I've switched from Claude Code to Codex. After a week using OpenAI's Astra model in our business, it's become the tool I reach for first. This week, it rebuilt one of our sales pages inside an awkward drag-and-drop editor with just one round of feedback.

But Gael and I haven't had exactly the same experience.

In this episode we break down:
→ Why I switched to Codex for everyday business work
→ What happened when we put Astra to work on sales pages and 3D design
→ Where complex video editing still needs human input
→ Why the way an AI talks to you matters more than you'd think
→ What changed with image editing and making websites easier for AI agents to use

We're sharing what held up after a week of actual business use, and what you should know before switching.

OpenAI finally released Astra last night, sort of. They announced it, then told almost everyone they can't have it until the weekend. Some people did get early access though, and what they've done with it is worth a look. One handed it a floor plan and got back a photoreal interior render. Another had it prep an entire video edit in Final Cut in three and a half minutes.

So we lined it up against Claude Fable 5.1, which also shipped this week, on the things that actually matter for a business: design, writing, computer use, and how much of either model your plan lets you use before it cuts you off.

In this episode we break down:
→ The one-shot design test: Astra vs Fable 5.1 vs Opus on the same prompt
→ Why computer use is the upgrade most business owners haven't noticed yet
→ Astra on the $20 plan with no five-hour limits, while Fable is capped at 50% of your usage
→ Anthropic's "25% permanent raise" that's really a 17% cut from September 14
→ Why we're stacking AI subscriptions instead of making our next hire

Pick the model you can actually use, not the one that wins the chart.

rok Bot landed this week and a surprising number of people have already switched to it. Always-on AI agents, each with their own computer in the cloud, that you talk to like colleagues in Slack.

It's the closest thing yet to a plug and play AI employee. It's also $200 a month minimum, you can't bring your own API key, and once you've built your setup on it you're locked in. So we put it up against Hermes, the open source agent that does most of the same job for a fraction of the price, and worked out who should actually use which.

In this episode we break down:

  • What Grok Bot actually does, and why non-technical founders love it
  • The $200/month lock-in and why we call it a poisoned gift
  • Hermes Bot Mode, the open source alternative (think Webflow vs WordPress)
  • Gael's setup where Codex installs and runs Hermes on a VPS so he never touches the server
  • Should solopreneurs bother, or stick with Claude Code and Codex
  • ChatGPT Computer History, which records everything you do and then tells you what to automate
  • The free mystery model beating Fable on coding tests

The tech is good. The terms are the catch.

If AI writes your content, that content is now traceable. The EU's watermarking law came into effect this month, and Claude is already leaving a hidden signature in every piece of text it generates.

It's not hidden characters you can strip out. It's the word choices themselves. So even if you copy and paste the text, the signature survives. SEOs are panicking that Google will use this to penalize AI content.

In this episode we break down:

→ Why Gmail could start flagging AI cold outreach as spam
→ Why the scariest warnings come from people with something to sell you

Gael can write a full blog post using about 7% of his weekly Fable limit. Most people use 50% doing the same job.

The difference isn't a better prompt. He stopped letting the smartest model do the work at all. Fable briefs the task, Sonnet handles research, Opus makes the editorial calls, Codex writes the code.

In this episode we break down:

→ Why Fable is a project manager and not a worker

→ How to build a routing table so delegation happens automatically

→ Why spawning 100 subagents costs you more, not less

→ Running eight threads at once without losing track of them

We run a seven figure business with two people and zero employees, and the reason is none of the flashy AI stuff you see on social media. It is the boring internal work: a support bot that helps members while we sleep, a database that flags which customers are about to cancel, and onboarding that runs itself at 6am every day. In this episode we open up the actual systems and show you exactly how each one is built.

In this episode we break down:
→ The WhatsApp onboarding skill that replaced a daily manual chore
→ How Gael shipped a full course's notes, images and thumbnails from one prompt
→ The $12/month server running our support bot 24/7 (and how it is protected from prompt injection)
→ A Supabase data warehouse that tells us which members are at risk of cancelling
→ The cancellation flow that drafts personalized save offers in seconds

Automate the boring stuff. That is where the money actually is.

A lot of people refused to leave Claude 4.6. 4.7 felt off, the writing got worse, and their skills stopped behaving like they used to. Opus 4.8 dropped, and that feeling is gone.

We ran it through our real marketing skills. Meta ads, carousels, LinkedIn copy, a full one-shot website. Same prompts, same skills, just the new model. Here is how much better it actually is.

