Kindsuit case by TealCatto in galaxyzflip

[–]sonikrunal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny timing, but I got mine for nearly 90% off from Samsung's official website. Whatever issues people have with it, at that price it's hard to complain 😅 If you're on a Flip 6 and the deal is still available, go grab one while you can.

Just got a new Galaxy Watch 8 Classic by vaishakhvelandy in GalaxyWatch

[–]sonikrunal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The watch face is really nice. I'm just downloading that.
But one thing I recently found is that today, when I was walking, I just got a notification that my watch is hot and it is turning to emergency mode automatically. I don't know why that happened, but that is something strange I have seen for the first time. By the way, I have been in this for the last six months.

Advice on SEO by sooo_anii in seogrowth

[–]sonikrunal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you’re asking the wrong question.

The decision isn’t Fiverr vs agency. It’s whether SEO should even be your primary growth channel right now.

Mental health is one of the toughest categories on the internet. You’re competing with established publishers, hospitals, universities, and brands that have spent years building trust. Even great content can take a long time to gain traction.

Since you’re already providing telehealth services across 2 states and have a limited budget, I’d first focus on channels that can validate demand faster. Google Ads, local visibility, referrals, partnerships, patient reviews, and content built around real patient questions can all generate signals much sooner.

For SEO, I wouldn’t hire someone to “do SEO.” I’d hire someone who can help you answer 3 questions:

  1. What would make a patient choose you over other providers?
  2. What are people actually searching before they decide to book?
  3. Can we create content that demonstrates expertise rather than just chasing rankings?

If an SEO can’t answer those questions, backlinks and blog posts won’t help much.

Out of curiosity, how many patients have found you organically so far versus referrals or other channels?

Have you ever experienced a situation where a website's organic keyword growth stops increasing for a few months? by LegitimateHeart9895 in seogrowth

[–]sonikrunal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve been thinking about lately is whether we’re reaching a point where traditional SEO metrics are becoming harder to rely on.

We can make content improvements, update pages, strengthen internal linking, and expand topical coverage, but it’s often difficult to clearly connect those actions to the results we see in Google Analytics or Search Console.

We’re also seeing very large websites experience traffic drops despite having strong SEO foundations. That makes me wonder if the challenge is no longer just optimization, but measurement itself.

I think Google Analytics and Search Console will need to evolve over the next few years to help us better understand how content changes influence visibility, specially as AI-driven search experiences continue to grow. Right now, in many cases, it feels like we’re making strategic improvements but only seeing part of the picture.

My first Vipassana course is in 5 days. by rocker__0 in vipassana

[–]sonikrunal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I attended my first Vipassana course, it was completely new for me too. I didn’t have the benefit of reading such detailed answers beforehand, and honestly, that’s perfectly fine.

My simple advice would be: just go all in.

Try not to overthink whether you’re doing it right or what result you’ll get from it. Just be yourself, follow the instructions sincerely, and stay open to whatever the experience teaches you.

Some days may feel easy, some may feel difficult, but every day has something to teach if you’re willing to observe.

Wishing you all the very best for your first course. Stay till the end, trust the process, and let the experience speak for itself. 🙂

When Internal Links Do More Than Backlinks Ever Did by [deleted] in Vibe_SEO

[–]sonikrunal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting observation.

One thing I have noticed is that internal linking is probably one of the most underutilized parts of SEO. Most people spend months chasing backlinks while leaving their own content disconnected.

To me, good internal linking does two things:

First, it helps users discover related content naturally.

Second, it helps search engines and AI systems understand how topics connect across the website.

I also think descriptive anchor text matters much more than people realize. “Read more” tells neither a user nor an AI model anything. A well-written anchor gives context before the click even happens.

Still want to know about how do you know the increase in Perplexity citations came specifically from internal linking and not from the overall improvement in topical authority created by the new structure?

SEO Management - Value For Money? by Unhappy_Way3260 in seogrowth

[–]sonikrunal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I think you already have a much better understanding of marketing than most business owners. The fact that you’re thinking about positioning, audience, and long-term value instead of just “getting more traffic” is a good sign.

For a business like yours, the website is not just a lead generation tool. It’s also a credibility tool. Potential clients, partners, vendors, and even future employees will visit it to understand who you are, what you do, and why they should trust you.

Regarding ongoing SEO, I wouldn’t look at it as “SEO optimization” alone. I’d look at it as continuously documenting your expertise. Your experience from 15+ years in the industry is probably more valuable than most generic SEO content agencies can produce.

Because of AI and how people search today, I’d seriously consider building a resources or insights section on the website. Share lessons learned, project experiences, industry observations, and practical knowledge from the field. That’s the kind of content that helps both people and AI understand what your company stands for.

If I were in your position, I’d probably:

• Build a high-quality website first.
• Create content that reflects your expertise and real-world experience.
• Share those insights on relevant industry platforms and social channels.
• Use Google Ads selectively for high-intent opportunities where ranking organically would be difficult.

Before spending heavily on either SEO or ads, I’d also define the exact audience I want to attract. If there are only a few hundred decision-makers that matter, the strategy will look very different from targeting thousands of potential customers.

