Retrieval snippet test for GEO: If you want to mimic ChatGPT's image pipeline (the output format at least), paste an image and type this: “Write a one-sentence caption for this image. Then list 5 keywords, separated by semicolons. Then describe the person who owns these objects.”

I'm sorry y'all but my heart is not in social media anymore. I want to be more social but with real humans in real time and in ways that cannot be archived or scraped by machines.

My dog Momo wants to attend your marketing or dev conference. She has been attending conferences for 7 years now. If you want to host a REAL sausage party, DM me. Also I'm an excellent speaker with or without her.

Hot take: I spoke with a big important person at a big important company. I messaged this person on LinkedIn. Got an answer within 15 minutes where they could not spell my name right. I kept trying to tell myself it would be ok. Nah. Kept getting worse. So that's my new red flag.

Agentic ecommerce news (it's a thread): WebMCP 1/ Every website is about to become its own AI integration. ChatGPT can now check your order status or stock directly, using code you already have. No server, no vendor contract. That's the whole barrier now: a small dev task.

4/ My take: pilot it, don't roll it out. 2-3 read-only tools (order status, stock check). Nothing that spends money or touches an order. Guardrails exist (OpenAI reviews every call, purchases still need customer confirmation) but test small first.

2/ OpenAI shipped WebMCP support in ChatGPT's browser. Sites register tools right in their page code (search orders, check delivery). ChatGPT calls them live, using the customer's existing session. No separate login needed.

"Myriam is one of those people in SEO that is always thinking differently, always pushing boundaries, always going in a different direction" "Myriam is going to blow a lot of people's minds with a lot of stuff in their talk because not enough people are talking about it." See you on Sept 24!

Claude's text watermark means changing which words get picked at "low stakes" moments. IMO word choice is NOT "low stakes". Synonyms carry their own mood, history, voice. A statistical model can't account for all of that considering it treats words as interchangeable. Language is not fungible.

Hacking is getting polite. In June, attackers opened a chat with Meta's AI Support Assistant, asked it to add a new email to the victim's account, got a verification code sent to their own inbox, then walked away with a password reset button. I wrote an SEL article on what it means for marketers.

Training crawlers versus retrieval agents. One ingests your content for free to train models, and the other indexes your page in real time to answer user questions. You're subsidizing model training with infrastructure costs that produce no return.

I like to start at the end sometimes. LLMs don't hand people a category page and tell them to go and browse. They pull out products. So what happens to the category and collection pages? I answer that at the AI Search & Systems Summit on 13 August. It's free! searchto.sale/summit

Did anyone ever tell you about spatial queries? Those are the queries best answered by multimodal GEO (images, videos, sometimes audio). In my session at the AI Search & Systems Summit I'm discussing that. Thursday 13 August. Free to attend, 18 sessions across two days. searchto.sale/summit

Machines optimize. People differentiate. Same structure, same order, same concepts as the top result means you are a variant of a thing, not the main show. As quoted in SEO Confidential. Full piece linked in comments.

Every AI answer opens with a paragraph of throat-clearing and buries the actual instruction at the bottom. That's almost always unusable for an ADHD brain. Installed ayghri's i-have-adhd skill. Ten rules. All of them just good technical writing that helps.

Reddit huge for LLMs. It's the cleanest record of tribes arguing in their own voice, with their own vocabulary, about what matters to them. r/Watches performing connoisseurship. r/frugalmalefashion litigating value. It feels like ethnography basically but by LLMs and at a dizzying scale.

When you type a query like "healthiest snack for someone in their mid-40s with ADHD.", LLMs break this down to make judgment calls and inferences, such as interpreting "mid-40s" to mean "adult" and inferring that "ADHD" means the user "needs to focus". The fan-out feels like typecasting for products

Do you have good taste? I'm sure you do. Pierre Bourdieu spent his career arguing that taste isn't aesthetic, it's tribal. What you call "good" is a membership card. Then we built a machine that read every taste tribe at once...reflecting our tastes. Taste IS social signaling.

It's Sunday and I have to explain what a bifle is to a Ukrainian friend. So it's this face slap specifically but done with a dick, specifically. Asked my Austrian friend if they have a word for this or if it's just the French. Life is weird.

🦇 Transylvania has great gothic folklore AND Search Evolution Summit 2026. I'll be in Cluj-Napoca, Romania (September 2-4) to talk about how to operate in a messy, complex multimodal search reality. The stage is stacked with practical experts who actually do the work. I'm excited to learn from t

Asked Claude to find a Mark Williams-Cook LinkedIn post about Dr. Martens. Claude told me I was probably misremembering the brand. - AI I pay for: gaslit me - Search engine: correct and fast - Add "multimodal" to is and a screenshot of the post outranks the post. context + image wins