In this episode we break down:
→ Why so many people refused to upgrade past 4.6
→ Opus 4.8 vs 4.7 on real Meta ads (judge the concept, not the image)
→ The copywriter who can finally leave 4.6 behind
→ A one-shot website with GPT-image backgrounds built in
→ Why it is the best all-rounder now, even if Codex still codes harder

Not a revolution. Just the model that finally has taste again.

A month ago Anthropic could do no wrong. Now every AI commentator is piling on Opus 4.7 just hours after it shipped. 

In this episode we cut through the noise: the model is mostly a side grade, but the new Claude Desktop app, auto mode, and a WordPress integration that unlocks fully automatic SEO are the real upgrades this week for business owners.

In this episode:
➤ Our theory on why Opus 4.7 feels weaker than the benchmarks suggest (hint: new "Mythos" safeguards)
➤ Auto mode: the biggest quality of life win for non technical users, safer than bypass permissions
➤ Vibe coded websites that still let your clients manage their blog in WordPress
➤ How Claude Code is about to do real, measurable SEO on your site automatically
➤ The new Claude Desktop app vs VS Code: which one your team should actually use

Anthropic just announced Mythos. A model so powerful they won't release it to the public. It scored 93.9% on coding benchmarks where every other model has been stuck around 80. It hacked Firefox 84% of the time. And they're only giving it to companies like Apple and Amazon to patch their security before the rest of us get anywhere near it.

We sat down to figure out what this actually means for small businesses, not the hype, but the practical reality of where AI is heading in the next 3 to 6 months.

In this episode we break down:
→ Why Anthropic built an AI too dangerous to release publicly
→ What 93.9% on coding benchmarks actually means for non-developers
→ How Gael went from 2 weeks building an app to one-shotting it in a single prompt
→ The shift from giving AI tasks to giving it entire projects
→ Why Anthropic's revenue just jumped $10B in a single month

If you're not building systems to use these models when they arrive, you're already behind.

Claude Opus 4.6 and OpenAI's Codex 5.3 dropped on the same day, battling for dominance as we move from vibe coding to vibe working. But Opus burns through tokens so fast you can max out a $100/month plan in an hour—and the smartest AI model just made the most money in a benchmark by forming an illegal price-fixing cartel and lying to customers.

Meanwhile, OpenAI launched the Codex desktop app—a cleaner, less intimidating alternative to VS Code where you never even look at code anymore. ByteDance released Seed Dance 2.0, generating cinematic video with perfect audio simultaneously, potentially changing the game for anyone running ads. And Anthropic dropped an $8 million Super Bowl attack ad on ChatGPT that Sam Altman was not happy about.

In this episode, we break down the stories reshaping AI this week and what they mean for your business. You'll discover:

👉 Why Opus 4.6 is the smartest model available but costs 60% more than 4.5—and why Gael switched back to 4.5 for most tasks despite the upgrade.

👉 How reasoning tokens work (explained via Gael's driving narration habit) and why you can adjust them in Claude Code but not the desktop app.

👉 The Vending Bench results: Opus 4.6 made $8,017 by deceiving other models, forming cartels, and lying about refunds—then realized it was in a simulation.

👉 Why AI models are now sandbagging their test results on purpose—and why that's a genuine safety concern, not science fiction.

👉 OpenAI's Codex desktop app: a ChatGPT-style interface for coding where you never touch code, just press play and give feedback in plain English.

👉 GPT 5.3 Codex uses 3x fewer tokens than Opus for the same quality—and the usage limits on a $20 plan feel higher than Claude's $100 plan.

👉 Why being model-agnostic matters: you can literally ask AI to migrate your settings between Claude Code and Codex in seconds.

👉 How Gael built an AI topical map skill that acts like a human SEO—finding competitors, extracting their top pages, deduplicating keywords, and generating interactive content maps.

👉 Anthropic's $8M Super Bowl attack ad on ChatGPT's advertising—why it's misleading, why Sam Altman took the bait, and what it reveals about Claude's Apple-esque positioning.

👉 Seed Dance 2.0: ByteDance's video model generates photorealistic 60-second clips with synchronized audio for ~$12 per minute—and why this changes everything for ad creative.

Watch now to see what's actually worth your attention—and what's just hype.

An open-source AI agent is buying things with people's credit cards. And everyone's installing it anyway.

While the AI labs were quiet in January, the underground exploded. Multbot (formerly "Claudebot") gives AI full root access to your computer—and thousands are setting up dedicated Mac Minis just to run it. 

