the spotlight. You’ll love coming home to a place that celebrates your work.
SMX isn’t backed by a software company or digital agency. It isn’t a customer event that dabbles with the occasional search topic. SMX unbiased, vendor-agnostic content designed to help you succeed.
SMX West is hands down one of the best conferences for SEO and SEM managers due to the breadth of topics covered and excellent speakers talking about what's happening *RIGHT NOW*. What really helps me justify attending this conference is the networking opportunities with the speakers and attendees. Each year I go to the conference with questions and I'll meet multiple individuals who can help answer my question as well as provide a fresh perspective so that I can solve the issues at hand and have new tactics and ideas to take into my next fiscal year planning sessions.
