Hey everyone,

I’m a digital marketer with SEO experience, and recently I’ve been very interested in AI agents that can automate SEO tasks for websites.

I want to learn how to build an AI SEO agent that can do things like:

• Website audits
• Keyword research
• Content optimization
• Internal linking suggestions
• Technical SEO checks
• Competitor analysis
• AI content workflows
• Automated reporting

Basically, I want to understand how to create an AI-powered SEO system that can analyze almost any website and provide actionable recommendations.

I’m looking for:

• Best courses or YouTube channels
• Communities or Discord groups
• GitHub projects/open-source tools
• Tech stack recommendations
• Learning roadmap (AI + SEO + automation)
• Tools like LangChain, OpenAI API, MCP, RAG, vector DBs, etc.

If anyone has already built something similar or is learning this, I’d love to hear your suggestions and experiences.

If you had to launch a brand-new website today with zero authority, what would your SEO strategy look like?

Would you focus on:

• Topical authority
• AI-assisted content
• Parasite SEO
• Digital PR
• Reddit/community marketing
• YouTube + SEO combination
• Local SEO

Interested in hearing modern strategies that are actually working now.

For agency owners, freelancers, and marketers:

What’s currently bringing the best quality leads for your business?

• SEO
• LinkedIn
• Cold email
• Google Ads
• Reddit
• AI automation
• YouTube
• Referrals

Feels like buyer behavior is changing fast, so I’d love to know what’s actually working in 2026.

Lately I’ve noticed more people searching things like:
“best CRM reddit”
“SEO agency reddit”
“AI tools reddit”

Do you think Reddit communities are becoming more trusted than blogs or traditional search results?

And for marketers, how are you using Reddit without sounding too promotional?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a comprehensive and up-to-date Marketing Management book that covers both traditional and modern marketing concepts in depth. I want something that includes:

• Digital marketing
• AI in marketing
• Branding & positioning
• Consumer behavior
• SEO & performance marketing
• Product & growth marketing
• Marketing strategy
• Case studies & real-world examples

I’ve heard a lot about Marketing Management by Philip Kotler, especially the latest 17th edition with AI and updated marketing trends.

Would you still recommend that as the best “all-in-one” marketing book in 2026, or are there better/newer alternatives?

Also, if possible, please suggest:

• Best book for beginners
• Best advanced marketing book
• Best book focused on digital/AI marketing
• Best practical book for real business growth

Would love to hear recommendations from marketers, founders, MBA students, or anyone working in the industry.

I’m currently working on a client project where the goal is to rank not just in traditional Google search results, but also in Google’s AI Overview.

So far, I’ve been focusing on on-page optimization, improving content quality, and building relevant backlinks. I’m trying to make the site as strong as possible from an SEO standpoint, but I’m not sure what specifically influences inclusion in AI Overview.

A friend of mine, who works at Yashvi Global, mentioned they’re doing LLM optimization for clients and seeing good results. I’ve asked him to share some strategies as well.

In the meantime, I’d really appreciate hearing from others who have actually implemented strategies that worked for getting featured in AI Overview. What made the biggest difference for you?

Thanks in advance!

Three years ago, I was obsessed with volume. 10k/month? Yes. 500/month? Skip it.

Then I started actually tracking which keywords were bringing in revenue vs just traffic.

The 500/month keyword converted at 8%. The 10k one? 0.4%.

I've completely flipped how I do keyword research now. I barely look at volume as a primary metric anymore. I care more about:

• Who is searching this (buyer vs researcher vs random curiosity click)
• Where they are in the decision journey
• Whether the SERP is showing results that match commercial intent

Honestly the whole "go after high volume low competition" advice beginners get is fine for traffic numbers but terrible for building something that actually makes money.

Anyone else shifted away from volume-first thinking? Or am I wrong here — genuinely curious what's working for others right now.

With Google emphasizing EEAT more, I’m unsure how AI content fits into this long-term.

Even if the content is well-written, it doesn’t naturally show experience or authority.

Are you:

• Adding author profiles?
• Including personal insights manually?
• Or not worrying much about it?

Trying to figure out what actually moves the needle here.
