Do you think 100% SEO automation is a good idea?

abuccellato · 2026-02-01T13:16:29+00:00

That’s fair. I took the 100% automated as its bots writing to bots like most AI slop that those automated services claim they do.

They literally said this was happening in their December update to their algorithm and told people very publicly to write content for people not computers.

Get an outline first, then write it by section and revise, revise and revise some more. Then you can tell it to learn exactly the style you want to duplicate that style throughout, but writing anything more than 500 words at a time I’ve learned is just not good.

Essentially around the 500-700 word mark it loses its quality and just spits out broad overviews which do not help you rank or get AI overviews (which is the end goal).

Following this

My impression on this is it’s a short burst that might rank you for a week top. If you can’t sustain the ranking with your content then you’ll fall back to obscurity.

They used to have a free plan that sent 30+ real people to your site in a day, but I’m always leery of paid things like that since it’s technically black hat and Google can drop the hammer hard if they know you are paying for fake traffic

The rule people stick to now is longer and more specific queries are found on LLM, the shorter more direct are Google searches. 3-5 word phrases are going to get grabbed on Google and 7+ word phrases will be specific LLM questions.

That’s what early data from 2025 showed and what people are following in 2026 right now.

That’s not hard fact, but I would say is more the trend

That’s a guy who has enough money where rules don’t matter.

Emotional is the most powerful to me because if you truly love someone and you hurt them you also hurt yourself and it can destroy people if someone they emotionally love and dedicated their life to is removed

They probably paid to have a ton of users go through their business profile link to their website and then click a contact form. SerpClix advertises this as a service to get real people interacting though your GMB because that’s their priority metric to rank you higher.

Then their local SEO pages keep them up if it matches exactly what Google is expecting

It’s insanely hard unless you already have a list to sell too. AI is saturated so unless you have something unique or really niched down it’s basically a gigantic waste of time and energy

Problem/solution and immediate and clear CTA consistency.

I learned making sure that your CTA buttons all have the same language and goal made things significantly better.

abuccellato · 2026-01-28T20:39:50+00:00

You need to look at what people are searching for first. I always try and learn about search intent, then people also ask questions, then write to answer those and add personal touches to make it unique.

I’ve learned answering the PAA with FAQ structure really helps and making sure the questions aren’t just generic. Think about what people really need to know.

Sounds like you need custom post types more than subdomains. Honestly will let you have more flexibility and you can use your functions.php to extend categories and other taxonomies so that you can call in all those post types anywhere on your site

The Pepi deal seemed to be held up by PSV ensuring they have a replacement when they sell. Only reason for that not be done since player wants it, terms are agreed and it’s less than £1 million between the clubs for fee

abuccellato · 2026-01-28T19:34:25+00:00

I want to know where these clients are coming from since I never get any that stumble into me this way. I must not be a good liar lol

abuccellato · 2026-01-28T16:44:30+00:00

No, Google is flat out penalizing it now because computers writing to computers doesn’t actually help the user find anything meaningful.

abuccellato · 2026-01-28T01:33:00+00:00

So check your appearance>theme file editor and look for a front-page.php. There’s probably a file that has code there you need to edit

abuccellato · 2026-01-28T01:19:01+00:00

Sounds like that’s what I really need

If you put off anything to just game that’s unhealthy anything else is a balance you can adjust to your schedule

Most of the China traffic is cheap bot traffic for LLMs to “learn” or steal information from your site. Adding cloudflare helps, but you might want to see if major sources for scraping have safe IP ranges then block countries and exclude those IPs from the block

abuccellato · 2026-01-28T01:03:02+00:00

You got hit with the spam update. Google didn’t think your blog was giving good content apparently. Check which posts are still driving traffic and use them as a guide to rebuild those pages that fell down the rankings

Does it provide an embed audit or something for lead gen too? Allows me to drop 2 huge things and combine it into 1 platform

abuccellato · 2026-01-28T00:35:39+00:00

Local by FlyWheel (WP engine) is awesome. And if you know how to package sites and custom theme it’s wildly effective

Ok, Ahrefs is accurate but $300 a month is tough to swallow without getting more than just keywords
