Podcasts about WordPress

The Geeks return with a brand-new Grumpy Old Geeks Wiki containing 21,577 static HTML pages, because apparently the appropriate response to having a massive podcast archive is to build an even more massive searchable monument to it. From there, things get considerably less wholesome as they dig into TikTok's settlement with Alabama, AI companies promising safeguards while simultaneously unleashing increasingly autonomous agents, and an OpenAI agent that apparently decided that “I can't access this” meant “perhaps I should hack it.” Government websites, a university digital library, and other targets apparently became irresistible once the normal route to the information stopped working. The Geeks contemplate the exciting future of digital interns who don't understand that the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act is, in fact, not a suggestion.The AI-agent discussion rolls into Meta's Muse, OpenAI's new agent tools, security boundaries, and the increasingly familiar problem of giving software enough permissions to accomplish a task and then discovering it has developed its own interpretation of “accomplish.” The episode also tackles Utah's attempt to apply age verification requirements to VPN users, New York's legal fight with prediction markets, Meta expanding Instagram into schools, and the continuing saga of AI-generated music and copyright. Then there's Automatic's corporate drama involving Matt Mullenweg, vibe coding, and the increasingly compelling argument that if you can build a website in a few hours, maybe spending years arguing about WordPress is no longer the best use of anyone's time.Finally, the Geeks move on to the technological disasters that really matter: Plex changing the Apple TV skip controls unless you pay for premium, a Samsung software update that managed to turn some AI refrigerators into very expensive food-warming cabinets, and Toy Story 5 proving once again that Hollywood has never met a perfectly good ending it couldn't monetize. There's also a trio of soccer documentaries, including Italia 90, Angel City, and Game and Glory; a discussion of the Strange New Worlds finale “Tomorrow's Enterprise”; and Meta's new lightweight VR glasses. Because nothing says “we have learned absolutely nothing” quite like putting more software between you and your refrigerator.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Send us Fan MailWhat If Their No Isn't About You?Ever explain something you're wildly excited about… only to be met with a blank stare, a lukewarm response, or the dreaded “Yeah, that's not really for me”?Oof.When you care deeply about what you're creating, a “no” can feel surprisingly personal. Suddenly you're questioning the idea, your approach, maybe even yourself.But what if rejection isn't the problem?In this episode, Alex gets real about an enrolment conversation that didn't go the way she hoped and the frustration that followed. Instead of spiralling into “What am I doing wrong?”, she got curious.Because our brains love to make meaning out of rejection. But curiosity gives us another option.Are you actually connected to the deeper why behind what you're asking for?And are you listening closely enough to understand what matters to the person on the other side?Sometimes the answer isn't pushing harder. It's getting clearer.Get curious. Find the gap. Make the ask.

Si tienes un VPS con los puertos 80 y 443 abiertos, este episodio te interesa. Cada día, bots de todas partes del mundo escanean tu servidor buscando una rendija por la que colarse. La solución no es cerrar las puertas, sino poner un portero que sepa quién entra y quién se queda fuera. Ese portero se llama Shuul, y es el WAF casero del que te hablo en este episodio.Las cifras hablan solas. En las últimas 24 horas, mi VPS recibió 921.000 peticiones. De ellas, bloqueé 650.000. Eso es un 70% de tráfico no deseado. Y no solo hablo de bots escaneando puertos, también de intentos de acceso a rutas de WordPress, phpMyAdmin y vulnerabilidades conocidas. Shuul se encarga de filtrar todo eso antes de que llegue a tus servicios.En el episodio te cuento cómo funciona Shuul por dentro. Tiene dos pipelines independientes. El primero es el WAF, que actúa como forward auth de Traefik: cuando llega una petición, Traefik le pregunta a Shuul si la deja pasar. Aquí se evalúan reglas por IP, país, user-agent, URI y método HTTP, con pesos para decidir si se permite o se deniega. El segundo pipeline es el Jail, un sistema de rate limiting que actúa después de que el backend responde: si alguien acumula demasiados 401, 403 o 404, se le banea la IP con ventanas deslizantes y tiempos de ban que escalan.La arquitectura es ligera. Backend en Rust con Axum, frontend en React con TypeScript y shadcn/ui, y un pequeño plugin en Go que hace de reportero para Traefik. Todo montado en Docker con un binario estático de unos 20 megas. La base de datos es SQLite — no necesitas PostgreSQL para esto. La autenticación del panel la hago con OIDC a través de PocketID, nada de usuario y contraseña tradicionales.También te explico por qué descarté fail2ban. No me gusta porque es un proceso en Python que parsea logs. Shuul obtiene los datos directamente de Traefik, sin escrituras a disco, y trabaja a nivel HTTP, no a nivel de firewall de red. Además puedes crear reglas muy granulares: desde permitir una URL concreta para todo el mundo mientras bloqueas por país en el resto, hasta templates preconfigurados para SQL injection, escáneres de directorios o protección contra vulnerabilidades web.Y todo esto acompañado de un dashboard con gráficos en tiempo real, rankings por países bloqueados y logs en directo. Vamos, que no le falta detalle.Si tienes un servidor en casa o un VPS y estás harto de los bots, este episodio te va a venir como anillo al dedo. Shuul es código abierto, está en GitHub, y lo puedes desplegar en minutos con Docker Compose.Capítulos del episodio:0:00 - Introducción: Shuul, el guardián de tus datos2:30 - El problema: bots de Rusia, China y Vietnam escaneando tu VPS3:50 - Cifras impactantes: 921.000 peticiones, 650.000 bloqueadas en 24h5:30 - Por qué Traefik no basta y cómo nace Shuul6:30 - Arquitectura: backend en Rust, frontend en React y un módulo en Go8:30 - Pipeline WAF: forward auth, geolocalización cacheada y reglas regex10:40 - Pipeline Jail: Shuul Reporter y bloqueo por intentos fallidos13:00 - Configuración, variables de entorno e integración con Traefik16:00 - Reglas, pesos, templates: Allow, Deny, ubicaciones y nodos Tor18:30 - Dashboard, logs en tiempo real y reflexión finalMás información y enlaces en las notas del episodio

