Im SEO/GEO-Monatsrückblick für den Juli 2026 stelle ich 10 aktuelle relevante Themen vor: Was bringen die neuen Platform Properties in der GSC? Welche wichtigen Informationen zum Crawl Budget hat Google veröffentlicht? Das und viel mehr gibt's hier in komprimierter Form.   GEO/AI [1] https://searchengineland.com/chatgpt-ai-referral-traffic-sessions-data-481630 Für eine Studie wurde u. a. der Referral Traffic der unterschiedlichen LLMs betrachtet. ChatGPT schickt mittlerweile 92,4% des Traffics (12,8x mehr als vor 19 Monaten). Zitat zu ChatGPT: „It's the only LLM sending meaningful referral volume at scale." [2] https://www.axios.com/2026/07/23/yelp-reviews-chatgpt-geo-partnership ChatGPT und Yelp sind eine Partnerschaft eingegangen, sodass bei lokalen Suchanfragen jetzt auch Yelp-Ergebnisse angezeigt werden. Wer als lokales Unternehmen Yelp also nicht nutzt, sollte sich die Plattform durchaus intensiv anschauen. [3] https://searchengineland.com/google-makes-recipes-in-ai-mode-more-publisher-friendly-481341 Kochrezepte werden im AI-Mode jetzt noch prominenter dargestellt. Zitat: „we're making updates to better connect people with recipe creators on the web." [4] https://www.seo-suedwest.de/10850-ki-tracking-mit-freesov-die-guenstige-alternative-zu-teuren-ki-tools.html Ein kurzer Hinweis: Mit FreeSOV gibt es ein (nahezu) kostenloses Tool für AI-Tracking – man muss lediglich API-Keys hinterlegen.   Suchergebnisse [5] https://www.seroundtable.com/google-image-search-home-page-gallery-41679.html Die Google Bildersuche hat unlängst einen 25. Geburtstag gefeiert. Im Rahmen der Feierlichkeiten wurde auch ein neues Layout für die Bildersuche vorgestellt, das allerdings zunächst nur in englischer Sprache und für die USA ausgerollt wird.   Tools [6] https://www.seroundtable.com/google-search-console-social-content-performance-41636.html Die neuen Platform Properties in der GSC sind jetzt endlich überall verfügbar. Damit kann man eine Property für den eigenen Kanal auf X, YouTube, TikTok und Instagram anlegen.   Technical SEO [7] https://www.seroundtable.com/google-updates-optimize-your-crawl-budget-41732.html Google hat seine Dokumentation zum Crawl Budget angepasst. Wer sich mehr mit dem Crawl Budget beschäftigen möchte, findet hier wichtige Hinweise – u. a., dass jede neue Website zunächst dasselbe Crawl Budget erhält. Danach wird es angepasst, vor allem durch Website-Größe, Häufigkeit der Änderungen, Seitenqualität und Relevanz. Außerdem gibt es nochmal den wichtigen Hinweis, dass man an der Ladegeschwindigkeit arbeiten soll, um das Crawl Budget besser auszunutzen. [8] https://www.seo-suedwest.de/10892-suchfunktion-auf-websites-kann-laut-google-das-crawl-budget-gefaehrden-und-einfallstor-fuer-spam-sein.html Google weist im Rahmen einer neuen Episode des Podcasts „Search off the Record" darauf hin, dass interne Suchfunktionen in Bezug auf SEO problematisch sein können. Eine Gefahr: Es wird ein Infinite Space geöffnet. Gleichzeitig muss man aber auch wissen, dass das gezielte Öffnen der internen Suche auch durchaus viele Vorteile haben kann. Wer auf Nummer sicher gehen möchte, sollte die Suchfunktion per robots.txt oder noindex sperren, wobei die robots.txt die bessere Lösung wg. des Crawl Budgets ist.   Hinweise [9] https://www.seroundtable.com/google-review-snippets-guidelines-update-41754.html Google hat die Richtlinien für Review Snippets ergänzt und klargestellt, dass Reviews dann nicht per Markup markiert werden sollten, wenn sie nicht echt sind oder finanziell unterstützt wurden.   Daten [10] https://danielstanica.com/posts/Great-Blogging-Collapse Eine Liste von Blogs, die 2022 erfolgreich waren, wurde jetzt nochmal auf den Prüfstand gestellt: Lediglich 21 % der Blogs konnten ihren Traffic ausbauen, während 49 % unter „wiped out" fallen. Spannend ist dabei auch die Verteilung der Kategorien: „Parenting" ist überproportional gut gelaufen, während „Fashion" und „Finance" gewaltige Verluste hatten.

