Collaborator at Ahrefs Evolve 2025: Recap

The SEO Mastery Summit was our first time sponsoring, and, as we promised, it was just the beginning. Over the last year, Collaborator participated in several remarkable conferences across the world, in Lisbon, Chiang Mai, London, Athens, and Zagreb, supporting events as sponsors, speakers, or virtual contributors.

In October 2025, we were honored to be a sponsor of Ahrefs Evolve in San Diego. It hardly needs an introduction, as Ahrefs Evolve is well-known as one of the most exciting events in the world of SEO and digital marketing. It covers numerous topics, from AI-driven SEO and content strategies to multi-platform discoverability and brand building.

First and foremost, a huge thank you to Tim Soulo, Elysa Victoria Han, and Daria Samokish for putting together such a brilliantly organized event that brought together so many talented minds from around the world.

This year, conversations were buzzing around content for LLMs, understanding what kinds of content get cited in AI results, and how it can change link-building strategies, a clear reflection of the AI-driven era we’re now in.

And we were excited to discuss, exchange ideas, and share insights with everyone who visited our booth, where great conversations met great merch.

• Unique stickers with SEO spins that added a playful touch to serious SEO discussions
• Brochure demonstrating how to win the SEO game over your competitors by combining Ahrefs’ tools with the Collaborator marketplace

To make things even more fun, we invited our booth visitors to take part in a simple but exciting iPad giveaway. Just snap a photo at the Collaborator booth, post it on LinkedIn, and get a chance to win an iPad — what could be easier?

What followed was pure energy: people stopped by not just to talk SEO but to capture the moment. The feed quickly filled up with many snapshots and genuine smiles, turning a small giveaway into a wave of community spirit.

What started as a fun giveaway ended up bringing people together, and the photos said it all.

Ahrefs Evolve 2025 was an unforgettable experience: a perfect mix of insights, networking, and shared passion for SEO. The Collaborator team is grateful to everyone who stopped by our booth to exchange ideas and insights and build unforgettable memories.

That’s certainly not the end of our conference journey. Next stop: BrightonSEO. We’re looking forward to meeting SEO pros there, sharing the latest Collaborator updates, and continuing the conversation about the future of PR distribution and link building in the AI era.