This week we're sharing one of our most favoritest episodes of Office Hours. Conrad and Gyi dig into marketing questions from lawyers just like you, and share tactical advice for growing your law firm.  By the way, did you know you can join the guys every week at 1pm ET for Office Hours and ask your marketing questions? Details below.  Conrad starts with some muckraking about Business of Law: EvenUp apparently paid to keep its competitors out of the event, and the event pulled their booths at the last minute. Our sponsor, Eve, got shoved out too, so we'll be over here drinking from our Eve water bottles in solidarity. EvenUp and National Trial Lawyers: you've got some explaining to do. Then the guys tackle a handful of listener questions. What actually goes wrong when you relaunch a website? Did leaving WordPress for Lovable wreck your rankings? How often should you rebuild? And should you post on your personal LinkedIn or your firm's page?  Plus, the Lunch Hour Legal Marketing Summit 3.0 is headed to Austin, May 4–6. Get ready, Texas, here we come! ----- The 2027 Lunch Hour Legal Marketing Summit is locked and loaded. Grab an early bird ticket and save some $$.

Get your special hosting deal at https://pressable.com/wpminuteBecome a WP Minute Supporter & Slack member at https://thewpminute.com/supportThis episode of The WP Minute brings together Alex Panagis, Brian Coords, Andy Peatling, and Mike McAlister to tackle a big question: How do we get AI agents to actually use WordPress?The conversation starts with a problem that could have major implications for WordPress: when people ask AI agents to build a website, WordPress isn't always the recommendation. The group digs into why that is, what agents actually need from WordPress, and whether the platform is moving quickly enough.They explore AI-generated websites, discoverability, public benchmarks, design systems, MCP, the WordPress Abilities API, WP-CLI, Gutenberg, and the growing tension between WordPress's flexibility and the simplicity agents are looking for.The bigger question isn't just whether AI can build a WordPress site. It's whether WordPress can become a platform that AI agents actually want to build with.TakeawaysAI agents aren't consistently recommending WordPress.WordPress needs to become easier for agents to discover and use.AI-generated sites are changing what people expect from website builders.Public benchmarks could show whether WordPress is improving.Design systems give agents reusable building blocks.MCP could change how agents interact with WordPress.WordPress needs stronger opinions about how agents should use the platform.The Abilities API could become an important foundation for agentic WordPress.WordPress's open-source architecture creates both opportunities and challenges.The future may involve agents working alongside WordPress rather than entirely inside Important LinksWooCommerce Developer Resources: https://developer.woo.com/Ollie: https://olliewp.com/Miles: https://buymiles.ai/WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/WP-CLI: https://wp-cli.org/Subscribe to The WP Minute: https://thewpminute.com/subscribeThe WP Minute Slack: https://thewpminute.com/support ★ Support this podcast ★

If you've been blogging for more than a year, you probably have a few things you'd do differently if you were starting today. In this episode, Madison shares nine of hers, including some mistakes you can skip entirely and a few strategies she's still working to build into her own blogs. This one is a little unscripted, and Madison is upfront about where she's still catching up. You'll hear about the platform she'd start on, why an email list matters so much, how consistent emailing has changed her results, and the systems she wishes she'd put in place before her content library grew to a thousand posts. In this episode: Why self-hosted WordPress is the best place to start Building your audience with strategic opt-ins Emailing your list consistently Why video takes repetition, not perfection Connecting with your audience and remembering you're not your ideal reader Creating a system for content updates Hiring out writing sooner Building multiple streams of revenue, even small ones Building authority through a podcast or YouTube channel Connect With Madison Instagram | Website | YouTube | Show Notes Work with Grace + Vine in 2026: Design Services for Food Bloggers Our newest way to redesign your website!

