As Grumpy AI Skeptics, we're not surprised to see the recent rush to optimize for AI search. The trouble is, we also lowkey expect that the extreme push to optimize will basically make AI search worthless.

You might have noticed that, as your business has grown, you don't need the same website support as a brand-new business does.
And those years of experience often come with some growing pains. Sometimes, those growing pains clog up your website and ruin your user experience.

The other day, we had to rescue an accidentally-deleted page on a client’s website.
This wasn't exactly an uncommon occurrence for this client. Another agency had built their website, and long story short, it was a mess under the hood.
