Not live yet. These new features and reporting do not seem live yet but Microsoft still showed them off.
Why we care. More transparency into how your content is performing within the AI search results is useful. So we all welcome additional reporting from Bing Webmaster Tools.
It is not clear exactly how these reports will work and when they may be live for you and me, but you can read those posts for more details.
If youβre reading this, youβre likely an SEO aficionado like me. Iβm a seasoned SEO with 10+ years of agency experience.
Being on the agency side gave me deep SEO expertise, exposure to top industry talent, and experience working with some of the worldβs most well-known brands.
I did a bit of everything on the agency side β from technical SEO to content marketing to new business.
Working at an agency is nothing like working in-house. After a long run on the agency side, I moved in-house for the first time. Here are seven things Iβve learned since making the switch.
On the agency side, when performance drops, you know the drill: a frantic message hits your inbox β traffic is down β and the client needs a report on whatβs happening by yesterday.
You then spend the next few hours in the SEO trenches analyzing search trends, tracking ranking changes, and digging through Google Search Console to find your answers. You cross your Tβs. Dot your Iβs. You beautify that report a bit. And β finally β you fire it off to your client.Β
After sending the report, you may get a few questions from the client. A little back and forth, but for the most part, your job is done. The fire drill is over. Youβve done everything you can from the agency perspective. On to the next client on your roster.Β
This situation looks a lot different on the in-house side.Β
From my new perspective, receiving that agency report is just the beginning. Now, Iβm the one on the hook for translating that analysis, figuring out how to socialize it, and turning it into a concrete action plan to turn performance around.
I always knew my clients were under a lot of stress. I figured their bosses were the ones catching the dips and asking difficult questions, leading to that inevitable frantic message in my inbox. But, boy, it hits differently when youβre the one getting asked those difficult questions.
When youβre in-house, you arenβt just reporting on a dip in performance β it feels like youβre defending your entire SEO strategy. The way you frame that data can make or break the projects or the direction youβre taking the program.
Itβs a lot of pressure β and itβs different when youβre responsible for the results.
On the agency side, the deliverable is the destination. You spend hours researching, analyzing, and refining a beautiful slide deck. Each slide flows, tells a story, and looks pristine. I mastered this β and did it fast.
Now that Iβm in-house, Iβve realized the deliverable isnβt the destination anymore.
Itβs all about the execution.Β
I was lucky enough during my agency days to have one engagement where I was deeply embedded in day-to-day operations. I was doing things like building dev tickets, reviewing Figma designs, and actually pushing CMS updates. I thought I knew exactly what execution looked like.
But executing while in-house is way more challenging than I expected.Β
In order to execute on an SEO strategy, you have to work through the entire org to bring your vision to life. You need to coordinate with the design team to review Figma designs. You need to align messaging and copy with PMMs. You need to work with project managers to make sure deadlines are being met. You need to work with devs to make sure the technical implementation is correct.
Itβs not easy. Sometimes itβs messy. And β quite often β itβs pretty frustrating.Β
But hereβs the truth: once you move from polished decks to pushing changes live, you become 10x the SEO you were before.
Dig deeper: Why branding matters for in-house SEO teams
One of the more interesting parts of making the switch to in house, was that suddenly, I became the client. Iβm the one on the other end of the video call. Iβm the one receiving the strategy docs. Iβm the one calling all the shots.Β
And honestly? Itβs been a huge (and super exciting) opportunity to take everything that Iβve learned on the agency side and put it into action.Β
And Iβve gotten to decide what type of client I want to be.Β
I had a wide range of clients on the agency side. Some disappeared. Some were demanding and made every call tense. Some pushed impossible deadlines. Some didnβt trust my judgment. Some couldnβt execute the strategy.
You name it β Iβve probably experienced that type of challenging client.
Then I had dream clients β kind, collaborative, and treated me like an equal. Calls felt like catching up with a friend before getting into SEO. They could take a strategy and execute without being demanding or difficult.
That was the client I wanted to be. And thatβs the client I strive to be, too.Β
Iβm a technical SEO at heart.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing the indexing rate improve after an XML sitemap refresh. Or seeing a massive improvement to Largest Contentful Paint after implementing Core Web Vitals optimizations. Or even a perfectly executed hreflang optimization to target your key international markets.Β
Chefβs kiss β it warms my technical SEO heart to see all this work get executed.Β
The problem? Your execs donβt understand that technical jargon.
Thatβs where storytelling becomes your best friend. And Iβd say itβs almost as important as the execution itself.Β
Because it doesnβt matter if you do all this SEO work if your bosses canβt understand it. You need to tell a story about what you did, why you did it, and the results. All in a simple, easy-to-understand format β ideally with a pretty visual right next to it.
Letβs take, for example, hreflang optimizations. You realize that hreflang is important. But how do you make it seem important for an exec so that they can understand it?
What I do is pretty simple. I explain the background behind why Iβm doing what Iβm doing and frame it in simple terms.Β
Instead of saying that we updated hreflang to target France correctly, I would frame it as improving the search experience for France searchers. Iβd then show a SERP screenshot of before the optimizations to show incorrect targeting, and follow it up with an updated screenshot with correct targeting. Lastly, Iβd share results β ideally, an increase in CTR, traffic, or conversions.Β
(Side note: If youβre one of my agency partners reading this, you know I ask for an insane amount of screenshots β but this is exactly why I do it.)