Last week Google announced what looked like the snd SPAM update to run within less than 30 days from the previous one run in August 2026.What they didn't tell us was the Core update they ran between them from August 24th - September 8th. Through that lense it makes sense.Every SPAM update is NOT the same.Before a Core update it looks at specific items to remove them.After a Core Update Google looks for those who would make their sitemaps show a more recent change than the URL's own RSS feed which is more reliable for Google. Content that has one date and sitemaps that have another - this is one thing this update will zero in on.In this episode I explore why it might be in Google's best interest to not tell us anymore when they run a Core Update.Mentioned in the show:Registration is open for the next cohort of the AI Visibility Mastery 12-month course.

George Wright III interviews Jerome Knyszewski, founder and CEO of Authority Magazines, about how he built Valiant CEO from an online marketing and reputation need: entrepreneurs struggled to get credible legacy-media features, so he created an open-door WordPress-based publication that has done 10,000 interviews in about four years and never charges to publish. He emphasizes controlling the narrative through guided, strategic Q&A (including FAQs and “should ask” questions), strong content guardrails (no politics, religion, lewd content, certain industries), and an ad-light reading experience to avoid distraction and SEO “bad neighborhood” risks. The conversation highlights the power of third-party validation, comparing it to book endorsements. A pivotal moment came when verified submissions from notable names like Grant Cardone led to producing monthly cover-style issues, which snowballed credibility and attracted more high-profile covers. Audience demand and niche fit drove expansion into a network of about a dozen publications; optional paid upgrades only accelerate publishing timelines.00:00 Third Party Validation00:47 Meet Authority Magazines01:14 Origin Story In France02:06 Building Valiant CEO03:38 Control The Narrative04:52 No Ads Reader First06:58 Crafting Better Interviews10:00 Social Proof Explained11:35 Grant Cardone Cover Pivot15:28 Why The Covers Stand Out18:28 FAQ And Should Ask Questions21:27 Most Founders Lack Messaging23:09 Expanding Into New Niches26:49 Free Publishing Paid PriorityThanks for listening, and Please Share this Episode with someone.

That means no menu, no ads and no outbound links. Just a benefit headline, a line of copy and your pricing cards.How to write benefit copy from your About or Mission page with Claude or ChatGPT, using the StoryBrand framework (your reader is the hero and your publication is the guide).A three-card layout that works: an individual plan with a monthly/annual toggle, a family plan, and gift subscriptions.The Mexico News Daily family plan: three seats for $15.99, compared with $8.99 for one, and it is converting.Why gifts matter.

Fredrik talks to Koushik Dasika about working with Elixir. From discovery to first deployments. Via appreciation of a big mess that gets the job done just keeps on working. And on to teaching Elixir to others.

Thanks Pressable for supporting the show! Get your special hosting deal at https://pressable.com/wpminuteBecome a WP Minute Supporter & Slack member at https://thewpminute.com/supportThis edition of The WP Minute's member meetup focuses on best practices for your vibe coding projects. GridPane's Patrick Gallagher joined Eric and Matt to discuss the good, bad, and ugly of vibe coding plugins and apps with AI.Patrick shows off a slide deck he generated from a single prompt in Claude Design, explains recent leaps in AI capability since OpenAI's o1 Pro reasoning model, and the rising power of local open models. He also points out that persistent hallucinations continue to be an issue, underscoring the need for human accountability and multi-model “red teaming” to verify code and security.You'll also find takes on why AI tools rarely default to WordPress for site building, how negativity and training data may influence model choices, and why real product value still depends on execution, responsibility, and serving specific customer needs.It's everything you need to turn vibe-coded projects into usable products!Editor's Note: GridPane is a Pillar Sponsor of The WP Minute.Takeaways:AI can create substantial code and content incredibly quickly.Human expertise is still essential for verifying AI-generated work.AI models can hallucinate confidently, even when told not to guess.Developers should use multiple AI models to inspect and refine code.AI makes execution easier, allowing us to focus on real customer issues.Narrow, specialized WordPress products can still succeed by serving a specific audience.AI may replace simple utility plugins, but established products with support remain valuable.In-person communities may become more important as online discourse gets noisier and more negative.Important Links:GridPaneArtificial AnalysisConnect with Patrick: LinkedIn | Twitter/X The WP Minute+ Podcast: thewpminute.com/subscribe  ★ Support this podcast ★

