In my previous Search Engine Journal article, I introduced the concept of Brand Sovereignty: the idea that there should be no better source of truth about your business and products than you. Responses from readers, both directly and on LinkedIn, confirmed something I had suspected for some time. Most organizations understand why Brand Sovereignty matters, but […]
Every site you have ever optimized carries a record of that work, and it is more detailed than the platforms usually admit. Search systems have kept a per-domain profile for years, assembled from signals you know intimately because you spent a career shaping them. That profile is real, it is granular, and it never needed […]
I was asked a great question, and it’s something I talk to clients about on a very regular basis: “Should every page do all things? I’m struggling to work out which pages should be optimized for CRO and which should be to build the brand.” Blog posts and informative pages (brand-building pages) are likely meant […]

Google’s John Mueller answered a question related to something a Redditor was using that’s called an llms-author.txt. The person who posted the question is having a hard time being found for their name because it is the same as two other more popular entities, making it more difficult for people to find them and discover […]
Chrome’s new Lighthouse Agentic Browsing audit treats your .txt file as a markdown document. If your llms.txt does not use markdown link syntax, you fail the audit, even when every link in the file is accurate and works. I ran the audit on nohacks.co. Two of six audits passed. Three came back not applicable. One […]
