Hello and welcome. This is episode 28 of
Speaker:the 9th day website mastery program. I'm
Speaker:here with my co-host Pascal Fintoni. How
Speaker:are you Pascal?
Speaker:Very, very well. I look forward to this
Speaker:now a lot. There's so much to talk about
Speaker:about the world of website but also AI,
Speaker:which is really a thread through today's
Speaker:episode. Will Barron
Speaker:It certainly is. And well, we do have a
Speaker:lot to unpack seeing that the Google I.O.
Speaker:Conference was only a few days ago. So
Speaker:there's plenty to talk about. But as
Speaker:always, we have 4 segments on the 90 Day
Speaker:Website Mastery podcast. This was the
Speaker:companion to the 90 Day Website Mastery
Speaker:program that me and Pascal put on. We
Speaker:wanted to find a way to continue to share
Speaker:more advice and insights about making
Speaker:your website work harder for you. And
Speaker:ultimately for you to feel proud of your
Speaker:website. Again, it's that moment that
Speaker:someone asks for your website address and
Speaker:you've got that pang in your stomach. Oh,
Speaker:no, don't have a look. It's so out of
Speaker:date. It doesn't. It's not on brand
Speaker:anymore. We want you to feel proud of
Speaker:your website. And that's what this is all
Speaker:about. So the 4 segments we have, we have
Speaker:the you ask, we answer. This week, we're
Speaker:gonna go into the Google I.O. Conference.
Speaker:We have website stories. We also have the
Speaker:website engine room where we give you an
Speaker:app each that is gonna make your life
Speaker:easier as a website manager or website
Speaker:content creator. And of course, you can't
Speaker:finish a piece of content without the
Speaker:website call to action. So our fourth
Speaker:segment and our final segment is always a
Speaker:website call to action where we give you
Speaker:1 change or adjustment that you could be
Speaker:making to your website right now to start
Speaker:making you feel proud of your website
Speaker:again. So I'm gonna get started and we're
Speaker:gonna start with website, sorry, with you
Speaker:ask, we answer and I will hand over to
Speaker:Pascal.
Speaker:["Dreams of a New World"] Thanks again
Speaker:for doing such a great job to summarize
Speaker:this short form episode really. This is
Speaker:more so unlike the UNI. People know this.
Speaker:We're more long form kind of people. This
Speaker:is good discipline. And in the Ask, We
Speaker:Answer, this is really for me a moment of
Speaker:reflection. So you mentioned that the
Speaker:Google I.O. Conference, the 3D annual
Speaker:conference took place where they shared
Speaker:plans for the future around the search
Speaker:experience, but also the whole Google
Speaker:ecosystem and the Android systems as
Speaker:well. And I was reflecting with a pile of
Speaker:mine on the conference and praising the
Speaker:AI solution, but also sometimes thinking,
Speaker:are we going too far? And then The
Speaker:question came out of him in conversation
Speaker:saying, well, I've gone through the
Speaker:highlights again from the recent Google
Speaker:I.O. Conference past trial, and it seems
Speaker:as though the future of the Google search
Speaker:result would be just AI summaries
Speaker:throughout the entire mobile phone
Speaker:screens or laptop screen, the screen,
Speaker:sorry, and is that gonna be a problem for
Speaker:SEO? So this is what I wanted to kind of
Speaker:debate with you because Google, I've
Speaker:always made the promise to go
Speaker:multi-modal, to be able to write your
Speaker:questions, your quest for information,
Speaker:you can speak it now. As I mentioned many
Speaker:episodes ago, you can now circle a
Speaker:particular part of a photo on your mobile
Speaker:phone screens and get such results.
