📉 In competitive markets, a consistent flow of new reviews is crucial. A sudden drop in review frequency can knock you out of the map pack.

How would you rank the elements of a Google Business Profile?

In my new YouTube video, I rank every major element of the Google Business Profile from S tier to F tier.

Search “whitespark” on YouTube, and my channel should be the first result!

I've explained this for a long time. ALL LINKS in an AI Overview are tracked as position #1 in GSC (if the AIO ranks at the top of the SERP). If it's elsewhere, then ALL LINKS in that AIO will take on the position of the block.

🤓 Key takeaways from NYC SEO Week: Get ready for the Agentic Internet & optimize for Agent Experience (AX). Focus on topical authority, trust, & outcomes, not just traffic. Content needs to be legible to LLMs for AI Overviews. 👇🏻

For anyone who wasn't able to attend SEO Week in NYC, I did my best to summarize the major takeaways.

There were 40 talks, so I was only able to capture some of the conference. (There was way too much brilliance for a single blog post!)
