My hope is to help you understand how Google Search is changing. AI changes everything.
In 2012 an obsession over understanding Google’s Penguin Algorithm, lead me to pursue SEO as a full time career. Since then I’ve had such a cool career. I’ve travelled around the world to speak at conferences and help site owners improve in ways that Google’s algorithms will reward. I ran a wonderful agency. I’m back to doing solo work now. Through my podcast and newsletter I have been able to help thousands improve their site quality and win more search presence.
I’ll be resuming podcast soon, now that my helpful content guide is finally complete. Stay tuned for info about upcoming talks as I’ll be teaching on AI and how it is changing not only search, but our lives as well!