Speaker:You'll be able to essentially almost drag
Speaker:and drop information from different parts
Speaker:of the Google ecosystem. In fact, during
Speaker:the conference, that was kind of
Speaker:interesting, they kind of showcased this
Speaker:new strapline on the big screen they have
Speaker:at Mountain View, a kind of Google
Speaker:headquarters. And the question that the
Speaker:strapline says follows, looking at my
Speaker:notes, just ask, and Google will do the
Speaker:Googling for you. What they're doing now
Speaker:is that using AI to pretty much, not
Speaker:second guess, but know what you need and
Speaker:what you want after 30 years of data
Speaker:crunching and kind of data kind of
Speaker:holding. And part of their ambition is to
Speaker:make, therefore, the access to
Speaker:information to be without barriers. So,
Speaker:you know, they've done some amazing work
Speaker:around accessibility and more. There is
Speaker:even now a future where people don't want
Speaker:to have to tap on the screen on their
Speaker:mobile phone they just have to stare at
Speaker:the particular button on the website and
Speaker:it would be seen as an action which I
Speaker:think is really quite exciting for all
Speaker:sort of things. But when it comes to
Speaker:search, what they are promising is to
Speaker:really accelerate your discovery of
Speaker:information, your access to knowledge by
Speaker:creating summaries, summaries in the form
Speaker:of little vignettes. Imagine a
Speaker:photography with some overlay text.
Speaker:Sometimes it'd be just text, sometimes
Speaker:it'd be short form videos and so on. But
Speaker:this idea of on the search page itself,
Speaker:you will have the information you need
Speaker:and it may not be required of you to then
Speaker:click on anything to move on to the next
Speaker:thing. And as a result of which I can
Speaker:really understand and appreciate where
Speaker:people will be concerned about potential
Speaker:risk to website traffic because to date,
Speaker:and it still happens because this is
Speaker:gonna be a very slow rollout, you have a
Speaker:number of such results expressed in
Speaker:different ways from just text and
Speaker:hyperlinks to text and videos and more.
Speaker:And we have to click on it to access
Speaker:more, to see, to understand more what's
Speaker:being said here. So this idea of the 0
Speaker:click era, which has been kind of looming
Speaker:for quite some time, it feels that we are
Speaker:now weeks away as opposed to months or
Speaker:years away?
Speaker:Well, it's really going to change the
Speaker:landscape in terms
Speaker:of how you use the likes
Speaker:of Google no longer. I mean, we were
Speaker:never crawling to page 234, or 5 anyway,
Speaker:let's be honest. But it's about how we're
Speaker:going to get those results very quickly
Speaker:and very easily. But the big question is
Speaker:what it means from my point of view,
Speaker:because I love SEO, deeply rooted in
Speaker:search engine optimization. The big
Speaker:question is what does this mean for
Speaker:search engine optimization? But I am
Speaker:pleased to say that if you've been
Speaker:following what SEO people have been
Speaker:saying for the last number of years, as
Speaker:long as you're on the same track, then
Speaker:actually you're fine. But the question
Speaker:is, have you been implementing things
Speaker:that we've been talking about? So that
Speaker:could be anything from structured data,
Speaker:which is so important now. I mean, making
Speaker:sure that Google thoroughly understands
Speaker:your content, thoroughly understands your
Speaker:website, thoroughly understands all the
Speaker:different aspects of the content around
Speaker:the website. But more so, is your content
Speaker:helpful? Is your content resourceful? And
Speaker:as you know, if you're If you are helping
Speaker:Google understand your content and your
Speaker:content is helpful or resourceful, then
Speaker:you're already a million steps ahead in
Speaker:terms of what AI in Google Search means
Speaker:for search engine optimization. I'm not
Speaker:overly concerned. I'm actually really
Speaker:pleased to hear that what we've been
Speaker:saying is on the right track.
Speaker:Yeah, and clearly, you know, and I don't
Speaker:wish to be, or to come across as unkind,
Speaker:but if your activities today with regard
Speaker:to your website and beyond has been the
Speaker:just enough or they'll do, then yes,
Speaker:you're going to get caught out.