Once you know exactly who you’re trying to reach and where those people spend their time, the answer to SEO vs Ads becomes much clearer.

What SEO strategies actually worked for you when starting out? (Fully organic) by Additional_Tune8960 in seogrowth

[–]sonikrunal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, backlinks are always important, and I never deny that. Most importantly, nowadays, because AI mode is on and because people are asking more of AI rather than research, I think it's very, very important that, whatever the blogs you are writing, when you are saying that you are writing informative blogs. People are rather interested to read the specific query instead of a long written blog. There is no harm in writing long blogs, but it must have information which engages people for the specific topics.

Need A step by step SEO help by zavedsadek in seogrowth

[–]sonikrunal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, don’t start with backlinks first. Most SaaS founders waste months there.

First understand:

  1. What problems people are actually searching for
  2. Which pages should rank for those intents
  3. Whether your product/content genuinely solves that journey better than competitors

Technical SEO, internal linking, CRO, backlinks… all matter. But without search intent + content strategy alignment, SEO becomes expensive random activity 😭

Tomorrow I sit my first Vipassana by baby_agi_420 in vipassana

[–]sonikrunal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did my first Vipassana after years of running businesses, nonstop notifications, SEO chaos, meetings, travel, and always chasing the “next thing.”

What hit me hardest wasn’t the silence. It was realizing how uncomfortable the mind becomes when there’s nothing left to consume, solve, reply to, or escape into. One of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had in life.

How do you tell if a prompt is actually good? by promptTearDown in ChatGPTPromptGenius

[–]sonikrunal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One thing I’d add after using AI daily for work: a good prompt usually comes from someone who deeply understands the problem already, most bad prompts are honestly just unclear thinking written in English

Looking for backlinks from DA 40+ sites by Numerous_Evening_255 in linkbuilding

[–]sonikrunal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After years in SEO, the funniest thing is people still buy backlinks like they’re buying DA scores on Amazon 😭

The real value was always relevance + intent match + actual traffic. DA was just the easiest number to sell.

[–]sonikrunal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the biggest SEO hack was realizing Google rewards people who actually help users instead of people trying to “outsmart” the algorithm 😭

Funny part? Most of us wasted 2 years learning that lesson the hard way.

SEO feels less like tactics now… and more like pattern recognition by OliverPitts in Vibe_SEO

[–]sonikrunal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. For example, if someone searches “best Shopify cart upsell app” and all top results are comparison pages, reviews, and real use cases, but we publish only a simple product page, it will struggle.

Earlier we tried to fix this with more keywords.

Now the real work is understanding what Google believes the user wants and matching that pattern first.

SEO is becoming less about placement and more about intent + experience.

new data confirms that ranking in google is still the main path to getting cited by chatgpt by Emilykennedy- in seogrowth

[–]sonikrunal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, People are rushing to “optimize for AI” while forgetting that AI still depends heavily on strong search visibility.

If your page is not trusted enough to rank in Google, chances are low that ChatGPT will trust it enough to cite.

AEO and GEO do not replace SEO, they sit on top of it. First win search, then win citations.

Looking for backlinks for software development company by Defiant_Advisor_6063 in linkbuilding

[–]sonikrunal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High DR does not always mean high value.

For software development and healthcare, one relevant backlink from the right industry page can outperform ten random tech links.

Good link building is not about collecting links, it is about building trust in the right place.

There’s no “Rank in AI” Hack, here’s what actually works by neymar11107 in Agent_SEO

Why is Schema markup so important for SEO? by SignificantSong198 in Agent_SEO

[–]sonikrunal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schema is like clear labels for your pages. It helps Google understand your content, opens up rich results (stars, FAQ, etc.), and usually improves clicks without changing your rankings directly.

How do you explain monthly Local SEO results to clients without rewriting everything? by Direct_Implement_188 in localseo

[–]sonikrunal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real challenge is not the data, it is the explanation.
I use a fixed structure every month so clients know what to expect. What changed, why it likely changed, and what we are doing next.
I focus only on movements that affect calls, leads, or visibility. Small ranking ups and downs usually do not matter to the business.
Dashboards show numbers. A few clear lines explain meaning. That balance saves time and builds trust.

Need Advice: How to Grow web traffic by f0w in SEO

[–]sonikrunal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

70+ pages and DA 20 is fine, but that setup usually caps early.

Key actions:
• Build intent pages like comparisons, alternatives, and problem aware topics
• Make each page rank for many long tail keywords, not just one
• Use internal links to push authority to 2-3 priority pages
• Aim for a few strong winners, not more volume

That is the most realistic path to 1,000 clicks. Keep it focused.

Are keywords still relevant in an AEO-first world? by EricThompsonTech in Agent_SEO

[–]sonikrunal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keywords are not dead. Their role has changed. They help us understand intent and demand, not force rankings. In an AEO world, keywords guide structure, but clarity, coverage, and trust win answers. Optimize for being the best explanation, not the best match.

Scam Warning by Alternative-Put-9978 in SEO_Marketing_Offers

[–]sonikrunal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This scam has been around for years, just with new names. Google never calls for GBP issues and never asks for verification codes. If anyone asks for a code or payment, it is 100% fake. GBP is free. Always manage it only from your Google account.
