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.

CEO & Founder

After 15 years of growing my business, I realised something FUNDAMENTAL was missing.

Our unique culture and innovative ways of managing our people has always been a TOP priority for me.

So much so, I have never found the perfect software platform to manage our people operations and help my team remove the day-to-day noise so they can focus on our mission.

Then, one day, it struck me: I NEED to create this myself to help other businesses!!

And so, Ware was born.

Launching in 2025, Ware promises to transform how you build your culture and genuinely empower your team.

Ware. Everything is.

Confidence in leadership isn’t about always having the answer
 
It’s about this 👇
 
Trusting yourself to figure things out - even when nothing feels certain.
 
Too many leaders think they need to seem perfect.
But that’s not where respect comes from.
 
Respect comes from how you handle pressure.
From how you respond when things go wrong.
 
The best leaders?
 
→ They ask for help.
→ They admit when they’re unsure.
→ They build teams that challenge their thinking.
 
So if you want to lead with confidence, try this:
 
1) Listen more than you speak.
2) Let your actions do the talking.
3) Be willing to be wrong - honesty builds trust.
4) Surround yourself with strong, honest voices.
5) Stand by your decisions, especially the tough ones.
6) Trust yourself to figure it out - not to have it all figured out.
 
You don’t need to feel “ready.”
 
You just need to trust that you’ll handle what comes next.

Confidence is knowing you'll figure it out, not knowing all the answers. Rob Dance.

Many leaders forget this
 
(Don’t make the same mistake)
 
How you treat people always comes back around.
 
Thanks to my friend Justin Wright for this one!
 
What matters is what actually sticks:
 
→ How you made them feel.
→ Whether you showed respect.
→ If you chose kindness when you didn’t have to.
 
Respect doesn’t cost a thing.
 
And investing in people?
 
It always pays off, even if the return takes time.
 
So, treat people well.
 
Because some doors won’t open because of your CV.
 
They open because someone remembered how you treated them.
 
That’s the kind of investment that lasts.
 
Do you agree?

Treat people well. It's the only investment that never loses value. Justin Wright and Rob Dance.

The biggest moments in your career?
 
They’ll happen when you're not even in the room.
 
Thanks to my friend Justin Wright for this one!
 
→ A job offer.
→ A promotion.
→ A partnership.
 
Your name will come up, and you won’t even know it.
And that’s why it matters who’s speaking on your behalf.
 
Not because they have to.
But because they want to.
 
They’ve seen:
 
→ Your work.
→ Your potential.
→ Your character.
 
And they’re willing to vouch for it.
 
It’s not about networking.
 
It’s about building relationships with people who want to see you win.
 
And if that’s the kind of support you want…
 
Start by being that kind of support for someone else.

Here’s something I’ve learned from hiring over the years:

(Don’t miss this)

Grit beats talent when talent gets tired.

The best hires aren’t always the flashiest CVs or the smoothest interviews.

They’re the ones who keep showing up, especially when:

→ They hit setbacks
→ They’re under pressure
→ They’re doubting themselves

Because that consistency?
That resilience?

It’s what sets them apart.

Anyone can shine when things go smoothly.
But I look for the ones who keep going when things fall apart.

They might not make the loudest entrance.

But they’ll be the reason the team keeps moving forward.

Changing jobs doesn’t make you unstable.
 
(Despite what they say)
 
Thanks to my friend Dora for this one!
 
It means you’re paying attention:
 
- To your future.
- To your growth.
- To what really matters.
 
So stop confusing stability with success.

Staying in the same place isn’t always the smart move.
 
And if your job no longer:

→ Inspires you
→ Respects you
→ Challenges you
 
Then it’s not helping you grow.
 
And if it’s not helping you grow?
 
It’s time to go.

Changing jobs isn’t a sign of instability. It’s a sign you’re ready for more. Let’s normalise chasing potential, not comfort. Rob Dance and Dora Vanourek.

A reminder for anyone who needs it:
 
(You deserve better)
 
Stop giving 100% to companies that treat you like you're replaceable.
 
If you're always: 
 
- Staying late
- Pushing hard
- Hitting targets
 
And you’re still getting ignored - it's not your fault. 
 
You're not unmotivated. 
You're undervalued.
 
A company that appreciates you will show it. They’ll:
 
1) Recognise your contributions and effort.
2) Listen to your concerns and act on them.
3) Respect your boundaries and work-life balance.
4) Promote from within instead of overlooking internal talent.
5) Support your career growth with training and opportunities.
6) Make staying feel like the right choice, not your only choice.
7) Pay you what you’re worth, not what they can get away with.
 
