The biggest myths about SEO in the age of AI
|
Hi Reader, Our clients have been asking us a lot about SEO and how to prioritize it now that AI search is so huge. There’s real confusion and even some fear, which I think is natural. The unknown of new technology is daunting. Especially when there are so many conflicting opinions floating around online. I’m a website developer, and I still have to stay on my toes to keep up to date. These things move fast, and we’re all constantly learning. But that’s my job! I’m sure you’ve heard people throw around ideas like….
Or maybe you’ve been blocking out all the chatter about AI search, hoping it all magically works itself out. (That’s what I do when the Baltimore Orioles are in last place mid-season.) Either way, it’s all good. As your go-to Left Brain website tech nerd, I want to dispel some of the confusion. To start, we wrote a blog post to bust 3 of the biggest AI & SEO myths. One of the main things I want you to understand is that, at Drio, we always start by prioritizing the humans who will visit your site. Then we build in strategic elements that make it easier for bots to crawl your content (to help you show up in traditional search engines and AI chatbot queries). It doesn’t have to be an either-or situation. You can satisfy the machines that recommend your site and the humans who reach out. That’s the only way, in my opinion. Read the blog on AI search myths If you have questions, send them my way. Or better yet, come to my next office hours!

Hi! I'm Rachel, the Left Brain of Drio.
Hi Reader, August was a month of evolving, connecting, and looking ahead. From continuing to grow long-term client partnerships and digging into important website privacy updates, to refreshing Office Hours and getting closer to sharing what’s next with WholeSite, there’s been a lot happening behind the scenes at Drio. Here’s a little peek at what we were working on throughout the month. 🌱 How United Way of Central Maryland’s Website Keeps Evolving We’re highlighting one of our favorite...
Hi Reader, Rachel and I recently went to a presentation for international exchange alumni (because of our Professional Fellows experience). During the event, one of the presenters shared how he’s now working with a peacebuilding organization called Mediators Beyond Borders. You know I’m all about a good analogy, and I absolutely loved the one he referenced. He described peacebuilding as similar to the Japanese art form kintsugi, which is done by repairing broken pottery using a gold substance...
Hi Reader, I don’t usually work late, but when I do, it’s because I’m fully immersed in something, head down, earbuds in. Recently, I was up late working on WholeSite, the AI-assisted website building tool we’re developing. When I finally came home, I asked my husband if he wanted to see what I had been doing. I hadn’t actually told him much about WholeSite yet, so I gave him the spiel. I told him WholeSite will allow entrepreneurs to create a high-quality WordPress website on their own. It...