Speaker:Absolutely right. But if over the past
Speaker:few years, you've researched what
Speaker:information people are seeking out from
Speaker:the educational side to all the way to
Speaker:making a purchase decision. And if you've
Speaker:been driven by this idea of being seen
Speaker:and heard being helpful and following the
Speaker:many advice you and I've shared for now
Speaker:27 episodes and beyond, if you include
Speaker:the webinars and more, then you are on
Speaker:track because it remains that those
Speaker:little summaries, they're just tapping
Speaker:into your content or everybody's
Speaker:listening and watching. Google to date,
Speaker:and I have to say I'm pleased because
Speaker:that would have been quite a different
Speaker:scenario. They've never gone ahead and
Speaker:produced their own information. And
Speaker:sometimes they've fallen foul of course
Speaker:of copyright infringement with newspapers
Speaker:and media companies and so on. So they
Speaker:still need access to the information
Speaker:they've chosen to present it in what they
Speaker:call the multi-model kind of experience.
Speaker:And if I extend that away from the search
Speaker:engine results, the conference that I
Speaker:went to show about the usefulness to all
Speaker:of us, the operators, I mean, what's
Speaker:going to happen in terms of the
Speaker:difference to Gmail and Google Docs and
Speaker:beyond in terms of the productivity side,
Speaker:because the assistant will be able to
Speaker:help you. There was some lovely example
Speaker:from a unit to put together a
Speaker:presentation about a subject matter. And
Speaker:that information is spread across your
Speaker:inbox and Google Drive and photos and so
Speaker:on. And the AI will be able to give you
Speaker:the summaries as they would if it was a
Speaker:search on Google. I love the bit about
Speaker:creating your expenses form
Speaker:automatically. I had to say that. I was
Speaker:very appealing where again, using the
Speaker:same function, your receipts could be in
Speaker:your inbox, could be a scan on photos,
Speaker:could be an app and that kind of thing,
Speaker:so long as you've got right permission,
Speaker:your kind of monthly claims form that we
Speaker:all hate doing will be populated
Speaker:automatically. So it is changing, It is
Speaker:driven by this idea of removing all
Speaker:barriers to information and knowledge.
Speaker:And those AI summaries will roll out
Speaker:very, very slowly. And ultimately, it
Speaker:will be a summary of the information
Speaker:you've taken the trouble to produce. But
Speaker:is that information in line with the
Speaker:mindset and the psyche and the needs of a
Speaker:searcher. That is really what is at the
Speaker:heart of this conversation.
Speaker:Yeah. And so I'm loving all the
Speaker:automation, all the reduction of
Speaker:processes. There's some unbelievable
Speaker:stuff that you can do with AI and Google
Speaker:was certainly showcasing some of that.
Speaker:But I think the 3 practical things that I
Speaker:think website owners should be either
Speaker:continuing to do or implementing
Speaker:immediately is what I've been talking
Speaker:about for a number of years now, which is
Speaker:schema. So really utilizing Schema across
Speaker:your entire website to inform Google what
Speaker:your content is about, what your business
Speaker:is about to understand, to be able to
Speaker:label all of your content in the
Speaker:structured way that Google understands
Speaker:it. The second thing is, are you
Speaker:answering people's questions? So what are
Speaker:people typing in? What are their FAQs?
Speaker:And what are people asking Google?
Speaker:Because if you're not answering those
Speaker:questions, then you've got no chance of
Speaker:appearing in that generative AI at all
Speaker:and being on, never mind page 1, but the
Speaker:top of the listing. So are you answering
Speaker:the questions? And 1 of the things that
Speaker:I've been doing a lot of this week is
Speaker:using Search Console, Google Search
Speaker:Console, to identify questions that
Speaker:people are typing into Google that end up
Speaker:on 1 of my websites, whether it be 1 of
Speaker:my websites or 1 of my clients' websites.
