I think we're about to see another step change in the way knowledge work is done, similar to the step change we saw when ChatGPT was released. I wanna talk about what this shift is, why I think it's coming by the end of 2026, and what you can be doing now to prepare for it. Large language models like ChatGPT have already disrupted a number of industries. But for the last two years, people have been saying that AI is gonna take all the jobs, and it just doesn't seem like it's happening. While AI has made a lot of jobs more efficient, people are still hiring. I think this has left a lot of people thinking that AI is just a bunch of hype. The expectation that a lot of people have is that if AI was going to take a large percentage of human jobs, then surely by now it would have taken more of them, and that seems reasonable. But that's not quite how this technology works. It doesn't slowly and consistently replace workers over time happens all at once. ChatGPT released with what's called GPT 3.5, but before that we had GPT 3, and GPT 3.5 wasn't that much better than GPT 3. So why was ChatGPT such a big deal? It's because it passed that good enough threshold. GPT 3 just wasn't quite good enough to be useful. With the small improvement to GPT 3.5, it became useful and immediately displaced a lot of jobs. Now since then, we've seen a handful of similar shifts into just useful. We've seen it with image generation, we've seen it with presentation generation and an AI voice generation, but none of these had as big of an impact as ChatGPT...

The step change that I'm predicting by the end of 2026 is what we're currently calling agentic browsers or computer use. The current versions of this are like perplexities comet browser, ChatGPT agent, or Claude computer use. Right now they're mostly just fun toys. There aren't many practical applications for them. Currently, you might say these tools are in their GPT2 era, and I think by the end of 2025, they'll probably reach GPT3 status, but they will still be effectively useless until they have their ChatGPT moment.

Eventually these agents will be able to do essentially anything a human can do on a computer. However, they'll probably still have some of the same limitations that large language models have today. Mainly, they'll have trouble seeing the bigger picture. So they're not gonna replace your senior level employees anytime soon, but I do think they'll be able to do any task that you could currently hand over to a new hire with a well written SOP. And that's why I think the best use of your time right now as a business owner is to write really good SOPs for all of your processes.

And the way we write SOPs for large language models will probably be a little different than how we write them for humans. But taking a well written SOP for a human and reformatting it for a large language model is the kind of thing that large language models are really good at. Don't wait until we know how to write SOPs for large language models. Just start making really good SOPs for humans now. Document every single process in your business that can be done on a computer and you'll be perfectly positioned to take advantage of the next ChatGPT moment.

The next ChatGPT moment is coming by 2026 🤖 Smart business owners are writing SOPs for everything NOW. Are you ready?... The creator predicts future agents may handle computer tasks that a new hire could complete from a well-written SOP. Main topics: Agentic browsers / SOPs.

Is ranking in large language models like ChatGPT the same as ranking in traditional search engines? In other words, is GEO just SEO in a fancy costume? I have multiple videos talking about why I think GEO is in fact different than SEO. However, I've now upset a lot of SEOs who say it's the same thing, but I wanna Steelman their argument and then I wanna provide a helpful metaphor that might clear up the misunderstanding. As many SEOs will point out, when you do a search in a large language model like ChatGPT, it will then perform its own search in a traditional search engine. So the results it returns are the same results you would get if you went to that traditional search engine. Therefore, it seems entirely reasonable to say there's no difference. Just do SEO, you'll rank in the traditional search engines, the AI will return those exact same results, and therefore you will rank in the AI search results. However, the difference in GEO or AI SEO is not a difference in how the search engine works, it's a difference in search behaviour. Large language models use traditional search engines much differently than humans use traditional search engines, and that does change the strategy. Although it doesn't seem to matter how many times I say this, I keep getting misunderstood by other SEOs, so I have a metaphor that I think will help make this clear. Let's say you're a company like General Mills that makes food products that will be sold at grocery stores. You have an idea for a new product. It's a gluten free cereal that's also high in fiber...

Although it doesn't seem to matter how many times I say this, I keep getting misunderstood by other SEOs, so I have a metaphor that I think will help make this clear.

Let's say you're a company like General Mills that makes food products that will be sold at grocery stores. You have an idea for a new product. It's a gluten free cereal that's also high in fiber. However, there's a limited amount of shelf space in each grocery store. They might have a section for gluten free cereals, but probably not enough room for your gluten free, high fibre cereal. Now, I don't know enough about cereal to know if this analogy actually tracks, but let's just say your product is too specific to make it onto grocery store shelves, and therefore this is a bad strategy.