Following this formula allows you to:
Itβs a simple blueprint that makes it easy for execs to understand the importance of your optimizations.Β I know it may seem small, but storytelling is one of the secrets to success in in-house life.Β
Dig deeper: How to use the three-act structure for data storytelling
In a massive organization, itβs so easy to live on an SEO island. If youβre not collaborating, you can easily find yourself on a beach hanging out with a volleyball named Wilson β just optimizing <title> tags, writing meta descriptions, and optimizing on-page copy for keywords.Β
But thereβs absolutely no way youβre going to get anything meaningful done without the support and assistance from others within your organization.Β
You need to be a team player. And cross-functional collaboration is important for success.Β
After years on the agency side, I learned to move fast β really fast. When I went in-house, I tried to keep that pace. I wanted to make changes, test, and see results immediately. I saw documentation as a hurdle, and large cross-functional meetings without progress as a waste of time.
Quickly, I found out thatβs not the case. You need the support of those partners in cross-functional meetings to get things done.Β
It takes time to get to know your cross-functional teams and understand what theyβre good at, what their goals are, and β crucially β where they need support. Iβve learned that once you understand the developerβs sprint capacity or a product marketing managerβs roadmap, you can stop just requesting things from them and start partnering with them to get things done.Β
When you align your SEO goals with their existing priorities, you stop being a line item in their backlog and start becoming a teammate. In-house, having a teammate in engineering or product is the difference between a strategy that sits in a slide deck and one that actually ships.
OK, fine, I added a clichΓ© to the list. But in the in-house world, it might be the most important one.Β
Iβve been given this advice several times throughout my career. If you want to get something done, go get it done. Donβt wait around for permission from your bosses to do something that will have a significant impact. If you wait for permission, you may never get anything done.Β
Thatβs why I ask for forgiveness β not permission.Β
When I started in-house, I knew the team was lean. I knew my bosses had a million things on their plates. And, most importantly, I knew they hired me for a reason: to drive organic growth.
During my first few weeks, I remember asking myself, βCan I launch this content?β βCan I expand into this market?β βAm I allowed to test this tactic?βΒ
And then it hit me: This is exactly why Iβm here. They hired me to make these decisions and move the needle, not to add more approval meetings to their calendars.
And if I asked for permission for everything, I would never be able to get anything done.Β
This is why I trust my instincts when it comes to SEO strategy and execution. I rely on my 10+ years of experience in the SEO game. If I think something is going to drive growth for the business, I donβt just sit around and wait for permission to do something. I execute.Β
And if something doesnβt turn out exactly how I had planned? Thatβs when I take the forgiveness route.Β
Dig deeper: 5 lessons from delivering bad SEO news to executives
I did a lot of high-impact, business-changing work during my agency life. Iβve built the strategies, seen them come to life on a site, and watched them drive results. Driving results and building case studies have always been my favorite part of the job.
However, when youβre sitting agency-side, youβre often the silent partner in those results, not the owner.Β
Now that Iβm in-house, I get to see my projects come to life on the site β and itβs pretty cool.
During my first few months in-house, I knew I wanted to make an impact quickly. I implemented a few of my high-impact, low-effort optimizations β the ones I would typically implement for a new client I had just onboarded.Β
After reviewing monthly reports, I saw an insane spike in performance that lined up exactly with a significant site update we implemented.Β
I remember thinking, βWait, was that us?βΒ
The answer: It sure was.Β
I then created my first case study and shared the results throughout our organization. And, shockingly (to me, anyway), people were really interested. Within my first three months, I found myself sharing those results at our entire companyβs all-hands meeting β something I never expected to happen.Β
I used to think a massive organization wouldnβt be interested in SEO, but I was wrong. When it comes to moving the needle for the business, everyone cares.
So, yeah, itβs always fun to get SEO results. But itβs a lot cooler when youβre in-house.Β
Making the switch from agency to in-house life has been a lot of adjectives for me. Exhausting, challenging, and exciting are some of the first that come to mind.Β
But the biggest takeaway after one year in-house? Iβve learned a lot.
I hope you can take these seven lessons and apply them to your own journey β whether youβre at an agency or leading an in-house team right now.Β
The transition isnβt always easy, but for me, seeing the strategy finally turn into reality has made every cross-functional meeting and performance fire drill worth it.

Paid search platforms are getting better at deciding who should see your ads, often without relying on the keywords you choose.Β
As that shift accelerates, optimization is moving away from query-level control and toward signals like audience data, landing page context, and conversion behavior. Understanding that change is key to knowing what to actually optimize for now.
A decade ago, our world was defined by the illusion of control. Every decision we made was anchored in the keyword. Hypersegmentation and single keyword ad groups (SKAGs) ruled the land.
If possible, weβd build a unique landing page for every single keyword in every single ad group. The process was tedious, manual, and we loved it because we felt like we were the ones driving the machine.
Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how much you miss spreadsheets and Editor), times have changed. Weβve long speculated about whether Google and Microsoft would finally sunset keywords altogether. That day feels closer than ever.
From Performance Max to the emerging AI Max solutions β and even the shift toward contextual, LLM-driven search like ChatGPT β the industry is moving toward a keywordless reality.
But if we take a step back, we have to admit why the keyword is so vital. Itβs a window into clear intent that tells us exactly where a user is in their journey:
If those signals are now handled behind the scenes by a black box, the role of the marketer changes. So what are we actually optimizing for?
Dig deeper: Beyond keywords: Mastering AI-driven campaigns
Intent is inferred from a complex web of signals that have rendered the individual keyword secondary. To win in 2026, your optimization focus must shift toward three core pillars.