Speaker:And you can do some very clever queries
Speaker:within Google Console to find phrases
Speaker:where perhaps it includes the word how or
Speaker:where or what. So you know it's a
Speaker:question. You then identify the questions
Speaker:that are bringing traffic to your
Speaker:website. You then find out the page that
Speaker:Google's serving and find out whereabouts
Speaker:you rank. And if you're ranking in
Speaker:position, sort of perhaps let's say 12 to
Speaker:30, a bit of optimization, you could
Speaker:easily break into page 1. And if not,
Speaker:start breaking into the higher results so
Speaker:that you're ready for that AI experience
Speaker:where someone does a search, Google
Speaker:believes you're relevant and starts
Speaker:sharing your content. So are you
Speaker:answering the questions? Going back,
Speaker:there was 3 things. The schema, are you
Speaker:answering questions? And my second point,
Speaker:my sorry, my third point is the language
Speaker:that you're using on service and product
Speaker:pages. So perhaps Googling your service
Speaker:or Googling your product, seeing what
Speaker:results are coming up on Google and
Speaker:having a look at the content that are on
Speaker:those websites and understanding the way
Speaker:it's been written in terms of has it been
Speaker:written in first party, second party,
Speaker:third party? How is it answering the
Speaker:solution that someone's searching for and
Speaker:are you using a similar language or
Speaker:actually are you using something
Speaker:completely different and that is why
Speaker:you're not ranking on page 1 for Google.
Speaker:So nothing's really changed here, but you
Speaker:need to have been doing what we've been
Speaker:saying for a long time and implementing
Speaker:it as soon as possible.
Speaker:And if I quickly add 1 and move on to our
Speaker:next segment, if you've been producing
Speaker:videos for a while and bear in mind this
Speaker:idea of creating highlights and segments
Speaker:and by size displays of those videos on
Speaker:Google search results and beyond, go back
Speaker:to your best performing videos and work
Speaker:on those chapters. Educate YouTube owned
Speaker:by Google about the which bit are you
Speaker:answering the question? It could be a 20
Speaker:minute conversation and you've answered
Speaker:literally in that time, 3, 4 questions,
Speaker:spell them out and sometime even in a
Speaker:copy of the YouTube for Johnny's advice
Speaker:and write the question as a chapter title
Speaker:as the words used by your audiences.
Speaker:Don't forget to optimize the photography
Speaker:as well. And if you need to add more
Speaker:photography to make the information even
Speaker:more understandable by both visitors and
Speaker:the search engines. We need to go back. I
Speaker:think we might talk ourself into doing a
Speaker:special recording of this podcast for
Speaker:just a Google IE because there was so
Speaker:much more to say. But for now, time is
Speaker:against us and let's move on to our next
Speaker:segment where we have a special
Speaker:announcement, website stories. Now it's
Speaker:interesting because you and I wanted to
Speaker:wait a bit longer before this
Speaker:announcement because not so long ago we
Speaker:shared our wonderful ebook, the wonderful
Speaker:ultimate website toolkit with 50 apps and
Speaker:solutions selected carefully by Johnny
Speaker:and I. So if you haven't already, Johnny
Speaker:will in a moment will share the hyperlink
Speaker:for you on this video and we'll put it in
Speaker:shorts as well. But you know, this is
Speaker:free to download. 50 apps and online
Speaker:solutions to make you feel proud of your
Speaker:website again. And we've been working on
Speaker:something else. I wouldn't read Johnny
Speaker:behind the scenes. And I'm so, so pleased
Speaker:to announce, and you can describe a bit
Speaker:more about how to use it. Announced to
Speaker:all of you, the website culture action
Speaker:randomizer.
Speaker:So yeah, for the ebook, it's literally
Speaker:90daymarketingmastery.com forward slash e
Speaker:hyphen book. But as Pascal has just
Speaker:insinuated, we've just launched the Roll
Speaker:the Dice action randomizer. So it's
Speaker:90daymarketingmastery.com forward slash
Speaker:roll hyphen the hyphen dice. We'll put
Speaker:the URL in the show notes. And this is
Speaker:taking all of our call to actions that
Speaker:we've been giving you over the series.
Speaker:There's been 27 episodes or on 28 today.
Speaker:And putting them, it's that 1 change or
Speaker:adjustment that you could be making to
Speaker:your website right now that can start
Speaker:making you feel proud of your website.
