Welcome to Practical Rebels
0:02
. How are we doing over here ? V ?
0:04
I'm good . I'm very confused about how you're
0:06
sitting right now .
0:07
It's comfortable .
0:09
Ramsey is leaning back in his chair . The
0:11
mic is resting on
0:14
his body . Yes , it is
0:16
.
0:17
You should try it . And
0:19
our friend of the show , logan yeah
0:21
, it's nice , right , it's a nice
0:23
feel it is nice .
0:25
I'm trying it for the first time . I used to just let the
0:27
microphone sit on the table , but I realized
0:29
that was stupid , so now I'm
0:32
resting it on my body , you know I was watching
0:34
.
0:34
I was watching a lot of tiktoks and I was like man
0:36
, look at him holding that microphone . That looks comfortable
0:38
. Yeah , let me try that . And so we did , and
0:40
I'm locked in like I'd
0:43
like to get everybody like
0:45
this .
0:45
All right , well , we'll work on that , but first
0:48
first friend
0:50
, friend of the show .
0:52
What are we talking about today ?
0:54
We're talking about zero click marketing , and
0:57
if you don't know what that is , we'll talk about it soon .
1:01
So I'm really excited to learn about this because
1:03
it's you know , as we
1:05
are constantly working
1:07
in the world of search , things are constantly
1:09
changing , and this
1:11
is something that started to pop up last year
1:13
when we started to see the AI
1:16
overviews being implemented within Google
1:18
, and I think we're starting to see the impact
1:20
of that rolling out , and Logan's
1:22
been doing a little bit of research lately , digging
1:24
into what this means for
1:27
the way that search has been approached up
1:29
to this point . So
1:33
we're going to dig in a little bit and learn more about this from Logan and how we can use
1:35
this to better up our search game
1:37
.
1:38
Yeah , and we're all going to learn together , because a lot
1:40
of times this stuff comes out and then
1:42
two or three months later it changes . So
1:44
you can't ever . You
1:46
can be an expert at it , but you also
1:49
have to be studious and willing
1:51
to always be not wrong
1:53
, but like just be willing to be
1:55
like hey , stuff changed , we got to
1:57
do something different now . So , and that's what
1:59
this is all about .
2:01
All right , so go ahead , get in it . What
2:04
is zero click ?
2:06
well , just in general , it
2:08
is almost exactly what it sounds like
2:10
. So , with content marketing
2:13
specifically , think about
2:15
google search , blogging and things like that
2:17
. Whenever you type a search query into google
2:19
, it used to be about getting the
2:21
click , and that's why so many people were
2:23
doing blogs , and blogging
2:25
in general is because it was a great way to get click-through
2:28
rate onto your website . But
2:30
now and I'm not telling anyone
2:32
anything new here , because you've all seen it since
2:34
last year the AI overview in Google
2:36
that makes it
2:39
so that so many people are getting the answers
2:41
to their questions without clicking on anything
2:43
. People are getting the answers to their questions
2:46
without clicking on anything . So
2:54
zero-click marketing is an approach where you're structuring your content and
2:56
your strategy specifically to rank in the AI overview
2:58
so that you can get as much
3:00
of your content in front of people without
3:03
them having to click on it , and it is
3:05
different . It's a different approach because
3:08
you're , like I said , you're structuring your content
3:10
specifically to get into that
3:12
little window at the top , and
3:19
that doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to get a click . It just means that you're
3:21
going to get in that window , and I will talk a little bit more about
3:23
like what exactly that means , because I know
3:25
a lot of people they're thinking , okay
3:27
, well , great , how does that help me ?
3:29
you know what I mean .
3:30
So yeah , but that's really the . That's
3:33
the watered down version of zero click and
3:35
but it's . It's ubiquitous all over marketing
3:37
, it's in social media , it's all this stuff . So just
3:40
people are clicking less right
3:42
in general .
3:43
Right , yeah , they're clicking less and social as well
3:45
yeah , not getting as much
3:47
um , but you know the ai
3:49
. So basically what you're saying is how
3:51
to market to a
3:54
strategy to the ai .
3:55
Yeah , so you get pop up
3:58
in front of the
4:00
the actual links below
4:02
yeah , absolutely , because
4:05
you have to scroll down quite a bit now past
4:08
paid , paid search and
4:11
ai overview . I
4:13
forgot what the number is . I don't know if top my head it's
4:15
an average of 980 pixels
4:17
between search and ai overviews
4:19
before you even get to the number
4:22
one organic search rank . So
4:24
that's significant .