Googleβs algorithms now prioritize customer match and first-party data over the query itself. With the full integration of the Data Manager API, the system knows which users in the auction match your closed-won deals.
You no longer bid on the query βcloud security.β You bid on the director of IT (because youβre sharing first-party data) who has a history of researching SOC 2 compliance, even if their current search is as vague as βscaling infrastructure.β
B2B match rates are notoriously stubborn. But this is exactly where you need to evolve your strategy. Move beyond one-to-one list matching and get creative with integration partners to enrich your signals.
Start by clustering individuals by shared pain points, then use on-site experiences to allow them to self-identify. By the time they hit a remarketing list, you arenβt just targeting a βuser,β youβre targeting a verified intent state.
Your landing page is a data source. Googleβs AI scans your page to understand the nuance of your offering. Creative assets are also important signals and need to complement your targeted themes and keywords, plus your landing page content.
If your landing page clearly articulates a βmid-market manufacturingβ use case, the AI will automatically find those users, even if they never type the word βmanufacturing.β Your βkeyword strategyβ is now your content strategy.
You might think looking at Meta is a deviation here, but the parallels are impossible to ignore. Metaβs Andromeda retrieval engine now influences a massive portion of the social auction by using the creative itself as the primary targeting signal.Β
If both platforms are moving toward a world where your assets (whether itβs a 15-second video or a high-value landing page) are what actually define your audience, you have to ask: How much weight are you giving your creative inputs versus your technical ones?Β
With journey aware bidding and value-based bidding, the algorithm isnβt just looking for the final click. Itβs analyzing the historical sequence of a userβs journey.
Optimization now happens against βhigh-value need states.β Youβre feeding the system data on which mid-funnel behaviors (like a whitepaper download or a webinar sign-up) actually lead to six-figure contracts.
Dig deeper: Why better signals drive paid search performance
The most significant mental hurdle for digital marketers is the shift from query-level intent to user-level intent.
| Feature | Query-level intent (legacy) | User-level intent (2026 and beyond) |
| Primary driver | The specific words typed. | The userβs historical behavior and context. |
| Logic | βThey are in state X, so they need Y.β | Triggered by a predicted βneed state.β |
| Measurement | CTR and CPC. | Pipeline value and predicted LTV. |
| Auction entry | Triggered by a keyword match. | Triggered by a predicted βneed stateβ |
In the old model, a query like βhow to manage payrollβ might have been ignored by an enterprise SaaS company as βtoo informational.β In 2026, the AI knows if that user is a student or a VP of finance at a 5,000-employee firm.
If itβs the latter, the user-level intent is commercial, regardless of the query-level phrasing, assuming youβre providing the right signals (see what I did there?). If youβre advertising on Microsoft Ads, you can leverage LinkedInβs profile targeting.
Now that AI is handling the matching, your job has evolved from a mechanic to a data architect.
The future of search isnβt about finding the right words. Itβs about being the best answer for the right person at the exact moment their need state evolves.
Keywords were the training wheels. Now, the wheels are off. Itβs time to see how fast your data can take you.

AI systems are getting better at generating Spanish. Theyβre not getting better at understanding Spanish markets.
What weβre seeing instead is a consistent pattern: more than 20 Spanish-speaking countries collapsed into a single default. Spain becomes βstandard.β Mexico becomes interchangeable. The rest get flattened into statistical averages.
The failure modes are structural β dialect defaulting, format contamination, and regulatory hallucination β and theyβre amplified in a generative search environment where one synthesized answer replaces 10 blue links.
That distinction is now a visibility constraint. Generative systems resolve ambiguity. When your content doesnβt make its market context explicit, the system defaults to the statistical average β and thatβs where otherwise solid content gets misapplied or ignored.
Below is a framework for fixing that problem. Itβs designed to make market context explicit β across content, technical signals, and retrieval systems β so AI doesnβt have to guess.
Cultural SEO goes beyond hreflang and localization. The technical foundation is locale precision β controlling market context across retrieval and generation so an AI system treats your Spanish content as belonging to a specific country, not to βSpanish speakersβ in the abstract.
Hereβs the framework that works when you operate across Spain and Latin America.
But thereβs a prerequisite no framework can substitute for: you canβt optimize for a market you donβt serve.
Cultural SEO isnβt a localization layer you bolt onto a website. Itβs the technical expression of a business decision to operate in a market β with real logistics, real customer support, real legal compliance, and real product-market fit.
If you ship from Spain to Mexico with a three-week delivery, process returns in euros, and have no local support channel, a perfect hreflang setup wonβt save you. The model might surface your content, but the user will bounce β and the next time the model learns from that signal, youβll be deprioritized.
Internationalization means speaking the marketβs language in every sense: visual trust cues, payment methods, delivery expectations, regulatory compliance, and customer experience.
The four pillars below assume youβve made that commitment. If you havenβt, start there. Everything else is decoration.
Most international SEO teams think of segmentation as a folder structure: /es-es/, /es-mx/, /es-ar/, but thatβs not enough.
In generative search, the question is whether the system recognizes that page as belonging to Mexico β and whether it has enough market-specific signals to prefer it over a generic alternative. If your architecture collapses variants, your visibility collapses with it.
Donβt just use es. Use es-ES for Spain, es-MX for Mexico, es-AR for Argentina, es-CO for Colombia, and es-CL for Chile. Include x-default for users who donβt match any specific locale. Consider ccTLD strategies (.es, .mx, .com.ar) where they make business sense.
ccTLDs remain one of the strongest explicit geographic signals on the open web, and they reduce ambiguity for both search engines and downstream retrieval systems. Googleβs documentation on localized pages supports this specificity.