Loyalty is a two-way street. 
 
If they can't meet you halfway, don’t feel guilty for pulling back. 
 
Protect your energy. 
Know your worth. 
 
The right workplace won’t make you question it.

Stope giving 100% to people who give you 10% - Rob Dance

The biggest shift in my life came from one simple lesson:
 
(I wish I learnt this sooner)
 
Stop choosing what doesn’t choose you.
 
I used to invest so much into:
 
- Jobs
- People
- Projects
 
And got nothing back.
 
I told myself it was normal.

That patience would fix it.
That effort would be enough.
 
But when you’re the only one trying?
 
That’s not a connection.
It’s a transaction.
 
And it drains you.
 
So, choose what shows up for you.
 
Let everything else go.
 
Do you agree?

Rob Dance talking about choosing yourself. 

Toxic leaders will never celebrate you.

Not because you failed them…

But because your growth challenges their comfort.

Why? 

→ You stopped playing by their rules
→ You stopped needing their approval
→ You stopped shrinking to make them feel big

You became independent.
And to them, that’s a threat.

So they distance themselves.

Twist your growth into betrayal.

But let them.

You didn’t grow to be liked.
You grew to lead yourself.

Do you agree?
 
♻️ More people need to see this, share it with your network!

Silence isn’t neutral.

Inaction isn’t passive.
 
When leaders stay quiet or do nothing, they’re still sending a message.

And the team?
They notice.
 
- They feel alone.
- They start guessing.
- They assume the worst.
 
Because that silence? It doesn’t stay still.

It builds uncertainty, tension, and doubt.
 
That’s how leaders lose trust.
 
Not because they chose wrong.
But because they chose nothing at all.
 
So if you’re a leader, remember:
 
Dodging hard conversations doesn’t protect anyone.
 
It just leaves more room for damage.

Being the least experienced person in the room doesn’t feel great.
 
(We’ve all been there)
 
You notice every gap in your knowledge.
 
You feel like you’re playing catch-up while everyone else is miles ahead.
 
But that’s exactly where growth happens.
 
You see how others:
 
- Think.
- Decide.
- Carry themselves.
 
And without even realising it, you adapt.
 
As Dan says, growth doesn’t come from staying comfortable.
 
It comes from putting yourself in rooms that challenge you.
 
So keep showing up.

Working with people smarter than you isn't a threat.

It's the fastest way to grow. 

Dan Murray and Rob Dance.

I’ve seen it too many times.
 
Managers who:
 
- Only remember your name when they need something.
- Only praise you when it serves them.
 
That’s not appreciation.
That’s manipulation.
 
And you deserve better.
 
A real leader doesn’t just show up when they want to look good.
 
They show up in the quiet moments too.
 
So here’s 11 signs your leader genuinely values you:
 
1) They protect your time.
2) They give credit openly.
3) They listen - really listen.
4) They celebrate your wins.
5) They ask for your opinion.
6) They invest in your growth.
7) They say thank you - often.
8) They trust you to do your job.
9) They check in without an agenda.
10) They back you up in tough moments.
11) They make you feel safe to speak up.
 
If your manager only values you when it benefits them - it’s not respect.
It’s strategy.
 
You’re not just a resource.
You’re a person.

And you should be treated like one, every single day.
 
Do you agree?

You deserve a manager who values you every day, not just when there's something they want. Rob Dance.

Here’s something I’ve learned the hard way: 
 
(Many figure this out too late)
 
Not everyone clapping for you is in your corner. 
 
Some will smile in your face.
But when you’re not in the room, they say nothing.
 
That’s why it matters who you work with.
 
You have to choose leaders who don’t just value your results…
But stand up for you when it matters most.
 
The kind who:

→ Call out lies
→ Shut down gossip
→ Speak up when you’re being misrepresented
→ Defend you because they know your character
 
That kind of loyalty is rare.
But when you find it, hold onto it. 
 
Because if no one’s watching your back, you’re in the wrong room.

Work for people who protect your name in their absence. Rob Dance

Let’s be real:
 
If you're still holding on to how things used to be…
 
You're standing in the way of what’s trying to come next.
 
- The job that drained you?
- The manager who overlooked you?
- The project where you gave your all and still got pushed aside?
 
That’s behind you now.
 
And carrying it into your next role won’t protect you.
 
It’ll only hold you back.
 
New opportunities need a clear head.
Not one clouded by fear or resentment.
 
So show up like you belong.

Not like you're still trying to prove something.
 
That’s how you move forward.

