What I Write About
I write about technical SEO, content strategy, local search, ecommerce and AI search visibility. Some articles share research findings; others work through a specific decision, such as planning internal links, comparing AI visibility tools or understanding how Google’s AI answers car-related searches.
I focus on what the findings mean for a business, the work needed to act on them and the limits of the available data.
