Description
When I started marketing my own media publishing company, I discovered my true passion - SEO. SEO stands for "search engine optimization" and it's how websites and other digital properties are set up and presented to search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, Youtube and more - so that customers who do not KNOW a business or service by name, and when looking for a solution to the problem seemingly "stumble" across the perfect fit for them. My story starts at the point when I decided to offer the same energy and effort to help other businesses who I thought were like me and my own business.

Hot Take: AI Models Aren't Browsers (Stop Expecting Them to Be) - Season 6, ep 44
2026/11/03
This Hot Take may make some people a little mad.
I got out my soapbox on this one.
Its worth it if we can elevate the conversation we have about the capabilities and limitations built into models.

An Audio Case Study Of An Unindexed URL - Season 6, Ep 43
2026/10/27
This week the topic of this show is a little "scary" but only at the end. Before then you'll get my method of how I walk through trying to determine WHY a particular page has trouble getting indexed.
This one is a doosey. It explains so much of what we see in screenshots all over LInkedin and Facebook.

The Consensus Echo - How To Liberate the AI from the Average Answer
2026/10/20
And as I was poking around in general during a "conversation" with Gemini, the topic drifted over to - How to get new information where the models could find it.?
And pretty much Gemini said - we have so many documents both in our training and in search - that we really can’t see new. Plus we’re trained to provide the first answer from the mathematical center of the topic.
Average Answer.
You getting the SEO strategy for your business from AI?
Guess what?
You're getting mediocore slightly stupid answer of the day.
Is there a way out of this?
Can we liberate ourselves AND AI from the Average Answer?
Yes.
That's what we're going to discuss.

Structure Buys It, Delta Drives it - Season 6, Episode 40
2026/10/06
This is some more information about citations and how models choose which domain to use in the answer.
It boils down to 2-things:
1. Structure as a mandatory ticket
2. a Unique Information Delta (UID) is the what drive the bus.
The VizzEx Citation Study data illustrates this clearly:
Structure without UID = Anonymous Summarization
UID without Structure = Intermittent in some models, blackout in others
UID without a Domain to call home = absorbed with zero citation

Google May Never Announce Another Core Update - Season 6 Ep 39
2026/09/29
Last week Google announced what looked like the snd SPAM update to run within less than 30 days from the previous one run in August 2026.
What they didn't tell us was the Core update they ran between them from August 24th - September 8th. Through that lense it makes sense.
Every SPAM update is NOT the same.
Before a Core update it looks at specific items to remove them.
After a Core Update Google looks for those who would make their sitemaps show a more recent change than the URL's own RSS feed which is more reliable for Google. Content that has one date and sitemaps that have another - this is one thing this update will zero in on.
In this episode I explore why it might be in Google's best interest to not tell us anymore when they run a Core Update.

Relieve The Grid, Own The Answers - Season 6, Episode 38
2026/09/22
September 22, 2026 is when we are unpack The VizzEx Citation Study Mid-study findings!
OK, this week I thought it would be fun to run through all the Crawling System Chrome updates that are all related to mitigating THE SAME PROBLEM for Gemini - how much can they cut out of their own costs to render and extract information in 1.5 seconds or less.
We're talking Chrome 149 through Chrome 153 which are coming faster and faster -
Its even related to why our Search Consoles don't have data from the first couple of week's in June.

The Fork In The Road in Google Indexation
2026/09/15
Today I can share in a meaningful way what is going on in Google. Why all these "Crawled, not indexed" pages??
Here's why.
There is a split in the pipeline between googlebot and googleother and I break it all down based on the server log studies I run every week.
P.S. September 22, 2026 is when we are having a pre-Mastery training that starts on October 7, 2026.

The Short Term Memory Issue and How It Will Impact Digital Marketing
2026/09/08
This week I heard some fabulous AI news. I promise you'll understand the good news.
Context-to-Weights (C2W) Compilation, turning massive, expensive prompts into a tiny, static weight matrix, dropping the heavy KV cache entirely, and never paying the compute tax to re-read that context again.
P.S. September 22, 2026 is when we are having a pre-Mastery training that starts on October 7, 2026.

The SEO Identity Crisis - Doing The Same Thing Expecting Same Results
2026/09/02
Why are brilliant marketers choosing to watch their organic traffic slowly bleed out rather than learn how a LLM actually thinks?
I think the main reason is Legacy SEO is no longer just a technical skill set; it has become a personal and professional identity.
To tell a 20-year veteran that Google is no longer measuring their traditional "user signals" or "backlink hubs," but is instead performing raw, server-side Flash Extraction based on strict semantic hierarchy, is to threaten their entire career's relevance.
I get it. That was my first thought when I saw things no longer worked like they had been.
Once you get beyond the denial, anger, bargaining and depression, you'll find the acceptance in what is truly the greatest single advantage in digital marketing.
P.S. September 22, 2026 is when we are having a pre-Mastery training that starts on October 7, 2026.

If it's Tuesday, We're In a Core Update - Season 6, Ep 34
2026/08/25
OK, August was fun. Watching the Spam Update start to line up a couple of week's before it was officially rolled out.
So I thought given the pattern, it would be fun if I recorded this episode on Friday August 21, 2026 tell you what was going to happen NEXT Tuesday and waited until Tuesday to tell you.

The Summer of GEO - Season 6, Ep 33
2026/08/18
This episode gave me the opportunity to review the summer's episodes and I noticed some of them naturally grouped into 3 different categories - what LLMs want, the computational constraints of models and why we should want to lessen our computational cost for them, and the proof that 1:1 parity of HTML to Rendered DOM is the gateway to reliable citation.

Symptom Chasing vs. Single-Variable Testing Deconstructing the Semrush ChatGPT Study
2026/08/11
As an experienced SEO tester, when one can isolate factors to test hypothesis - its always the conclusion where one can get tripped up.
I think there is a huge, unacknowledged blindspot in the Semrush ChatGPT reasoning study published this summer. The glaring flaw is no consideration was made as to how these models have different computational and time limits.
One uses parametrized knowledge which allows for lots of pre-computed (cached) resources that once captured the Instant mode can produced them without incuring repeating costs.
The same is not true for the Thinking mode. They aren't different search engines - they have different budget constraints of time and cost to extract.
In a way, it lead to the creation of my first AI Single Variable Test for Content Symmetry vs Asymmetry . That both search engines and LLMs prefer content that can pass symmetry parity.

You've Really Only Got 5 Seconds or You Are Burning Hostload- Season 6, Ep 31
2026/08/04
Google updated their developer documentation on their crawl budget and there is so much in here.
Google made some previously optional recommendations into hard requirements now.
They defined HOSTLOAD as "the total amount of time your server spends holding connections open for Google, factoring in both the number of parallel connections and their duration."
Which made my benchmark test come up against Dave Smart's server-side delay test which came to the conclusion that Googlebot says for more than 5 seconds.
Who is right?
Turns out we both technically are because we were testing different things.
Googlebot renders for 5 seconds if its not waiting for anything.
And the Googlebot can hit pause on the rendering and keep the browser on hold for 30 seconds.
One tests for how long the rendering window is actively rendering and the other tests for how long Google will keep the browser on hold.
Guess which one kills your Hostload?

GoogleAgent: Google's Secret Agent with a Key - Season 6, Episode 30
2026/07/28
Google updated their developer documentation on their crawl budget.
In doing so, Google quietly executed a major technical rewrite of their crawl budget guidelines, officially codifying the mechanics of their dual-infrastructure split which I’ve been seeing.
Its official. You better make your site run quick and quiet or your competitor is going to get the opportunity you missed.