Speaker:And the point of it is you've no idea
Speaker:what we're going to suggest until you
Speaker:click that button and roll the dice and
Speaker:see what comes up. And the beauty of it
Speaker:is, is we've done, we've practiced what
Speaker:we've preached. We've taken our, these
Speaker:aren't long form podcasts, as Pascal said
Speaker:right at the beginning. It's a short form
Speaker:podcast, but it's still 30 minutes. We've
Speaker:taken the segment of exactly where we
Speaker:talk about that 1 call to action, and
Speaker:we've bite sized the whole thing down. So
Speaker:the moment you click roll the dice, you
Speaker:find that 1 example and you'll not just
Speaker:see the text about it, but you'll find
Speaker:the video of us talking about it. So all
Speaker:you need to do is just Keep rolling that
Speaker:dice and applying these actions across
Speaker:your website and you'll soon feel proud
Speaker:again.
Speaker:What is interesting about the design that
Speaker:we put into it is the instruction is very
Speaker:easy to follow, is very short and sharp.
Speaker:So you can literally put in your diary a
Speaker:half hour to an hour just to adjust a
Speaker:website and surprise yourself and your
Speaker:colleagues and go, I don't know what
Speaker:we're gonna do, but it's gonna be
Speaker:something that is gonna be easy to apply
Speaker:because we know that Johnny and Pascal
Speaker:have got our back and let's roll the dice
Speaker:and see what happens. You could do this
Speaker:every week. That means that right now you
Speaker:have a year's worth of adjustments that
Speaker:you can do by putting the time in the
Speaker:dime, which I think is important. It's
Speaker:not something you can just do. I mean, I
Speaker:want people to have fun, Johnny, and use
Speaker:the interaction, but this idea of put the
Speaker:time to 1 side and today I'm going to
Speaker:make that small change and work with my
Speaker:colleagues and all partners. And I think
Speaker:the idea of not knowing what that is, it
Speaker:gives you a bit of a free sauce. They say
Speaker:where I come from, but also you're going
Speaker:to surprise yourself. And I think that
Speaker:can be easier than going through a long,
Speaker:long list of 50 instructions and trying
Speaker:to make sense of them.
Speaker:I love the idea at your weekly marketing
Speaker:meetings to literally roll the dice and
Speaker:reveal an action that you can then
Speaker:discuss in that meeting and implement
Speaker:that week and doing 1 a week. I love that
Speaker:idea. That is absolutely brilliant. Gold
Speaker:dust.
Speaker:Absolutely. Now here it is. Please, all
Speaker:of you go and visit that section of the
Speaker:website, Roll the Dice for the website,
Speaker:Culture, Action and Randomizer, and then
Speaker:get in touch when you've completed 10.
Speaker:Jordan and I want to hear from you, give
Speaker:us a list of the 1 you've gone ahead,
Speaker:show us obviously how you changed your
Speaker:website, and then once you've done all
Speaker:10, we will have another surprise for
Speaker:you.
Speaker:And now we're gonna move on to the
Speaker:website engine room.
Speaker:Now in this section of the show, we share
Speaker:1 app, 1 software solution, maybe a piece
Speaker:of kit that can help us be better at
Speaker:website content creation and general
Speaker:website management. And Jonny, what is
Speaker:your selection for this episode?