Turnkey Design Talk is back for Season 6!After a short break, I'm kicking off the new season with one of the pricing questions I hear constantly from solo interior designers and decorators: how much should you mark up the products you specify—and should you be passing your trade discount on to your clients?Some designers pass on their entire trade discount. Others retain the retail margin. Others use a standard markup. So which approach is right?In this episode, I break down the difference between trade pricing and markup, why there is no magic percentage every designer should be charging, and why your own profitability should ultimately determine your pricing strategy.I'll also introduce you to Stressed Sally and Calm Claire—two equally talented fictional designers with very different approaches to pricing. Sally changes her markup whenever an expensive item makes her nervous, while Claire establishes a pricing philosophy, applies it consistently and reviews it against the actual profitability of her projects.We cover:Trade pricing vs markup and how they differWhy copying another designer's markup percentage can be a mistakeThe danger of changing your markup based on the price of individual productsWhy consistency can make quoting simpler and increase your confidenceHow your overall project profit margin should inform your pricing decisionsMy own approach to markup and why I currently use a consistent 30% markup on trade pricingThe goal isn't to find the “perfect” markup percentage. It's to create a pricing structure that covers your costs, supports your service and helps you build a profitable, sustainable design business.Download the free Solo Designer Profit Guide:https://www.turnkeydesignsuccess.com/profitguideWelcome back to Season 6 of Turnkey Design Talk.Wondering if you're charging enough?Download my free Solo Designer Profit Guide™ and discover what interior designers are charging in 2026 based on 50+ research interviews across Australia, Canada and the USA.

In the 993rd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow are joined by Phillip "P3" Hellmuth III at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas during the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP). The son of poker legend Phil Hellmuth talks about what it was like growing up with the "Poker Brat" as a dad, but also about his own journey to poker, which started relatively recently after he was laid off from a longtime banking job. Now, Hellmuth III has been busy studying, competing on Hellmuth's Home Game, and doing his best to rack up some results. P3 also talks about his father's controversial decision to encourage him to charge a 1.4 mark-up for the 2026 WSOP Main Event and the subsequent bet with Shaun Deeb. From there, Hellmuth III talks about his brother, Nick Hellmuth, the RunGood Poker Series (RGPS), and plays a round of 'Which Phil Is It?' right in the studio. A new PokerNews Podcast drops four times a week in July! You can expect a new episode every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time.

In this conversation we chat with Julia Angwin — Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, founder of Proof News, and former Wall Street Journal and ProPublica reporter — to make the case that journalism should function more like mathematical proof than anecdote.We cover how Angwin's team at The Markup used a decision-tree model to prove Amazon was favoring its own products in search results by an 8-to-1 margin — a finding the House Antitrust Committee later cited when referring Amazon to the DOJ for possible perjury. We dig into her "ingredients label" approach to reporting at Proof News (hypothesis, sample size, techniques, limitations), the difference between mathematical proof and the scientific method, and why she thinks control over algorithmic media is now the central battleground for authoritarian power. She also unpacks her new book on resisting authoritarianism, built from interviews with dissidents worldwide, including the "Swiss cheese" model of personal security and why perfectionism is dangerous in a crisis.

The House Armed Services Committee spent all of Thursday, June 4th, marking up the National Defense Authorization Act, and what happened inside that room was anything but routine. TCS Policy Analyst Gabe Murphy was there for the debate, and he joins Steve Ellis to break down an unprecedented fight over the Pentagon's $1.14 trillion top line, a bipartisan push on military right to repair that actually passed by voice vote, and a series of amendments on Iran war funding that exposed just how politically charged this budget season has become.