But hereβs the caveat. In the first article, I discussed Motoko Huntβs concept of geo-legibility and the phenomenon of geo-drift β AI systems misidentifying geography because language alone doesnβt resolve market context.Β
Simply put, if your Spanish content doesnβt carry explicit country-level signals beyond hreflang, the model has to guess. Guessing, at scale, means defaulting.Β
Ultimately, hreflang helps with traditional routing, but in AI synthesis, itβs one signal among many β and not necessarily the decisive one.Β
When a generative system assembles an answer, it weighs semantic relevance, authority, and content-level cues alongside metadata.Β
If your Spanish content relies on hreflang alone to declare βthis is for Mexico,β youβre betting on a single signal in a multi-signal environment. Geographic markers need to live in the content itself and in structured data β not only in HTTP headers.
Dig deeper: How AI search defines market relevance beyond hreflang
When you point es-MX, es-AR, and es-CO pages to one canonical es URL, youβre telling engines thereβs only one βrealβ version β the exact Global Spanish assumption youβre trying to avoid. Each market page should canonicalize to itself.
Google cautions against this. Crawlers may not see all variants. More importantly, AI crawlers donβt carry IP signals the way users do. Offer a visible region selector and let users choose.
This is essentially what Hunt calls geo-legibility β encoding geography, compliance, and market boundaries in ways machines can parse:
A practical example: if your Mexico page shows prices in MXN, but your structured data still says EUR because it was copied from the Spain template, the model sees a conflict. Conflicts breed uncertainty. Uncertainty breeds generic answers. Generic answers are where Global Spanish lives.
A note on es-419: It can be useful as a catch-all for Latin American Spanish where market-specific pages donβt exist, but it should never substitute for es-MX, es-AR, or es-CO when the content involves legal, financial, or compliance information. Generic means vulnerable.
If your market pages arenβt self-evident to machines, the system will resolve ambiguity for you β and defaults win.
Translation converts words. Transcreation converts meaning. The distinction matters because translated templates are easy for models to deduplicate β and deduplication is where localized pages go to die.
If two regional pages are 95% identical, the model will treat them as one. The βdefaultβ will win. Localized pages need substantive differences that prove market specificity, including:
The classic example: McDonaldβs βIβm lovinβ itβ became βMe encantaβ β not a literal translation, but an emotionally equivalent expression. Appleβs iPod Shuffle tagline, βSmall talk,β became βMira quiΓ©n hablaβ for Latin American Spanish.
These brands understood that meaning doesnβt translate. It must be rebuilt.
Identify which Spanish-speaking markets have the most search volume and business potential for your verticals. Volume alone isnβt enough. Consider market maturity, competitive landscape, and conversion potential. Then bring in native speakers from those specific countries.Β
This doesnβt mean rigid dialect policing. Context matters β a premium brand in Mexico City might use tΓΊ deliberately for intimacy. The test is whether those choices are strategic or inherited from the training dataβs statistical average.
Take a returns policy page. Spain (/es-es/devoluciones/) and Mexico (/es-mx/devoluciones/) shouldnβt differ only in currency symbols. At least one section needs to be genuinely market-specific:
If the pages are 95% identical after these changes, theyβre not differentiated enough. The model will still collapse them.Β
The feedback loop makes it worse: when a Mexican user lands on βespaΓ±olizedβ content and bounces, that rejection signal teaches the model not to retrieve that page for Mexico next time. Poor transcreation doesnβt just lose one visit. It trains the system against you.
This pillar addresses a layer that most traditional SEO doesnβt touch β and itβs where a lot of the Global Spanish problem actually lives.
If youβre building RAG-powered experiences (chatbots, AI assistants, and AI-enhanced customer support) or optimizing content for AI discovery, the question is: What content is eligible to be retrieved and synthesized for a given market?
Without explicit constraints, the model pulls from its statistical average β which, in this case, is βGlobal Spanish.β The fix requires intervention at the retrieval layer:
Think of it as the AI equivalent of telling your customer service team: βIf a caller is from Mexico, use the Mexico playbook. Donβt improvise.β
This matters beyond your own properties. Up to 43% of fan-out background searches ran in English even for non-English prompts, Peec AIβs analysis found. This is a structural disadvantage for brands whose authority signals exist only in local-language corpora.Β
Spanish sessions may still trigger English sub-searches, which changes which sources are eligible for retrieval. If the modelβs own retrieval is biased toward English sources, your Spanish content needs to be unambiguously market-specific to compete for selection.
LLMs learn from your site and what the web says about you.
This isnβt traditional link building. Itβs regional corroboration β building the external signal layer that tells a model where your brand operates and who considers you authoritative:
This is how you stop being a Spanish brand and become a Mexican authority β or both, explicitly. The key is intentionality: If you serve both markets, the model needs to see distinct authority signals for each, not a single blended profile.
If you need to brief a cross-functional team β dev, content, PR β hereβs what each pillar produces as a deliverable:
| Pillar | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| 1. Segmentation | Locale URL map + hreflang/canonical rules + indexable alternates checklist |
| 2. Transcreation | Per-market glossary + βsubstantive differenceβ content brief template |
| 3. Retrieval constraints | Locale filters + prompt contract (market, currency, jurisdiction) |
| 4. Entity reinforcement | Quarterly PR/citation target list per market + entity consistency audit |
These are the artifacts that make the framework auditable and repeatable across teams.
You canβt improve what you donβt measure. Hereβs a practical error taxonomy for auditing AI-generated content across Hispanic markets:
| Error class | What to look for | SEO/UX impact |
|---|---|---|
| Dialect markers | Wrong pronouns, missing voseo, region-inappropriate vocabulary | Trust erosion, higher bounce rates |
| Format errors | Wrong currency, decimal separator mismatch, incorrect date formats | Conversion risk, especially in e-commerce and finance |
| Legal/regulatory | Wrong authority cited, incorrect compliance steps, mixed frameworks | E-E-A-T damage, potential liability |
| SERP intent | Wrong product categories, wrong local entities, incorrect eligibility | Click-through and engagement drops |
| Brand voice | Formality mismatch (too formal in Mexico, too casual in Colombia) | Brand perception damage |
| Retrieval contamination | Facts or citations sourced from a different locale than the target user | Errors propagated into AI summaries |
If you want a quick QA starting point, check three things first: the currency symbol, the regulator name, and the second-person register. Those three alone will catch most critical mismatches.
For teams working across multiple Hispanic markets, these are the signals that most commonly trigger cultural mismatch in AI outputs:
| Signal | Spain (es-ES) | Mexico (es-MX) | Argentina (es-AR) | Colombia (es-CO) | Chile (es-CL) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Second-person | Vosotros/ustedes | Ustedes; tΓΊ | Vos/ustedes | TΓΊ/usted varies | TΓΊ/ustedes; local slang |
| Currency | EUR (β¬) | MXN ($) | ARS ($) | COP ($) | CLP ($) |
| Decimal separator | Comma (1.234,56) | Period (1,234.56) | Varies | Varies | Varies |
| Hreflang | es-ES | es-MX / es-419 | es-AR | es-CO | es-CL |
| Privacy framework | GDPR + LOPDGDD | Federal law (2025 changes) | Habeas Data | National data protection | Updated legislation |
| Fiscal/commercial ID | NIF / CIF | RFC | CUIT / CUIL | NIT | RUT |
| Typical LLM default risk | Grammar as βstandard,β vocab ignored | Vocab as βstandard,β context flattened | Voseo erased or flagged | Ustedeo misidentified | Local markers missed |
Not every industry feels this problem equally. But if you work in any of these verticals, cultural SEO means risk management.
In these verticals, the cost of Global Spanish is a liability exposure, compliance failure, and E-E-A-T erosion that compounds across every AI-generated interaction.
Frameworks are only useful if they translate into Monday morning actions. Hereβs how to operationalize cultural SEO:
Login
priceCurrency and addressCountry, and has areaServed declarations. Two metrics worth tracking from Day 1:
If you can measure those two consistently, you can prove the framework is working.
Everyoneβs talking about markdown formatting, llms.txt files, and structured data for AI. Some of that matters. But before chasing the latest optimization trick, review your:
Thatβs what LLMs are actually reading and what shapes whether an AI assistant recommends you or your competitor. If an LLM had to explain what your product does in the Mexican market based only on whatβs public, would the answer be any good?Β
If not, you donβt have an AI optimization problem. You have a documentation problem.
The fix? Sit down and write clear, market-specific docs that both humans and machines can understand.
If you want a more structured approach, Iβve put together a cultural SEO checklist for Hispanic markets covering technical signals, content signals, entity signals, retrieval constraints, and QA governance.
Before moving on, run these five prompts through any LLM β once specifying Spain, and once specifying Mexico. The differences in the output should be intentional, not accidental:
If the answers are identical, the model is defaulting. If they differ but cite the wrong jurisdiction, you have a retrieval problem. Either way, now you know where to start.
Thereβs an irony in this article that I donβt want to skip over.
Weβre telling brands to stop treating Spanish as a monolith, build market-specific signals, and respect the difference between Madrid and Mexico City.Β
Then we go back to our desks and use ChatGPT to do keyword research βin Spanish.β We generate content briefs with tools that have the exact same geo-inference failures we just diagnosed. We run audits with AI assistants that default to the same βGlobal Spanishβ weβre warning our clients about.
If the tools we use every day carry this bias, then every output we produce risks inheriting it β unless weβre actively correcting for it. That means specifying the market context in every prompt.Β
Donβt trust a βSpanishβ keyword list that doesnβt distinguish between markets. Treat your own AI-assisted workflows with the same rigor youβd ask of your clientsβ content architectures.
The βGlobal Spanishβ problem is also in your own stack. If youβre not fixing it there first, youβre part of the pattern.
The goal is to produce Spanish that is market-true. In 2026, βlocalizedβ is a systems milestone: routing, content, entities, retrieval, and QA all have to agree on the same country context β or the model will pick one for you.
If you want a definition of done for cultural SEO, itβs this: Spain and Mexico can ask the same question and get different answers for the right reasons β and your pages are the ones that stay eligible to be cited.
Stop translating. Start architecting.

The iPhone FoldΒ is arriving to the market several years after Appleβs competitors have refined multiple versions, which only means that the next category to introduce this unique form factor will be the iPad. While this product would be the obvious choice, a new report states that thereβs a chance that the foldable tablet launch may not happen, and it boils down to reasons such as price, design complications, and software optimizations. Even if Apple manages to scale past the internal problems surrounding the iPad Fold, its potentially exorbitant price will threaten its popularity In Mark Gurmanβs latest βPower Onβ newsletter, [β¦]

Being a roguelike, Saros expects you to build your loadout as you proceed through Carcosa. However, the random generation of weapons and Artifacts can often make a Cycle more difficult than expected. However, there is a simple re-roll trick that lets you start every run with your preferred weapon. The Secret to Starting Weapons To get the exact weapon you want, you need to take advantage of a specific quirk in Saros: your next run always begins with the same weapon type you were holding when your previous run ended.

