The polished glossy finish has always been Appleβs βgo toβ option for its wireless earbuds, and while it looks flawless, it attracts a lot of dust and fingerprints. For those who are extra picky about these trade-offs can just purchase an aftermarket case and call it a day. However, one AirPods Pro owner took things to the extra mile and got rid of that gloss using sandpaper. Now thatβs one way to get rid of a problem.

Rob's Money Lab offers free, privacy-first financial tools that help answer the question, "Am I okay?" You can upload a bank CSV to get your spending categorized across 17 categories, a realistic budget based on your actual patterns, and identify hidden recurring costs β all in about 60 seconds and without needing an account.
Everything runs in your browser. No data is sent to a server unless you opt into AI insights, which only accesses category totals. This tool is designed for users who find budgeting apps overwhelming. If you're skeptical, try it with sample data first.
Some advertisers are reporting that a Google Ads system tool designed for low-activity bulk changes is automatically enabling paused keywords β a behavior many account managers say they havenβt seen before.
What advertisers are seeing. Activity logs show entries tied to Googleβs βLow activity system bulk changesβ tool that include actions enabling previously paused keywords. The log entries appear as automated bulk updates, with a visible βUndoβ option.
Historically, the tool has been associated mainly with pausing inactive elements, not reactivating them.
What we donβt know. Google hasnβt publicly documented the behavior or clarified whether this is an intentional feature, a limited experiment, or a bug.
Itβs also unclear what triggers the reactivation or how broadly the behavior is rolling out.
Why we care. Unexpected keyword reactivation can quietly alter campaign delivery, affecting budgets, pacing, and performance β especially in tightly controlled accounts where paused keywords are intentional.
For agencies and in-house teams, the change raises new concerns about automation overriding manual controls.
What advertisers should do now. Account managers may want to review change histories regularly, watch for unexpected keyword activations, and use undo functions quickly if unintended changes appear.
Until Google provides clarification, closer monitoring may be necessary for accounts relying heavily on paused keyword structures.
First seen. The issue was first flagged by Performance Marketing Consultant Francesco Cifardi on LinkedIn.

There's been a lot of talk lately about Sony's formally unannounced (as of yet) PlayStation 6 console. The most recent report from earlier today revealed that Sony is even considering delaying the PS6's tentative 2027 launch window to 2028 or even 2029, largely due to the ongoing RAM and storage crisis that has driven component prices literally through the roof. The report came from MST Financial Senior Research Analyst David Gibson, who had already suggested last month that the PlayStation 6 could be delayed beyond previous estimates, thus also extending the lifecycle of the current PlayStation console, the PS5.