4:26
And I have a question because it's
4:28
not always . You always
4:31
don't get the AI overview
4:33
. Is it only when people are searching
4:35
for a specific thing ?
4:38
I'm pretty sure it's whenever Google has determined
4:40
that it has enough
4:43
search to crawl to spit
4:46
out an ai overview yeah because sometimes
4:48
you put in a search query and there's just the search
4:50
volume is too low and there's or maybe no
4:52
one's answered that specific question yet
4:55
. But usually for these high volume searches
4:58
you're going to get an ai
5:00
overview because it's high volume and google
5:02
has decided that it needs an
5:04
ai overview and that's what they and Google has decided that it needs an AI overview , and that's
5:07
what they want anyways . They want people on Google
5:10
. They want people to stay on Google . They don't necessarily
5:12
always want you to click away
5:14
and go off their search engine
5:16
. They want you just to be using their search engine all day
5:18
.
5:20
And one of the things that I'm noticing you found in
5:22
the research you've been done , 58.5%
5:25
of all US-based searches in Google
5:27
are zero-click searches . So
5:29
people are searching for it , but does
5:31
that mean they're not actually clicking through to a website
5:33
at all ? They found the information there .
5:35
Yeah , and we got that from NP
5:38
Digital . It's
5:40
a really great one to sign up for , if y'all don't know , for
5:42
newsletter stuff . But yeah , that's
5:45
exactly it . Over half of all
5:47
US-based searches people aren't
5:49
clicking at all . They get their answer and
5:51
they're off to do whatever it is
5:53
they were doing before that .
5:55
So that's , crazy .
5:57
One search , no clicks .
5:59
So that's a really good case for diversifying
6:01
your marketing content strategy .
6:04
Yeah , absolutely for diversifying your marketing
6:07
content strategy . Yeah , absolutely , because
6:09
the way people are structuring their content now whenever they're
6:11
blogging is totally different , and we can
6:13
talk about this now . I don't know if we'll talk about it later , but
6:16
a lot of bullets . You know
6:18
that it used to be . They wanted the long
6:20
form essay style content because
6:23
that's what ranked well . Now
6:25
, whenever you're thinking of writing an article
6:27
, it looks much more like
6:29
a lot of bullets , faqs
6:32
, um , you know , and stuff
6:34
like that . You have to think of something that
6:36
summarizes nicely
6:38
in that little ai window
6:40
and whenever you're looking at your content
6:43
, if you can't imagine it fitting in that
6:45
window , it's probably not going to get in there . So
6:48
, um , that's why a lot of people are , you
6:50
know , like I said , using faq
6:53
style stuff really short structured
6:55
, a lot of h2s and h3s
6:58
, headings and
7:00
bulleted lists . Google
7:02
ai loves a bulleted list
7:04
. So anytime you can summarize your
7:07
key takeaways in
7:09
an article in something that's very
7:11
easy to digest in that little
7:13
window , it gives you a better chance .
7:16
I think the great thing about that , too , though , is
7:18
I think that's the natural progression of all
7:20
types of content . Like when you think
7:23
about whenever we're developing social content
7:25
especially like we work very heavily with one client
7:27
to do all of their LinkedIn strategy and their content
7:29
and it's can be
7:31
heavily kind of dense informational
7:34
stuff , um , but
7:36
you're able to take that and break that down into
7:39
several smaller , digestible posts
7:41
as opposed to , like some really long
7:43
form piece that , honestly
7:45
, a fraction of the people are actually going to
7:48
scroll through and read the whole
7:50
thing .
7:51
Yeah , and people , and if , if anyone
7:53
uses WordPress or anything like that and
7:55
they use EOS , you'll see that there's like a
7:57
readability score in the backend
7:59
and usually what that means is
8:01
that if your readability score
8:03
is really high , that means that your content
8:05
is easy to read , and I think that
8:08
this is something that's not new . This is something
8:10
that's been going on for a while . But
8:12
really you want everything that
8:14
you're writing , whether that's social media
8:17
, whether that's on your website
8:19
, whatever you want everything to be just
8:22
so easy to read at a glance
8:24
, because you have people's
8:27
attention spans are shrinking
8:30
, so you have less of a window
8:32
of opportunity to catch their attention and to
8:34
give them the information they need . There
8:37
are some , you know . Linkedin , I
8:39
would say , is probably where people like
8:41
to go a little bit long winded
8:43
, a little bit more , and people do appreciate that
8:46
style . Um , but even LinkedIn
8:48
, you know , you're seeing people do more of the bulleted
8:50
list style stuff and just
8:53
kind of those quick takeaways , because people want
8:55
those little bite size like Ooh , that was really
8:57
really cool , like that , I just learned something
8:59
really neat , but now I'm going to move on with the rest of
9:01
my day because I can't sit here , and
9:03
you know , read a two
9:06
, three thousand word article that
9:08
feels like a book , so yeah
9:10
, and I think that's , even
9:13
if you are like that's a good approach to take to
9:15
anything , because there is still the
9:17
place for longer form blog content . We do
9:19
it . It's organic search over time . But
9:21
the more you can take your content and break it down into
9:24
smaller pieces , the more likely people
9:26
are to actually read the whole thing , and
9:28
I mean the new hotel stuff that you're referencing is
9:30
a great example of that . That's exactly how he formats
9:32
all of this content yeah , and
9:34
it's um .
9:35
It's not only that it's formatted that way , but it's
9:37
diverse . Um , I
9:40
mean , there's just so many different ways to
9:42
digest the same content
9:44
within the same article . Like
9:47
I said earlier , with FAQs you can put
9:49
like a little chart in there and , you
9:52
know , you can reiterate what you've already said . But
9:54
visually , one
9:57
thing I know we've been we
9:59
talked about with the article that we did
10:01
that we turned into a podcast about
10:06
. With the article that we did that we turned into a
10:08
podcast , you could even link a link to a podcast episode about if you know , if you have your
10:10
own podcast and you're using um , you're doing
10:12
blog content on top of that link
10:15
to a podcast episode on there so
10:17
that people can click on it and listen to the podcast
10:19
. Um , there's just so many different
10:21
ways that you can get people
10:23
to consume your content on one page
10:26
and I think that the more
10:28
diversity of content you can add
10:30
, the easier it's going to be , because you
10:32
kind of give people options . You know , and
10:34
say , like you know , I don't really know if I want
10:36
to sit here and read this whole article , but I will
10:39
read this , the key takeaways
10:41
at the top , and that's another thing people
10:43
are doing . They're saying basically
10:45
giving you an outcome before you even
10:47
get into the article at the top
10:49
is like key takeaways and there's
10:51
maybe five bullet points . In that
10:53
way it's like if you don't have time to read this whole
10:55
article and you just need to move on
10:57
to the next thing , here are the five big
10:59
themes and if you
11:01
just want to read those and turn the page , that's cool
11:04
yeah , yeah , that makes a lot of
11:06
sense .
11:06
And then you know , I think that's also
11:08
giving the kind of content junkies an opportunity
11:10
to really dig deeper if they want
11:13
to . But you're kind of killing two birds with one
11:15
stone with that approach .
11:15
It sounds like yeah , absolutely , and I think
11:18
it's just the um giving people
11:20
the choice , yeah
11:36
, and I think that through that , it shows that you're a little bit more
11:38
in tune with like what ? Yeah , the best ones , because
11:41
I know it's going to be good every time I click on
11:43
it . And if I get some junk email
11:45
where I'm just like this newsletter is no good or
11:48
this article is probably going to be no good , you know
11:50
you don't get that that return reader
11:52
readership every single time
11:54
, like some of these other blogs do , yeah , um , what has been like ? So this is all
11:57
obviously generative
11:59
AI .
11:59
What has been like ? So this
12:01
is all obviously generative AI . Who
12:08
is to say that ? What's ?
12:09
getting pulled is necessarily accurate . Well , that's a I mean , that's a huge
12:11
problem too . So a lot
12:13
of you know it used
12:15
to be whenever blogging in general
12:17
was mostly people who
12:20
knew how to write . Yeah
12:22
, so with , but with chat
12:24
, gpt , you know , whenever
12:26
, I guess a lot of people said you
12:28
know , I don't , I don't necessarily need
12:30
a copywriter to help me with blogging anymore
12:32
, I could just throw , you
12:35
know , chat , gpt or whatever AI
12:38
flavor you like and just
12:40
throw articles up that way . So that's
12:43
kind of been . Another issue is
12:45
that , even though there's I don't
12:47
know what the number is off the top of my head , but there's
12:49
more people making content online
12:51
than ever before , so
12:54
and that's a lot of it's because of AI
12:56
.