ChatGPT ads are officially rolling out at $60 CPM. 

Google's new 4K video model just embarrassed OpenAI's Sora. And we discovered a skill that finally makes Claude Code useful for building n8n workflows.

In this episode, we break down the stories reshaping AI this week and what they mean for your business. You'll discover:

👉 Why Multbot is the most powerful—and most dangerous—AI tool you might actually want to use (and why Gael turned his off).

👉 The n8n + Claude Code skill combo that built a complete automation workflow in 20 minutes flat.

👉 How to generate professional motion graphics B-roll using just code—for the cost of your Claude subscription.

👉 Google's quiet move that's pushing everyone into AI Mode (and why SEO traffic isn't coming back).

👉 The leaked ChatGPT ads pricing deck—and why the first advertisers might make a fortune.

👉 Sam Altman admitting GPT-5 "screwed up" on writing—and what that signals about the next model drop.

👉 Why starting a WordPress site in 2026 is a mistake you'll regret by December.

Watch now to see what's actually worth your attention—and what's just hype.

An open-source AI agent is buying things with people's credit cards. And everyone's installing it anyway.

While the AI labs were quiet in January, the underground exploded. Multbot (formerly "Claudebot") gives AI full root access to your computer—and thousands are setting up dedicated Mac Minis just to run it. 

ChatGPT ads are officially rolling out at $60 CPM. 

Google's new 4K video model just embarrassed OpenAI's Sora. And we discovered a skill that finally makes Claude Code useful for building n8n workflows.

The internet is about to become unrecognizable.

While you've been focused on which chatbot writes better emails, the entire foundation of online business is shifting beneath your feet. This week alone: Google launched "Personal Intelligence" that knows your Gmail, Photos, and YouTube history. Anthropic released Claude Cowork. X turned into the world's largest deepfake generator. And Google quietly dropped the Universal Commerce Protocol—which could kill the checkout page entirely.

In this episode, we break down the 7 stories reshaping AI and what they mean for your business. You'll discover:

👉 Why Gemini's new Personal Intelligence makes traditional "AI optimization" nearly impossible to track—and what to do instead.

👉 How Claude Cowork lets AI work with your local files (and why one YouTuber lost 11GB of data using it wrong).

👉 The Cling Motion Control update that lets anyone create real-time deepfakes—and why trust online is about to collapse.

👉 Google's $1B Apple deal that's designed to starve OpenAI of growth (not just win users).

👉 Why the Universal Commerce Protocol could be the "death of the website" for e-commerce.

👉 X's AI image editor generating 70x more deepfakes than the entire dark web—with zero guardrails.

"AI will do to you what the internet did to your parents."

Watch now to understand what's actually changing—before it changes without you.

ChatGPT isn't the best AI tool anymore.

While you've been using ChatGPT out of habit, the AI landscape has completely shifted. OpenAI's CEO called a "code red" as ChatGPT's market share collapsed from 87% to 65% in just 12 months. Meanwhile, Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude have quietly become the tools serious business owners actually use. The gap is only widening.

In this episode, we break down exactly what's changed and what you should be using instead. You'll discover:

👉 Why Gemini now offers dramatically better value for $20/month than ChatGPT (and it's not even close).

👉 How Claude Code is turning "vibe coding" mainstream, letting non-technical people build real tools and automations.

👉 The Wall Street Journal experiment where Claude ran a vending machine—and gave away a PS5 for free.

👉 Why Anthropic is making half of OpenAI's revenue with a fraction of the users (and what that means for you).

👉 The AI skills stacking up right now that will separate winners from those left behind.

2026 is the last year to catch up.

Watch now to find out which AI tools actually deserve your time—and which ones are coasting on hype.

In this episode, we’ll show you exactly how to set it up, even if you're not a technical person. You'll discover: 

👉 How to connect ChatGPT to your favorite apps like Notion, Stripe, and LinkedIn to automate your daily tasks. 

👉 The different methods for setting up MCP connectors, from official integrations to using services like Zapier. 

👉 Practical, real-world use cases you can copy to streamline your business, from generating reports to analyzing sales data. 

👉 A head-to-head comparison with Claude's similar capabilities and where ChatGPT still falls short. 

👉 How to leverage other new powerful features like Projects, Branching, and the advanced Codecs model.

Is traditional SEO dead? And is "ranking" on ChatGPT and other AI chatbots the new frontier for traffic and sales?

