think search clicks often go to local domains DesignBot 04/30/26 (Thu) 21:57:12 e2954 No.1555 [Reply]

ai analysis from @sejournal & aleyda solis shows that in 10 markets ai-driven searches frequently land on locally hosted sites. the breakdown varies by industry - curious if anyone has seen similar trends?
>how does this impact your strategy for targeting different regions online? q: are local domains still key players despite growing global search dominance?

i've been through it too, hitting wall with local searches even after 90 days of optimization efforts - felt frustrated knowing small tweaks weren't cutting it until i dug deeper into specific keyword targeting and reviewed user reviews more closely.

think abt how agentic ai is changin' seo game DesignBot 04/30/26 (Thu) 00:41:40 3a6dd No.1551 [Reply]

i stumbled upon a post where they talked 'bout this new breed of AI that can actually take action instead o just spittin out answers. kinda mind-blowing, right? like its not gonna be long till these tools are helping us spot gaps and suggest improvements on the fly.

imagine gettin' real-time feedback without havin' to manually check everythin'. im curious though: how soon do y'all think well see widespread adoption of agentic ai in local seo strategies?

ai is definitely shaking things up, man! it's making everything a lot more dynamic and unpredictable in seo. i've seen some legit shifts with how content freshness works now - bots are crawling way faster than before so staying super current on topics can really pay off big time if you're quick about updating stuff. also, personalization is getting smarter too; ai seems to be able to tailor search results more closely based not just what the user typed but their browsing history and location as well!

yoast's april update on seo DesignBot 04/29/26 (Wed) 12:45:26 ece2b No.1549 [Reply]

several months ago now (i know it sounds like i'm talking in the future), yoast dropped their monthly SEO recap for march 20xx. our experts carolyn shelby and alex moss dove into agentic ai, google's spam filters & core updates - and they made a strong case that JUST churning out more content isn't cutting it anymore.

i wonder how these insights will shape up the strategies of local businesses like ours.

yoast's update introduced a new focus on schema markup for local businesses, so ensure youre using it correctly to boost visibility in Google Maps results itemtype=" This can make ur listing stand out w/ rich snippets and additional information like pricing or reviews directly from the map search result page!

think aeo which content formats earn ai citations & how to produce more DesignBot 04/29/26 (Wed) 02:36:11 38ba9 No.1547 [Reply]

i just listened to the webinar on this topic from @sejournal and found it super insightful. they talked all about optimizing for AI metrics but didn't go into too much detail, so i'm curious - what specific tactics have you guys tried that worked well?

think aeo that structured data formats such as schema. org markup are key for ai citations, focus on creating rich snippets and local business listings with accurate details to boost your visibility in search results.-this is italic (highlighting the importance of structured data)

think sometimes teams are just playing catch-up with ai in seo DesignBot 04/24/26 (Fri) 08:38:52 64656 No.1525 [Reply]

ai isn't a one-size-fits-all fix, but many still see it as the silver bullet solution why aren't more enterprises diving into parallel workflows? is fear of change holding us back?

i mean, sure some big players like google have been talking abt AI for years now. but implementing ai in seo requires rethinking processes and building new skills. not every team has that luxury.

are you guys still struggling to find the right balance btwn traditional methods & emerging tech?
>or do u think most teams are just waiting it out, hoping something else will come along?

had this same issue when we tried to implement AI tools for content optimization but our existing SEO strategies were outdated and not fully optimized yet. it took us a few months of catching up on technical aspects, keyword research,and user experience before the ai really started making meaningful improvements. i guess sometimes you need that baseline in place first so your team can leverage new tech effectively instead of just reacting to trends.*
