My superpower? Sourcing and training exceptional talent from emerging nations, and the proof is in this community (You gotta meet Julian!) What am I most curious about in the future of search? I’m super interested in how to leverage AEO for ultra-niched businesses—especially when you're in a space with a very specific target audience and trying to get AI Answer Engines to recommend your brand. I’m thrilled to be on this journey with all of you, and I can’t wait to see how AEO will revolutionize the way we all approach search and visibility in this new AI-driven landscape.

I’ve seen a lot of tools lately that use JavaScript to inject schema markup, but honestly, I don’t really trust it. Sure, it’s fast and easy, but in my experience, search engines and AI engines don’t always pick it up reliably. When schema is built straight into the code; clean, server-side, and part of the actual structure it just performs better in my experience. It’s more consistent, faster to read, and less likely to break. I know many plugins and AEO tools still rely on JavaScript overlays, but I can’t shake the feeling that it’s more of a shortcut than a real solution. Curious what others are seeing: Have you tested schema injected with JavaScript versus schema built into the page? What worked best for you?

I’d really love to hear from everyone on their take with AEO-are blogs still relevant?

Hey everyone, Recently, I shared a post about an FAQ page that was performing well at first, reaching over 3,000 impressions, but then suddenly dropped off, especially in search visibility and overall impressions. A few days ago, I made some updates to that page and reindexed it through Google Search Console. Since then, it seems to be gaining impressions again, not as high as before, but showing consistent daily activity (around 5–20 impressions per day) and about 7 clicks over the past few days. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think updating the content and re-requesting indexing makes Google treat the page as “refreshed” or more recent? And if so, does that contribute to how Google values recency or content freshness in rankings?

Walmart just announced a partnership with OpenAI to allow shopping directly through the AI chatbot. This could mean consumers might soon buy groceries, household essentials, and more, then instantly check out, all while chatting with the AI. This feature is also expected to help Sam’s Club members plan meals and discover new items. Walmart sees this as a way to make online shopping more personalized and proactive.
