- One Page Earned 102,657 Image Impressions and 2 Clicks. I Shipped 8 Free Tools That Find Pages Like It.
Image search on one client site ran at 64% of web's impressions and 11% of its clicks, and no tool in the stack could see it. The new GSC MCP update ships 8 free image SEO tools that read that surface and audit the pages behind it.
- ChatGPT Searches Individual Subreddits by Name
A capture this week has ChatGPT targeting one subreddit directly, with a ten-year window, on a query where Bing returns no Reddit at all. Reddit was 48 of the 71 pages it fetched and won 6 of the 8 citations. Four days earlier, a different query gave Reddit none of eleven.
Two to four emails a month. The list runs on Listmonk on my own server rather than a big marketing platform, so your address stays with me and nobody else. One click unsubscribes you whenever you've had enough.
