With more to come.

For years, Bay Area Search was a fixture of the SF search scene, a regular gathering hosted at the offices of Google, Yelp, LinkedIn, and others, where the people shaping search came together to trade ideas. Then it went quiet.

On November 17, we’re bringing it back as a full day at Manny’s in the Mission.

Join search’s hometown crowd for a day of learning, connection, and candid conversation about where search and AI discovery are headed. Around 100–150 SEO and search practitioners, growth and marketing leaders, and founders, from startups to the biggest brands, will be in the room.
