The difference between SEO and being a genius is that not every genius thinks they do SEO.
Everyone's trying to name the next era of search. a16z backs GEO, HubSpot sells AEO, Google says it's all SEO. We analyzed what the fight was all about on Wikipedia to see who was doing it. seobandwagon.com/research/ge…
Let our agents handle your busy work. You decide what your business stands for. You run the business, not the other way around.
AI tools build their answers from what's already out there, your listing, your site, your reviews. Placement still starts at home. You need a domain and you need a website.
Search changed the shape, the conversation moved, the goal didn't. Be where your customers are having the conversation, stay in their consideration, and give them an offer.

Don’t beg for backlinks.
Use this prompt to find articles linking to outdated statistics, broken sources, or obsolete research.
Then create a better resource they can cite.
Copy this prompt:
“Act as an investigative SEO researcher.
My website: [URL]
My niche: [NICHE]
Find 20 articles in my niche that cite outdated statistics, broken sources, or obsolete research.
For each, provide:
The exact article URL
The outdated or weak citation
Why it needs updating
A better resource I could create
A personalized outreach email
Prioritize relevant, authoritative websites with verified opportunities. Never invent URLs or statistics.
Finally, identify 3 resources I could publish that have the potential to earn backlinks from multiple publishers.”

So basically
Google paid Reddit $65m
Reddit USED to get 25 BILLION clicks a year from Google
Google said that data = AI Overviews
AI Overviews = NO CLICKS TO REDDIT
NO CLICKS TO REDDIT = A LOT MORE THAN $65M
The collapse of Reddit will be studied.
After reporting earnings, its stock collapsed 30% in a single day.
It's down 44% in 2 weeks.
But the most important detail is what was revealed in that earnings call.
The CEO said AI is killing Google search.
People no longer get sent to Reddit from Google. They merely get their answers from the AI Mode itself.
Even Google confirmed this themselves with their disastrous results - AI mode is cannibalising their search business.
Pretty soon, no one will visit Reddit voluntarily. Its traffic will continue to crater.
The worst part?
Reddit isn't alone. There are millions of companies and publishers that rely on search traffic.
That's what happens when you rely on a single funnel for discovery.

You don’t need a massive marketing budget to get your first customers.
You need distribution.
My strategy:
→ Start with 10 relevant platforms.
→ Prioritize free submissions.
→ Write unique descriptions.
→ Track referral traffic and signups.
→ Double down on what converts.
Some platforms require payment or approval, so check their submission rules.
Don’t just build your startup.
Get it in front of people.
Bookmark this list for your next launch.

ChatGPT's crawler doesn't run your JavaScript.
So if your pricing only renders in the browser, it never sees it.
Vercel watched the AI bots crawling their network.
GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot?
NONE of them ran it.
GPTBot and ClaudeBot even downloaded the JS files.
They just never executed them.
Google's crawler does run it.
That's how a page can rank on Google and still look empty to ChatGPT.
30 second check for yours:
Turn JavaScript off in your browser.
Open your pricing page.
What's left is roughly what those bots read.
I built my readiness test to read pages the same way, HTML only.
Blank page?
Server render that one first 🔥

Are SEOs actually scared AI will take their jobs?
Rather than guess, I want data.
I’m surveying SEO/search professionals about AI, job security, career anxiety, and how sentiment has changed over the past year.

Plug your website in this prompt to find backlink opportunities -
Act as an SEO backlink researcher.
Your job is to find REAL, actionable backlink opportunities for the website below.
Website: [WEBSITE URL]
First, analyze the website to understand:
The primary niche
Main topics and content pillars
Target audience
Products, services, or affiliate topics covered
Geographic focus, if relevant
Then research backlink opportunities that are highly relevant to this specific website.
Prioritize backlinks that a small website owner can realistically obtain.
Look for opportunities across these categories:
Niche Directories
Find legitimate directories, associations, resource databases, and niche-specific listing sites where this website could be added.
Resource Pages
Find websites with "resources," "recommended websites," "useful links," "helpful resources," or similar pages that could reasonably link to this website.
List Posts
Find articles such as:
Best [niche] websites
Best [niche] blogs
Useful [niche] resources
Top [niche] tools
[Topic] resources
Identify pages where this website could reasonably be added.
Competitor Backlinks
Identify websites linking to similar or competing websites that may also be willing to link to this site.
Focus especially on backlinks that appear repeatable rather than one-off editorial mentions.
Guest Contributions
Find websites in or adjacent to the niche that accept:
Guest posts
Contributor articles
Expert commentary
Interviews
Founder stories
Case studies
Broken or Outdated Resources
Look for pages linking to dead, outdated, redirected, or weak resources where content from this website could serve as a better replacement.
Unlinked Mention Opportunities
Search for mentions of the website, brand, founder, products, research, or unique concepts that do not currently link back to the site.
Community and Profile Links
Find legitimate organizations, communities, professional profiles, marketplaces, local organizations, or industry platforms where creating a profile can result in a relevant backlink.
Statistics / Data / Citation Opportunities
Identify articles that cite statistics, studies, examples, or data related to topics covered by the website. Suggest content the website could create that would give those publishers a reason to cite it.
Linkable Asset Opportunities
Based on the backlinks competitors are earning, identify 3–5 pieces of content this website could create specifically to attract links, such as:
Statistics pages
Original research
Calculators
Templates
Checklists
Maps
Industry directories
Comparison studies
Surveys
Free tools
IMPORTANT:
Do not give generic backlink advice.
Find actual websites and actual pages whenever possible.
Do not invent URLs or backlink opportunities.
Verify that each page exists before including it.
Avoid obvious spam, link farms, PBNs, low-quality directories, scraped websites, and sites created primarily to sell backlinks.
Prioritize:
High topical relevance
Realistic likelihood of earning the link
Free opportunities
Sites with real organic visibility or legitimate audiences
Opportunities competitors have already demonstrated are obtainable
For each opportunity provide:
| Website | Opportunity URL | Backlink Type | Why It's Relevant | How to Get the Link | Difficulty | Free/Paid | Priority |
Rate Difficulty as:
Easy
Medium
Hard
Rate Priority as:
High
Medium
Low
Return at least 25 legitimate backlink opportunities if enough quality opportunities exist.
Do not pad the list with weak opportunities simply to reach 25.
After the table, provide:
5 Backlinks I Would Pursue First
Identify the five highest-value realistic opportunities and explain the exact action I should take.
Competitor Backlink Patterns
Explain any repeatable backlink strategies competitors in this niche appear to be using.
Backlink Content Opportunities
Suggest 5 pieces of content I could create that would make this website significantly easier to earn backlinks to.
Outreach Angles
For the best backlink opportunities, give me a short personalized outreach angle explaining why the publisher might actually want to link to my website.
The goal is not to generate the largest backlink list possible.
The goal is to uncover backlinks I could realistically go acquire this week.