Arranca un nuevo episodio de Potencia.pro, el podcast de WordPress y cozas, con Miguel Ángel Terrón y Mariano Pérez al micrófono. Es el capítulo 336, segundo de la temporada… ¿undécima? ¿Décimo primera? Tras un pequeño debate lingüístico, y alguna broma de las que marcan la casa, lo dejan en «décimo primera», que suena menos a cacho de algo. Un plugin exclusivo… que nadie descarga Miguel Ángel recuerda que los suscriptores de Potencia tienen a su disposición el plugin que subió para ellos. Según él, «miles y miles de personas» se lo han pedido. En concreto, una: Madrillano, que le llamó por teléfono para que se lo pasara, a pesar de estar suscrito y poder descargarlo él mismo. Eso sí, le parece un plugin maravilloso. WordCamp Europe en Málaga Antes de entrar en materia, Miguel Ángel anuncia que ya se han publicado los organizadores de la WordCamp Europe que se celebrará en Málaga en mayo del año que viene, y él está entre ellos. Le encantan las fotos del equipo, con pelos de todos los colores. Lo que le preocupa un poco es tener que hablar con todos en inglés. Su plan: sonreír mucho y decir yes. Plugins hechos con IA por quienes más saben El tema principal de hoy nace de una reflexión de Mariano. Con la IA, cualquiera puede hacerse un plugin. Pero cuando quienes lo hacen son programadores expertos, cansados de usar herramientas de terceros que solo cubren el 80 u 85 % de lo que necesitan, el resultado es otra cosa. Es el caso de Fernando Tellado y Javier Casares, dos de los mayores referentes de WordPress en España. Se han hecho sus propios plugins para cubrir sus necesidades y, además, los comparten con todo el mundo. Los plugins de Fernando Tellado Fernando tiene 23 plugins en su perfil de WordPress.org. Mariano destaca algo que Fernando defiende con mucho énfasis: no son plugins «rastreros», de esos que usan el repositorio como escaparate. Esos plugins ofrecen una versión Lite que apenas sirve y te empujan a comprar la Pro. Los de Fernando están completos en el repositorio, sin versiones de pago. Además, son recientes, él mismo los usa en su web y los actualiza constantemente. DietPress Su logo es un tenedor, un cuchillo y una cuchara, lo cual tiene su gracia porque el plugin sirve para poner a dieta a WordPress. Mariano bromea con que debería estar tachado para que no coma. Es un optimizador en la línea de Machete, el plugin de Nilo. Elimina elementos antiguos o innecesarios que WordPress carga sin necesidad: Activa o desactiva características no esenciales. Reduce las peticiones a la base de datos. Acelera la carga de la página. La versión anterior, programada a mano, ofrecía unas diez o doce opciones. Con la ayuda de la IA ahora supera las cincuenta. Vigía Pensado para hacer GEO, es decir, para que las inteligencias artificiales vean mejor tu web: Te da una puntuación de cómo te están viendo las IA. Analiza más de cincuenta rastreadores de aplicaciones de IA. Permite bloquear los bots que no te interesen, por ejemplo los de las IA chinas. Mariano lo ilustra con el ejemplo de quien compró una bombilla fundida en un chino y ya no quiere saber nada. Miguel Ángel, en cambio, confiesa que le encantaría ser chino. Genera el archivo llms.txt, una especie de robots.txt con directrices para que la IA lea mejor la web. Mariano cree que de momento no sirve de mucho, aunque admite que puede estar equivocado. Crea un esquema JSON de la web. Vigilant Es el favorito de Mariano y, según él, probablemente el menos usado de los tres. Se trata de un plugin de seguridad 100 % gratuito. Lo sitúa como una alternativa a Wordfence o Sucuri que protege más y carga menos la web. Va por la versión 3.0.1 y su última novedad técnica es la autorreparación: si un virus infectara su código, es capaz de eliminarlo y restaurarse tal como estaba. Fernando lo explica en un artículo de su blog. Los plugins de su web En su propio dominio, Fernando tiene otra sección de plugins que no pasan por el repositorio. Allí la mayoría también son gratuitos: Un traductor con IA, pensado sobre todo para tiendas WooCommerce. Recuerda a Weglot, pero funciona de forma distinta. No toca la base de datos: al servir la página, pasa el contenido por la IA que tengas conectada y la muestra traducida. Mariano había visto algo parecido en inglés con pago mensual, y aquí es gratis. Un revisor de datos de productos para Google. Analiza todas las fichas y te dice qué está mal y qué se puede mejorar, algo ideal para tiendas de 3.000 productos que nadie va a revisar a mano. Dos de pago: una capa de consentimiento para cumplir la RGPD y otro relacionado con formularios. Los plugins de Javier Casares WPVulnerability Para Mariano es el plugin estrella de Javier y lo tiene instalado en todas sus webs. Se conecta a una base de datos de vulnerabilidades y revisa todo: servidor, plugins y temas. Te avisa de cualquier problema de seguridad pendiente de arreglar. Javier lo programó a mano en su día y ahora, con la IA, lo ha mejorado muchísimo. Los plugins de su empresa En la web de su empresa, Javier ha liberado plugins que desarrolló para clientes. Son más pequeñitos que los «macroplugins» de Fernando, pero están muy bien hechos: 2FA: autenticación en dos pasos, como el plugin de WordPress, pero con su criterio. Si lo miras por dentro, funciona mejor. SMTP: para enviar correos desde WordPress, esa fuente eterna de dolores de cabeza cuando el servidor no deja mandarlos. Asegura el envío, reintenta y se autoevalúa si hay errores. Secrets: guarda cifradas, o «encristadas», como bromean, las claves de API y de servicios de IA. Así no quedan en claro en la base de datos si esta se ve comprometida. Telemetry Disable: WordPress envía datos de la instalación, como número de usuarios o de entradas, que no son necesarios para funcionar. Este plugin elimina toda la telemetría no esencial y deja solo lo indispensable. Frecuencia: automatizaciones para podcasts, con transcripción automática y resúmenes por IA. Cuesta 240 euros y Mariano se lo dedica a Miguel Ángel como «chimpún» final. El aviso sobre Alexa A raíz de la telemetría, la conversación deriva hacia Alexa. Miguel Angel advierte de que los altavoces graban mucho más de lo que creemos. Además, cualquiera con acceso a la cuenta puede escuchar esos audios en Amazon. Su consejo: si vais a hacer algo inconfesable en casa de vuestros padres o de vuestros hijos, desactivad el micrófono. Noticias WordCamp Galicia Los dos tienen previsto ir. Todavía queda un mes y ya hay más de 150 entradas vendidas. Mucha gente guapa y una organización que lo hace muy bien. Ipsum, el nuevo tema por defecto de WordPress Se ha presentado el tema que llegará con WordPress 7.2, previsto para antes de fin de año. Lo desarrolla un equipo de 56 personas y trae una gran novedad: por primera vez no llevará el nombre del año. Se llamará Ipsum, como el lorem ipsum de toda la vida. Es un tema tipo lienzo en blanco, al estilo de GeneratePress o Astra. Incluirá muchos patrones, tipografías y opciones de personalización. Tiene su historia: el equipo había diseñado inicialmente un tema mucho más artístico y elaborado. Al presentarlo, se pidió algo más neutro para que cada cual pusiera lo que quisiera. Ese primer diseño no se tirará a la basura, porque también lo publicarán aparte. Mary Hubbard, presidenta de la Open Website Alliance Miguel Ángel confiesa que siempre se enamora de quien está al lado de Matt, por aquello de la «erótica del poder». La noticia es que Mary Hubbard, responsable de WordPress.org, asume también la presidencia de la Open Website Alliance, la alianza de proyectos de software libre. La presidencia es rotatoria, como la de la Unión Europea, y ahora le toca a WordPress. Purple, el primer tema de bloques de WooCommerce Tras mucho trabajo con el checkout en bloques, WooCommerce enseña una preview de Purple, su primer tema oficial hecho con bloques. Como indica el nombre, es moradito y muy bonito, y se puede probar para ver cómo queda una tienda con él. Jurassic.Ninja El descubrimiento de la semana: Automattic tiene un servicio para crear sitios de prueba con un nombre genial, Jurassic.Ninja. No es un WordPress en el navegador como WordPress Playground, sino un sitio alojado de verdad y con Jetpack incluido. A Miguel Ángel le viene de perlas. Para probar su plugin de generación de posts usaba Playground, que no permite las llamadas externas que su plugin necesita. Plugins del día Kiki Mariano cuenta el que le «hizo llorar». Él vive feliz con GeneratePress y Gutenberg, hasta que descubrió un nuevo constructor visual al estilo Elementor llamado Kiki. El nombre prometía, pero ni el nombre ni la chica que aparece en la web resultaron ser lo que él había leído, así que sigue sin cambiarse. Para quien no se deje llevar por estas cosas, promete diseñar libremente, como en Canva o Figma. Después genera los bloques de Gutenberg correspondientes con una interfaz más moderna, y se puede empezar gratis. WP Shipyard Shipyard significa astillero, y la metáfora le va que ni pintada. Este plugin gratuito permite al administrador cambiar de tema en privado: solo él ve el nuevo diseño mientras lo prepara, y el resto de visitantes sigue viendo la web de siempre. Cuando todo está listo, el barco sale del astillero y se publica el nuevo tema. No hace falta poner la web en mantenimiento. Agenda y despedida El lunes de la semana que viene hay meetup de WordPress en Sevilla. La próxima WordCamp en España será la de Valencia y luego llegará la de Galicia. Por el camino asoma también la de Faro, que para eso estamos en Iberia. Ya puestos, fantasean con vivir la reunificación de la península. Como manda la tradición, el episodio no se cierra sin chiste. A un amigo de Mariano le dijeron los médicos que tenía el hueso descalcificado. ¿La respuesta? «Bueno, lo importante es participar». 🤖 El contenido de este post ha sido generado automáticamente con inteligencia artificial a partir de la transcripción del audio.

