Little tip - Your AI assistant can fully adjust your @screamingfrog config. Use it for anything from the basics, such as enabling JavaScript rendering or switching user-agent, to more advanced setups like custom extraction, complex segments or custom JS.
Would love to dive into this data.
But my observations:
1. you have a much higher chance of getting rich by bootstrapping.
2. if you raise money for something that isn't SUPER scalable, you just reduced the already very small odds by more (ex: media, community, many ecommerce businesses).
3. This doesn't mean raising is dumb or won't work. You can be an outlier for sure. Just low odds.
4. Raising is likely the best way to get big fast.
5. If being famous, powerful, or having huge impact is your goal...raising likely helps you get there faster.
6. If money and freedom is your goal, don't raise.
7. All of these observations above...there are plenty of examples where they are wrong.
🎥 A First Look at Businesses in ChatGPT 👇 We expected a search console, we were given a basic "Business Profile" for local biz blended with a basic "merchant center" for ecommerce, with an agent builder. My verdict? At this point, they get more insights from us, than us from them! Watch now.
PS: Have you had the chance to test it? What do you think?
We just added Whiteboards and Sheets to Claude, and Dashboards is now Claude Data.
Work with your team and Claude to:
• Sketch a plan and brainstorm live
• Ask for a formula in plain words
• Turn the numbers into a story
Sketch, sum, show it in Claude
Starting to roll out today: Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data.
Think a plan through on a board, build a tracker in a sheet, and tell a story with your data.

🚨 6 traditional organic results… but an expanding AI Overview takes over the first screen ... Welcome to the fifth SERP Squeeze Monday! 👇
This week is a little different: instead of featuring YOY search and click trends, I’m showing today’s US SERP for “leather jacket women” and what happens as it loads: An AI Overview with product recommendations expands after loading, taking over the space above the fold and pushing traditional organic results further down.
What changed in the November 2025 vs. 2026 @ahrefs snapshots?
* AI Overviews: from 0 to 1
* Shopping Packs: from 2 to 3
* Top Stories: from 1 to 0
* People Also Ask: from 1 to 0
* Traditional organic results: 6
The same number of traditional organic results but very different visibility and traffic impact 🫣

Announcing Foresight '27! 🚨 December 8th 🚨 - on the internet. You don't even have to move your tuchus out of your chair.
What's coming next for the web, and can we talk about it without using clichés?
We're offering genuine conversations about genuine problems (big problems). I know that's not how conferences are supposed to go, but we don't care.
We don't care that other platforms are telling you "agentic content is everything." We'd like to discuss whether we need more agentic insights before we just have the bots build whatever content.
We don't care that an end-of-year event like this should "predict what's coming next" - we'd rather talk about what's actually changing and what's actually the exact same thing but just got a new buzzword tied to it.
We don't care that our tool tracks AI Search, we will still talk about what happens if the AI bubble bursts, what that could look like, and mean for your job.
Join us for an actual conversation, not just one where we hope you sign up for our platforms (SE Visible, SE Ranking, & Planable)
I mean, if you do great! But I'm hosting, and I'm not here to waste your time or my time with anything but questions that get into the heart of the matter. The web is a mess, and it is going to get messier. We are not messing around with this lineup (well, I guess we are with Barry):
@CrystalontheWeb, Janine Anderson, @TheCoolestCool@Kevin_Indig, Graham Todd, Kiera Carter, Alex Wright, Scott Hircombe @kaleighf@NickleRoy, @garrettsussman, @rustybrick@CyrusShepard, Dayana CollazosIbarra, Jillian Ryan, Joe Glover, @Aleyda, Anthony Barone, Filipa Canelas, Yoel Israel
And of course, our own Peter Mollins & my esteemed co-host Andreea Ștefan!
Shout-out to our headline partner, @Wix
If you're a marketer who takes marketing seriously, this event is for you:
