87% of people read reviews before choosing a local business. But most businesses have no idea what buyers are actually looking for when they read them - and it is not just the star rating.

Google is adding social profiles to Discover, AI still struggles with accuracy despite the money being poured into it, publishers remain uneasy about AI Overviews, TikTok wants a bigger role in real-world events, and Meta is expanding AI business messaging. Different stories, same trend: platforms are working hard to become the middleman in more of your customer relationships.

How to Structure Content So AI Systems Actually Cite It

2026-06-08T17:50:36+10:00Categories: Content Strategy & Creation, GEO - Generative Engine Optimisation|Tags: , , , , , , , |

AI systems can't infer context or follow a discursive argument. Content written without that in mind may be well-written and uncitable simultaneously. Here's what the structure needs to look like, and why most of it is also better writing.

Schema and Structured Data for GEO: Beyond the Minimum

2026-06-08T17:51:31+10:00Categories: Content Strategy & Creation, GEO - Generative Engine Optimisation, SEO, Technology & Development, Virtual Chief Digital Officer|Tags: , , , , , , |

Most schema implementations validate and do almost no GEO work. The properties that build entity associations (knowsAbout, sameAs, about, mentions) are consistently empty. Here's what full implementation actually looks like.

Who Should Do GEO? In-House, Agency, or Something Else?

2026-06-08T17:45:02+10:00Categories: Content Strategy & Creation, Digital Marketing & Strategy, GEO - Generative Engine Optimisation, SEO, Technology & Development|Tags: , , , , |

GEO requires technical, content, and strategy capability, often across different disciplines. JB gives an honest assessment of in-house, agency, and hybrid options, and addresses the AI tools question directly.

What is Entity Targeting and Why It Comes Before Everything Else in GEO

2026-06-08T17:46:44+10:00Categories: Content Strategy & Creation, GEO - Generative Engine Optimisation, SEO, Technology & Development|Tags: , , , , , , , |

Entity targeting defines which AI associations your business should own. Without it, every GEO activity that follows is aimed at an unknown goal. Here's what the process involves and what breaks when it's skipped.

What Does It Actually Take to Appear in AI-Generated Answers?

Appearing in AI-generated answers requires specific work across six components, in a specific order. JB maps the full picture and explains the sequencing logic that most GEO content skips.

GEO vs SEO: What’s the Difference and Do You Need Both?

2026-06-08T17:38:53+10:00Categories: Content Strategy & Creation, Digital Marketing & Strategy, GEO - Generative Engine Optimisation, SEO|Tags: , , , , , , , |

GEO and SEO are not alternatives. They are sequential layers of the same objective. JB explains what each does, where they share foundations, and why the "vs" framing is the wrong question.

What Your Potential Clients Do Before They Ever Contact You

Most business owners think the sale starts when someone picks up the phone. It does not. Your potential clients have already Googled, checked your website, read your reviews, and scrolled your social media before a single word is exchanged.

Digital Marketing in 2026: Why Continuity Beats Intensity

The traditional campaign cycle is over. In 2026, digital marketing success comes not from standout moments but from sustained execution, channel coherence, and operational discipline — the kind of consistency that compounds over time.

Google keeps giving itself a larger role in deciding what people see, OpenAI is building an advertising business, YouTube wants recommendations to feel like conversations, and email marketers are being reminded that strategy still matters. Different stories, same theme: platforms are becoming stronger gatekeepers, while marketers have less control than they used to.

Google AI Mode in Australia: A Visual Walkthrough of What’s Actually Changed

Google announced the biggest changes to search in 25 years at I/O last week. I wanted to see what's actually live in Australia right now. So I ran the same queries across Chrome and Safari, desktop and mobile, standard search and AI Mode, and recorded what I found.

AI search keeps absorbing Reddit, Google wants ads inside conversations, nearly half the web may already be AI-written, and B2B buyers trust automation far less than marketers hoped. The common thread is fairly obvious. Platforms keep compressing discovery into AI systems while audiences become steadily more suspicious of what they are being shown.

Social Media in 2026: Less Forgiving, More Powerful

2026-05-20T09:23:22+10:00Categories: Content Strategy & Creation, Digital Marketing & Strategy, Social Media Management, Virtual Chief Digital Officer, Virtual Chief Marketing Officer|Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , |

Social media has not become less important — it has become less forgiving. Brands that still treat it as a content queue are quietly falling behind, while those that understand its role as a discovery surface and trust layer are gaining durable advantage.

Why Your Website Gets Visitors But No Calls or Enquiries

Traffic without enquiries is one of the most frustrating places to be. The interest is clearly there - people are finding you. Something between that first click and the phone ringing is broken. Here is what it usually is.

Content in 2026: Why Quality Has Finally Won

2026-05-12T16:47:48+10:00Categories: Content Strategy & Creation, Digital Marketing & Strategy|Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

The era of publishing more to rank more is over. In 2026, content that is clear, credible, and durable has become the most reliable growth lever available — but only if it is built as infrastructure, not just output.

Google’s AI Search Guide, the Ahrefs Schema Study, and the AI Content Panic: What’s Actually Worth Your Attention

Google's AI optimisation guide and the Ahrefs schema study both dropped this week, triggering the usual tribal warfare. Before you pick a side, read a 20-year SEO veteran's breakdown of what the evidence actually supports, what's commercially motivated, and the contradiction in Google's advice that nobody is talking about.

Search is getting fuzzier, LinkedIn wants to own B2B discovery, TikTok keeps building a bigger ad machine, and Google still rewards structure over “great content” alone. Underneath all of it, platforms keep adding abstraction while marketers quietly return to commercial basics. Funny how often the industry ends up back there.

5 Reasons Your Competitors Show Up on Google and You Don’t

If you have ever Googled your own services and watched a competitor appear above you, you know how frustrating it feels. The good news is it is rarely down to luck. There are specific, repeatable reasons why certain businesses dominate search results - and most of them are more fixable than you think.