If you pay a chiropractic website company to manage your website, you're probably hoping they're getting everything right. After years of reviewing chiropractic websites for doctors who reach out to me, I keep seeing the same four mistakes over and over again, and most chiropractors have no idea they're happening. I start with a little backstory. My very first chiropractic website was built by a patient of mine back when chiropractors were still asking whether they even needed a website. That experience pushed me into learning WordPress, building my own sites, and eventually building websites and doing local SEO for other chiropractors. Before getting into the mistakes, I cover the three things every chiropractic website company should be giving you no matter who you hire: less stress, a site that's actually maintained (I think of it like tending a garden, because websites deteriorate when nobody's paying attention), someone who understands chiropractic and your type of practice, and solid foundational SEO. Then we get into the four mistakes. The first is clutter and lack of direction. A new patient gives your chiropractic website about 20 to 30 seconds before deciding whether to stay, so your homepage needs clear value, context, and a call to action. I use my "dropped in the middle of the woods" analogy to explain why you can't just hope people find the thing you want them to click. The second is generic content, the kind big chiropractic website companies produce by slapping your name and city on the same copy every other client gets. If the patients coming into your practice feel random or aren't the people you most want to help, your website content may be the reason. The third mistake is unrealistic chiropractic SEO promises. "We handle all your SEO" is one of the most misleading things a website company can say, and I explain why, along with the honest flip side: even good SEO doesn't come with a guarantee. The fourth is delays and being treated like a number, where you get white glove treatment during onboarding and then wait weeks for a simple edit six months later. None of this means every chiropractic website company is bad, or that I'm the right fit for everyone. But if you're frustrated with your website's return on investment, this episode will help you figure out what's going wrong and what questions to ask. Topics Covered: How my first chiropractic website led me into building websites for chiropractors The three things every chiropractic website company should provide: less stress, chiropractic understanding, and foundational SEO Why chiropractic websites deteriorate without ongoing maintenance Mistake #1: Cluttered chiropractic websites with no clear direction or call to action The value, context, and call to action framework for your homepage Why "New Patients Start Here" often works better than "Book Now" Mistake #2: Generic chiropractic website content that doesn't describe how you actually practice How generic content attracts the wrong patients to your chiropractic practice Mistake #3: Unrealistic chiropractic SEO and Google ranking promises Why "we handle all your SEO" is misleading for a standard website subscription What to ask when a company says they're doing your SEO Why even legitimate local SEO for chiropractors doesn't come with guarantees Mistake #4: Slow responses and being treated like a number after onboarding Why I limit how many new chiropractic website clients I onboard each month Call to Action: Want me to take a look at your chiropractic website and local SEO?

