I saw this wifeframe breakdown on creating a page template to rank on LLMs.

But the most interesting part:

It goes back to "real" page/data quality.

(like SEO teams should be doing)

Ahrefs created this page on:

1. structuring page template for LLMs
2. optimising specific layouts
3. including key data points
4. using originality 
5. using real data

And, cutting fluff to answer intent straight away.

I believe they're launching a blog this week. 

-----

I am still calling it "GOOD SEO".

Which is what's crushing search.

But we can align it and build citable templates for LLM-generated answers.

Or, at least test it.

Have you given a thought to templates?

I don't care if you call it SEO, AEO, GEO, I'm still asking these 41 questions with an eCommerce audit to improve ROI with organic search:

I don't want issues that won't move the needle.

We need to find what DOES move the needle.

Here are the 41 "ROI" key points I will be reviewing:

(With a focus on themed clustering for traffic)

1. is the topical architecture helping or hurting?
2. are key product pages buried?
3. how does the product catalogue look?
4. is internal linking distribution doing its job?
5. is the navigation working for users and crawlers?
6. are “money” pages crawlable?
7. is link equity leaking instead of helping?
8. are search pages bloating the index?
9. are they missing easy wins on query targeting?
10. are commercial pages too deep in the structure?
11. is trending product/commerce data used?
12. is crawl budget being wasted?
13. is external link equity being leveraged?
14. is the silo structure relevant and strong?
15. are templates consistent and optimised?
16. are funnel templates helping conversion + crawl?
17. are parameters causing crawl chaos?
18. are customer segments used for site structure?
19. will revenue stay flat due to IA issues?
20. are canonicals clean or a mess?
21. are pages actually matching SERP intent?
22. is domain authority used strategically?
23. is traffic stagnating due to the architecture?
24. are clusters/theming working?
25. are blogs working entry points or fluff?
26. how is their seasonal content and navigation plan?
27. are out-of-stock products appropriately handled?
28. is pagination creating crawl inefficiencies?
29. are H1s and titles supporting the page’s topical role?
30. is UX messing with SEO (e.g. JS rendering)?
31. are internal searches used for the content strategy?
32. are brand/non-brand keyword strategies used?
33. is social proof being used on-page and off-page?
34. is the merchant feed optimised for shopping?
35. are attributes used?
36. how is content distributed?
37. how is the brand, "branding"?
38. who in the team is doing what?
39. why has SEO not worked previously?
40. can your team act fast?
41. is your ICP understood across SKU themese?

Also.

Can Google/LLMs crawl your pages?

Can we build on the 10% of your Shopify product catalogue that drives profits?

This is a manual audit, no PDF export, and it's an audit workflow I've built over the years.

No large eCom site has a perfect health score.

But we can segment changes for traffic/conversion growth.

Adding to this list?

I can't believe I almost got kicked out of Dubai 3 weeks ago, here’s what happened:

Day 1 landing, we all got Covid.

I was running off 7% health battery. 

That was for like 9 days. 

My 2 year old was so ill. 

My wife was a rock for us. 

I also had to keep helping clients. 

And I kept posting on Linkedin. 

Had to take calls. 

Anyway.

My wife fails her medical. 

Disaster. 

£35,000 wasted if she doesn’t pass. 

And a prompt flight back to the UK. 

5 days we waited. 

Our lives on hold. 

My wife visited the the doctors at least 3 times. 

(It was almost a 2 hour round trip)

Literally mental torture. 

Our visa company just apologised and said there’s nothing they can do and we need to sit tight. 

So we did. 

Days went by. 

Sould crushing.

Then.

GOOD NEWS. 

The email comes in, you’ve passed. 

The last 3 weeks had real lows. 

We almost called it a day. 

But, it was also filled with highs when the news came in. 

I suppose leaving your comfort zone (migrating) was never going to be easy.

Or everyone would do it?

P.S everything now is going so well, routine is in, and I’m mega happy for my little family.

I guarantee most eCom brands are NOT speaking Google's language and handling how Google is crawling your store:

Spending $$$ on backlinks won't save a sinking ship:

(common eCom errors)

- JS crawling errors (common)
- 301 & 302 redirects scaling
- 404 errors growing rapidly
- server errors (5xx)
- HTML issues

I get it.

You have 1000's of SKUs.

Products are being deleted. Made out of stock. Redirected to new SKUs.

This causes a disaster for crawlers, and it compounds.

Don't ignore your tech SEO data.

Try this instead.

Ask your SEO team to track and monitor.

Not every technical SEO fix will move the needle.

But, fix key problems.

A good SEO will help Google crawl, render and rank your pages.