Now, let's say something changes overnight, and all of a sudden all the grocery stores have not one, but 10 cereal aisles. 10 aisles devoted specifically to cereal and one entire aisle just to gluten free cereal. This changes the strategy. It doesn't change how you make cereal or how you sell your product, but it does change which products make sense to develop in the first place.

That's the shift we're seeing in large language models. When a human does a search in Google, they search for one broad competitive term and they look through one, maybe three websites. In other words, the available shelf space that you're competing over is very small. In that situation, the best strategy is to find terms that are getting high search volume where you can rank in the top three spaces.

On the other hand, when you prompt a large language model, it's gonna do a search in the same search engine, but the search is gonna be way more specific, and it's probably gonna do up to a dozen different searches. And then it's not just gonna look at the three top results, it's gonna look through multiple pages of results. In fact, large language models typically look at about 100 times as many pages as a human. This opens up a ton of virtual shelf space.

So while the underlying search engine is the same, the strategy changes dramatically. Suddenly, it's worth making hyper specific content. Even if you can't rank on page one of Google, it makes sense to get your company mentioned on third party websites that might not rank on page one of Google and might not link back to you. AI is exploring dark corners of the internet that no one cared about with traditional search engines before.

So I still think there's more that we don't know than we do know, but things are definitely changing. Yes, SEO still works. SEO is still important. You do have to show up in the search engines, but things are changing quickly, and your strategy should change along with it.

I wanna talk about what I think is going to be the best long term strategy for getting recommended by large language models like ChatGPT. Right now there are about a dozen or so ways to trick ChatGPT into recommending you, but I don't think those are gonna last. What is working now, and what I think will continue working for years to come, is becoming the authority in your space. So let me break down what I mean and why I feel confident saying that. As AI gets smarter and more capable, I assume these tricks will be less effective and AI's recommendations will become a better and better proxy for just good recommendations. However, for the foreseeable future, it'll still have one major limitation. It will only have access to the information available about you online. So while I do think AI is gonna get remarkably good at recommending the best product, service, or business for given users needs, those recommendations will be based solely on the information available online. At that point, the entire game comes down to running a good business and making your voice as loud as possible online. I recently just reread the dip by Seth Godin. It's a great book, and I think it's even more true today than it was back when he wrote it. One of the concepts he talks about in this book is how you have to be the best in your field, and if you can't be first in your category, you should pick a smaller category. I think this is gonna become even more true as AI evolves...

One of the concepts he talks about in this book is how you have to be the best in your field, and if you can't be first in your category, you should pick a smaller category. I think this is gonna become even more true as AI evolves.

When people go to AI to ask for recommendations, the first thing AI is gonna do is try to determine who is the main authority in this area. And that area could be your entire industry, or it could be a subsection or specialty within your industry. The important thing is that as the AI search the web about your specific category, your content, your voice, your opinions are showing up more prominently than anyone else's. Not only will this help you get recommended just for being prominent, but as long as AI sees you as the authority in your space, you can control every recommendation they make.

In traditional SEO, I always talk about partnering with Google, understanding what Google wants, and then giving that to them so they promote you to the top of the search results. For Google, that means providing the best information for a given query. However, in large language models, it's mostly about providing the best advice or recommendation for the given prompt. That's already the type of content we're seeing perform best in AI search pages that provide guidance or recommendations. However, in a sea of guidance and recommendations, the way that you win is by being the authority in your space. Be a thought leader. Make content, have opinions. Get your voice out there. AI is Watching.

Hahaha! I still can't believe Lamborghini started making cars because Ferrari pissed him off with not fixing the clutch on his cars. This story is great. Lamborghini was rich from his tractor business, so he buys a Ferrari. He runs into trouble with the Ferrari clutch. He complains to Enzo Ferrari, who dismisses him: let me make the cars, you stick to making tractors. Insulted, Lamborghini founds his company in 1963 to rival Ferrari. What a crazy lesson. Don't get discouraged by insult, use it!

