ChatGPT 5.1 is out. It’s doing what OpenAI promised 5.0 would do. But here’s the thing: I maintain subscriptions to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini because each is the best at different tasks. About 70% of my work happens in Claude. Each model has distinct strengths. ChatGPT excels at research and information retrieval. Claude produces the […]

The simplest way to increase your visibility in ChatGPT is to add the current year to your page titles. Large language models append the year to their search queries to find recent content. By including “2025” in your H1 and meta title, you directly match these AI queries and signal freshness. Your title is the […]

Hiring a marketing agency is expensive and risky. You’ll depend on them for lead generation, ad spend, and your brand reputation. To avoid getting ripped off, focus on three things: verify the founder or strategist is actively doing marketing (not just managing), demand they track real business metrics like leads and customer acquisition cost (not […]

There’s a lot of conflicting information about how to rank in ChatGPT and other AI search platforms. Just this week, I’ve seen people say that ChatGPT hates press releases. In my experience, they love press releases. I’ve heard that ChatGPT never cites Reddit and that ChatGPT is always citing Reddit. Another person I respect said […]

AI is transforming entry-level white-collar jobs, but it’s not simply eliminating them. AI can already match or exceed the average entry-level worker at tasks like graphic design, copywriting, software development, and marketing strategy. However, AI can’t yet handle the context awareness and autonomous decision-making required to fully replace human workers. Instead, the nature of these […]

Google’s Gemini 3.0 represents a significant leap forward in AI capabilities. Based on leaked benchmarks and the official model card, this model outperforms its predecessor across multiple metrics and rivals leading competitors like GPT-5.1 and Claude 4.5. But the real story isn’t just about benchmark numbers. It’s about what Gemini 3.0 means for the future […]

AI use in the workplace is becoming normalized, but the conversation is shifting. A year ago, getting caught using ChatGPT to draft an email felt universally embarrassing. Today, the question isn’t whether you used AI. It’s how you’re using it. My prediction: within a few years, using AI to sharpen your writing or work more […]

Traffic from ChatGPT converts at 23 times the rate of traffic from Google. That’s what Ahrefs found when they analyzed visitors to their own website. While conversion rates vary by industry, I’ve seen multiple studies on this, and the lowest I’ve encountered shows about eight times the conversion rate of traditional search. The reason is […]

Getting recommended by ChatGPT isn’t as hard as recent studies make it seem. While data shows that 67% of ChatGPT’s citations come from “unreachable” sources like Wikipedia, this statistic is misleading for businesses. For commercial queries where someone is looking for a product or service recommendation, nearly all citations are influenceable through strategic content creation. […]
