For all marketers & SEOs in this bowl:

The focus on ranking blue links is a fast track to irrelevance. The real value now is optimizing for AI-driven search (SGE, Perplexity).

I call this new discipline AI Engine Optimization (AEO). It's the most critical skill for the next 5-10 years.

I wrote the guide on the new framework required to future-proof your career.

Read the AEO guide:

Hey all
Just started a big 4 firm 2 weeks ago. Someone reached out to me for a month long engagement that seems incredibly boring, understaffed and not really what I’m interested in. Don’t want to get pidgeoned holed into boring work so early. Do I need to say yes lol

If you are on notice period and not doing work properly or on time then what can be the consequence ?
They cant put me on performance defaulters as I voluntarily resigned and also got good feedback from client.
The reason I resigned was the sh^^head manager and project.
He said I would be released from project soon and then on bench but after resigning he is saying you have to serve the NP n we cant release early.
This is only option left to get released from this sh^t place

Is it bad I am not extremely detailed oriented and often think wow has to be a way to automate this? Often times I need to just keep my head down and work but should I spend time improving processes?

Question for partners/leaders who make decisions on salary. What do you think of those who have been at the company a long time and are high performers but make significantly less than experienced new hires at the same level? Do you have less respect for them for not being able to negotiate more money?

Been working at an agency my whole career and the breakneck speed of work stresses me out. Would love to hear about the day in the life of someone in-house. I can’t decide if I want to switch environments or just pivot my career away from marketing at this point.

Looking for an SEO Manager who is open to relocate to Memphis, TN

Do you feel that in SEO there are too many ways of conducting the same tasks. I have had a string of managers within the past year, it’s starting to get very annoying as each person says method A is wrong and B is right, another manager would have the complete opposite view. Have you had similar experiences when this practice and adjustment begins to interfere with client deliverables.

Hi all! I've got an SEO question I'm hoping someone can help with:
How do you choose keywords to target in a blog when you're writing a blog that appears on multiple country specific versions of a given website? Do you use a mix of keywords from each region/country in one blog, or create different versions of the same blog with slight keyword differences based on the country?
Feel free to DM me if you want! thanks in advance from an entry level content marketer. :)

Hi all,

I've been in marketing for 7 years and it's been primarily paid social analytics and design at a local agency. I want to expand into the world of SEO, but I know its a complex new world for those without experience. Can anyone give me some pointers on where to start and how you got started learning about the basics of SEO? I want to set myself up with a solid base of knowledge from which to grow.

Hi everyone!

Currently in social media marketing but looking to transition to a career in SEO/SEM. Any tips or advice you can give? As well as recommendations for companies I can look into?

I have several years of experience working at an SEO agency and two years of copywriting experience. I also have an MFA in creative writing.

Does anyone have tips on how to find freelance SEO writing projects? I like my job but would like to be able to take on extra projects here and there when I have time.

Anyone doing anything cool right now with their clients? (As is pertains to SEO.)

The creative team is cutting back my content. I’ve explained to them that this will hurt their SEO, but they don’t seem to care. I'm sure they’ll freak out when they see the lack of organic growth.

Can someone private message me about the difference between writing H1 and H2 SEO copy vs H1-1 and H1-2 SEO copy. I am confused.

Everyone working in SEO: what do you do day to day? I am looking at moving SEO in-house instead of the company we have now, but I don’t know where to start. Tips?

I'm a current AC at my agency but looking to switch departments. I'm torn between applying to the SEM specialist role vs the social media specialist role. I'm leaning more towards SEM, but at this point I'm looking to choose whichever has the best earning potential down the road. Anybody have some pros and cons for both?

Just did an initial phone interview at Cloudflare last week for a position in SEO. Does anyone have experience working at or with Cloudflare to tell me more about what they’re like?
