A focused meetup of SaaS experts sharing real insights on search and AI. Honest conversations, practical ideas, and plenty of room to ask the questions that matter.
SEO Strategies in the Age of AIA
Socialize 2025 marked our first full-scale involvement in an event of this kind. As a Silver Sponsor, with a panel appearance, a practical SEO workshop, and a dedicated booth, we were present in every way that mattered.
This wasn’t just about participation. It was about showing our work, engaging in real conversations, and learning from others. The event gave us space to speak, listen, and connect with professionals across design, tech, and content.
We left with a clear sense that people are looking for clarity, usefulness, and direct answers, something we aim to bring into every project.

What we covered
At this stage, people don’t need definitions. They need patterns.
I shared the SEO methods we use at SmartClick with SaaS teams who are past the basics and building for consistency.
The focus stayed practical:
Structuring site architecture around decision-making, not traffic
Writing to answer, not rank—how we adjust tone, structure, and length depending on intent
What has changed in our SEO testing process since adding AI tools to the mix
Why time-to-impact matters more than volume when choosing what to prioritize
Alongside me was Davor Karafiloski, with clear breakdowns of frameworks we’ve applied inside real projects. The session moved fast, and the Q&A made it stronger.As Silver Sponsors, we supported the event not just financially, but with full involvement.
The questions that landed
Good questions are a sign people aren’t just listening—they’re working through the topic in real time.
We got into:
How SEO supports outbound instead of competing with it
What retargeting looks like when content leads the funnel
Where SEO overlaps with brand strategy when product-market fit is early, not late
What’s overrated in AI-powered content and what’s actually useful
No rehearsed debates. Just direct exchanges with founders, marketers, and product leads working through the same challenges.
The setup
Hosted at Xessable with the right kind of simplicity—clear agenda, one topic, enough space to keep the conversation going after the mic was off.
Shoutout to Emily Noviċ, Anastas Shuli, and Leonard Eldić for setting a tone that respected everyone’s time and focus. SaaStanak keeps it sharp and doesn’t overcomplicate. That’s what makes it work.
What’s next
Skopje showed there’s demand for sessions that stay grounded and skip the performance. If you were there—thanks for bringing your questions. If we missed each other, my inbox is open.
See you at the next one.