Speaker:So for this episode, it is an app called
Speaker:Boost Spaces. It's a web app. It's a
Speaker:desktop web app, Boost Spaces. They were
Speaker:bought out by make.com. So I don't know
Speaker:if any of you have heard of make.com. You
Speaker:could either go down the make.com route
Speaker:or the boost spaces route, they're pretty
Speaker:much the same app behind the scenes. The
Speaker:point of this is that this is Zapier or
Speaker:if this then that, but up a massive step,
Speaker:up a huge step. And you've got the
Speaker:ability to be able to connect more than
Speaker:1,800 apps into pre-made cloud data
Speaker:modules. You can consolidate data, create
Speaker:single source of truth, and you can
Speaker:synchronize your data back without any
Speaker:coding and just in a few clicks. So this
Speaker:is sort of taking, if this happens, then
Speaker:do this. So there's loads of automation,
Speaker:loads of processes. So Think about this
Speaker:in 2 different sides of the coin. You've
Speaker:got the side of the coin, which is sort
Speaker:of the automation. If this happens, make
Speaker:this happen. And as I said, you can do it
Speaker:with drag and drop and a few clicks and
Speaker:you can connect so many different apps to
Speaker:do different things based on different
Speaker:events. But on the flip side, the whole
Speaker:CRM data, sales pipelines, product data,
Speaker:any data that you have that you might
Speaker:have across a number of different
Speaker:systems, This is 1 system that can
Speaker:consolidate all of that data and find
Speaker:commonalities and join dots between the
Speaker:data. And whether you use that to
Speaker:cleanse, whether you use that to enhance
Speaker:processes, enhance sales teams, enhance
Speaker:internal HR, all sorts of different
Speaker:things, taking your CRM, your all your
Speaker:different data sets, putting it into 1
Speaker:place and being able to have that 1 place
Speaker:to deal with the data but also to feed
Speaker:some of the findings back to some of
Speaker:these different apps. So it's completely
Speaker:changed my world in terms of automation
Speaker:and process. Highly recommend it, boost
Speaker:spaces. And it's a move on from Zapier in
Speaker:a huge way. Super. And I'm sorry to
Speaker:interrupt here. I feel I'm so passionate
Speaker:that, you know, I must be on commission,
Speaker:but I'm not. And all of these apps, we're
Speaker:not, are we?
Speaker:We're not. You know, someone was saying
Speaker:to me, so that ebook you mentioned,
Speaker:Pascal, you must be making a fortune. So
Speaker:no, We're far too generous with our time.
Speaker:There's no hyperlink giving us a few
Speaker:cents here or there, maybe 1 day. Now
Speaker:listen, this is great. And our
Speaker:recommendation, you and I kind of help
Speaker:with being sometime in training mentoring
Speaker:mode, start with pen and paper or
Speaker:whiteboard, just map it out first and
Speaker:you're gonna be working so much faster on
Speaker:boost spaces. So here's a scenario for
Speaker:you. About a week or so ago, I was sent a
Speaker:link to a podcast episode, an hour
Speaker:conversation between 2 great experts. And
Speaker:I don't know about you, but my podcast to
Speaker:be listened list is as long as my Netflix
Speaker:watch list. It's just I need to find a
Speaker:way to clone myself and so on. So I was
Speaker:like, oh, drat, this sounds super
Speaker:interesting, but I just don't have the
Speaker:time. Or more importantly, would it be a
Speaker:waste of my time? I was thinking there
Speaker:must be a way to get a quick summary of a
Speaker:podcast. It's easy on YouTube because you
Speaker:can read the chapters, you can kind of
Speaker:fast forward whatever, but podcast is
Speaker:tweaking. And I wanted something that
Speaker:easy. I didn't want to go into the
Speaker:Descript RAM or Headliner, things we
Speaker:mentioned before. And I came across this
Speaker:great little tool called Snipcast.io,
Speaker:which was actually an invention from a
Speaker:young developer, we should not encourage
Speaker:the kind of younger developers out there,
Speaker:Mikael Svartveit, I hope I'm pronouncing
Speaker:this correctly. And what you do is quite
Speaker:simply, you copy and paste, let's say,
Speaker:the URL from Spotify into this dashboard,
Speaker:it's a web-based application. And then
Speaker:within moments, you get an email into
Speaker:your inbox with the key takeaways and the
Speaker:summaries. And I was definitely
Speaker:encouraged to go, brilliant. I can
Speaker:really, I want to listen to this now. I
Speaker:have my takes bank summary and I'm very,
Speaker:very encouraged. And this works as well
Speaker:with YouTube videos, which I thought was
Speaker:really, really impressive. So you have a
Speaker:free plan and then you have the kind of
Speaker:monthly as you can imagine. But you can
Speaker:see the many applications. So maybe
Speaker:you've been a guest on the podcast and
Speaker:it's been a while back and you want to do
Speaker:a bit of a repurposing on your own
Speaker:website. You don't want to have to listen
Speaker:to the whole interview and people don't
Speaker:have to listen to themselves anyway. So
Speaker:what you can do is copy and paste your
Speaker:URL on snipcast.io and get a summary and
Speaker:the key takeaways, well organized, really
Speaker:well thought out that you can then
Speaker:re-edit or maybe ask AI to support you
Speaker:for a bit more repurposing and put on
Speaker:your website. Maybe you want to do a
Speaker:repurposing of a podcast you've enjoyed
Speaker:thoroughly as part of your blogging
Speaker:activity. So you can then embed the
Speaker:podcast player or the YouTube player, and
Speaker:then you can have that key takeaways. So
Speaker:snipcast.io was really well thought out,
Speaker:great kind of UX, and I can see that
Speaker:there'd be many, many uses for it.