Saros gameplay mechanics are the natural evolution of those seen in Returnal, with additional layers of complexity added to defense. Instead of dashing through enemy attacks, the game is all about mastering a sort of rock-paper-scissors defensive loop between your Dash, Shield, and Parry. The last is the riskiest and most satisfying, but before you can pull it off, you must unlock it. How to Unlock Parry Parry is the only defensive option in the game that has to be unlocked before it can be used. To do so, you will have to reach the Blighted Marsh biome and play [β¦]

While Saros doesn't waste much time teaching the basics of the game, including the Dash maneuver used to avoid enemy attacks, the game often glosses over other mechanics that can make exploring Carcosa smoother and more fun. This is the case of the Traversal Boost ability, which can be a big help if you feel like Arjun is moving too slowly between combat arenas.

It monitors thousands of sources, rewrites articles with attribution, and schedules posts on autopilot. Use its website analyzer and keyword intelligence to pick topics, include and exclude terms, and keep content on brand. Manage profiles and channels from a single dashboard, review drafts, add AI images, and run in 20 languages.
Think about the last time you binged those true crime documentaries. The next time you opened your streaming app, the homepage likely shifted. Investigative series rose to the top. Maybe a notification alerted you when a new series dropped. Promotional emails highlighted only what you hadnβt watched. You didnβt see the data parsing or the decisioning behind it. You just looked forward to enjoying the next title.
Thatβs the standard. According to the Adobe 2025 AI and digital trends report , 71% of consumers want personalized β or personally relevant β offers and information, and 78% expect seamless experiences across channels. Yet fewer than half of brands consistently deliver.
The issue is structural. When customer data lives in disconnected systems, teams will struggle to align insight, timing, and execution quickly enough to take meaningful action. AI canβt magic the problem away. According to the Adobe 2026 AI and digital trends report, fewer than half of organizations say their data foundation is adequate to support AI at scale.
At the initial stages of the modernization journey, the path to personalization can feel daunting. But progress will be easier than you think when you introduce a foundation for a unified customer experience.
Most brands have plenty of data. Itβs cohesion they lack. Your marketing team likely runs email, web, mobile, paid media, support, and even in-person channels. Each collects important signals, but are they sharing context across channels fast enough to shape the next interaction?
If not, impact is immediate. A customer browses a product online, then receives an email with a different price. Or a subscriber contacts support and has to repeat their story to multiple team members before getting help. Or a loyal customer happily purchases your productβonly to see the same ads promoting it in their feed for weeks after.
Even minor bumps along the customer journey chip away at trust. Nearly half of customers say they disengage when promotions feel irrelevant or mistimed.
Delivering a unified customer experience requires continuously updating your understanding of each customer and then immediately sharing that insight across every department and touchpoint.
This can require substantial change. But taking the following steps makes the path ahead more straightforward:
A unified experience starts with a single, living view of the customer.
Instead of keeping separate records for each channel, create a dynamic profile that reflects behavior, preferences, and history across all departments as customer activity happens in real time. Every click, purchase, service interaction, and loyalty update should feed into the same source of truth.
With that information, customer segmentation becomes smarter and messaging becomes more relevant. Customers stop receiving duplicative or contradictory communications. And performance can be more accurately measured across the full lifecycle.
This shift moves your marketing strategy from channel and campaign management to customer-first engagement. With a unified profile in place, teams respond to customers as individuals, not isolated events.Β
Accurate data doesnβt create value on its own. Those behavior signals must trigger action to shape meaningful engagement. Cart abandonment should prompt a quick follow-up (but not too quickly). Product recommendations should reflect recent browsing and past purchases. Irrelevant offers should be removed entirely. Journeys should evolve as preferences change.
Relevance largely depends on timing and second chances donβt come easily. Results from a Cognition Neuroscience Research project show the brain processes digital advertising in less than 400 milliseconds. Customers decide almost instantly whether a message applies to them. If systems canβt recognize context and activate insight within that window, the moment passes β and so does the opportunity to connect.
AI supports this speed at scale. It identifies patterns in customer data, anticipates purchase intent, flags churn risk, and determines next-best actions within milliseconds. Its effectiveness, however, depends on accurate, unified data. Reliable inputs enable relevant outcomes.
Privacy expectations are rising, and protecting customer data is a top priority. As organizations unify more signals and activate them in real time, governance canβt be layered on later. It has to be built in from the start.
To sustain a unified customer experience at scale, organizations need a modern cloud foundation that allows teams to process and activate data where it lives, reduce latency, limit unnecessary movement, and strengthen security controls.
In the cloud, data ingestion and activation happen faster. Infrastructure grows alongside customer volume. Compliance frameworks are embedded, not bolted on. And technology teams spend less time maintaining custom connections and more time enabling innovation.
Personalization succeeds when brands are prepared for the right moment, not just the right message. When your data foundation is unified, activation happens in real time, infrastructure is more secure, and personalization stops feeling experimental. Instead, it becomes operational. And relevance becomes repeatable.