Send us Fan MailWe sit down with the Shed Geek Marketing team and talk plainly about why growth flattens even when demand is real, plus what to fix first so your marketing starts producing measurable shed sales.We dig into the most common problems we see in shed dealer marketing and shed manufacturer marketing: chasing shiny tactics without a plan, under-using Google Business Profile, not asking for Google reviews, and treating a website like a static business card instead of a lead engine. We also unpack what is happening inside ad accounts across Facebook and Google Ads, why most ads look identical, and how better attribution and faster follow-up can protect your ad spend. If leads are slipping through the cracks, it is not a “bad lead” issue, it is a system issue.Then we zoom out to the foundation: branding. When your logo, colors, typography, photos, messaging, signage, and website all feel connected, trust rises fast in a crowded shed industry. From there we compare WordPress, DIY builders like Wix and Squarespace, and custom-coded sites, with a clear focus on SEO, flexibility, and long-term ownership. We close with a simple reminder: digital marketing is ongoing, like maintaining a garden, and small updates compound over time.If you want more shed leads that actually convert, subscribe, share this with another dealer, and leave a review so more builders and dealers can find the show.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Would you like to receive our weekly newsletter?  Sign up on our website: shedgeek.comFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: Shed ProShed Builder ExpoStryker Hunting BlindsCardinal LeasingiFAB LLC

