@Charles_SEO I would love to see this!

@jes_scholz @pedrodias Keep fighting the good fight @jes_scholz !!! It’s healthy for this app to see the logical folks speaking up.

@SearchForRyan I appreciate seeing this in Twitter this morning!

@iPullRank Are you saying Ahrefs will always win in small doses?

[J. James Patterson @JJPattersonSEO]

@pedrodias Extremely refreshing to hear this. These types of articles and headlines are over saturating the available content out there.

@CyrusShepard Maybe they just didn’t want to show @CyrusShepard how many results they had

[J. James Patterson @JJPattersonSEO]

@glenngabe @rustybrick Thank you for the quick response @glenngabe! I haven’t seen this yet but admittedly my eyes haven’t been on the Ecom SERPs on daily basis like they used to be.

[J. James Patterson @JJPattersonSEO]

So Google kills the Site search box, only to replace it with this imposter that shows for Branded searches (limited test of two brands) which forces you to stay in the SERP by firing a more targeted query.

ITN @rustybrick, @glenngabe ?

Anyone out there working in the Scholarly/Academic SEO arena? Would love to connect.

@7SpringsPA is the North lot open today?

@JohnMu @g33konaut This may have already been asked, but is SGE simply a visual UI layer, or does it have its own “ranking” or “quality” evaluation that is different from Google Search?

@MarkPreston1969 Heard the cats and clone themselves across every functional team in the tech stack.

@JoyanneHawkins I’d argue that it’s a fanstatic metric for measuring your overall brand demand for your brand name when using comparison dates.

[J. James Patterson @JJPattersonSEO]

@azarchick It’s called a pivot. Many are GPS guided as well to accommodate different fields shapes. For example, to navigate corners.

@MikeBlazerX I started in agency then went in house. More often than not the large companies I worked with didn’t have a true SEO as an employee. They had someone that owned that title and was responsible for it, but that person had no deep SEO experience.

[J. James Patterson @JJPattersonSEO]

@Suzzicks Someone always knows more. Wider breadth of knowledge or shockingly deeper understanding. At TechSEO boost I was certain I was the dumbest person there (likely true). Being humble enough to admit you don’t know everything is hard.

[J. James Patterson @JJPattersonSEO]

@lilyraynyc This is an interesting topic that we are focusing on. My humble opinion is that it will be more important than ever to CLEARLY communicate expertise in your specific topic area. GPT seems to lose value as the topic gets more niche or nuanced.

[J. James Patterson @JJPattersonSEO]

We need “Lily’s Affirmations” on a more regular basis. This was therapeutic! Thanks @lilyraynyc

Things you learn at SEO conferences that are common among SEO teams around the world:

- PPC often gets 10x the budget or more than SEO for the same client

- Clients love ordering SEO audits and not implementing much, then trying another SEO audit with someone else
