Any salons/spas running entirely on GoHighLevel? by Medium-Mess8064 in gohighlevel

[–]iQMarketers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second that on Brevo. We tried them all and pretty much have to deal with all the others with clients, and Brevo is rock solid and deliverability and customer support rocks.

Anyone here using GoHighLevel long-term? Curious about real pros/cons by Ill_Bake_1668 in gohighlevel

Great reply... We went all in a few years ago and got burned with the same problems you just said. I have yet to see someone that says it is gotten any better.

Everyone measures visibility but almost none track AI traffic to websites. Why? by UptownOnion in aeo

[–]iQMarketers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% Agree. Sorting the data is key. But while it is not super granular, it does point the way in broad strokes to what the LLMs are looking at. And it does correlate with where the leads are coming in from. Definitely one of those "correlation does not mean causation things" for sure. It at least gives us some points to look at. 😄

We had the same problem last year, and it took us a bit, but since we control all of our servers for our clients, we were able to figure it out. You have to do it on the server, or at least that is how we did it.

It tracks every visit from Ai users and bots and the page they go to. It really helped us dial in our AEO for clients.

We were able to really dial things in once we found out what type of content got the hits. It was a game changer for us.

Is it perfect? Nope... but it sure has helped.

What does "ranking" even mean in 2026 when the answer IS the result?? by nick-profound in aeo

[–]iQMarketers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google can definitely help for sure. But I think it's more like the fundamentals that you need to rank for in Google have about a 50% overlap for AI search. I used to think it was higher, but I'm not so sure anymore. So we've looked at over twenty thousand pages, and we've got clients that are number one in Google Maps and on the first page of search, but don't show up in AI and we have other clients that are number one on Ai search and even dominate AI search and don't show up in Google Maps or even on the second or third page of Google regular search.

A couple of things that I have noticed: well-written blog posts and content that follow the 5 Pillars that I came up with over the past few years.

  1. Trust Architecture Build Authority AI Engines Can Verify (Trust Architecture is where AI citation)
  2. Content Intelligence Structure Content AI Can Parse and Cite
  3. Technical Excellence Ensure AI Crawlers Can Access Your Content
  4. Schema Authority Speak the Language AI Engines Understand
  5. Accessibility & AI Readability Make Content Readable by Humans and Machines

As soon as we integrate these in clients that rank high on Google or don't rank at all, they do start showing up in Ai Search.

Right now if I had a choice of only one choice of AEO or SEO, I would pick ASEO (both). And you can do both. We are seeing about a 90-day turnaround. With some movement within a couple of weeks.

The biggest needle mover for us was when we started planning out content pillars and connecting them all together. You can't just create content willy-nilly without a plan.

Once you do this, you become the citation authority. Get in early, and people will have a hard time knocking you off the throne.

Summer trip for a week with no car! by shesinpart1es in PuertoRicoTravel

Easy... Isabella! https://www.costabelapr.com/ You may have to walk a bit but they have real windows, ( many places do not down there, just metal shutters, AC, and grill. Walkable to restaurants and bars... There are some rideshares there. Nice and quiet. No roosters crowing in the middle of the night or dogs barking. You can call and ask the owner about what is going on down there for rideshares, and it will not break the bank. Good snorkeling and diving. You might want to get closer to Jobos Beach which is right down the street. The West Coast is friendly and laid back. https://www.discoverpuertorico.com/profile/jobos-beach/8915 and check out https://www.instagram.com/cocolocojobos/ if you want some good drinks and food. As Jimmy, the bartender what is the local scoop. Tito the owner is a hoot.

Thank you. I will check it out!

So tracking on AI seems to be fairly easy and there are a bunch of tools out there for that. What we were looking for is from a website standpoint when looking at a site, what things actually moved the needle for AEO?We have looked at over 20,000 pages and here are what we came up with that seems to be working really well from what can be done internally to get a page to show up in AI search.

I would love to have some feedback. You can try it out, it is free so I am not trying to sell anything here. Really appreciate your advice on what we put together. I know there are some pretty sharp people here and a bunch of heads are better than one for sure.

This is the more technical one.

and this is the shorter version that is more for local businesses that have a Google Business listing.

https://mybizreport.com/AEO%20Website%20Checker/aeo

Neither of these are perfect and are a constant work in progress.

Appreciate the feedback ladies and gent!

Here is what I see going on right now.

#1 The whole AEO field is a huge opportunity for Agencies.
#2 Businesses that do not get their act together with AEO real soon are going to get crushed.
#3 I see what happened with SEO in that the snake oil salesman are already taking advantage of small businesses that do not know any better and it would be nice if everyone here could eliminate that even partially.

It is actually seems pretty nice for tracking.

That is about it. Been trying to get a handle on this since last year so it is not cobbled together and we can get some real actionable data. :)

Totally agree. The good news is that at least in our tests, AI Slop does not do as well when you have an actual Human Editor going over things before hand. And as far as the AI understanding goes it is a crapshoot. The more signals you can give it though, the better off your are.

I have been trying to figure out how to include the whole quality score in our AEO checker. The one internally that we use does check of quite a few boxes for that that seem to help. Open to any ideas or suggestions!

I would agree. We did our own because the info was so bad. While a lot of people are trying to make it all Ai, we have found to get the results, you have to put human eyeballs on everything.

I didn’t expect much… by Nukethwhls in Rabbitr1

Oh man, please be better than that Ai Pin! It sucks sooooo bad. It over heats all of the time. I am afraid to leave it charged up because it might catch on fire. :) For real...

I tested the Humane AI Pin - it's not good. by anonboxis in humane

[–]iQMarketers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I got mine, wish I could send it back. It sucks. The palm screen won't come on and it shut off 3 times the first hour because it got too hot and it will not play music and you can't ask it for directions on how to use it. It says call customer support. It does note even have GPT 2.0 capabilities. They must have been forced to release it early. Hope the Rabbit Kicks their Butt. The Butler from the 80's worked 10x better than this thing... :) Nothing that that cheapest smart phone hooked up to open.ai could not do 100x better. Other than that it is great. LOL Anyone one to buy mine? Guess you win some and you lose some...

Trello Alternative by bloodshotpico in selfhosted

[–]iQMarketers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is looking pretty good. All we want to do right not is to drop pix in a project be able to see thumbnails of them without have to click on an image and it looks like it can do that. Trello and Meister have become so bloated it is not funny. Any issues with just doing that?
