I cut 10,000 overcrowded, irrelevant URLs down to the 500 best.

Clicks: 408 → 930
Impressions: 1.07K → 2.23K
Avg position: 10.2 → 5.5

95% fewer pages. Twice the impressions.

Google doesn't reward how much you publish. It rewards how much of it deserves to rank

@mattvanswol A few years ago this used to be a scene in a sci-fi movie.

Today it’s a 4 second clip we scroll past between two memes. 😅🥹

@Kerbrank Great tip!
Each town is basically a different answer.

Honestly, too early to tell with the Business Hub. OpenAI hasn't said claiming changes who gets named.

[Tanuj Sharma @tanuj_xyz]

Ask ChatGPT: "What's the best [what you sell] in [your city]?"

If your business isn't in the answer, a competitor's is.

Here's the one day setup I'd do for any business. No paid tools needed: https://t.co/xScuhgIdKD

[Tanuj Sharma @tanuj_xyz]

@raby_web Exactly! You're right. These aren't shortcuts, but they're important to understand if you want AI to recommend you.

[Tanuj Sharma @tanuj_xyz]

@sohmahajan 100%. AI can't recommend you for a city it isn't sure you're in.

Definitely trying this! Thanks.

Run the test and reply with what ChatGPT said about your business. I will tell you the first thing I would fix.

[Tanuj Sharma @tanuj_xyz]

1/ Turn sales calls into pages
Every question a prospect asks twice deserves its own page.

2/ Update before you publish
A page ranking #12 is closer to page one than any new page you'll write this month.

3/ Delete what nobody reads
We cut a site from 10,000 pages to 500. Clicks went 408 → 930.

4/ Write "<competitor> vs you"
Include where they're better. Buyers search these when they're close to paying.

5/ Fix titles before content
Search Console → queries with high impressions, low clicks. A new title takes 5 minutes.

6/ Answer questions where buyers ask them
Reddit, forums, communities. As yourself, not a fake account. Google and ChatGPT both surface these threads.

7/ Link new pages from your best page
A link from a page that already gets traffic beats waiting in a sitemap.

8/ Split brand clicks from the rest
About half our clicks came from people typing the site's name. Your SEO growth is the other half.

9/ Judge changes in weeks, not days
Google itself says to wait a full week after a core update ends before you analyse.

None of this needs a tool. It needs someone to actually do it.

[Tanuj Sharma @tanuj_xyz]

Dumb SEO:
We need more blogs
Let's target the kyeword with the highest volume
We will fix the old pages later
Make the content longer than the top result page
Ranking are up, so it's wotking

Boring but impactful SEO that works:

[Tanuj Sharma @tanuj_xyz]

If your AI impressions in Search Console dipped Nov 9–11, it's not you.

Google confirmed a logging bug in the Generative AI report that under-counted impressions those days.

Add a note in your report now. In three months someone will ask why AI visibility fell.

[Tanuj Sharma @tanuj_xyz]

@NabhaniMehdi Yes. It’s a good starting point and you know base expectations.

[Tanuj Sharma @tanuj_xyz]

Ask ChatGPT what laptop to buy and you get 3 names.

Now there's an ad under that list too.

ChatGPT ads are rolling out to 89 countries. OpenAI says they don't influence the answers.

Here's why that promise is so hard to check, and what to do about it: https://t.co/hqHuczHaxQ

@Lilyrosemzt Hide some cash in your winter jacket. Six months later, you'll feel rich for no reason.

[Tanuj Sharma @tanuj_xyz]

@BuildWithAJ @tinytechfox Haha no judgment at all. The best stuff usually comes out around 27 mins anyway 😄

[Tanuj Sharma @tanuj_xyz]

@tinytechfox If your voice note needs me to put on earphones and find a quiet room, you should’ve just called.

[Tanuj Sharma @tanuj_xyz]

@BuildWithAJ @tinytechfox 30 mins? Bro that’s not a voice note, that’s a TED talk with no slides. 😅

@coffeelover4679 @goodreads It’s McConaughey telling crazy stories from his life and how he turned the bad stuff into wins, that’s what he calls “greenlights.”
Super fun read imo.
