Hey y’all!
I read that gratitude helps you sleep better at night in a friend’s book (more info in the p.s.🙂). Practicing gratitude before snoozing is said to lift you out of racing negative thoughts and place you in a more positive headspace. It makes sense and, hopefully, it can bring a refreshingly grateful perspective to your everyday life!
Now, let’s switch gears ⚙️ into the latest in AI, search, and social!
- How do you stay visible as AI transforms SEO? 🤖 In this Martech article, AI is replacing search engines as a go-to source for quick answers and this “shift means potential customers have less incentive to click through to your website.”
Our POV? It all depends on the types of questions being asked (i.e., the intent of the searcher and the quality of the responses being generated by AI).ALSO… the article mentions creating unique content that connotes expertise to attract the AI chatbots. This aligns with Google’s E-E-A-T strategy and our new dual SEO/SAIO strategy. Read the article, and follow DBE’s SEO and SAIO Strategy for updates!
- Google Search Generative Experience (SGE) just got one level cooler. 😎 It can now use AI to create images and assist with your writing. There are many awesome tools that can do these things very well, will Google stack up? We’ll see….
- What is RGSP? It stands for Google’s Randomized Generalized Second-Price. Ad Rank determines who wins in Google’s ad auctions, However, when a few bidders meet all the criteria, RGSP comes in. It is a practice leveraged by Google that picks the winner of an ad auction at random from the top bidders as long as their long-term values are close enough. Apparently, the DOJ has some issues on this in the company’s antitrust case.