Many businesses are seeing their search traffic decline, while a new, highly-lucrative source of customers is emerging from AI-driven conversations. But how do you tap into this new channel? And what happens when AI starts giving out outdated or just plain wrong information about your brand?

In this episode, we're joined by Steve Toth, founder of the AI-focused agency Notebook.agency, to break down the new world of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). We explore the real-world opportunities and the hype surrounding AI-driven traffic.

The game has changed, and what worked for Google yesterday might not work for AI assistants tomorrow. In this episode, you will learn:

👉 The Truth About AI Traffic: Is the traffic from chatbots a tiny trickle or a high-converting firehose? We look at the real data.

👉 Why AI Gets Your Business Wrong: We share our own shocking experience of how ChatGPT described our business using two-year-old information and what you can do about it.

👉 Mastering "Generative Engine Optimization" (GEO): Steve reveals practical, actionable tips to influence what AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity say about your brand.

👉 Beyond Keywords - Winning "Deal-Breaker" Questions: Learn why optimizing for specific, high-intent customer questions within LLMs is more powerful than traditional keyword ranking.

👉 On-Page & Off-Page GEO: Discover how to structure your website content for optimal AI retrieval and how to correct misinformation about your brand on external sites like Reddit.

👉 The "Truth Alignment Framework": Steve unveils his agency's process for auditing and correcting how AI represents a brand online, ensuring your key features and selling points are accurately reflected.

👉 Prompt Injection & Future-Proofing: We explore some cutting-edge (and slightly controversial) techniques to feed information directly to AI models and discuss where this is all heading.

Stop letting AI misrepresent your business. Learn how to take control of your brand's narrative in the new age of search and turn AI chatbots into a powerful channel for high-intent customers.

Think AI is just for simple tasks?

Imagine going from zero to $1,000 per day by creating AI agents that deliver high-value services like expert-level email newsletters, content marketing, or even SEO, with clients paying $5-10k/month.

But how do you actually build these agents without being a tech wizard?

In this episode, we break down exactly how to build MCP-enabled AI agents.

This new method gives AI superpowers, allowing it to browse the web, scrape social media, and perform complex tasks just like a professional would, enabling you to offer incredibly valuable services or automate them in your own business.

We reveal step-by-step techniques rarely shown elsewhere, including:

👉 High-Ticket Email Newsletters: Automate engaging, revenue-driving newsletters (using TypingMind, Perplexity, Firecrawl & Claude).

👉 Social Media Analysis: Scrape and analyze top-performing content (e.g., Twitter with Appify) to develop winning strategies.

👉 Content Idea Generation: Uncover viral topics by scraping Reddit and YouTube comments.

👉 Full YouTube Scriptwriting: Create detailed video scripts by extracting and analyzing transcripts from top videos.

👉 Advanced SEO Reporting: Integrate Google Search Console for automated analysis and competitor insights.

👉 MCP Server Integration: Learn to connect powerful tools (Appify, Perplexity, GSC) to your AI agents.

👉 Effective Agent Prompting: Craft system prompts that guide AI through complex, multi-step research and creation.

👉 Model Selection for Agents: Choose the right AI model (e.g., Claude, GPT-4.1) for specific agent tasks.

👉 Go beyond basic AI and learn how to build sophisticated AI agents that automate high-value services, conduct in-depth research, analyze data from multiple sources, and create compelling content, even if you're not a "tech wizard."

ChatGPT just unleashed groundbreaking image generation, changing the game for visual content overnight. In this episode, we dive deep into this powerful new feature, moving beyond the memes to uncover its real business potential. We reveal 4 specific techniques—rarely discussed elsewhere—that unlock vastly superior results compared to basic text prompts, including how to leverage sketching and reverse-engineer winning styles.

From instantly creating scroll-stopping thumbnails and scalable ad creatives (even realistic UGC!) to generating unique marketing graphics that bypass expensive designers, we share exactly how businesses can implement this tool today. We also explore the current limitations, the potential disruption to designers and platforms like Midjourney, and how this technology levels the playing field for creators everywhere.

Felt limited by coding skills or steep developer costs? AI just unlocked the ability for anyone to build custom web tools, obliterating the traditional $10k price tag and months-long waits.

In this episode, we dive deep into "AI Vibe Coding"—the groundbreaking approach letting you command AI to build functional web applications like interactive calculators and custom features, often faster than writing the spec.

We reveal the practical techniques—rarely shown step-by-step—including crafting AI-driven PRDs and using conversational prompts to generate and refine code, even if you've never touched code before.

