Latest insights

7 practical reads for your business.

Working with AI

Nobody knew what the agents were doing

Three separate stories landed on the same Wednesday. The thread running through all of them is not that AI is dangerous. It is that the people running these systems did not know what they were up to, and that has a practical consequence for anyone letting software near their business.

CLOSED
Local SEO

No one claimed the listing, so the restaurant got marked permanently closed

A real client, a real restaurant, and a status change nobody made. What happened when an unclaimed Google Business Profile got flagged closed mid-season, and what it cost before anyone caught it.

Speed
matters.
Performance

Why your website is slow, and why it matters more than your designer thinks

Speed is not an engineering vanity metric. It is a conversion problem, a search problem and a credibility problem, and the causes are boringly predictable across almost every site I audit.

Fractional CMO

What a fractional CMO does in the first ninety days

Week by week, what the work actually looks like, what should exist by the end of it, and the honest failure modes. Written mostly so you can tell whether the one you are talking to knows what they are doing.

Automation

The five things a small business should automate first

Not the fashionable ones. The five that are quietly costing you a day a week, in the order that pays back fastest, with an honest note on what each one actually costs to build.

AI Search

What AI search actually looks at when it decides who to cite
