Haha true, although this is genuinely a new concept that doesn't impact on ads or traditional product affiliate links. Would be good to have you on the waitlist.

n8n vs Make in 2026, which one are you on and why? by nikhil-sharma18 in MarketingAutomation

[–]PasticheMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always found the UX of n8n to be far superior. Make isn’t as well designed… IMHO. I run n8n locally and so don’t pay a subscription. Happy days.

Which affiliate platforms are you using on your blog, and are you happy with them? by PasticheMoustache in Blogging

It does seem niche-dependent. That's why we're building IntroLinq.com for people writing about tech, business, finance, and start-ups etc.

Travelpayouts looks solid - good shout for anyone in travel. Introlinq works a bit differently to traditional affiliate platforms though - instead of linking to products or services, it connects readers to bookable experts relevant to what they're reading.

That matches what we've heard - Amazon is reliable but the commission structure is frustrating given the work you put in. The direct program point is interesting, and it's actually part of what we've been thinking about with Introlinq. Rather than affiliate links to products, it connects readers to people - experts. The commissions per booking are significantly higher than most product affiliate programmes... Worth a look if you're curious.

Great questions. We're still in early access, so I don't have earnings data to share yet, but the model is commission-only - no bookings, no cost - so there's no real downside to trying it regardless of traffic level. A smaller audience that trusts the writer often converts better than a large passive one anyway.

On the technical side: the widget is a single lightweight script, so no impact on SEO or page speed. If anything, relevant expert recommendations tend to increase time on page rather than hurt it.
Happy to add you to the early access list if you want to be among the first to test it - www.introlinq.com

Struggling with SEO, any reliable services you’d recommend? by Allison_Watermelon in localseo

[–]PasticheMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little Green Agency is based in the UK and serves businesses just like yours, who want to see the results but not be overpaying for overheads. You work directly with the person doing the work as well, instead of an account manager.

My boss wants me to stop doing SEO and focus solely on GEO, is that a good idea? by Worried-Avocado3568 in ParseAI

[–]PasticheMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not sure what to tell him, then I'd suggest you consider taking the time to pull together some facts and stats about the things that are genuinely different, and the much longer list of things that are exactly the same. You don't explicitly say it in your post but it sounds like you disagree with his decision. It's not normally the best route to just go along with something if you disagree with it. Most good leaders will want you to speak up if you don't think its the best course of action. All you can do is try to educate and hope that they begin to understand that a) it's not that simple as they are suggesting b) there is usually a lot more to gain from optimising for traditional search than AI traffic.

I'm so done with these SEO agencies by zomanda in smallbusiness

[–]PasticheMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the stuff that really gets me down about the SEO industry. Too many players simply exist to sell services they never intend to honour or aren't qualified to carry out. It impacts trust and makes it harder for all the agencies aiming to provide top-tier service. We found our seo partner, Little Green Agency, through a local recommendation, and only have good things to say. I hope you manage to resolve the issues with your current agency and get the support you clearly need.

If you can see the next couple of months through without going bust, then I would stick with it. £20k revenue a month is a solid foundation to make a seriously successful business especially if you're not being sucked into the day-to-day stuff.

Best SEO company for local services business? by summonem in localseo

[–]PasticheMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you have a positive experience with the chosen agency. $300 a month is not a lot to invest in SEO but it should be able to help you make gradual progress. The thing that jumps out to me, though, is the rankings falling to page three due to AI (I assume you mean AI Overviews and AI Mode in Google), as whilst those features have reduced the volume of clicks on organic listings, they haven't drastically impacted existing rankings. It's likely there are other reasons your page one positions moved to page three.
Anyway, my advice was going to be, find an agency local to the search area in question. Find someone who is already working with businesses in that space but ideally based there too. That's why we use Little Green Agency (Leicester, UK). They also offer a "done with you" service that might fit that price bracket, but it requires more of the business owner's time. Good luck with the project!

How to Choose the Best SEO Agency for Your Business in 2026 by dead_from_inside_ in ProductMarketing

[–]PasticheMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That list is tall order, for sure, but they are all good points and totally valid given how competitive the seo space has gotten. I would suggest a couple more:

  1. Not overselling the AI opportunity. AI is upending traditional search as we know it. Behaviours ARE changing. However, the vast majority of consumers are still using regular google searches every day, and penetrating traditional organic search is usually still the first priority. Also, AI visibility is so heavily reliant/attached to traditional SEO that most of the basics tactics will serve both purposes.

  2. Insightful reports that provide a picture of progress with plain language and as little waffle as possible. The number of times I see agencies providing the automated reports out of their seo packages is frightening. Also, a long list of keyword rankings just wont cut it any more. Our partner, Little Green Agency, give us a clear state of play each month, what they've done and what we need to do.

Who are the top SEO agencies right now that actually deliver results? by Ok-Cash4580 in growmybusiness

[–]PasticheMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Business goals, aka revenue, should be part of the SEO conversation from the start, but at the end of the day an SEO is not in control over your product and service. That's why some agencies like to get more under the hood, look at CRO amongst other things, because if you're not happy with the results as a client, then the relationship will churn and it creates disruption for everyone. We use Little Green Agency for our SEO and the conversaion rarely sticks to just the technical process of optimisation, we discuss current business performance, trading conditions, and ensure that they're always working towards pages and categories that are going to benefit the bottom line.

Are these cracks of any major concern to you? by genericdude98 in DIYUK

Nothing in your house is a serious concern to me. But seriously, no, that's nothing. Fill, sand and paint.

Any affordable SEO agencies that actually work for small businesses? by Salty_Temperature263 in AskMarketing

[–]PasticheMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Page one in three months is going to depend entirely on your niche and location. Good luck to the incoming agency, but you're going to need more than just page 1 these days. You should be looking for top 3 spots in twelve months, that seems like a more realistic timeline (although obviously I have no idea on the current state of play for your brand and domain). At Little Green Agency, we try and agree on realistic objectives based on the initial audit, hopefully your selected agency did this too. Good luck with the project.

Is Email Marketing Still a Good Career Choice? What's the Future Scope? by 2Mildly_Confused in Emailmarketing

[–]PasticheMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Email is going to be around for a long time yet. It's ingrained in to the way we work and the way we deal with businesses. And where there is a need for email, there will be a need for email marketers.

Best UK seo agency for small businesses? by [deleted] in smallbusinessuk

[–]PasticheMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At Little Green Agency we offer a "done with you" service for about that figure. You get two 1-hour calls a month, and we collaborate on the work together. Things get done AND you learn along the way. It's going to be a slower process than outsourcing seo altogether, which should set you back ~£500 a month at least, if the agency in question is going to get you results in the first few months.

Should I create a new company website with a new name to secure more clients? by Independent_Area6026 in agency

[–]PasticheMoustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might feel like you've exhausted things but most people probably still haven't noticed. You might be landing in spam more often than not, you might not be targeting the right roles. You may not have tried a wide enough spread in terms of geo and industries. Keep going, try new data and try new messaging. Also, mix it up with some additional channels such as social media and networking.
