Look, I’ve spent 18 years managing digital marketing campaigns for everything from state government projects to US-based IT firms. And I’ve learned something that most marketers get completely backwards. We obsess over customer acquisition. We spend fortunes on Google Ads, Facebook campaigns, and SEO to get people in the door. But here’s what actually happens …
The Real Talk About Traffic That Doesn’t Convert I’ll be honest when I first started managing digital marketing campaigns back in the late 2000s, I was obsessed with one metric: traffic. More visits meant success, right? I’d spend hours optimizing for impressions, click-through rates, and absolute visitor numbers. My clients would get excited seeing their …

By Amit Tyagi — Senior Digital Marketing Specialist & Web Development Strategist I spent the last few weeks pulling conversion data on a set of clients who were genuinely winning at video SEO.

By Amit Tyagi — Senior Digital Marketing Specialist & Web Development Strategist I spent some time this week digging into Google Trends data across the past three months, comparing search volume patterns for four terms that have come to define how people are thinking about search strategy in 2026: traditional SEO, AI SEO, AEO (Answer …

If you’ve been managing Google Ads campaigns lately, you’ve probably noticed something new in your account. Google has quietly rolled out a “How this ad was made” section in its My Ad Center—and it’s automatically labeling ads built with generative AI tools. It’s the kind of change that sounds simple on the surface, but for …
By Amit Tyagi | Senior Digital Marketing Specialist & Web Development Strategist When I first read about OpenAI’s “No Pay-to-Cite” policy last year, I’ll be honest—I had to pause and think about what it really meant for the 2000+ USD in monthly ad spend I manage for my clients. After 18 years of building digital …

Hi everyone, Amit here. I wanted to post a quick, honest update for anyone who’s been watching their rankings bounce around over the last few weeks and wondering whether something’s wrong on their end. Short answer: probably not. Here’s what’s actually going on. What’s Happening Google has been through a genuinely unsettled stretch of algorithm …
Over the last two years, alongside running client marketing programs, I’ve spent a genuinely significant chunk of my time getting hands-on with large language models directly — not just using ChatGPT the way most marketers do, but actually understanding how these systems retrieve, weight, and reproduce information. I built that foundation formally through AI and …
Hello everyone, Amit here. If you have been working in SEO for the past few years, you have probably noticed one major shift. Traditional search rankings are no longer the only metric that matters. Today, AI-powered search engines like Bing Copilot, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and other generative search platforms are changing how users discover …

I read a lot of platform announcements in this industry, and most of them don’t warrant a second look. This one did — enough that I spent a good part of my week going through the press materials, the executive statements, and the early trade coverage before writing a word of this post. On July …
I’ve spent a good part of the last several months doing something most marketers haven’t gotten around to yet: actually reading the primary research on how AI platforms decide which brands to mention. Not the LinkedIn hot-take version of it, the actual studies — the ones with sample sizes, methodologies, and citation-tracking data across ChatGPT, …

And the bidding shift most accounts still haven’t made. I’ve had a version of the same call three times in the last two months. A SaaS founder or VP of Marketing opens with some version of “our Google Ads costs have gone up and I don’t understand why, nothing on our end changed.” And every …

A default GA4 setup scatters AI-driven sessions across Direct, Referral, and AI Assistant — meaning most dashboards are quietly reporting a fraction of the real traffic. I found this problem the annoying way — by staring at a client’s GA4 dashboard for twenty minutes convinced I was losing my mind. This was earlier this year, …

I have used WordPress for over 15 Years and whenever a new update is there it gets me curious. WordPress 7.1 Beta 3 just landed, and if you’ve been keeping half an eye on the release cycle, this is the point where things start feeling real. We’re now three betas deep, the feature set is …