12:57
So it's a good thing and a bad thing .
12:59
It's a good thing and a bad thing . One thing it does
13:01
is it removes that barrier to entry thing
13:05
. What one thing it does is it removes that barrier to entry . Right now , people who didn't
13:07
have the time maybe , or maybe not even the skill , can now get into
13:09
the game . But you've
13:12
got a lot of I . I read this reddit post
13:14
and it was just like every time I put in a google search
13:16
it's nothing but ai slop . And
13:18
it's kind of true in a sense , because
13:21
you can read some of these articles that
13:23
are written . It's just like , man , this is terrible , um
13:26
, but yeah , so there there is a
13:28
uh , I guess it's
13:30
. It's more on the reader now than ever before
13:33
to kind of vet the information
13:35
and to do their own fact checking , I guess
13:38
, or to make
13:40
it so that whenever you do read
13:42
something , maybe read another article
13:45
and maybe read one more after
13:47
that and start to kind of compare notes , because
13:49
you'll you'll quickly see how
13:51
different you
13:54
know people's takes are on the same exact
13:56
topic and you can start
13:58
to identify like , ooh , man , this is like definitely
14:00
some some chat GPT going on
14:02
. Or if you're
14:04
like , oh , no , this is , I can tell this person really
14:06
knows what they're talking about , and that
14:09
all comes back to that that authoritativeness
14:11
, the , the credibility where you start to
14:13
position yourself as a
14:15
source of , like , real knowledge and
14:18
expertise . So , yeah , like
14:20
I said , a lot of people out there doing really
14:22
bad content , but it's
14:24
it's now more than ever for the people
14:26
who are really good at it . You have a chance
14:29
to stand out and you have a chance to shine
14:31
and be rewarded for
14:33
that .
14:34
Yeah , and I think that's
14:36
also the case because there are people out
14:38
there listening that are like , well , I
14:41
built my base of my content and then put
14:43
it in chat , pgpt and then edit
14:45
it from there . Like don't , if
14:48
you're going to be doing that , don't take that
14:50
as like the truth
14:53
. Everything that you get spat back out , like
14:55
you still , you have to do your research , you have to
14:57
, you know , adjust it to oh , it's
14:59
coming from a human , so it's true to
15:01
what you're trying to develop , as opposed to just like
15:03
it
15:12
reminds me of the days that , like at the beginning of seo , when people were stuffing
15:14
keywords into blog articles like this is the new version of that and that died out
15:16
, and this will too , you know , except for people that
15:17
are using it wisely yeah
15:20
, I always like to say that if you couldn't
15:22
, if you couldn't
15:24
do it without it , don't do it .
15:26
Yeah .
15:26
You know what I mean and it's like I use
15:29
it and I know that , but I
15:31
know whenever I'm using it , I'm using
15:33
it to make what
15:35
I'm doing better and easier , but
15:38
you can never use it to replace
15:40
like what would otherwise just be like
15:42
the skillset that you need yeah
15:44
you know , it's like you know a pilot might
15:47
use autopilot , but if the autopilot
15:49
fails , he or she still knows how to land
15:51
the plane . Like that's kind of the
15:53
same thing where it's like cruise control
15:55
yeah , it's like if you're using ai , you
15:58
need to be able . If I came up behind you
16:00
and like closed out that window and I said , all
16:02
right now , finish it without it , you should
16:04
still be able to do it without
16:06
it . And if you can't say that definitively
16:09
, then you know , like just
16:11
I'm not saying don't use it , but I'm saying
16:13
like you're probably not going
16:15
to rank as high as the next person who's
16:17
just , who just knows this
16:19
stuff back back in front because
16:22
their content's going to be better , because
16:24
they can go through and they can vet the , the areas
16:27
where I either
16:29
failed or was confusing
16:31
or whatever like that .
16:32
So yeah , yeah , um
16:34
, one of the things that you've noted
16:36
here . It calls back to just what you said
16:39
, like I know that
16:41
historically it's always been . You know , a minimum
16:43
of a thousand words , all this sort of stuff when
16:45
it comes to blog content . But
16:48
what this is ? Suggesting that
16:50
shorter form content may be just
16:52
as effective if it's set up properly
16:54
.