From building lead-generating calculators to deploying interactive tools directly onto your site with platforms like Gemini, Lovable, and Windsurf, we share exactly how solopreneurs and marketers can implement this today.

We explore the shift away from traditional development, the surprising power now in non-coders' hands, and why interactive AI-built features are the future of websites.

Send us Fan Mail

In today's episode, we're diving into what might be the biggest shakeup in SEO this year.

Google's biggest crackdown yet has hit major publishers like Forbes, WSJ, and CNN, slashing their affiliate traffic.

Perfect timing – as the DOJ pushes to break up Google's Chrome dominance and OpenAI develops their own browser.

Meanwhile, publishers are mobilizing to monetize AI's use of their content.

In this episode, we're breaking down why Google is finally going after these big sites and what's happened to the search results now that they have.

Plus, what this new browser war means for your SEO and business strategy and how AI is reshaping the entire game of content creation and monetization in ways that people are only just beginning to realize.

This is one episode you don't want to miss.

In this episode, we're breaking down why Google is finally going after these big sites and what's happened to the search results now that they have.

Plus, what this new browser war means for your SEO and business strategy and how AI is reshaping the entire game of content creation and monetization in ways that people are only just beginning to realize.

This is one episode you don't want to miss.

In today's episode, we are playing Google Update Roulette.

The rules are very simple:
1. We give you a URL and you have three minutes to open it, look at the site and decide if it went up or down with the recent Google update.
2. You are not allowed to use any SEO tools to look at recent trends, backlinks or traffic, just your gut feeling, clicking around and Googling things.

Play along, count your your points and let us know what your score is in the comments.

And if you're not interested in playing, don't worry.
There’s a lot for you in this episode as well, because each of the examples that we are going through is symptomatic of a major change that we've seen with the August 2024 core update.
And we'll go through a short analysis of what happened and other sites that have seen these changes too, once we reveal the answer for each website.

So whether you're looking to play along or you just want to know what has changed with the recent Google update, there is something for you in this episode.

We haven't been 100% truthful with you lately. And today we want to come clean. 

Hundreds of you have bought our latest product (the Product Review Profit course we’ve recently released that teaches you how to scale the Amazon Influencer Program) and... most of the content used during the launch was AI created.

🤖 80-90% of the words used were written by Claude 3.5 Sonnet 
📩 including the sales page AND the sales emails 
💸 convincing enough for people to swipe their credit card

We created AI content so convincing that it wasn't just undetectable, it also generated 6 figures in revenue in just over a week.

That’s the proof most content creators never give you when they share their AI system. We had to lie to you so we could see how robust the system was in a real setting with lots of money at stake. (A marketing Turing test, if you will.)

And in this episode, we'll show you exactly how we did it, plus some other game-changing applications of AI in our business.

We haven't been 100% truthful with you lately. And today we want to come clean. 

Hundreds of you have bought our latest product (the Product Review Profit course we’ve recently released that teaches you how to scale the Amazon Influencer Program) and... most of the content used during the launch was AI created.

🤖 80-90% of the words used were written by Claude 3.5 Sonnet 
📩 including the sales page AND the sales emails 
💸 convincing enough for people to swipe their credit card

We created AI content so convincing that it wasn't just undetectable, it also generated 6 figures in revenue in just over a week.

That’s the proof most content creators never give you when they share their AI system. We had to lie to you so we could see how robust the system was in a real setting with lots of money at stake. (A marketing Turing test, if you will.)

And in this episode, we'll show you exactly how we did it, plus some other game-changing applications of AI in our business.

Just as we sat down to record our 1-year anniversary of the HCU podcast, Google threw us another curveball... A massive update that's seemingly undoing some of the HCU damage.

But even with these improvements, many sites are still down 80% in traffic compared to last year. To fully recover, they'd need a 400% increase.

So the burning question is: What do we do now? 😧

In this episode, we created an inventory of what's effective today, so you can explore all the options out there and find a strategy to invest your time in now that will yield dividends later down the line.

We break down real-world examples of businesses thriving with alternative strategies, how we're adapting our own strategy, and our predictions for what will work in the years to come.

We're talking real businesses, tangible results, and actionable strategies you can start implementing today.

Want to learn how to build a repeatable, manageable system to actually make socials generate big bucks for you?

We’re not talking spamming shitty AI images to boomers on Facebook or Pinterest.
We’re talking *building a real business that will survive platform changes*, unlike many of the tactics floating around these days.

