Everyone brags about studying 4 million brands. Nobody asks who actually owns that data, or whether it's real. Our latest research did something different. 39 businesses. Real data. Full access to Google Search Console, Google Business Profile, and infrastructure from one of the largest SEO analytics providers in the world. Here's why ordinary consulting firms can't replicate this: 1️⃣ No infrastructure to process at this scale 2️⃣ No client base with 4M+ data points 3️⃣ No access to enterprise-grade tooling 4️⃣ No methodology built for peer scrutiny 5️⃣ No expert review process "Data-driven" is thrown around constantly. This is what it actually looks like. Watch the full breakdown 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=ovBrKx… @HundleyJake @edwardeachday

So here’s my takeaway from today’s podcast - look out for it tomorrow with @edwardeachday Google has spent probably $1t on infrastructure for SEO Pops at evry ISP, gkobal data centers. Crawling centers, technology , Google Maps, mapping systems, cloud infrastructure It didn’t reinvent the byte. Or video being based on individual files/frames - it scaled it It doesn’t need to save money on dibedinv space 1 it needs to reduce those of several space which it didn’t though virtualization and abstraction - same as azure and awe. LLMs can’t raise $10t and blow that on catching up to wheee Google is today As you can see with ChatGPT it couldn’t even stomach being handcuffed to Bing - ergo the SerpApi lawsuit Google is the web telephone directory + DNS = the www file system Cc @LarsLofgren @glenngabe @nathangotch @rustybrick

Super interesting podcast tomorrow with @edwardeachday and a founder of a new AI fashion content tool that helps small businesses stand out in AI …..

Grokipedia isn't designed to manipulate search.

🔍 My 2 hypotheses about the latest GCU are proving correct: 1️⃣ Google is tightening Authority 2️⃣ Scaled/pSEO content is going up in flames 🔥 Seeing more and more reports of pages simply not getting indexed. It's accelerating. If your traffic tanked and your content was AI-assisted + low-authority — this update was for you. 👀 Anyone else tracking this? 👇 #SEO #GoogleUpdate #pSEO #GCUMay26 cc @jonathandenwood @edwardeachday @gaganghotra_ @harpreetchatha_