Speaker:Fantastic. 2 great apps for you to
Speaker:consider and to try out, ultimately to
Speaker:help you as website managers be more
Speaker:effective, more productive and start
Speaker:feeling proud of your website. Let's move
Speaker:on to the website call to action.
Speaker:Johnny and I are gonna recommend the 1
Speaker:change, the 1 adjustment that's going to
Speaker:make life much easier for you and make
Speaker:you feel proud of your website again.
Speaker:Johnny, what is your selection for this
Speaker:episode?
Speaker:Well, This 1 fits nicely with Google's IO
Speaker:conference last week in terms of how they
Speaker:are introducing AI into search. And it's
Speaker:about, are you answering people's
Speaker:questions? We've talked about having FAQs
Speaker:across your site on many occasions, on
Speaker:product pages, on service pages. But what
Speaker:I'd like to introduce is how those FAQs
Speaker:are presented. I'm thinking about using
Speaker:accordion drop downs. So dynamic, a
Speaker:dynamic FAQ section where you're pulling
Speaker:relevant questions onto relevant pages
Speaker:and having them set out in a way that
Speaker:makes it so easy to access, you know,
Speaker:potentially reducing support queries and
Speaker:speeding up clients and potential clients
Speaker:finding the right fit and really
Speaker:beginning to understand if they can trust
Speaker:you. So answering people's questions, but
Speaker:making it look nice using accordion style
Speaker:where you've got that plus and minus
Speaker:where you can open and close. And as I
Speaker:said, using dynamic FAQs so that perhaps
Speaker:you've got WordPress or whatever system,
Speaker:content management system you have, where
Speaker:it's very easy to place certain questions
Speaker:on certain product pages or certain
Speaker:service pages and just speeding up that
Speaker:process and making it easy to answer the
Speaker:frequently asked questions that your
Speaker:potential clients or clients are asking.
Speaker:We keep saying it, you know, to be seen
Speaker:and heard being helpful. That's really
Speaker:what this is all about. And interesting,
Speaker:I think the FAQ as a concept, as many as
Speaker:appear in some website culture action
Speaker:quite a few times, but there's a reason
Speaker:for that. Visitors really seek it out to
Speaker:begin with. And this definitely is your
Speaker:head moment from Johnny reward. It's
Speaker:obvious to me that this type of content
Speaker:is rewarded by higher visibility on
Speaker:search engines. So my culture action
Speaker:actually came as a result of a coaching
Speaker:session where I felt I had to apply a bit
Speaker:of tough love as 1 time you have to. So
Speaker:we were discussing with a client, the
Speaker:website progress, particularly in and
Speaker:around the blogging, and they had to
Speaker:confess that they'd not met some of the
Speaker:deadlines and that kind of things. But
Speaker:then interestingly, they've been,
Speaker:however, fine with social media. So I
Speaker:kind of get it. I understand that the
Speaker:environment is a lot more inviting and
Speaker:charming to do things on LinkedIn and
Speaker:Facebook and now X because it's changed
Speaker:recently as you well know. So I say,
Speaker:okay, I can use that, but you cannot kind
Speaker:of put that content on social media and
Speaker:then neglect the website, Unacceptable.
