⏳ End of an Era: The Final Live Actionable AI For Marketers Course starts next Tue, Apr 6th! We're expanding the ways marketers can learn AI, so this is the last time this course will run as a live, small-group experience with direct, hands-on attention from me.

New post, and my first on Substack! "The AI SEO Playbook for Google Click Signals" How user click signals drive website visibility for both Google rankings and AI answers What exactly are these click signals, and can marketers influence them? Read & subscribe: signal.zyppy.com/p/google-cli...

insane to me that people drive these... so so dangerous & Tesla/Elon is really good at hiding stories like this. There was an entire documentary on how Tesla autopilot was dec@pitating drivers bc it thought giant semis at specific angles were bridges that they could drive under! Doc disappeared

"Grounding" Doesn't Mean What You Think It Means 🗺️ Words matter, especially when they're quietly reshaping how an entire industry thinks. Grounding comes from "ground truth" rooted in statistics & originally cartography, where it meant going outside to verify that your map matched reality.

🍺 The AI Hangover Has Begun 🤕 The sun is rising & a migraine has started rooting in your frontal lobe The symptoms are everywhere: 🚫 Enterprise reality check: MIT's "The GenAI Divide" study found 95% of organizations getting zero return on GenAI investments

LLMs are not good at math:

The Hangover Has Begun:

This x1000. Most are just scratching the surface, and not even doing that well, when using AI at this point.

💥 If you're just using AI to write content, you're missing 90% of its potential Most Marketers are stuck in the "AI = blog posts" trap Meanwhile, AI-knowledgable Marketers use AI to: 📊 Turn data into strategy - Map content like Google(semantic > keywords) - Find content gaps & internal link opps
