  • AEO for outreach: How to earn citations and placements that build AI visibility

  • How do you like them apples?
    In October, the apples in New England are some of the best in the world. Alas, the apples in this bowl are nine months old and from 3000 miles away. I found them sitting in a forlorn corner of a hotel gym in Cape Cod. Why source lousy apples? Because... Read more »