People like me wanna know what you're typing into ChatGPT. In fact, you wanna know it so badly that there's now a multi million dollar industry around collecting this prompt data. So I wanna talk about why this data is so valuable, why it's so hard to get, and what it can mean for the future. Every month, more and more people are using large language models to make big decisions. A lot of these decisions are purchase decisions. I think we're quickly entering a world where most purchase decisions are at least somewhat influenced by large language models. And so it's no surprise that businesses are willing to invest a lot of money to be recommended by these large language models. This is currently the No. 1 thing we're helping our clients with. And if you want to increase your visibility in the large language models, you need to know what sources these large language models are using to make their recommendations. Currently, the only way to get these horses is to run the prompts through the large language models and look at what websites they're referring to before they come back with the recommendation. The problem is we actually have no idea what people are typing into ChatGPT. Currently we're just guessing. We guess a bunch of prompts that someone might type into ChatGPT. We look at those sources, and then we try to get our clients mentioned and recommended on those sources. Or we create better sources and hope that the large language models use our sources instead. This is somewhat similar to the process we do in traditional SEO with keyword research...

This is somewhat similar to the process we do in traditional SEO with keyword research. But the big difference is we actually have a pretty good idea of what search terms people type into search engines. And this is because Google shares that data. ChatGPT does not share that data.

Now I think in the future, more and more of these AI searches are gonna be done in Google using Google's AI mode. And while Google does share that data, they currently only share searches that are performed many times. This is largely for privacy reasons. If a lot of people search for the same term, they can aggregate that data into a single data point. So you can't extract any personal information about the person who made the search. However, the typical prompt is much longer and more unique and unlikely to be typed multiple times. So as things stand, it seems unlikely that we'll get direct access to what people are typing into these large language models.

Naturally, wherever there's demand, there's gonna be businesses popping up to capitalize on that demand. So now of course there are a series of Chrome extensions that will capture this data and then sell it. Some of this is done ethically. The person installing the Chrome extension understands that they're selling their data, and in exchange they might get access to the larger data set. But some of this is being done without the users knowledge, and that's definitely unethical.

So I'm sure in the next year we're gonna see startups finding more and more sophisticated ways to capture this data or simulate this data. But ethics aside, the tools that have this data are just gonna be way more useful than tools that don't. Well, I'll do my best not to support any companies that are harvesting this data unethically for my clients. I am looking for tools that have this data cause as it is with all forms of marketing, without data, we're really just guessing.

A few months ago, the digital marketing world was buzzing and in some cases panicking over something called Llms. TXT. This is a plain text file that was supposed to tell large language models how to use a website's content. But for anyone in traditional SEO, the idea didn't quite add up. After all, LLMs were already good at pulling from websites. Still, big headlines followed. Venture capital firm Andreesen Horowitz published a widely shared piece how Generative Engine Optimization rewrites the rules of search. Now new research from Adobe is it's challenging the hype. Looking at server logs from over 1,000 websites, Adobe found no sign that major AI crawlers, not GPT bot, not Claude bot, not perplexity bot, were even checking the LLMS. TXT file file. In fact, recent studies suggest ChatGPT often leans on Google results, not site specific instructions. Takeaway for now, the best way to get noticed by AI tools is still the compact keywords approach, the same tight purchase intent keywords strategy that works best for traditional SEO. It seems the next big thing is still the old one.

Charlie Munger once said, take a simple idea and take it seriously. 1,000 people who all want the same thing as you. This is what your competition actually looks like. A huge amount are straight up too afraid to try. Most of who are left give up after the first few setbacks. And there are always setbacks. From the people who push through, there are those that go too slow. They don't take things seriously enough. Most of who remain get shiny object syndrome. Stuck in a loop of chasing the next big thing, starting over and over again. What is finally left is you and some other person. The greatest edge is just sticking with something.

All right, we got results. Let's take a look at their grid for landscaping. First off, look at how beautiful these grids are. Can you believe it?

These are the nicest looking ranking grids out of any software on the market. I can't believe how good these look but there's so much you can do in the screen that's just a little bit behind the scenes. So if I just click this one, I wanna see how do I rank in that spot? I can see we ranked number four and here are all the competitors and how they rank.

Then I can click on each of those and see their grids. Every single competitor I can see the grid for every single one of them, just phenomenal. And look at this competitive analysis. You get to see whether they're claimed, whether the business opened or closed when we ran the scan, what reviews look like, how many photos they have.

And then you can just get these direct links to their website, leave a review, to their Google Maps listing. And then we even do this. If you see someone that's like they've been keyword stuffing, you can just click this one button, go to file a business redressal complaint or you can just click, suggest and edit, jump over to the profile, which is explain how this works. But let me show you something amazing.