Speaker:But what you could do is any of you, if
Speaker:you shared recently, let's look at the
Speaker:month that was, and you've shared some
Speaker:interesting news or tech, answered some
Speaker:questions, But the vast majority of your
Speaker:network would have missed that because of
Speaker:the infamous algorithm and time of day
Speaker:and all that kind of stuff. So what you
Speaker:could do is use AI to convert these kind
Speaker:of social media posts into a enhanced
Speaker:best of social random. Let me explain
Speaker:what I mean. So a few years ago with that
Speaker:AI, what you would have done is copy and
Speaker:paste maybe the content of the post, or
Speaker:maybe you've embedded by putting the code
Speaker:of the post into your kind of blog. And
Speaker:you would have done something, okay. You
Speaker:say, here is the post you may have
Speaker:missed. But what you can do now with AI
Speaker:is go back to the social media post and
Speaker:ask AI to extrapolate maybe the key
Speaker:takeaways or to extrapolate the top
Speaker:actions that should be derived from the
Speaker:news item or the kind of follow-up
Speaker:questions 1 should have about this new
Speaker:tech. So that's what I mean by an
Speaker:enhanced best of social roundup. You
Speaker:know, you've done the work, you've
Speaker:published what you want to publish on
Speaker:LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,
Speaker:and all the others, and you use AI to
Speaker:expand upon the point you were making.
Speaker:And that becomes, like I said, the best
Speaker:of social roundup to go on your website.
Speaker:And again, using AI, we love it and why
Speaker:not? And I love the idea of literally
Speaker:just pasting some of your social content
Speaker:and turning that, repurposing it,
Speaker:repurposing it, and making sure that you
Speaker:are taking the best bits, that helpful,
Speaker:the resourceful stuff, and helping your
Speaker:clients and potential clients find it.
Speaker:What another great episode packed full of
Speaker:stuff. We've unpacked Google IOs
Speaker:conference, although we've not given it
Speaker:as much space as it really needs. We've
Speaker:unpacked small parts of it. And as Pascal
Speaker:said, we may end up doing another podcast
Speaker:to unpack it a bit more. But the part
Speaker:that we were very interested in today was
Speaker:all about AI in Google search and what
Speaker:that means for your search engine
Speaker:optimization. We've tried to reiterate
Speaker:that this is about making sure that you
Speaker:continue to be helpful and resourceful.
Speaker:Those are the 2 things to be thinking
Speaker:about. Is your content helpful? Is it
Speaker:resourceful? We've shared some great
Speaker:apps, some great tips. We of course have
Speaker:launched our roll the dice action
Speaker:randomizer. If you are in a marketing
Speaker:meeting and want a bit of inspiration on
Speaker:how you can start feeling proud of your
Speaker:website again, roll that dice, get an
Speaker:idea, share it in the meeting, put it in
Speaker:practice that week. And once you've done
Speaker:10, let us know. And we may have some
Speaker:surprise for you. It's been a great
Speaker:episode. This is the audio companion to
Speaker:the 90-day website mastery program. For
Speaker:more information please visit
Speaker:90daymarketingmastery.com. You'll be able
Speaker:to book a discovery call with either
Speaker:myself or Pascal. We'll be back with
Speaker:another podcast episode very soon. In the
Speaker:meantime, feel free to share your
Speaker:questions or your preferred apps. Let us
Speaker:know about the random actamizer and
Speaker:whether you've put things into place.
Speaker:We'd love to know and we'd certainly give
Speaker:you a shout out, but it's bye for now
Speaker:everyone. We'll leave you with a fun
Speaker:video and audio montage whilst you go
Speaker:through your notes and actions. Pascal,
Speaker:it's been great seeing you as always, and
Speaker:I shall see you soon. Take care everyone.
Speaker:Bye everyone. Bye bye.
Speaker:Hey! Whoa! Hey! Thanks for watching!