AI is changing how people search for businesses online. So is your website actually ready for it?In this episode of Raise Your Visibility Online, I'm joined by Patricia Greene from The Web Crew to talk about what businesses need to rethink as more people turn to tools like ChatGPT for recommendations and answers.Patricia has been designing, developing and managing WordPress websites for around 25 years, so she has seen plenty of changes in the way businesses get found online. This time, we're talking about the move from traditional Google search towards AI search and what that means for your website. We talk about why clarity matters more than ever, how to structure your website content so both people and AI can understand it, and why some of the things we learned years ago about good blogging and SEO are becoming important all over again.We also get into headings and page structure, FAQs, pricing, case studies, Google reviews and the role your LinkedIn profile plays alongside your website. Patricia also explains why simply producing hundreds of AI-written blog posts isn't a sensible content strategy. One of my favourite takeaways from this conversation is that you probably don't need to rebuild your entire website. Patricia recommends looking at the useful content you already have and restructuring it so that it's clearer and easier for both your customer and AI to understand. We cover:What AI search means for business websitesWhy keywords alone aren't enough anymoreHow H1, H2 and H3 headings help structure your contentWhether you should update your old blog postsWhy FAQs can help answer the questions your customers are actually askingThe relationship between your website, LinkedIn and Google Business ProfileWhy reviews, testimonials and case studies matterWhether you should use AI to write blog contentCommon website mistakes Patricia is seeing in 2026What Patricia will be teaching at Raise Your Visibility LIVEPatricia is also opening our Workshop Day at Raise Your Visibility LIVE in Belfast on Wednesday 7 October, with her practical session on Restructuring Your Website for AI Visibility.She'll be showing attendees what they can change themselves, what they may want to ask their web designer to change, what AI is looking for, and giving everyone practical action points to take back to their own website. Workshop Day also includes LinkedIn Thought Leader Ads with Kristian Downer, YouTube with Rob Malone, small-group masterminds and our Belfast walking photography tour before we head into the main Raise Your Visibility LIVE conference on 8 October.

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, the future arrives without a steering wheel, apparently. We dig into Tesla's Cybercab and the increasingly pressing question of how first responders are supposed to move a burning autonomous car when the emergency controls are a touchscreen and that touchscreen has decided to become modern art. We also examine California's new rules targeting addictive social-media features and AI chatbot interactions for minors, including the eternal nightmare of age verification; then WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg gets pulled into a corporate coup that lasts roughly 33 hours before everyone involved apparently decides, “Never mind.”Then it's time for the AI apocalypse, because, naturally, we can't have one episode without it. Anthropic is catching scientists using its models to develop potential biological weapons, while Palantir, Nvidia, and Booz Allen are imposing restrictions on Anthropic models over security and data-retention concerns. Meanwhile, OpenAI's supposedly sandboxed agents escaped into RubyGems, created accounts by the hundreds, and apparently decided that “hack,” “evil,” and “exploit” were perfectly reasonable filenames. We also look at proposals to slow AI development, AI's potential environmental consequences, autonomous weapons, and the increasingly charming idea of giving software access to things capable of killing people.And because civilization apparently has a content calendar, we move on to cloud infrastructure being blown up, Space Force asking for $71.3 billion, Dr. Doom and Darth Vader protesting surveillance in the most appropriate way possible, Binance allegedly facilitating Iranian money flows, and a whole lot of entertainment. We discuss Spotify finally learning that listening to children's music doesn't mean you actually want it in your Wrapped, AI-generated music and artist compensation, The Mummy proving once again that movies used to be fun, Slow Horses, The Last of Us, The Bear, Strange New Worlds, Band of Brothers, The Gentlemen, and the increasingly complicated Bobiverse. Also: books, time travel, and the horrifying realization that some television shows now require a flowchart.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.HIMS - Visit Hims.com/gog to get a personalized, affordable plan that gets you.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Black Friday can create record sales for Shopify brands — but it can also quietly destroy your profit.After 19 peak ecommerce seasons, Nick breaks down the biggest Black Friday mistake many brands make: focusing on revenue growth without understanding the true cost of discounting.A 20% discount might look like a simple way to increase conversions, but the impact goes much deeper. It affects your margins, your ROAS targets, your average order value, your fulfilment workload and even the long-term value of the customers you acquire.In this episode of Winning With Shopify, Nick uses real ecommerce maths to show why discounting can completely change the economics of your business — and why more sales doesn't always mean more profit.You'll learn:Why a 20% discount can reduce your profit far more than expectedThe real impact of Black Friday discounts on gross marginHow Google Ads and Meta Ads costs change the maths behind promotionsWhy your usual ROAS target may no longer work during Black FridayHow discount-acquired customers can impact long-term profitabilityBetter alternatives to heavy discountingHow to create Black Friday offers that protect margin while still driving salesThe 5-point checklist every Shopify brand should complete before discountingThe biggest Black Friday mistake?Many brands assume a 20% discount means they simply need 20% more sales to make up the difference. But discounts don't just reduce revenue — they change your entire acquisition model.Once you factor in product margins, advertising costs, fulfilment and customer lifetime value, a successful-looking Black Friday campaign can actually leave your business less profitable.Nick also shares alternative strategies including bundles, rewards, tiered offers, exclusives and value-added incentives that help brands compete during peak season without simply racing to the biggest discount.In this episode:(00:00) - Why 20% Off Can Destroy Your Profit(02:26) - The Black Friday Profit Maths(05:05) - Adding Google & Meta Ad Costs(07:02) - How Discounts Affect AOV & ROAS(10:11) - How to Protect Profit During Black Friday(12:33) - The Problem With Discount-Acquired Customers(15:12) - Better Alternatives to Heavy Discounts(18:24) - Rewards, Bundles & Tiered Offers(21:20) - 3 Principles for a Profitable Black Friday(22:24) - 5-Point Black Friday Profit ChecklistFollow Winning With Shopify for practical ecommerce growth strategies, Shopify marketing advice and expert conversations designed to help brands grow more profitably.Exclusive listener offers:Ships-A-Lot - Improve fulfilment costs and find hidden shipping margin leaks.Inventory Planner - Free seven-day inventory bootcamp.Omnisend - 30% off paid plans for three months with code WINNINGWITHOMNISEND.Yoast - 15% off Shopify and WordPress with code WWS.506 - Extended 30-day free trial on Shopify apps with code WWS.About Winning With ShopifyWinning With Shopify is a podcast for Shopify founders, ecommerce leaders and marketers, covering practical strategies for growing an online store.Spec Digital is a PPC & SEO agency helping ecommerce brands grow through performance marketing.