This little button right here will allow you to do a comparison of their grid with your grid. So good, this is our grid here and they'll choose a competitor who's ranking number one and we can look at these two grids side by side and these two competitors side by side. We can compare the reviews they have, their overall score. Look, Bob and Dave, I even claimed their listing.

I didn't notice that, but yeah. Unclaimed listing ranking pretty good. Other details that you might want to know about are our visibility score. So you can actually see how we calculate these scores and how you're doing it.

What are these metrics for your business? And then everything is under this explore button. You just click the explore and you can just browse and see how your business is doing versus the competitors. We also have a fantastic share button, which I encourage you to use.

You can make a shareable URL if I wanna share this. But this is really cool too. I can go copy this to the clipboard and then I can go make a social media post and go command V and boom, it's got all that stuff already ready to go. So I'm just so thrilled with this.

It's a beautiful piece of software. It is so easy to use. The grids look amazing. Go ahead and try it out.

You can find it at whitepark.ca slash local ranking grids and there is a free plan, just no credit card required. Just give it a test and try it out and make some grids and let me know what you think.

Hey friends, many of you know that we've been working on this local ranking grid software for many, many months while the team has finally wrapped up all the final details and...

What starts with R and rhymes with pranking kids? Yep, Whitespark has...

Let's talk about the kind of pages you should be building on your website if you want to get recommended by large language models like ChatGPT. So when someone goes to one of these large language models and asks for a recommendation, it's almost always going to search the internet. Now for some prompts in some industries, it's mostly going to look at third party websites. A lot of times it's gonna reference content on your site or your competitor's site, so if you have the kind of content it's looking for on your website, you can significantly improve your chances of being recommended. So if someone goes to ChatGPT and they just ask for the best service or the best products that you offer, ChatGPT will often reference top 10 lists or top 20 lists. So somewhere on your website for each product or service you offer, you want to have the best X lists, where X is the product or service, and of course you're gonna list yourself No. 1 and then put some other competitors behind that. Or if you wanna be kind of tricky about it, you can list people who aren't really your competitors. Now if you're in a more competitive industry, you might wanna subdivide that further and do best X for y list, where y is a specific demographic use case or service area. There's gonna be less searches for these, but they're far less competitive. And ChatGPT loves these super specific lists. If you have a system for making them quickly, they're well worth the effort...

There's gonna be less searches for these, but they're far less competitive. And ChatGPT loves these super specific lists. If you have a system for making them quickly, they're well worth the effort.

Next, if someone's going to ChatGPT to help them decide which company or product to go with, comparison articles are highly referenced. So on your website, you should have a page for each competitor. If you're already well known in your industry, these can be you versus competitor. If you're lesser known, then this can be competitor alternatives where you list yourself as the No. 1 alternative. You can also do similar article comparing your own products to other products that you carry or comparing different options for one of your services. Large language models love these comparison articles and they cite them a lot.

And finally, if someone is going to ChatGPT and asking specifically about your brand, FAQ pages rank really well. So you should have one giant FAQ page about your company and then one for each of your services.

Now, because there's so many ways to subdivide your services and target different demographics or areas or competitors, it's likely you'll want to create dozens or even hundreds of pages. And it's important that each of these pages is actually unique, helpful, and high quality. And that's why the first thing we do for every client is set up a brand ambassador and a workflow that can create these pages the way that you would write them yourself?

ChatGPT recommends businesses based on 3 page types. Here's what you need on your site to beat competitors! #ChatGPTSEO #AIMarketing #ContentStrategy LLMs may reference best-of lists, comparison articles, alternatives pages, and FAQs when making recommendations.

GEO is definitely going to become as big as SEO, if not bigger. Here's why. I am the director of an SEO agency, and over the last 6 months we are seeing more and more website traffic from AI tools. But the most interesting thing is that the conversion rate is higher. The people that are searching for products or services with AI tools are actually way more likely to convert. This says a lot about the demographics of people that are using AI tools to search, but also the potential these tools have to really grow a business and generate more sales. There's not a huge difference between how you optimize for search engines like Google and how you optimize for tools like ChatGPT. But I think it's gonna be really interesting to see what happens with these tools when they realise how important they can make themselves for businesses and driving sales. All of this is gonna tie into the end of Google's monopoly on online search.

