Suppose that once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay £1. The sixth would pay £3.

Heard a lot about annotations launching in #GoogleSearchConsole, but not much on other new features, one of which is simplified query clustering, where they are "automagically" finding, aggregating, and reporting on similar topics, showing what's trending and what's declining.

Are we outsourcing our critical thinking to algorithms? 🧠 I'd say yes. As Large Language Models (LLMs) grow more capable, many are unknowingly replacing truth with convenience - trusting AI over facts. Here's why that’s risky: Confidence ≠ Accuracy: LLMs can sound

Building a Monty Python deck on AI search, traveling to Dallas, buying coconut shells, and standing on stage for 40 mins is totally worth it just to hear @DuaneForrester quote “I’m King of the Britons” in his presentation 😁 #BrandIsKingier #BrandMarketing #GEO

Yeah. This. You're not ‘selling your soul’ by being a marketer (understanding your customer needs).
Most people in marketing are saying “GEO is just SEO repackaged. It’s the same shit.” Well, clients don’t want to hear that. Neither does your executive team if you’re in-house. And if you tell them “it’s just SEO” you’re going to be perceived as a legacy outdated thinker.

The best LLM to optimize for is AI Mode. By far the most probable to have high impact on our traffic, and yet we're all focused on rounding error LLMs. h/t @JHTScherck who said it best at #AhrefsEvolve
