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 […]

Is AI Use Being Normalized? The Future of AI in the Workplace

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 […]

Why ChatGPT Traffic Converts at 23x the Rate of Google Search

Split-screen digital illustration showing a user browsing traditional Google search results on the left and interacting with a ChatGPT interface recommending a product with a 'Visit Site' button on the right.

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 […]

Ranking in ChatGPT: What Actually Works

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. […]

How to Build a Content Machine

A content machine takes one low-effort input and turns it into multiple high-quality pieces of content. You record a short video or share your expertise once, and AI helps you create blog posts, social media content, Reddit posts, and more—all in your voice. The goal is simple: take your expertise and turn it into content […]

Can Your SEO Agency Do GEO?

A side-by-side comparison showing a traditional SEO search results page on the left with blue links, and an AI chatbot interface on the right displaying a conversational answer with citations. A central search bar connects both sides, illustrating unified search strategy.

You don’t need a separate agency for AI optimization. If your current SEO agency is telling you they can’t handle GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), that’s a red flag. The strategy and process for ranking in ChatGPT is similar enough to traditional SEO that splitting this work between two agencies creates inefficiency and confusion. Over the […]

Blog Content is Not Dead

Blog content is not dead. Certain types of blog posts are actually getting more traffic from search engines right now than they were in 2023. I can prove it with data from Siege Media’s recent study. While everyone’s declaring blogs obsolete, the numbers tell a different story. The real shift is in which types of […]

ChatGPT Atlas & The Browser Wars: What It Means for Your Business in 2025

Futuristic web browser interface with AI circuitry, featuring floating logos of ChatGPT Atlas, Perplexity Comet, and Google Chrome with Gemini above the interface, set against a dark digital background with glowing light beams.

OpenAI just announced ChatGPT Atlas, their own web browser. The browser wars are officially underway. This matters because whoever controls the browser controls how billions of people find information and make purchasing decisions. Right now, Chrome dominates with roughly 65-70% of global browser usage. But OpenAI, Perplexity, and Google are all fighting to own the […]

How AEO Can Put You in the Top 2%

Right now, only about 2% of businesses are making a significant investment in AI Engine Optimization (AEO). That means 98% of your competition isn’t even participating in what’s shaping up to be the biggest shift in digital marketing since Google SEO. This creates a rare window of opportunity where early adopters can claim prime visibility […]