Adobe Experience Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) brings these elements together and simplifies execution for your teams. Adobe Experience Platform creates real-time customer profiles that power segmentation, analytics, and journey orchestration across touchpoints. Deployed natively on AWS, it runs on scalable infrastructure designed for speed, resilience, and securityβwhile reducing technical maintenance and complexity.

A few hours ago, a rumor started circulating about Insomniac Games canceling the leaked Venom standalone game.

One of the easiest mistakes to make when building or upgrading a PC is assuming that every M.2 slot on a motherboard is basically the same. After all, they all look nearly identical and take the same "gum stick-shaped" drives. Motherboard marketing pages love to list "4 x M.2" as though that number alone tells the whole story, but in practice, these slots can behave very differently.

After bottoming out at 1.3% in December 2025, the click-through rate (CTR) on Googleβs AI Overviews climbed to 2.4% in February 2026. Thatβs an 85% jump in two months, according to new data from Seer Interactive.
What moves CTR. When an AI Overview appears, pages cited in it get more clicks than pages on that same results page that arenβt cited. But both still get fewer clicks than searches with no AI Overview:
Where clicks are shifting. Searches without AI Overviews are getting more valuable. CTR on those queries increased from 2.8% in early 2025 to 3.8% by February 2026.
AI Overviews vary by query intent. AI Overviews show up unevenly across query types:
Yes, but. Lower CTR doesnβt always mean worse results. In some cases, clicks stayed flat while impressions grew. This suggests brands may have appeared in more AI Overviews even as CTR dropped.
Paid search is far more stable. When Google showed an AI Overview, paid CTR rose slightly from 14.6% to 16.2%. When it didnβt, CTR fell from 26% to 21.8%.
Why we care. Googleβs AI Overviews arenβt just reducing clicks β theyβre redistributing them, sending more traffic to sites they cite and far less to those they donβt. That means you need to get featured in AI Overviews and also focus more on searches where people click.
About the data. Seer studied 53 brands, 5.47 million queries, and 2.43 billion impressions from January 2025 to February 2026.

Some advertisers say ad reviews are taking more than seven days β far beyond normal timelines.
Whatβs happening. Matthew Skelton, a senior PPC specialist, has flagged a pattern many advertisers are now recognizing: Demand Gen campaigns stuck in βin reviewβ status for days at a time. The delays are showing up across multiple accounts and industries, with no obvious policy violations or warnings to explain the holdup.
Notably, the issue doesnβt appear to be affecting other campaign types. Search and Performance Max campaigns are still moving through review as expected, pointing to a problem specific to Demand Gen.
Why we care. For advertisers using Demand Gen to test creatives and drive upper-funnel performance, speed is part of the strategy. Long review times slow down iteration, delay launches, and make it harder to respond to seasonal or time-sensitive opportunities.
A week-long delay can throw off pacing and reduce the effectiveness of campaigns that depend on rapid optimization.
The response. Ginny Marvin, Google Ads Liaison, has acknowledged the issue, confirming that some Demand Gen image ads are taking longer than expected to complete review. According to Marvin, Googleβs teams are actively working on a fix, though no timeline has been shared.
Bottom line. If your Demand Gen ads are stuck in review, itβs likely not just you β and for now, itβs a known issue on Googleβs side rather than something advertisers can directly fix.

Gemini Drops is our regular monthly update on how to get the most out of the Gemini app.
About a year ago, I came out of a meeting with engineers about improving automations for content briefs. A few days later, someone on the analytics team β unrelated to those conversations β pinged me that theyβd built a content brief generator using various data pipelines and APIs.
Thatβs when I realized βgetting people to use AIβ isnβt the hard part. Implementation and integration are.
Most SEO teams donβt struggle with access to tools; they struggle to prioritize efforts with outsized impact and align across the organization.
One team is experimenting with prompts, another is auto-generating briefs, and a third is building dashboards no one asked for, often stepping on each otherβs toes. Each has something valuable to contribute, but much of it gets diluted by duplication and a race to execution.
Leadership wants speed. Legal wants caution. Developers want clarity.
The result is fragmentation, not the AI marketing transformation teams need. If AI is going to meaningfully change SEO performance, it has to be structured before itβs scaled. Otherwise, fragmentation only accelerates.
After working with large, complex organizations navigating this shift, Iβve found three frameworks that consistently prevent chaos and create momentum. Used together, they align vision, clarify what to automate, and turn prioritization into execution.
The biggest obstacle in AI adoption is coordination. SEO already sits at the intersection of engineering, content, analytics, product, and brand. Now, with AI search and the rise of social search, add organic social, conversion rate optimization, affiliates, and creative to the mix.Β
AI touches all of these surfaces, but itβs too much for any one person or team. Without a shared mental model, groups move independently, duplication creeps in, and accountability blurs β turning AI into an arms race instead of a productivity driver.
Leading large teams and working with many Fortune 100 executives, Iβve seen how analogies help teams quickly grasp complex ideas. Research supports this: analogies improve understanding and the transfer of ideas across domains. When teams map new concepts onto familiar structures, alignment accelerates.
Enter: the AI SEO City. Instead of explaining AI as a series of tools and experiments, imagine your SEO ecosystem as a city.
Your website (also known as SEO house) no longer exists in a silo. Technical SEO is the foundation. Content hubs frame the rooms. Off-site SEO is the curb appeal. User experience is the staging.Β
With AI search, that house now interacts with a broader city in a more integrated way. Platforms like TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, and Amazon influence the answers AI systems produce.
