How to Influence AI Search Recommendations for Your Brand

There are two ways to influence how often AI recommends your brand: the easy way and the hard way. The easy way is showing up in the search results that AI models pull from when answering a question. When someone asks ChatGPT or Google’s AI for a recommendation, the model runs a series of background […]

You don’t have to choose between Google Ads and SEO. They target different users, and running both doesn’t mean you’re competing with yourself.

Google Search is becoming AI search. That’s a direct quote from Nick Fox, Google’s Senior Vice President of Knowledge and Information, the executive who oversees Search, Ads, and Commerce. If there was any remaining doubt that AI search is going to replace traditional Google results, Google’s own leadership just removed it. At TJ Digital, we […]

Yes, you should absolutely use AI to write your blog posts. But the way most people are doing it is a waste of time, and in some cases it’s actively hurting their website. I get this question constantly at TJ Digital, where we’ve spent thousands of hours developing and refining AI content workflows for clients […]

Ranking in AI search is trivial. If your page is indexed and reasonably relevant to the query, it will show up in the result set. The hard part is getting cited, and even harder still, getting your brand recommended to the user. At TJ Digital, we’ve been tracking over 1,500 prompts across 30 industries specifically […]

The Google Workspace CLI is a unified command-line tool that gives AI agents direct access to Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Sheets, and Calendar through a single interface. It was built not for humans to type commands, but for AI agents to use software on our behalf. At TJ Digital, where we help small and […]

How AI Uses Industry Awards to Decide Who to Recommend

When AI gets asked to recommend a business, it doesn’t just pull from what it already knows. It runs a series of background searches first, and one of the most common searches it performs is “[your industry] awards.” Businesses that know this tend to show up in AI recommendations far more often than those that […]

Google just filed a patent describing a system that would replace your website’s landing pages with AI-generated versions, personalized for each individual user. A lot of SEOs and business owners are worried about it. I think it’s worth paying attention to. At TJ Digital, one of the most reliably effective tactics we use for clients […]

How AI Search Works: What It Means for Your SEO Strategy

AI search works by taking a user’s query, breaking it into multiple related sub-searches, pulling content from across the top results, and synthesizing a single answer. For businesses, that changes almost everything about how you should think about visibility. At TJ Digital, this is the core of what we do. The shift from traditional SEO […]

The way customers find and vet businesses is changing fast. Within the next few years, a significant portion of buying decisions won’t start with a human typing into Google. They’ll start with an AI agent that already knows what the customer needs, what your competitors offer, and what your website says about you. At TJ […]
