So I did a thing with @brightlocal.com. Would love for you share this with small business owners. It's 100% free. No catches. You know the people - who are their own 'marketing department' (and HR, Finance, Logistics etc.). academy.brightlocal.com/course/how-t... Thanks in advance!

"Hey Siri, show me an example that demonstrates that clubs have already found ways around the Premier League's new SCR rules." I mean... they're not even *trying* to hide it very well. They don't have to. It's laughable.

And right on cue here's ChatGPTs latest ad:

FFS you couldn't make it up... but now ChatGPT have: encouraging people to use their energy, water and world burning tools to "Turn me into a football bobble-head".

Jesus wept.

Just reviewing the videos from the #OptimiseyEvent before uploading them to the YouTube channel. Actionable #SEO insights from @nikkipilkington.bsky.social (and some fella that wasn't @crystalontheweb.bsky.social). Want me to drop you an email when they're ready? 📩 optimisey.com/seo-goodness...

Good to know that even Google struggle with their sitelinks sometimes. Slightly gratifying after I had to tussle with their systems to get a restaurant client's branded search to stop showing their 'Christmas' page... in March. Yes Google. Yes I know it *was* a popular page... 😄

#OptimiseyEvent is tomorrow... with added aircon! (OK... not added really... the venue (The Bradfield Centre) had it anyway but man it's gonna be welcome tomorrow!).

Tech Bros: "Copywriting? It's DEAD! AI took your job!" AI Copywriting: "Protection that stands watch like a treeline" Copywriters: "I think we'll be ok."

Was your celebration of the #England #WorldCup win last night marred by the panic of: "What if the next game clashes with the #OptimiseyEvent?!? "I can't miss @nikkipilkington.bsky.social & @crystalontheweb.bsky.social?!?" Don't worry. I got you. ⚽

Andrew Optimisey@optimisey· Jun 17

Ah... something of an 'England B' team today then at The Oval. And Joe Root. Good luck lads! #EngvNZ

Andrew Optimisey@optimisey· Jun 10

Mother of god MAKE IT STOP. Why? Just WHY? Why does anyone need AI to do these things? The first person that says: "It's just for fun..." is going to get a very grumpy response. 😅

A load of utter nonsense that Microsoft are peddling to encourage people to use AI for... reasons.

Remember this iconic 'rock the baby' goal celebration by Brazil striker Bebeto? GOOD. Now YOU have to live the pain this @bbcsportbot.bsky.social story just sledgehammered me with:

Your periodic reminder that if your sign up/sign in/paywall stuff has cr*p validation you have cr*p data too. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

I don't want you to think my day follows a strict routine but... my dog now knows the sound of Windows+L = walkies!!!

Everyone else getting these for, pretty much, EVERY site they have logged on GSC? Like this is the first time it was set-up (spoiler: it wasn't). I'm like... what have you been doing BEFORE now... if not this?

Picture inspiration: A beautiful tree. This tree is probably over 100 years old. It's seen politicians come and go; economic boom and economic bust; weather that was too hot/cold/wet/dry and much more. And yet, it persists. Be like the tree. 🌳❤️💚

🫨 Can't *quite* believe I'm saying this but... 🫨 CEO of Alphabet Inc. and Google, Sundar Pichai, is coming to speak at the next #OptimiseyEvent. On the principle of 'You miss 100% of the shots you don't take' I asked and -- to my astonishment -- he said yes! 🔥Get Tickets: tinyurl.com/24pc37v3

An image announcing Sundar Pichai as a speaker at the next Optimisey event... and if you're one of those folks smart enough to read the alt-text, you'll know that's about as likely as it sounds and is, in fact, not true.

Happy April Fool's Day!

A reminder that there are real people behind all that search data. This one stopped me in my tracks today. 🥲