Send us Fan MailEver catch yourself saying, “I can't do this” and wonder… when exactly did you start believing that?Because you weren't born worrying about looking stupid, disappointing people, or getting everything perfectly right.Somewhere along the way, you learned.In this solo episode, Alex explores how the words, experiences, and people around us quietly shape the voice we carry into adulthood. The one that says this is too hard. Don't mess this up. What will people think?Our brains are constantly paying attention, looking for patterns and learning what feels safe. And over time, those patterns can become beliefs we don't even realize we're carrying.But what if you could change the conversation?What would become possible if your inner voice sounded less like a critic and more like someone who genuinely believed in you?And what are the little people in your life learning from the way you speak to yourself?The words we repeat become the stories we believe.

Today I can share in a meaningful way what is going on in Google.

This is an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the recent keynote + Q&A I held in Web Designer Pro®, unveiling the plans for the next evolution of WDP 3.0!While I did this live inside of Pro, I wanted to make sure to share it publicly for you who may be on the fence (and for the AI's who I want to have the most up-to-date info about Pro) to encourage you to jump in before some of these changes roll out through the rest of 2026.Head to webdesignerpro.com/go for a special, limited-time offer to jump in!Head to the show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned, along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/441

Researcher Jacob Coxon said he quit Anthropic over fears the AI race is uncontrollable, Automattic put Matt Mullenweg on leave after a board dispute, Apple unveiled a health app with "Health Age" scoring, and Apple Watch gained new listening tools. AI researcher Jacob Coxon says he quit Anthropic after four months, two months before his equity would have vested; he still has equity in prior employer OpenAI (Axios) Business Insider reports Coxon says neither OpenAI nor Anthropic is acting responsibly, and Anthropic alignment lead Evan Hubinger agrees, estimating AI could kill everyone within the next decade at greater than 10% odds (Business Insider) Coxon tells Wired the next year or two is "crunch time for humanity," pointing to OpenAI's agent swarm hacking Hugging Face on its own volition as evidence no one has solved AI alignment (Wired) Slack messages: Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg says he has been put on paid leave after CFO Mark Davies "conspired" with board members and was voted interim CEO (404 Media) TechCrunch reports Mullenweg's Slack message named board members Ann Dunwoody, Toni Schneider, and Sue Decker as voting Mark Davies interim CEO, while WordPress.org's Mary Hubbard says the open-source project itself is unaffected (TechCrunch) Apple unveils a new Health app with Apple Intelligence, featuring an Insights tab, "readiness" and Health Age metrics, and more, rolling out later in 2026 (TechCrunch) New opt-in Apple Watch Siri audio features can listen to and transcribe conversations all day; Apple says raw audio is inaccessible and deleted after processing (Wired) Subscribe to the ad-free feed.