Hiring an SEO agency can be a game-changer for brands looking to outshine the competition in search results.Β
That said, an SEO agency is only as good as its partnership with its clients. Thatβs when SEOβs true value can be realized.Β
What this looks like practically is working together towards shared goals and keeping momentum high. Sometimes thatβs easier said than done.Β
Hereβs what you can do to ensure you get the most from your SEO agency partnership.Β
Because when youβre aligned, you make progress faster and, in turn, can better prove ROI.Β Β
Your company sets the business goals, and SEOβs job is to get the traffic to help you reach them.Β
The more you align on goals with your agency, the more effective an SEO program will be.Β
Before any campaign is launched, the business and the agency need to discuss how to align SEO with your business goals.Β
This meeting is even more effective when you can get cross-departmental stakeholders to weigh in.Β
Objectives can be anything β for instance, market expansion, revenue, building brand authority, enhancing the customer experience, or something else. When executed well, SEO can support nearly any business goal.Β Β
This is also an excellent time to facilitate SEO training across teams.Β
When departments are aligned on the foundational concepts of SEO, they can understand SEOβs function and their role in it.Β
Dig deeper: SEO prioritization: How to focus on what moves the needle
What does a productive kickoff meeting look like? Here are some things that are important to cover:
Setting all these expectations early creates accountability that keeps the project moving and makes it easier to measure success later.
If youβve put in the research, vetted several agencies, and hired the best one, then thereβs a bit of mindset work that may need to happen next to make the relationship as strong as it can be.Β
While blind trust isnβt the goal, SEO agency clients should prepare themselves to receive and trust their SEO agencyβs advice β after all, thatβs why you hired them.
This is relatively simple.
Giving your SEO agency full visibility into historical and real-time performance sets your SEO team up for success on day one.Β
Set up a protocol for agency access to:Β Β
Finally, ensure agency access is built into onboarding for any new tools and systems you adopt that may impact SEO.Β
Dig deeper: How to onboard an SEO agency the right way
SEO often needs the cooperation of many teams.Β Β
If youβve done a good job of including the department leaders in the SEO planning phase, then you will likely get more done.Β
To remain accountable, itβs advisable that all necessary team members attend key meetings with your SEO agency.Β
The more they hear things firsthand, the smoother the implementation will go.
However, even the best plans can go awry when teams with competing priorities collide. This might be a question of culture, but that doesnβt mean you canβt make progress.
You might look into solutions like:
The more streamlined and responsive the collaboration, the faster your SEO efforts can gain traction.Β
Your agency brings deep expertise in SEO, but only you know your brand, offerings, and customers on a deep level.Β
This is why collaboration on content is necessary to create truly relevant, helpful content that search engines will rank.Β
Rather than relegating SEO content to the agency with minimal involvement, commit to being an active partner in the process.Β
This can include the following action items:Β
Sharing brand guidelines, tone of voice, and existing messaging frameworks are all helpful.Β
Your agency should work as an extension of your marketing team, and that starts with having some guidelines for how the brand communicates.Β
Nothing can get a content team up to speed quicker than reviewing existing content assets or plugging into an internal calendar.Β
Here are some ways to transfer knowledge with your SEO agency:
Identify in-house subject matter experts who can provide input or be interviewed as needed for the content.Β
You canβt satisfy the βexperienceβ or βexpertiseβ aspect of Googleβs E-E-A-T framework for quality content without some firsthand knowledge.Β
Work together on outlines or briefs to align on structure and intent before drafting begins.Β
Content is much stronger when in-house and agency teams are aligned before the content creation process starts.
Review drafts not just for accuracy, but for alignment with your customersβ needs and expectations.Β
The most important thing in SEO content is ensuring itβs relevant to your customers.Β
The best content will align with your brand and your customers and sound like it came from your company.Β
Strong SEO content comes from brands that bring the knowledge only they can provide.
One of the biggest bottlenecks to SEO progress is waiting. Waiting for approvals, feedback, access, answers β all of these hinder your ability to compete faster in the search results.Β
For a more streamlined process, approve all deliverables and tasks promptly.Β
Making a commitment to moving the project forward could mean you have hard deadlines for turnaround times.Β
To make this step more efficient, you can look into:Β
In SEO, speed is often a competitive advantage. Streamlining the approval process is one way to keep momentum.Β
Donβt be surprised by the results you didnβt get from the work you didnβt do.
Often, there are SEO tasks that need to be implemented on your end and require resources.Β
Not implementing SEO agency recommendations is a prevalent challenge, and probably one of the biggest reasons clients end up leaving an agency.
The sole purpose of spending anything on marketing is to bring more money in than went out.Β
When internal teams stall on implementing SEO tasks, it can halt the agencyβs momentum, hinder your search progress, and waste the companyβs budget.Β
Technical SEO execution is often where SEO projects lose the most momentum.Β
This is where bringing in IT and dev teams early on in the SEO process is invaluable. When they understand why a change matters and impacts performance, they are more likely to get on board.Β
Regardless, you can still build in some guardrails to be proactive:Β
Take the time to make the updates that your SEO team says are worth the effort.
If the task is difficult or time-consuming but will have a big impact, do everything you can to get it done.
Doing what your competitors are unwilling or unable to do is how you win.
The technical foundation is what enables SEO to scale. The faster you can clear any roadblocks here, the sooner your investment starts delivering results.
Dig deeper: Why governance maturity is a competitive advantage for SEO
SEO is a long game. Itβs only natural that excitement and momentum are high early on, but after a while, engagement can taper off.Β
Client-agency partnerships often find their groove over time. The brand trusts the agency, and the agency knows what to do.
But from this place, cracks can begin to form. Maybe youβre not communicating as much, and that lack of communication can lead to gaps in knowledge β on both sides.Β
Here are some tips to help you stay just as engaged on Day 365 as you were on Day 1.
Be sure to attend regular check-ins and reporting calls to review progress and surface questions.Β
Itβs easy to miss calls when things pull you away, but staying committed to SEO means showing up, even if itβs just for 15 minutes.Β
Share updates on business priorities, product launches, or changes in market strategy.Β
Itβs important that SEO remains at the strategy table so it can adjust as needed.Β
Trust in your SEO agency also comes with accountability. So hold your SEO team accountable.Β
If you see a decline in rankings, traffic, or revenue coming from search, you need to have a conversation if they havenβt already brought it up.Β
Use these performance insights to adjust tactics, reallocate resources, or explore new opportunities.Β
SEO works best when both sides do their part.Β
The more aligned and collaborative you are with your SEO agency, the faster your SEO program can gain traction and deliver value.
When both sides bring their expertise, stay engaged, and remove friction from the process, SEO becomes a strategic business initiative.