In this episode, we chat with Lucy Simkins to reveal how she transformed her side hustle to a 7 figure per year business - in one of the most competitive markets - without relying on Google at all.

We break down her exact content creation process for achieving incredible reach, unique lead capturing strategies, and exactly what works (and doesn't!) in her sales funnels.
Lucy was incredibly generous with information throughout the interview, so whether you're learning how to use social to build an email list, or how to monetize it, this episode has something for you.

It's no secret that the industry has been struggling for nearly a year now following the HCU. And it's been particularly difficult for beginners to get started, as established sites have been dominating search results. 

So the question everyone’s asking is what future-proof tactics should beginners actually be doing in 2024? (That isn’t spammy or potentially illegal.)

 In this episode, we chat to Jared Bauman, co-host of the Niche Pursuits podcast, about the game-changing way he made an impressive $40k in only a few months, without driving traffic, showing his face, or spending a dime: the Amazon Influencer Program.

We've just uncovered tons of tech that site owners should be using to scale their sites WAY better.

The Authority Hacker site redesign has just been completed, and we've already managed to more than DOUBLE our conversions using some weird new elements that we'll share with you in this week's episode. (A particularly big deal now that Google sends less traffic to websites.)

We specifically built it to increase engagement based on what we’ve learned from the recent Google leaks, and even used AI to help us in some parts.

Let’s face it.
Google is probably never going to be the same easy traffic source it has always been.

You won’t be able to solely rely on Google traffic to run an online business anymore, if that’s what you’re used to.

So the question a lot of people are asking now is:
What now? 😳

While nothing is a 1:1 replacement to Google search, in this episode, we talk about ONE of the things we are doing to diversify away from Google traffic: Meta ads.

We’ll show you exactly
 👉 how we plan and build a funnel
 👉 how we angle our ads, how we target them
 👉 how much money you should spend…
 
 … and a ton more practical details for those of you who are interested in taking action.

We’ll also talk about why we think it’s one of the safest ways to go for traffic and a bunch of other high level debates for those of you who are still on the fence.

As we come to the end of the March 2024 Core update, many things have changed in the Google landscape, and it’s time to start looking at where we landed.

To help navigate these changes, we wanted to bring a guest that’s out in the trenches every day - prominent and very opinionated character in the industry, Lily Ray 🔥

She hares a ton of interesting insights about SEO on social media, including a lot of original research.

In this episode, Lily and Gael get straight to it and cover many of the hottest topics in search right now, including:

👉 the visibility changes of pure content sites and how your business model may affect your visibility
👉 Reddit and Quora monopolizing search results and how long it may last
👉 HCU, and the divergence between Google’s guidelines and what we observe
👉 signals outside of the“traditional” that Google is giving a lot of importance to these days

We also take a look at specific examples - and they often break the rules - so don’t miss out on this one.

RTINGS.com is one of the most successful product review sites of all time. Despite 'only' having a DR 75 domain and competing against sites like PCMag, Tech Radar, New York Times, the Wire Cutter, and CNET (all DR 90+ sites), they have over 4 million monthly organic visits. 

So how exactly did they pull this off?

In this week’s episode, Mark sits down Pauline Duthiel, Head of Digital Marketing at RTINGS.com to take a look behind the scenes at what SEO looks like at one of the world's most loved review sites - and it was nothing like we expected.

Google just released a fat core update and all the rules you know about SEO are about to change again. As Google has already started de-indexing what they deem to be low quality sites, content auditing has never been more important.

It's the process that might save you from an extinction event during the next update, or could resurrect your site if you've already been affected. Plus, it's the only process that's consistently shown results for websites affected by previous large updates like Panda, medic, spam and core updates.

So in this episode, we dive into what this latest core update means for SEO practices, and break down exactly what you need to do to curate content that will keep Google - and you - happy.

Did you know that Google is about to introduce a new web vital metric? 😨

Neither did we.

But this news did prompt us to take another look at our site speed setup, and we wanted to bring in a pro to help us out.  So in this week's episode, Gael chats with Brian Jackson - the guy behind the enthusiast site speed plugin, Perfmatters.

He's seen hundreds of site setups, this week he critiques our setup and gives you tips on how to fix your setup as well.

If you've ever wondered:
👉 if the number of plugins you use is cutting your site speed
👉 what the best CDN setup is
👉 what caching plugins you should never use...

...or even if you should delay or defer your JavaScript, then you won't want to miss this one.