To succeed in AI search, this city needs a strong planner to advocate for budgets, plan whatβs next, and maintain what works. The SEO team is the planner, while other teams build and manage their own βbuildings.β
The shift from analogy to action is ownership. Every major platform becomes a building.Β
Each building has a lead, KPIs tied to business outcomes, AI-enhanced workflows, and a roadmap β making AI implementation tangible, accountable, and coordinated.
Once vision is clear, most teams make the same mistake: they try to automate everything. Automation without discernment and process creates fragility.Β
If the sole person who built that automation leaves, youβre leaving the business and your work at risk. SOAR provides a filter for intelligent adoption.
SOAR stands for:
Before layering AI on top of chaos, itβs important to have standardized processes (e.g., repeatable briefs, aligned reporting to business KPIs, etc.). Organizations capturing the most value from AI had already digitized and standardized core workflows, McKinseyβs 2023 State of AI report.Β
This has been my experience firsthand. The best and easiest automations to stand up are ones that speed up a defined manual process. So much so that weβve made a rule as a team to never attempt automating something without doing it manually first.
AI adoption is cross-functional. To manage it successfully, itβs crucial for SEOs to orchestrate teams across the organization. Take the ownership defined in the AI SEO City to clarify review processes, QA ownership, publishing governance, etc.Β
Get stakeholder buy-in on establishing consistent cadences: weekly SEO syncs with rotating teams and purpose, monthly performance reviews, and quarterly roadmap alignment. Predictability reduces resistance.
AI is helping people save about 4 hours per week. Thatβs about 200 hours per year β the equivalent of 5 weeks.
This means using AI for metadata drafting, monthly reporting insights, FAQ expansion, internal link suggestions, keyword clustering, and SERP analysis, so you can spend more time executing high-impact tasks.Β
Donβt automate strategic judgment, brand nuance, or prioritization. If the task is repetitive, rule-based, and can be mapped as a decision tree, automate it. If it requires business context and trade-offs, augment it.
AI implementation should free strategists to coordinate across teams, build bridges between strategy and business impact, map enhanced customer search journeys, and anticipate AI search shifts.Β
Google has reported billions of monthly AI Overview users, fundamentally changing how queries surface. Now isnβt the time to be manually writing metadata. Now is the time to be building your AI SEO City.Β
The SOAR framework allows you to create repeatable and winning steps for your org, while also determining what could be automated in the long run. This allows you to reposition your focus on higher-impact items that will drive business results, and secure your team firmly, no matter the βAI efficienciesβ that are bound to happen at some point.
Even with alignment and intelligent automation, chaos returns the moment prioritization gets sloppy. Deliverables, audits, and meetings arenβt strategy.Β
Strategy requires intention, trade-offs, and sequencing. Without that discipline, AI doesnβt create leverage. It accelerates randomness.
RISE stands for:
Itβs the framework I use to pressure-test whether an initiative deserves resources.
Reach forces you to quantify the upside before you build anything. Move beyond βthis feels bigβ or βAI is trendingβ and focus on an actual modeled opportunity, grounded in questions such as:
If a team wants to build an AI-powered content expansion engine, reach means modeling the following:
If you canβt articulate the business upside in numbers, it doesnβt move forward. This filter alone eliminates most vanity AI projects labeled as innovation. Most importantly, it shows your leadership and strategic decision-making, not just tinkering.Β
Reach answers a simple question: Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Strategies focused on search volume without intent alignment are noise. AI search systems are increasingly compressing generic content and rewarding depth, clarity, multimedia and multimodal formats, and problem-solving.
Intent forces you to slow down and ask:Β
Operationally, this means mapping initiatives to customer search journeys before generating a single asset.Β
If you misunderstand the moment in the journey, no amount of automation saves you.
Intent is where strategy shifts from keyword targeting to experience design. AI doesnβt reward content volume. It rewards clarity of purpose.
A strong initiative shouldnβt win once. It should win repeatedly.
Scale asks whether the idea can become part of the operating system or if it depends on major effort each time.
In AI-driven SEO, scale is structural. Think: modular content frameworks, reusable schema logic, repeatable internal linking patterns, automated QA checkpoints, and integrated dashboards tied to business KPIs.
If an initiative canβt be repeated predictably, itβs a tactic rather than a strategy. Compounding visibility doesnβt come from one brilliant campaign. It comes from systems that run weekly, monthly, and quarterly.
This is where most organizations stumble. A well-prioritized initiative that never enters a workflow is just a well-articulated idea. Ideas alone donβt drive results.
Execution means translating strategy into tickets inside the systems where work already happens (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, Asana, or whatever your team uses). It means defining acceptance criteria before development starts, assigning accountable owners, estimating effort, setting QA checkpoints, and predefining how success will be measured.
Execution also means integrating AI outputs into existing governance:
Automation without accountability is operational risk.
The most sophisticated AI model in the world wonβt save a poorly operationalized strategy. But a well-prioritized initiative, embedded into existing workflows, creates momentum that compounds quarter after quarter.
When RISE is applied rigorously, something interesting happens. The number of AI ideas decreases, but the quality increases. Teams stop chasing novelty and start building durable systems. Instead of debating which tool is best, the organization debates which opportunity is worth pursuing.
The shift from experimentation to intentional prioritization is where AI stops being chaotic and starts being transformative.
The AI SEO City creates shared vision and ownership. SOAR determines what to automate and how to redeploy attention. RISE ensures prioritization aligns with opportunity and scales operationally.