16:55
Yeah , and I think that what you're probably going to start
16:58
seeing is shorter articles
17:00
but with
17:02
a very , a
17:04
very hardline structure to them and
17:07
, like I said , that all goes back to the bullets , the FAQs
17:10
and stuff like that . I think , as
17:12
long as you're answering the questions
17:14
that people are asking and you're doing the keyword
17:16
research and you can finish an article
17:19
and you don't necessarily
17:21
need to hit like a giant word count . Yeah
17:23
, and I think what the takeaway there
17:26
is that , like , I think it's more about
17:28
the structure and less about the
17:30
word count , but
17:32
I really do think that you could get
17:34
, you could achieve your goals
17:37
with less words now
17:39
because of AI overview . Ai
17:47
overview and if your goal is that , you know and maybe it's not your goal , but I guess it should
17:49
be at this point is structuring your content for zero click . And I think
17:51
being in that AI overview window
17:53
is going to be more
17:55
and more valuable to
17:57
marketers and business owners down the road
17:59
. And yeah
18:02
, and it's just because the clicks just aren't
18:04
happening . So at this point you
18:06
kind of have to .
18:08
You either have to adjust or get kind of left
18:10
behind yeah , I
18:12
think it's , and I think this is one of the things
18:14
that we see in social to ramsey is like
18:17
instagram meta
18:19
will intentionally put out a product
18:22
update and like
18:25
favor , reward people that are actually using
18:27
it . So it's the same sort of thing
18:29
that's happening with google like they want you
18:31
to use this and people that are leaning into
18:34
it are the ones that are going to
18:36
capture like that .
18:38
Top tier rank yeah , it's kind of like . I
18:40
mean , they updated the Instagram algorithm
18:42
and they did it because they want
18:45
to get more views
18:47
to people who aren't as good
18:49
as creating content , which
18:51
has brought down views for people who do
18:53
create good content . And it's a
18:55
double edged sword , because I agree with it . I want people
18:57
creating content but don't
18:59
hurt the people who are doing
19:02
great content . But it's the same thing .
19:04
You just got gotta adjust and adapt yeah
19:06
, yeah , and I think that the more people
19:08
, the lower the barrier
19:10
to entry gets . I guess , like
19:12
the overall quality is obviously
19:15
going to go down because you're going to
19:17
get less qualified people doing the thing
19:19
that it used to take a very qualified
19:22
person to do , which people
19:25
might argue that's a good thing . You know what I mean
19:27
, because now everyone gets a seat at the table
19:29
, and I think there is some truth to
19:31
that , but I do think I stand
19:33
by the the
19:35
fact that I think that this is a time where
19:38
people who are really cued
19:40
in and really really strong at what they're
19:43
doing , they have an opportunity
19:45
to stand out more than ever .
19:48
Yeah , so um , I
20:07
just want to go back real quick .
20:09
We were talking about the
20:12
blog . Just real quick for people
20:14
out there listening . I know V said the minimum of
20:16
a thousand words , with the new structure
20:18
and the keyword , to the best of
20:20
your ability and you feel like you
20:22
gave enough expertise and
20:25
insight
20:27
into the question and you've structured
20:29
it the way we've talked about , with bullets
20:31
, faqs , maybe some visual
20:34
aids and stuff like that . I don't think
20:36
you need to live and die by the word count . I
20:38
think you need to think of it as you know
20:40
, maybe use a little bit of common sense , like if I
20:42
was a reader , what I what , I've gotten
20:45
everything I needed out of this and
20:47
if you feel like you're going to add 300
20:49
words of crap just to hit
20:51
a word count , I would suggest not doing
20:53
that .
20:54
10 for um , 10 for quality . So
20:57
quality over quantity when it comes to blog
20:59
.
20:59
To get into the , to help you get into
21:01
the ai overview yeah , yeah , it's
21:03
like quality and clarity , that
21:05
combination of those two things , because if
21:07
you are breaking down your content
21:10
in a way that's easy to understand it
21:12
is , then , you know , easy for google to pick
21:14
up and say okay , ok , this goes here , this is
21:16
authoritative in here , and
21:18
we're going to then utilize this within what we're developing
21:21
with our algorithms .