(Other LLMs will thank you for it too.)

Try understanding how Google is crawling your eCommerce store. 

It's hard to rank what it can't crawl.

P.S. The Image is an example of Search Console data and areas you should be looking out for and tracking.

Shopify SEO: I see so many merchants wasting 6-figures yearly on SEO. But here's the secret:

You CAN be pulling levers that move the needle.

Your Shopify SEO is to send customers to your product catalogue.

A blended goal for your Shopify SEO campaign can be:

(Black Friday season is HUGE!)

- work on SEO for 6 -12 months
- see a 17% uplift in non-branded clicks
- then a 28% uplift MoM in clicks
- push for a 52% YoY rise in clicks
- increase conversion rate (CRO) by 2%

See profit growth.

What can you do over the next 90 days?

I would 100% segment your collections.

I would be working on your taxonomy.

I would clean crawling issues.

I would create new BoFu pages.

I would be improving the hierarchy.

I would improve schema & PDP attributes.

I would create supporting content (niche-dependent)

These changes compound.

Traffic sticks. Conversions rise. SEO becomes a revenue channel (not a checkbox).

TAM is limited.

Don't waste it.

Is too much marketing budget wasted?

Ecommerce research: Wow this study analysed 2,500 product prompts and found a $trillion-dollar brand doesn't = best visibility in AI search:

But being the biggest brand means crushing AI search, right?

NOPE.

I love understanding how AI is featuring eCom brands.

Scaling a $2 trillion in market value doesn't mean you will win in AI.

Here's some context around the product study:

- 2,500 product prompts analysed in study
- audit on ChatGPT and Google AI Mode
- focused on 5 verticals including fashion
- Amazon powers 35% of ChatGPT prompts
- Amazon powers 20% in Google AI
- Amazon rarely mentioned by name
- Etsy has top Share of Voice
- Etsy mentioned more than Amazon
- October: Etsy SOV spikes sharply
- marketplaces used mostly for pricing data
- LLMs mention brands, not just sources

So it's not just the source of product data for AI.

But who gets mentioned for the prompt.

What I'm looking at for clients:

- product pages LLMs can parse easily
- mentions in trusted sources (not just listings)
- UGC/reviews to help your brand
- data accuracy across the web

Because in AI search, being the source doesn’t guarantee visibility.

You need to be the one who gets named.

But this is POWERED from GOOD SEO.

5 LinkedIn content frameworks to build trust, fast!

(that the algorithm loves and promotes! 😍)

5 LI Posts to Build Trust, Fast

Everyone's obsessing over AEO optimization. Meanwhile, they're ignoring what actually gets cited:

→ Original research and proprietary data 
→ Strong POV backed by experience 
→ Depth and relevancy 

But some are treating AEO like it's SEO back in 2012. 

“Let’s crack this.” 
“Just follow this checklist.”

But ChatGPT and Claude don’t cite "optimized for AEO."

Sure, you might game your way into AI citations for a bit. But (thankfully), it will evolve to prioritize what buyers already trust:

- Content that sales teams send to prospects
- ⁠Content that gets shared in internal Slack channels
- ⁠Content that shows up in buying conversations
- ⁠Content that influences deals and stakeholders 

That's what gets indexed.

You can't optimize your way into trust. But build trust, and optimization takes care of itself.

My client's LinkedIn video got 110,000+ impressions... but we're NOT doubling down on video.

Look, LinkedIn video is growing at 2x the rate of other post formats (the LinkedIn CMO said it herself). Every platform does this – launch feature, boost engagement, create FOMO.

Recently, we posted a video that reached 110,000+ impressions in just a few hours.

But we’re not pivoting our entire strategy to video.

Here's why:

01/ Massive distribution ≠ right distribution.

110k impressions sounds impressive until you look at who actually saw it. Video gets pushed to broader, colder audiences. I’ve seen this pattern with dozens of clients - huge impression spikes that hardly move the needle on pipeline.

02/ Impressions ≠ views.

For video, views should be the primary metric, not impressions. There's a reason YouTube prioritizes view count.

03/ It creates false benchmarks. 

When one video hits 110k, you start expecting that performance every time. But organic content doesn't work that way.

04/ Pipeline influence >>> vanity metrics. 

This client's brand has influenced $10M+ in enterprise deals over the last 6 months with FAR fewer impressions on average posts.

91% of buyers coming to a sales meeting are already familiar with your company (Wynter, 2025).

Brand + content + trust + right audience = 
make it to their vendor shortlist. 
 
We're not changing our strategy… this 110k+ video is just another content asset working with our strategy.
