My take on marketing
Articles on marketing strategy, SEO, and AI in marketing. I write about things I have an opinion on and have tested with clients – not generic “10 tips” you read and forget 5 minutes later. When I don't know something, or it can't be measured, I say so too.

- SEO and content – including what's changing with AI assistants
- AI in practice – where it saves time and where it's just conference hype
