Thoughts on Technical SEO, AI Search & Automation

This is where I write about the things I’m testing, thinking about, or trying to understand better across technical SEO, AI search, and automation.

I definitely don’t have the whole skill tree unlocked. I’m just sharing the XP I pick up along the way.

Dive Into the Categories

Technical SEO

This category is for the deeper technical side of SEO.

Crawl behavior, rendering, site structure, internal architecture, and the small technical decisions that can have a big impact once a site gets large enough.

A lot of the focus here is on understanding how Googlebot moves through a site, what it sees, what gets in the way, and how to make that whole process cleaner.

No magic tricks. Just better systems and fewer structural problems.

SEO Automation

This category is about using code and tools to take repetitive SEO work off your plate.

Python, APIs, low-code workflows, data collection, reporting, technical checks. Anything that saves me from doing the same boring task for the hundredth time.

Most of what I share here comes from something I got tired of doing manually and decided to automate instead.

Less clicking around overall.

AI Search (or AEO, or GEO, or Whatever)

This category is about making your content easier for AI systems to understand and use.

Structured data, internal architecture, content cleanup, entity relationships, and all the small details that help machines make sense of what’s on the page.

A lot of it comes down to reducing ambiguity and giving systems better signals to work with.

Just making the information clearer, more structured, and harder to misinterpret.

Tools and Tech Stack

This category is about the tools I use, test, and keep around because they make the work easier.

API clients, crawlers, analyzers, browser extensions, workflow tools, and the random little utilities that end up becoming part of the stack.

I care about where tools fit, what they’re good at, and whether they’re worth using again.

I’ll also review tools I find interesting, test what they can do, and share where I think they’re genuinely useful in SEO workflows.