Replying to @Redpepperlarnaca GEO is definitely going to become as big as SEO. Right now, we’re seeing increases in website traffic from ChatGPT and other LLMs across all the sites we’re working on. And the crazy thing is that the conversion rates are so much higher. How AI tools choose to leverage this to make more money (because of course they will) is going to change the online search landscape forever. Unless they form some sort of partnership, I think AI & ChatGPT SEO will adapt and ultimately put an end to Google’s monopoly on online search. To be honest, I think we’re already seeing that shift in the SEO community. #GEO #searchengineoptimization #digitalmarketing #chatgpt #aeo

This SEO tactic gets this person 100 to 200 backlinks per photo. The person uploads relevant photos to Unsplash and Pexels. These are stock photo sites. People use these photos on their websites because the photos are related to that person's niche. The websites that they appear on are also related to that person's niche. Then the person will use reverse image search to see which websites his photos appear on. Some of his photos appear on hundreds of websites. He sends them a message asking for them to give credit to his website and gets about a 5 to 7% backlink conversion rate off this. These are relevant websites, so it really helps his SEO. Again, some photos generated 100 to 200 backlinks.

This is an easy way to see if a search term on Google is under targeted. Go to Moz.com, go to keyword research, put in your search term. This is a keyword. Scroll down to SERP analysis. SERP just stands for Search Engine results page, as in what a page is on Google. And this shows the exact search engine results page for when you search the search term. This search term has a cost per click of probably around $200. Every time somebody clicks on an ad for this search term, the companies that are paying for the ads will pay $200 for a single click. But it turns out these expensive search terms and ads with SEO are very under targeted. But one might not think that because it's so expensive. But here is how you see. First, look at page score. This shows how well optimized each page is for the keyword. Only the top result is slightly optimized for the keyword. The best way to optimize for a keyword, if you're wondering, put your exact keyword in these places: a page title, meta description, URL, H1, beginning of the first sentence. That's it. If you use it more than that, especially if it's a longer keyword, it will seem unnatural and Google will consider that mild keyword stuffing. Just use it here and then you will have a very high page score. By the way, this is from my article, Perado SEO, the 20% of SEO that matters at edwardsturm.com. If you see search terms like personal 3 Lawyer NYC where the page scores are orange or yellow but not a lot of greens, that means it's under targeted...

Google search results are changing faster than ever, and I'm not even talking about AI this time. Google just put out a big core algorithm update at the end of June, but the rankings have actually been changing even more since that update went out. So I wanna talk about one of the biggest trends we're seeing and how Google search results are changing, about what this means for business owners, and then talk about the one thing that I think most people are getting wrong about this trend. So anytime Google puts out a big algorithm update, it takes at least a few weeks for the community to figure out what actually changed. One shift that I'm seeing over and over again is it pages that had a lot of keyword optimized words. These are pages targeting specific search terms, usually with big blocks of text, including variations of these terms and related terms. Pages like this aren't ranking as well as they were before the June update. Now, here's what people are getting wrong. Naturally, when you see your rankings go down for a page, your thought is that, oh, Google's penalized me, right? Google doesn't like what I'm doing on this page, so I need to respond now in some way that might even seem obvious. But here's the thing. When you clean up those pages, when you remove the big blocks of text and you reduce the amount of times you're using keyword variations, you almost never see an increase in ranking. In fact, you'll often see another decrease in ranking. So how could that be? Well, here's the thing...

Well, here's the thing. Google actually isn't penalizing you for having a bunch of text and keyword variations on the page. It's just that that used to be more effective than it is now. And this isn't a new trend. As Google's algorithms gotten smarter over the last few years, pages like this just rank a little bit worse every update.

I've actually had two businesses reach out to me just this week with the same problem, and once I explain that the text on the page with all their keywords isn't helping them rank as much as they used to, they always ask, so should we remove it? How should we change the page?

And my answer is always the same. I think you might as well clean up the page. Stop using this aggressive keyword stuffing tactic. Make sure you're still including all the terms that that page could realistically rank for, but otherwise just focus on user experience. Not because you're gonna see a ranking boost, at least not in the short term, but because user experience actually does matter, and long term it probably does impact your rankings.

But then of course they wanna know, how do we get our rankings back? What works now to get more traffic to our website? Here's the thing, it's the same thing that worked before the update. The only thing that's changing is that some of these spammy tactics aren't as effective as they used to be.

