The pain of dreading The Thing is worse than the pain of doing The Thing.

Plus! there is a bonus: The power/joy you get once The Thing is done. 🎉

Do The Thing as soon as you can. 'Eat the frog" or get it done as soon as you can / first in the day.

This is a great way to get rid of anxiety. ⚡🔋

🌶️ De La Viuda: A Cholula Alternative! 🌶️

Not every sauce needs to bring the fire: it’s about flavor over flame. De La Viuda is all about balance: smooth, flavorful, and approachable. On the Josh Hot Scale, I’d rank this at a 3/10. Think Cholula vibes—a trusty go-to

💡“Anchor text is a promise to be fulfilled.” ⚡ #AmyZwald #BrightonSEO

Agreed—it’s a chance to set expectations!
Use CTAs and page links to guide users strategically and respectfully.

Google says: “This text tells people & Google about the page you’re linking to.”

Set expectations & keep promises

Feeling inspired by Martha van Berkel’s #BrightonSEO talk. I’ve said that schema is dead for local SEO, but that was dumb.

Schema will become increasingly valuable as the world shifts to different search interfaces.

Make it easy for the bots to understand your business, people, attributes.

Ensuring Google can see important content on your site is an essential part of Technical SEO.
You worked hard on your site! Make sure Google and everyone else can see it!

Ha! @wilreynolds.bsky.social - Google must have heard your lecture last night. #Brightonseo
Google put its money where its mouth is with Site Reputation Abuse today.

Just yesterday I posted how it was odd that Forbes Advisor was dropping, bouncing back, etc.

Today? The entire folder is penalized & deindexed. Plus its /health/ folder. And many other similar site sections on other sites. 🤯
