Google Shopping & product feed specialist. I build systems that turn broken feeds into revenue. Sharing the playbook for e-commerce owners.

Performance Max doesn't need your customer list. It works better with it.

Customer Match adds buyer emails as an audience signal, not a targeting rule; PMax can still go outside it.
Consent and eligibility checks come first.

Full breakdown in this week's newsletter.

Current view: Redesigning https://t.co/TAOpVrAPQU from the ground up.

Moving from EDD to @freemius for a better user experience. If I’m fixing the engine, I might as well repaint the car.

Clean feeds start with a clean foundation for our WooCommerce users. #BuildInPublic

Current build: A Google Shopping Title Optimizer.

1. Paste title.
2. Get visibility score.
3. AI-rewrite for max reach.

Dialing in the scoring logic in n8n as we speak. Most merchants lose at the feed level, time to fix that.

"Nike Air Max 90" scores 75/100 on Google's own Shopping title rules.

Add gender, color, size: 100/100.

Google rewrites 90%+ of Shopping titles, but only from what you give it.

@kaleighf Ugh, the "cancelled but still billing" nightmare. Found three of these cleaning up our books two weeks ago.

It learned me to build in a double check if it is really canceled.

The biggest solopreneur trap?

Doing manual work that a machine can handle.

I’m using n8n to automate the heavy lifting of SEO research for KyraSuit.

This lets me focus on strategy while the bot gathers the data. ⚙️

The new Google update is punishing "thin" affiliate sites and rewarding deep, authoritative stores.

Is your #WooCommerce store ready?

I'm opening spots for the Beta soon.

Want to secure your traffic? Reply "AUTHORITY" and I'll DM you the details. 📷

KyraSuite automates the "boring" parts of authority building, helping you with your #topicalauthority.

[Auke Jongbloed @hellojongbloed]

I used to map topical clusters for clients manually in Airtable.

Rows and rows of keywords, trying to link product A to blog post B to category C.

It worked. Clients got traffic. But my brain melted. 📷

That's why we're pivoting KyraSuite from a "service" to a SaaS.

The new engine doesn't just "write content." It analyzes your entire catalog and builds the internal link structure for you.

We're turning 40 hours of spreadsheet hell into a 4-minute workflow.

Code is messy right now, but the logic is beautiful.

Traditional SEO is dying. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the new battlefield. ⚔️

In 2026, it's not about ranking #1 in blue links; it's about being the primary citation in AI Overviews.

If your content isn't structured for AI citations, you're invisible. Period.

Most SEOs treat Google Discover traffic like a lottery ticket. 📷 "Just write clickbait and pray." Wrong.

The Feb 2026 Core Update just proved it. Discover is now an Entity Engine. It doesn't want "viral" posts; it wants Topical Authority.

If you sell coffee beans but write about "celebrity gossip" for clicks, you're dead.

Google is mapping your site's expertise graph. Stick to your lane, go deep, and the traffic becomes predictable, not lucky.

@VorticonCmdr This is why I stick to building real authority over domain shortcuts. Boring but works long term.

[Auke Jongbloed @hellojongbloed]

@Niekie888 @yoavtchelet The US favoritism in Discovery is real. Seeing international sites tank while domestic competitors climb with weaker content.

Everyone's panicking about the Feb '26 Google Update.

Don't.

Google killed "lazy" SEO, not SEO itself.

The winners? They optimize for speed, not search volume.

If you're waiting for keyword research, you're already too late.

Authority = capturing trends before they peak.