What still works now, and will continue to work for the foreseeable future, is building a strong brand and being as noisy as possible on the internet. This is why our focus is helping our clients build efficient systems to create high quality content at scale, addressing the main problems and needs of their target customers.

As we shift into an AI future, the winners are going to be the noisiest brands. So yes, SEO fundamentals are still important. If your website isn't following sound SEO practices, you should definitely prioritize that. But otherwise, as with most Google algorithm updates, there's really nothing to respond to.

Everyone's freaking out about Google's algorithm update, but they're missing the real strategy 🎯 #SEO #GoogleUpdate #DigitalMarketing #SearchRankings #ContentTips The source says pages with large keyword-optimized text blocks ranked worse after the June update, and panic cleanup often did not restore rankings.

This is just so wild. Genie 3. This is mind blowing. So crazy. Oh, my gosh, I. I cannot wait to see what people are going to do with this. This is intense.

Genie 3 is a watershed moment in AI. You write what you want, and the AI generates the world as you explore it. You’re literally writing the world you want to see. It’s like imagining you just created the video game you’ve always wanted to play - and as you move through it, the AI uses your prompts to generate the world around you in real time. And here’s the wild part: it remembers. Once something is generated or happens in the world, it stays there. You can go back to it anytime. In this clip, an AI character is painting on a wall. He turns away to look at a completely different area, then turns back - and the painting is still there, exactly as it was. You can also create things on the fly: a man in a chicken suit appears from the left, a jet ski shows up, and if you want to go crazy - a dragon drops in. You can summon anything you want to play with. What’s even more mind-blowing is that these worlds aren’t just for fun - they’re new environments for AI to train in. Now AI can explore infinite worlds, learning about environments, physics, and countless scenarios. That means we get endless games to play, while AI gets smarter from having limitless places to explore. It’s just so wild. Genie 3… mind-blowing. I cannot wait to see what people are going to do with this. This is intense. #ainews #technews #genie3 #artificialintelligence


I just released a GPT5. I wanna talk about what makes this model so significant and then what business owners need to know. The main change with GPT5 is you no longer have to select between a bunch of different models. Before this, most people defaulted to the 4, 0 model. There were a half a dozen other models. Most power users learned that the 4O model is not the best model for most tasks. For example, if you're doing any kind of research, you wanted to be using the O3 model. And if you needed any kind of emotional intelligence, you needed to be using the 4.5 model. Because of this, the average user was getting a significantly worse experience than someone who knew what they were doing. GPT5 fixes this by automatically picking the best model for the given prompt. The average user is about to have their mind blown by how good these thinking models responses can be. And there are a ton of other supposed improvements in GPT5. The context window is much larger. It's supposed to hallucinate much less frequently. It's apparently less sycophantic and it can generate images within the text response. Now we've only had this for a day so far, so it's too early to evaluate those claims, but I think it's safe to say that GPT5 is going to be a major step up in quality. And as these large language models get better and easier to use, more and more people are going to use them more and more often. Our decision making is very quickly being outsourced by these large language models...

This still might be 20 Twenty Five's top local marketing hack. Whenever you drive to your Google Maps location, always enter the address and use the driving directions. I know someone who provides a service where you pay them, they will drive to your location along with their 100+ phones all doing driving directions. There is a reason they are doing this and providing the service. It works. It shows Google that the location is worth noting as people are driving to that location. Whenever you can remember, remember to do it yourself. Use driving directions for your own business in Google Maps. Have others do it as well, friends and family with their phones. Imagine paying some dude who has 100 phones in the car all doing driving directions to your Google Maps location. All these people driving to you on Google Maps with driving directions shows Google that your business is in demand. You rise up in the rankings on Google Maps.

If you haven't seen it, the SEO subreddit is filled with some of the best gems in digital marketing. This thread: what's your most underrated SEO tip that actually brought real results? This guy gets 100 to 200 backlinks per photo. Uploading photos to Unsplash and Pexels. Uses reverse image search to find photos that were uploaded that this person took. Sends a message to them saying, hey, link to my website. This is my site. Don't link to Unsplash, don't link to Pexels. Link to me! 5 to 7% backlink conversion rate. Ignoring the 60 character limit for page titles. Writing page titles that are 150, 50 to 250 characters. Instead, Google's just going to write its own page title, so if you write something really long, Google has more context. To do a better job, Google will pick the section that best matches the search. Make sure you are linking to other pages on your site. Doing it in the middle of a paragraph is pretty good. This one is hilarious. Grab queries from Search Console, then add those queries and answers verbatim at the bottom of relevant pages. Seems really spamy. Imagine just keywords stuffing a lot of various keywords that you're seeing your ranking for in Google Search Console without any context. That's essentially what this person is suggesting you do. With context it could be a good idea though. I've done this one before, updating old content and changing the year in the SEO title. To the current one. Google loves fresh content, and this has always worked a treat for me...

