This is why we can’t measure “success” by standard attribution.

read @nickleroy.com ‘s latest email and couldn’t agree more! “Today’s long tail lives in social feeds. TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Stories drive discovery passively, one scroll at a time.”

i always search on TT and go to Google last when i’m ready to find the address or make a purchase

Should you create "best X" articles to influence LLMs?

The short answer: it's complicated.

There has been some negative takes on this approach as of late, so I wanted to have @nickleroy.com on to respectfully debate when and how it might make sense to do.

Had a great chat with @suzzicks.bsky.social the other week about Google’s 4S framework and how it’s killing long-tail search…on Google.

The long tail isn’t dead, it’s just moved to YouTube, TikTok & podcasts, etc.

This is the topic of this week's #SEOForLunch 👇

The Long Tail Search Has Died. It's All Happening Outside of Google.

SEOs for years relied on "top of funnel" queries to drive brand awareness. Users are evolving and so has how they search for information.

Attribution is broken and "It depends” doesn’t cut it anymore. Time to roll up your sleeves and identify your own success metrics.

With these new AI tools, crawling tools, and way too many Chrome browser tabs... I'm sick of maxing out my RAM on the regular.

What laptop do you recommend? I'm a PC guy currently using XPS 15 7590

How I’m Using AI Without Replacing Myself

"Do more with less" is code for “cut headcount.” Let’s make sure yours isn’t on the chopping block. Leverage AI for speed/scale not training your replacement.