21:22
Yeah , absolutely , and , like I said , I really
21:25
always go back to . If I was someone who was
21:27
searching for this and I landed on this , would I
21:29
be what I've gotten , what I wanted
21:31
or what I've clicked away ? And
21:35
if it doesn't pass the smell test , you know who who really cares
21:37
whether you've hit a word count or not , it's
21:39
just right . You haven't done what you've
21:41
set out to do and I think sometimes people lose
21:44
sight of that and trying to like , oh , I
21:46
need to rank for all these keywords . It's
21:48
like , is this even a useful article that
21:50
anyone really wants ? Right , and
21:53
I think we're
21:55
going to go to . I think
21:57
things are just getting like is this useful
21:59
, yes or no ? Right , and
22:02
was the answer
22:04
for the question you know meaningful
22:06
? And if not , then I guess you haven't
22:08
done what you set out to do .
22:09
Yeah , people have less time and they
22:11
don't have time to be meandering on Google , so Google is trying to come
22:14
up . But has come ? People have less time and they don't have time to be meandering on Google , so Google
22:16
is trying to come up with a solution to hit you straight in the face with it and if you have
22:18
the right stuff on your website , they'll hit you
22:20
straight in the face with that . Yeah , now
22:22
I want to circle back again . Oh
22:30
, please don't circle back . Another
22:34
reason you know you were talking about the 980 pixels like it pushing , pushing
22:36
down also to underneath the overview . I've been seeing social
22:39
media before they even get to the
22:42
um websites or the clicks
22:44
yeah , well
22:46
, I mean , it's a google's pulling in youtube
22:48
, um , instagram
22:50
, tick tock , um .
22:52
So and I think we've talked about
22:54
this before on this podcast specifically
22:56
but whenever you're talking about
22:58
just SEO in general and
23:00
optimizing for search , you
23:03
can't just do it on your website anymore
23:05
. You kind of have to do it everywhere . So
23:07
you know , you have to be thinking
23:10
about that like structuring your
23:12
, your social media and your Instagram and your Facebook
23:14
and your YouTube for search , because that's all structuring your , your social media and your Instagram and your Facebook and your YouTube for
23:16
search , because that's all part of it . You know
23:18
, and you know we've we've talked
23:21
a lot about blogging specifically , just
23:23
because it's it's the , it's the low hanging
23:25
fruit . Whenever you're talking about zero click
23:27
marketing , but the truth is that
23:29
that permeates everything in marketing now
23:31
. So , um , yeah
23:34
, you should absolutely be optimizing for search
23:36
on in your social media strategy
23:38
.
23:39
Because if you don't check this out
23:41
, people that AI
23:43
overview is now pushed you down . Social
23:45
media has pushed you down , so if you were in the middle
23:48
of the page , you're now on the second
23:50
page .
23:50
Yeah , and it's , it's harder and harder to rank
23:52
. I mean , and it's and that's another
23:55
thing we haven't talked about yet is that you
23:57
know , just because you're in the AI overview
24:00
today doesn't mean
24:02
you're going to be there a month or two from now
24:04
, because it's just with all the people
24:06
doing content now , rank
24:08
has become super volatile
24:10
, right like . I think that the average
24:12
I read was the two to three month period
24:14
that an ai overview
24:16
is what it is , and
24:18
then it changes . So
24:20
if you think about that , that window
24:23
of opportunity to get into that spot
24:25
if you do get into that spot , you
24:27
might I mean , if you're lucky , you have three
24:29
months there , unless your article
24:31
is really freaking good and it stays
24:34
there for some reason . But you
24:36
have to . You have to imagine a scenario all
24:38
the time when the the next person is
24:41
kind of on your coattails trying to knock
24:43
you down from that spot . So that's
24:46
another thing , too , where it's like you have to always
24:48
be producing new content and
24:50
optimizing as well
24:52
, going back to old pieces , because
24:56
, like we said in the beginning of this , it changes all
24:58
the time . So I can guarantee you and
25:00
this is true for us , this is true
25:02
for everyone you know , your
25:04
blog content from two
25:06
years ago that's sitting on your website is
25:09
probably not optimized
25:12
for today's algorithm
25:14
and that's
25:16
, you know that's . And I know it seems
25:18
like a big ask to constantly
25:20
be going back and changing things and the
25:22
reality is , you know , there's probably not enough hours
25:24
in the day for everyone to do that all the time . But
25:26
it's something that you probably should be focusing
25:29
on is saying like
25:31
we probably , you know , instead of just like constantly
25:33
putting out new stuff , you know
25:35
, have you repurposed that old one that you did
25:37
. That wasn't that good , you know . You
25:45
just put it out and it was like it was fine at the time . But really go back and look at stuff
25:47
and say like , is this my best work as of today ? And I guarantee you the stuff
25:49
from two years ago ? It's ? The answer to that's
25:51
probably no .