Why Cost Plus 30% Is Quietly Killing Your Profit In this episode of Profit Isn't an Accident, Michelle Lynne tackles one of the most accepted pricing "standards" in the interior design industry: cost plus 30%. And here's the truth most designers never hear: A 30% markup is not the same thing as a 30% profit margin. Michelle breaks down the real math behind procurement, markup vs. margin, and why so many talented design firms are unintentionally underpricing themselves into burnout. If you've ever felt busy but not profitable, this episode explains why. You'll learn how to evaluate your procurement costs, rethink your pricing structure, and start building a business model that actually supports your firm long term. In This Episode, We Cover: Why "cost plus 30%" became the industry norm The difference between markup and profit margin Why a 30% markup only creates a 23% margin The hidden costs of procurement most designers ignore How time, freight, damages, storage, and admin eat into profit Why many design firms are unknowingly subsidizing procurement with design fees What "minimum viable markup" means Why Michelle recommends a minimum 75% markup How vendor relationships can improve your margins Why charging correctly improves the client experience The emotional side of raising prices How pricing acts as a filter for better-fit clients Why profitability creates freedom, flexibility, and sustainability Key Takeaways Procurement Is Not Free Every item you source requires labor, communication, coordination, tracking, problem-solving, and risk management. If your markup does not account for those operational costs, your firm absorbs them. Markup and Margin Are Not the Same A 30% markup does not equal a 30% profit margin. Example: Wholesale Cost: $1,000 Selling Price at 30% Markup: $1,300 Actual Margin: 23% That difference matters more than most designers realize. Design Firms Are Running Two Businesses You are both: A service business (design expertise) A retail business (product procurement and sales) If your product pricing is too low, your design fees end up subsidizing your retail operations. Your Pricing Impacts Your Client Experience Underpricing creates stress, overwhelm, and operational strain. Profitability allows you to: Hire support Improve systems Deliver a better client experience Protect your energy and creativity Michelle's Recommended Pricing Structure Michelle recommends designers move away from cost plus 30% and instead consider: Higher product markups (often 75% minimum) Procurement management fees Passing receiver/storage/delivery costs to clients Stronger vendor relationships to improve buying power Mentioned in This Episode Private coaching through The Design Bakehouse The Profit Mixer procurement and pricing tool Interior Design Business Bakery coaching program Connect with Michelle The Design Bakehouse Website Instagram @thedesignbakehouse Subscribe & Review If this episode helped shift the way you think about pricing and profitability, share it with another designer and leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts.

No locked-in price. No exposure if materials spike or scope grows. But according to the author of Markup and Profits, cost plus contracts end up in lawsuits two to three times more often — and in arbitration nine times more often — than fixed-price contracts. That's not a pricing problem. It's a process problem. In this solo episode of The Construction Leading Edge Podcast, Todd Dawalt breaks down why cost plus contracts are far riskier than most builders realize — and what actually creates that risk. He walks through the hidden traps that turn cost plus jobs sideways: the "just enough to start" trap that lets you move forward without real clarity, the budget heart attack that hits clients at the 60-80% mark, the microscope effect that turns every invoice into a negotiation, and why cost plus limits your upside while doing almost nothing to protect your downside.

This episode of Kilowatt dives into the staggering engineering and questionable economics of BYD's luxury powerhouse, the Denza Z9 GT. Originally born from a partnership with Mercedes-Benz, the Denza brand is now striking out on its own with a 1,140-horsepower "shooting brake" that boasts some of the most advanced chassis tech on the planet. We explore its incredible ability to "crab walk" and pivot, its massive 1.5-megawatt charging capability, and why it might just be the fastest-charging EV in the world. However, the real conversation starts with the sticker shock: why does a car that costs roughly $40,000 in China command a staggering $134,000 price tag in Europe? We break down the impact of EU tariffs, shipping costs, and BYD's aggressive strategy to pivot from a budget brand to a premium Porsche competitor.
