Over the years – as you can see – I’ve added to this blog only sporadically. I decided to leave all the old posts ‘live’ as I think they can still be useful in helping folk understand digital marketing.
Oh ... and I write all of these entries myself. There's no AI used on this blog.
Enjoy 😊

nice sign
A few weeks ago I posted a story of a business where the opening hours were hard to find. Well, here's an example of good practice. This is from the google listing for a business, with the search being outside it's hours of business. Note that after you've set it up, Google does the work for you.

what's the point if ...
... 'Grok can make mistakes', [you should] 'verify its outputs'.
In case you're not a follower of football: it was 2-0 at half time [surely every report on this match anywhere on the web would have reported this correctly], particularly as the third goal [on the hour mark] came in the second half. If an LLM can get something as simple and obvious as this wrong, why would to trust it for anything important?
