Mapping the July Shake-Up: Core Update Fallout, AI Overviews, and Privacy Pull

August 4, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Google core update, AI Overviews, zero-click searches, DuckDuckGo browser redesign, SEO August 2025, search engine market share, privacy search trends

July was a reminder that search never sits still. Google’s June 2025 Core Update, which officially finished on July 17, delivered one of the most disruptive shake-ups in years, reshuffling rankings across health, retail, and finance and leaving many sites searching for stability (Google, 2025; Schwartz, 2025a, 2025b). At the same time, AI Overviews continued […]

The table is crowded, laptops half open, notes scattered. Deadlines are already late. Budgets are thin, thinner than they should be. Expectations do not move with AI scanners and criticism on everything, the work has to feel human, or it fails, and as we learned in May looking professional now looks fake on apps like […]

Navigating SEO After Google’s June 2025 Core Update

July 7, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

SEO 2025, Google June Core Update, AI Overviews, zero-click searches, structured data, Core Web Vitals, Bing SEO, Yandex optimization

Google’s June 2025 Core Update dramatically altered search rankings, with over 16% of top-10 URLs being new entries. This shift highlights the increasing importance of AI Overviews and structured data. Success metrics now extend beyond clicks to include impressions and performance across multiple search engines, demanding adaptation in SEO strategies.

Creative Collaboration and Generative Design Systems

A small team stares at a crowded content calendar.  New campaigns, product notes, community updates.  The budget will not stretch, the deadline will not move.  The stack does the heavy lifting instead.  One photograph becomes a spokesperson video.  Design ideas are worked up inside the tools the team already knows.  Reasoning support runs on modest […]

Navigating SEO in a Localized, Zero-Click World

June 2, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

SEO Zero Click

Search visibility is shifting again, and this time the changes are subtle but far-reaching. The big story through May is not a new algorithm, but the ongoing volatility from March’s core update, combined with growth signals in Bing and DuckDuckGo and a steady Yandex share that still matters in regional markets. At the same time, […]

Ever been that person who had to sit with a nonprofit director needing videos in three languages on a shoestring budget? The deadline is tight, the resources thin, and panic usually follows. Except now, with the right stack, the story plays differently. One script in Synthesia becomes localized clips, NotebookLM trims prep for board updates, […]

Why AI Detection Tools Fail at Measuring Value [OPINION]

May 22, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

AI detection, Originality.ai, GPTZero, Turnitin, Copyscape, Writer.com, Basil Puglisi, content strategy, false positives

AI detection platforms promise certainty, but what they really deliver is confusion. Originality.ai, GPTZero, Turnitin, Copyscape, and Writer.com all claim to separate human writing from synthetic text. The idea sounds neat, but the assumption behind it is flawed. These tools dress themselves up as arbiters of truth when in reality they measure patterns, not value. […]

Yahoo Deliverability Shake-Up & Multi-Engine SEO in a Privacy-First World

May 5, 2025 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Yahoo SEO Yandex Bing

April reshaped both inboxes and search results. Yahoo’s long-anticipated enforcement of stricter deliverability standards disrupted email campaigns worldwide, shifting filtering from IP-based checks to domain reputation. At the same time, privacy-first search engines like DuckDuckGo continued to capture attention as users sought alternatives to data-heavy platforms, while Google’s Privacy Sandbox reinforced that cookie deprecation is […]
