Local SEO August 18, 2026

The business profile when you have no address to show

Hiding an address doesn't delete it, it reclassifies the profile. What Google keeps behind the scenes, what it asks you to film, and the mistake that lets Google pick your area for you.

Tech SEO August 17, 2026

Taking over a WordPress site built by an agency

An admin account is not ownership. Domain, hosting, licences, measurement: four locks, and usually one key handed over.

Behavioural segmentation: stop segmenting on email opens

Apple loads the pixel with nobody opening anything, and France has tied that pixel to consent since March 2026. The signals that stay reliable.

One product listing that holds up on three marketplaces

Amazon allows 200-character titles, eBay 80, the Google feed 150. The four places a listing breaks when it is copy-pasted from one channel to the next.

LOCAL SEO August 4, 2026

"Near me" queries: why your local ranking does not exist

Two people type the same query four kilometres apart and get different results. In local search a position is not a number: it is a surface, and that is what you should be measuring.

ONLINE REPUTATION July 31, 2026

When a review platform outranks you on your own name

Trustpilot, Glassdoor, directories: those pages do not get deleted, and the platforms say so in writing. What actually matters is how many page-one slots you already hold.

Affiliate fraud: spotting a partner that costs you money

Three partners account for 60 % of attributed sales: two coupon sites and one browser extension. The only question that matters: how many of those orders would have happened anyway?

Attribution in 2026: what GA4 can no longer see

Meta says 180, Google Ads 90, GA4 70, the back office 100 actual sales. GA4 keeps only data-driven and last-click; the rest escapes it. Why you triangulate instead of chasing one exact number.

MARKETPLACE 23 July 2026

Selling on multiple marketplaces without cannibalising yourself

Amazon, Cdiscount, ManoMano, your own site: cannibalisation is almost never where it is feared. Cross-channel price, Buy Box, assortment differentiation and net margin per channel.