25:52
So , so so if , if you
25:54
go back and you restructure your old blog
25:56
and then maybe structure
26:00
your social content like that too
26:02
, right , yeah , so
26:04
you want to go through . Like you know , you want to have
26:06
a profound statement , go through a couple
26:08
bullet points and
26:10
that match up with your blog , or
26:13
something like that , to help the
26:15
AI crawl for you and maybe put you in the overview
26:17
, either in that part or
26:19
in the social media section .
26:21
Yeah , I think it's never too late to start
26:24
. I mean , if you're looking at
26:27
a piece right now , you
26:29
know , think about ways you can improve it . If you've
26:31
listened to this , you know , can I add an effort
26:33
? That's the easy part , right ? You know ? It's
26:35
like if I just add , if I go back
26:37
into all my articles and just add a key
26:39
takeaway section to all of them right there
26:41
, you've already given yourself a better chance . Boom
26:44
that's right you know
26:46
, or if you just say like I'm gonna go
26:48
back onto all my articles on my website
26:50
and I'm gonna add an faq section . You
26:53
know , that way it's like that's more manageable one
26:55
, because that'd be a beast to go
26:58
back and rewrite however many
27:00
articles you have on your website . But if
27:02
there's low hanging fruit there , um
27:04
, optimizing for today's
27:07
algorithm the easiest way
27:09
you can , um , I think that's effort
27:11
worth worth spending on
27:13
and if that's , if that's something that you're
27:15
that you have the time and resources to do
27:17
, I would suggest doing that .
27:20
Yeah , and that's easy to
27:22
do . Like you said , that's not something that requires an
27:24
entire figuring out what you're going
27:26
to be talking about from scratch . Just make it better .
27:28
Yeah , and that is one of those things . Honestly
27:30
, I would say , let AI help you out
27:32
with that , because that's already content
27:34
you've written . Hopefully , um
27:37
, maybe run it , run that article
27:39
through and say , like can you make an FAQ
27:41
section for this ? And then , like it will give you some
27:43
ideas because it's just going to take what you
27:45
wrote and give you an S so , like
27:47
you know , there's an idea . I mean , I , I don't
27:50
, I wouldn't say like rely on it , but
27:52
it will at least get you started in thinking
27:54
in that direction so that you can say
27:56
, all right , yeah , I can knock . If I knock
27:58
one of these out a week , it's more
28:00
than I'm doing right now , which is just
28:02
kind of letting it sit there .
28:03
Yeah , can I ? Um , is
28:07
there anything else big to touch on ? Because I think , in
28:09
the spirit of what you're talking about
28:11
short and sweet high level bullets you've kind of covered
28:13
it . Yeah
28:18
, let's make this episode short and take some of our own advice . No , but I think what
28:20
you've said is great and these are some really fantastic
28:23
takeaways for people to take and run with . And
28:26
this is a great place to start
28:28
, and this stuff is constantly evolving .
28:31
We're definitely going to be getting getting into this more
28:33
.
28:34
Yeah .
28:35
For us , for our clients . We
28:37
have to , they have to . It's just like . It's
28:40
almost like social media just popped
28:42
up and people are like , oh , my goodness , what is this ? So
28:46
I think we're done . By the way , this
28:48
whole podcast was done in AI . Bye
28:51
, bye . Yeah , this
28:53
wasn't even us .
28:59
We talked a lot of trash
29:01
about ai , but oh my god , this entire podcast was
29:04
fake .
29:04
Yes , it was all right , once we do that , one day we will . That would actually
29:06
be funny . We should do that . That would be funny . We have to
29:08
make our little avatars all right , ladies
29:10
and gentlemen , if you're out there , you're listening
29:12
to this and this has done some good for you . Please
29:14
make sure you share it , smash a like so
29:17
it can pop up and maybe even get into the AI
29:19
overview section . Hey , that'd
29:21
be something , wouldn't it ? Bada bing , bada
29:24
boom . All
29:26
right , ladies and gentlemen , we're going to be out of here
29:29