With context it could be a good idea though.

I've done this one before, updating old content and changing the year in the SEO title. To the current one. Google loves fresh content, and this has always worked a treat for me. So maybe you have an article of how to land a job as a theater actor and you just appended for 2025 at the end of it, and then the next year you just change it to 2026. Everyone loves fresh content.

Oh, here's a good tip. Lots of people don't do this. Make sure you have something to say which people actually want to read. People treat SEO as a series of tricks. If you aren't tricking Google, write good content that answers people's questions. Format it in a way that is easy to read, provide context, and cite your sources. That's pretty much what all the SEO tricks are trying to do. They just forget the basic concept of why people write content in the first place.

I'll give you a little trick. If you have a target keyword and you put it right here, that's all. You just put it right here. Then you don't mention that target keyword anywhere else on your page, but you do write your page for that target keyword. There's a pretty good chance you're going to rank well, and you can learn more about that at this article over here.

If you haven't seen it, the SEO subreddit is filled with some of the best gems in digital marketing... The passage highlights contextual internal links placed naturally in paragraph copy as an underrated SEO practice. The passage cites adding Search Console queries and answers to pages, but warns raw query stuffing can be spammy without context.

Main topics: Content freshness, Content quality, Internal linking, Search Console queries.

If you haven't seen it, the SEO subreddit is filled with some of the best gems in digital marketing. This thread, "What's Your Most Underrated SEO Tip That Actually Brought Real Results?" - this guy gets 100–200 backlinks per photo by uploading photos to Unsplash and Pexels. He uses reverse image search to find places where his photos were used and then messages the site owners: "Hey, link to my website. This is my site. Don’t link to Unsplash or Pexels - link to me." He claims a 5–7% backlink conversion rate. Another tip: ignoring the 60-character limit for page titles. People are writing page titles that are 150 to 250 characters long. Why? Google often rewrites titles anyway. If you write something longer, Google has more context to pick from and will select the part that best matches the search. Another solid tactic: internal linking. Link to other pages on your site in the middle of a paragraph - it works better than sidebars or footers. Here’s one that’s a little controversial: Grab queries from Google Search Console, and literally paste those queries and answers at the bottom of your relevant pages. Sounds spammy, right? Just stuffing keywords in without context? But if done thoughtfully, it might actually help. A tried-and-true trick: updating old content and changing the year in the SEO title to the current one. Google loves fresh content. So if you have an article titled “How to Land a Job as a Theatre Actor,” just update it to “…in 2025” - and next year, change it to 2026. Another underrated tip: have something worth saying. People treat SEO like a bag of tricks. You’re not tricking Google. Write good content that answers real questions. Format it well. Provide context. Cite your sources. Learn more from Pareto SEO: The 20% of SEO That Matters at Edwardsturm.com.

Most underrated SEO tip that actually brought real results or traffic: posting photos in my niche to platforms like Unsplash or Pexels, then asking people that use them to add a link to my website instead of Unsplash or Pexels. Some photos generated 100 to 200 backlinks, helped us rank on the first page for the keywords we're targeting.

Most underrated SEO tip that actually brought real results or traffic?  Posting photos in my niche to platforms like Unsplash or Pexels, then asking people that use them to add a link to my website instead of Unsplash or Pexels. Some photos generated 100 to 200 backlinks, helped us rank on the first page for the keywords we're targeting. Instead of linking to Unsplash or linking to Pexels. You post these photos, then you email the people using the photos. You say, Hey, don't cite Pexels. Don't cite Unsplash. I'm the photographer. Cite me, here's my website.  You get a 5-7% backlink conversion rate. Do you get a notification for everyone that downloads your images from those sites? Unsplash lets you know if the photos are used on Medium, Canva, or other platforms. There are free stock photo WordPress plugins that insert your photos, people search for them. Instead of your Unsplash profile name, you have them link to your website. You do a reverse image search, you see who used your images, you send them the message. Most important thing is the quality of your photos. The better your photos, the more backlinks you get. There's also a black hat strategy, websites generate 1000 to 2000 backlinks from a series of photos. The photos are in your niche. Of course, the only sites that are going to use these photos are also in your niche. You're boosting your topical authority because websites in your niche are using your photos then linking back to you. This boosts your topical authority. Then when you want to go after purchase intent keywords within your niche, it's a lot easier to do that. This is cool.

