How AI gave me a business, took it away, and is now carving my future. (AUDIO ONLY - PODCAST)

Oh boy, finally another podcast episode! This is an unscripted chatting episode where I share the story of what happened to my agency. It formed because of an understanding of AI - except I didn't know that at the time. Imagine my surprise when I realized that wait a second - Panda and Penguin - the Google algorithm shifts that made me obsess over SEO and leave my career as a veterinarian - were machine learning systems.
It was understanding AI that created my SEO agency. But, understanding and optimizing for Google search was also our downfall. I expect many of you are going down the same road I did.
It is time for a huge mindset shift when it comes to SEO. We found out in the Department of Justice's Trial against Google that user engagement plays a much bigger role in determining rankings than we thought.
I hope you enjoy this episode!

Thank you for sharing your story. Don't feel too bad about driving your car down an ATV trail because of Google. Google directed us down a path in Greece that turned into a staircase! It was impossible to turn around after we accidentally went two ancient stone stairs. At least you didn't have old Greek ladies screaming and laughing at you while hanging their laundry.😮
