Does SEO for local builders and construction companies.

Thanks to Laravel Boost ( AI ). Just Migrated a website from Bootstrap 4.6 to Bootstrap 5.

[Raitis Kupce 🏝️ @RKupce]

Outcome: 200 blog post images now have width and height.

Review: See GitHub what has been changed.

Result: Page Speed improves ( CLS ). Maybe even Rankings.

In other words demonstrate you care about your website so you Google can trust you a little bit more.

[Raitis Kupce 🏝️ @RKupce]

One of the ways I like to learn about AI is to actually create things you need to solve.

Simple is good.

So created a 19 lines of .md instruction to add missing width and height to <img> tag.

Then in Laravel instruct for every file in this folder use this skill.

As a Laravel developer do you use date('Y') or now('Y') 👀

[Raitis Kupce 🏝️ @RKupce]

@MattReinholz Yes. I will. Going to use blades basic php and HTML.

For me they generate leads. So I treat them as a Landing page. It a local business. Not corporate biz.

We are not creating 100 of random blog post.

Migration a local business from Wordpress to Laravel.

[Punyapal Shah @MrPunyapal]

Laravel developers, what are you working on?

[Raitis Kupce 🏝️ @RKupce]

@MattReinholz There won't be any Content Management UI. That creates friction in my project. One of the reasons I moved to Laravel.

[Raitis Kupce 🏝️ @RKupce]

The AI skill would have multiple example of Uniq Selling Points.

Once set up I can change something much quicker and with much less friction compared to WordPress.

[Raitis Kupce 🏝️ @RKupce]

It a small local business that I manage myself. To speed up the high level overview:

- Imported blogs via REST API and saved as JSON.
- download all images so the img path stay like for like.
- Used @tailwindcss components to build out draft pages.

[Matthias Reinholz @MattReinholz]

@RKupce Curious to hear how that goes. Do you add any form of content management UI or is this mostly a static website?

[Raitis Kupce 🏝️ @RKupce]

Lets say I want to add 3 USP Right after Introduction.

I would instruct the AI with something like:
Using the 'xyz' skill, populate the title and text props on every <x-xyz> component found in # folder/pages.

[Raitis Kupce 🏝️ @RKupce]

It does help to work on something else outside the SEO.

For me it is winning an Amateur Boxing Bout. 🥊

[Raitis Kupce 🏝️ @RKupce]

By day you help local businesses to be found online by night you work on yourself.

Whiles I am saddened it did not work out. Your good intention does not always work out.

I am happy and relieved that we part our ways. Best for both of us.

Even better I that I still made my client 3x more than what they invested.

[Raitis Kupce 🏝️ @RKupce]

As I write my farewell client report realised I got paid £187.5 and generated £3k to the client + whatever else new leads arrive from now on.

They paid for expenses £1K + commission ( my profit )

@MrPunyapal I use copilot pro on VS code. Barely used the allowance. Once started using Laravel Boost then maxed out the allowance.