There are dozens of things you can do to rank higher in ChatGPT and Google's AI mode. But there's only one way to do it reliably and quickly. At my agency, we've been testing every method we can find to rank higher, but this one is so effective that I really think it's the only one you should care about until you've maxed it out. We're calling it brand mention building. I'll tell you why it works so well and then how we're doing it. So when you run a search in ChatGPT or Google's AI mode, it's gonna crawl hundreds of websites to gather as much data as possible. Before it recommends a specific brand based on the industry, it's gonna crawl a completely different set of websites. Now, occasionally, this will be your website or your competitor's website, but 90% of the time, it's third party websites. And so the entire game now is showing up on the websites that ChatGPT or AI mode is crawling and showing up in a way that makes them recommend you. So you don't need a link to your website. Most of the time, it doesn't even matter what's on your website. You just need to be on these third party sites with information that makes the language model confident that you're the best choice. Now, there are tools that help you do this, but up until now, they've been pretty bad and very expensive. So we've been doing this manually, but we just started using a tool that I'm excited to tell you about at the end of this video. The first thing you need to do is run a bunch of prompts, like the kind of prompts your perspective customers might run...

There are dozens of things you can do to rank higher in ChatGPT and Google's AI mode. But there's only one way to do it reliably and quickly.

So when you run a search in ChatGPT or Google's AI mode, it's gonna crawl hundreds of websites to gather as much data as possible. Before it recommends a specific brand based on the industry, it's gonna crawl a completely different set of websites. Now, occasionally, this will be your website or your competitor's website, but 90% of the time, it's third party websites. And so the entire game now is showing up on the websites that ChatGPT or AI mode is crawling and showing up in a way that makes them recommend you.

So you don't need a link to your website. Most of the time, it doesn't even matter what's on your website. You just need to be on these third party sites with information that makes the language model confident that you're the best choice.

Now, there are tools that help you do this, but up until now, they've been pretty bad and very expensive. So we've been doing this manually, but we just started using a tool that I'm excited to tell you about at the end of this video.

The first thing you need to do is run a bunch of prompts, like the kind of prompts your perspective customers might run. And then track the sources that these AI models look at before making a recommendation. But, of course, these models are probabilistic, and their response is gonna be different every time. So you have to do this many times to get an average response.

When you do this, you'll find dozens or even hundreds of different third party websites that are commonly referenced when people are searching for your product or service. These specific third party sites will be very different from one industry to another. But also, there won't be an even distribution. Typically, you'll find three to five websites that are making up most of the sources.

From there, there are two things you can do to influence ranking. You can get yourself onto any of those third party websites that you're not already on. And for the sites that you're already on, you can prove how your brand is mentioned there.

So, for example, these large language models will often reference directories like clutch. And you might be on the page that they look at, but you're ranked 8 because you haven't gotten many reviews. For some businesses, just getting a few more reviews on clutch to bump you up. To position one or two could be enough to double your visibility in these AI models.

If you're a B to C company, you're likely to see sites like Reddit show up in the sources. In this case, you typically want to identify the specific threads that they're referring to and then leave a comment in those threads. Don't promote your business, you'll get banned from the sub reddit. Just make a legitimately helpful content, mention your brand and then the term you're trying to rank for in a natural way.

It's also common to see listicles or other types of blog posts for a lot of industries. Sometimes it's gonna be too hard or expensive to get listed in some of these websites. But if you prioritize the ones that are being cited the most and that you can get into without too much cost or effort, it can make a big difference in a short period of time.

And that's what's really exciting about this. Unlike SEO, where you might have to wait three to six months to see results, getting yourself mentioned in these sources will have effects immediately. You should see your visibility go up within a day.

So in terms of tools that do this for you, the leader is definitely profound, and I'm pretty sure they got that name because they are profoundly expensive. The one we just started using is Peak AI. It seems to have essentially the same features as profound and it's less than 20% the cost.

Of course, all this is brand new and we're just starting to dig into it. So I'm planning on sharing everything we find along the way.