Rob Dance talking about letting go of the past. 

I’ve seen it too many times.
 
People chasing leadership roles…
 
Not to serve.
Not to support.

But to feel important.
 
And that’s not leadership.
That’s insecurity in a suit.
 
We don’t need more titles.

We need integrity.
 
Because real leaders:
 
1) Take the blame, share the credit
They don’t hide from mistakes or hog the spotlight.
 
2) Listen more than they speak
Not to reply - but to understand.
 
3) Step into the fire
Even when it's hard. Especially when it's hard.
 
4) Walk the talk
Because trust isn’t built on words. It’s built on actions.
 
5) Raise others up
Even if it means stepping aside.
 
6) Park the ego
It’s not about being right. It’s about doing right.
 
7) Speak with honesty and clarity
Truth matters more than comfort.
 
8) Stay calm under pressure
When everything falls apart. They don’t.
 
You don’t need to be in charge to lead.
 
You just need the courage to care.

Some people want to lead because their ego requires it, and that is why they are unfit to lead. Rob Dance.

Let’s be honest:
 
Once is enough.
 
When a workplace shows you who they are, believe it the first time.
 
Not on the second slip-up.
Not after the third red flag.
 
Because the last thing you need is more:
 
→ Disrespect
→ Dishonesty
→ Disregard
 
Yet, we still make excuses:
 
- “Maybe they didn’t mean it.”
- “Maybe I’m being too sensitive.”
- “Maybe it was just a stressful week.”
 
But deep down, you know.
It wasn’t a one-off.

It was the culture speaking loud and clear.
 
So don’t wait around hoping it’ll get better.

Workplaces don’t change just because you want them to.

Rob Dance talking about showing true colours. 

The best leadership advice?
 
Stop pretending people don’t know better.
 
They know:
 
- What’s expected.
- When they’re dropping the ball.
- When they’re giving the bare minimum.
 
So let’s stop making excuses.
 
Leadership isn’t about carrying others.
It’s about protecting the standard.
 
People will test boundaries.
 
That’s normal.
 
But it’s your responsibility to draw the line - and hold it.
 
So if someone won’t own their role, it’s not your job to fix them.
 
It’s your job to stop shielding them.

The best way to ruin your team

(Without any help)

As George Stern says, you’re hiring people, not paper.

When you obsess over CVs…

You’ll miss the real talent standing right in front of you.

- A can-do attitude
- The hunger to learn
- Grit to push through

That’s what makes a team stronger.
 
Not a degree from 15 years ago.
Not a list of jobs that prove nothing today.
 
Because a CV won’t go the extra mile.
And diploma won’t care about the outcome.
 
But the right person will.

And your team’s success depends on spotting them.

Here’s a reminder for anyone hiring:
 
(From years of experience)
 
Don’t just look at polished CVs.

Look for people who've faced tough moments, and learned from them.
 
Because setbacks aren’t just bad luck.

They’re signals to:
 
- Slow down
- Look deeper
- Fix what’s broken
 
You want the candidates who get that.
 
The ones who don’t fall apart when things go wrong.
But figure out how to grow through it.
 
So look for people who:

→ Solve problems before they explode.
→ Stay calm when things go sideways.
→ Quietly prevent disasters you would never even saw coming.
 
The signs are always there.
 
And the best candidates?
 
They pay attention. They adapt. They improve.
 
Hire for that.

Switching your mentality from “Why is this happening to me” to “What is this trying to teach me” is a game-changer. Rob Dance

Changing jobs isn’t always about the title or the pay.

Sometimes?

It’s just about feeling like yourself again.

And that shift doesn’t always come from a big leap.
It often starts small:

→ Sending out your CV
→ Saying yes to a conversation
→ Admitting something feels off

It might feel awkward or uncomfortable.
But it’s a start.

So if your job doesn’t feel right, don’t wait for the stars to align.
Start now.
Start small.
It might be the only step you need.

Most people forget this:
 
Office drama isn’t just a distraction…
 
It’s a dead end.
 
People will gossip.

- They’ll twist the truth.
- They’ll try to pull you in.
 
Don’t let them.
 
You can’t lead if you’re adding fuel to the fire.
You won’t build trust by whispering behind backs.
 
Every second lost to drama is a second stolen from your growth.
 
And if you don’t have the full picture, your choices won’t be smart - or fair.
 
So next time it shows up, ask yourself:
 
→ Will this help me grow?
→ Will it make me better?
 
If the answer’s no, walk away.
 
Silence isn’t weakness.
 
It’s discipline.
