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, Walking into WordCamp Europe this summer felt like walking into high school as seniors. As usual, we knew many of the faces in the room, and we had experience on our side. The city was new (Kraków, Poland), but the energy was delightfully familiar. It’s like coming home to a community we’ve been with since freshman year. When you’re one of the “seniors,” you have wisdom to share with others who are earlier in their journey. We always love meeting people who are newer to the...
Hi Reader, June was a big month for learning, connecting, and keeping an eye on what is next in the world of WordPress. From Hazel and Rachel attending WordCamp Europe in Kraków to our team monitoring upcoming WordPress Core updates, we are continuing to stay plugged into the tools and trends that help us better support our clients and their websites. 🌍 WordCamp Europe 2026 This June, Hazel and Rachel headed to Kraków, Poland for WordCamp Europe 2026, one of the largest gatherings of the...
Hi Reader, A few weeks ago, some of our servers were hacked. The days that followed were pretty intense (think late nights, heads down and dedicated to a quick clean-up). This was the second security incident we experienced in the past year (the one before that had been at least 10 years ago). When that last incident happened, we had put in additional safeguards, so our immediate priority was understanding how it could have happened again. Hazel and I leaped into action as soon as we caught...
