You missed the golden days of linkedin parasite SEO :(

I keep hearing people say they’re getting Local SEO clients directly from LinkedIn — especially service-area businesses dealing with GBP issues, reviews, and visibility drops. If you’re actually closing Local SEO deals here… How are you doing it? Content? Outreach? Comments? Something else...

I’ve been seeing more people talk about landing Local SEO clients through Facebook lately — especially with business owners posting about slow calls, GBP issues, bad reviews, etc. If you’ve had success getting local clients from Facebook, how did you do it? What’s actually working for you right...

Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity — they all use Reddit as a high-signal training source. Did you know If something gets said on Reddit often enough, LLMs start repeating it as fact?

Forget visibility, nail being helpful.

Alright boys, what’s really going on here? Been messing with Reddit + Quora mentions for the last few weeks and… yeah, something’s off. LLMs are sucking this stuff up like it’s gospel. Not backlinks. Not SEO signals. Just random people talking, and the models treat it like “community...

We’re definitely in the first real wave of AI-layer SEO, and the tactics are getting weird fast. Nobody’s talking about PBNs or parasite plays anymore. The new battleground is AI retrieval—basically influencing what LLMs think is true or credible about a brand. And, obviously, the black-hat...

Yes — AI-generated content can rank. But the trick isn’t the generation… it’s the refinement. If you run raw AI output through a solid editor/humanizer (Surfer’s is one option), clean up the structure, and make sure the content is actually helpful, it becomes extremely hard to detect — and even...

The obvious answer is blocking LLM bots in robots.txt. But jokes aside, any site relying on more than HTML / CSS / JS for its front end without doing serious performance and rendering work is kinda cooked.

AI Agents.

One thing I’m seeing: content velocity matters more than ever. Nathan Gotch mentioned he grew Rankability’s traffic mostly by publishing a ton of “C-level” content quickly, then upgrading the pieces that gained traction. That model seems to outperform the slow-and-perfect approach right now.

Use SEMrush to identify your domain’s primary category. Then pull the backlink profiles of your top competitors. Compile the backlinks that fall within that same category. Identify the sites giving them contextual do-follow link insertions. Run an outreach campaign to secure similar placements...
