@lilyraynyc @jgeekseo Hmmm. I use the Anthropic API a lot my dashboard shows web search at 0, even though I know I've asked it to search the web many a time. Maybe LLM web search is tracked differently or retrieval mechanism might be different or my dashboard is broken idk?

Lol Searching google for is Google down, when google is down. - You did it too!

@CyrusShepard Sort of c. But really is it more so an incomplete picture.. unreliable in isolation perhaps. Interpreting stats like that... still a little art and science? As long as u compare 🍎 with 🍎, it gives u a signal, a basis to make an educated assumptions.

@gaganghotra_ I needed to hear this.. ive felt it for sure... like I have to offer more for less just to compete, while bigger agencies bolt on SEO just to fill meta fields. No positioning, architecture, strategy. The gap is maybe an oprtunity for me tho now u point that out.

@gaganghotra_ @boshify That graph is kinda superficial on its own.. idk about the content quality or the read experience but the graph might be partially reflective of zero click.. and miggt tell a better story along side what AI mention and enagement they are also getting.. just a thought

@lilyraynyc That august/sept dip screams at me.. cobblers shoes tho

I dont like messages like "you are approaching your limits" I'm not even half way to reaching my potential! and I wont be limited claude!

@JulianGoldieSEO I know right, i just installed it omg!

@aryanlabde spend money to make money..... need money to spend money.

@CinematicUni96 @lilyraynyc Thanks for that! I'm just about to start a major refactor and been getting all my implementation docs up to scratch first. I will try Opus 4.5 looks like its only jut come out last month! cool

Been Using Claude a lot, Why does ChatGPT frustrate me so much. I feel like Claude just "gets me" ...while explaining what I need from chatGPT occasionally takes me a few goes now. wasn't like that before... Anyone else feel this?

I'm building a Claude skill library of my WP tech stack - Anyone else doing this From Server to Front end?

Srba et al. (ACM 2025) suggests LLMs judge credibility by aggregating tiny "trust markers"... but there’s still no framework tying them together. What if we built one? A Proof Library for AI trust. 🤔 🔗bweb1.com.au/prooflibrary

@CinematicUni96 @lilyraynyc OMG, I just got Cursor using w/sonnet today, and I'm having the exact same moment! 🤯 Just the documentation before coding so far and I’m like what the f, why wasn't I using this before? ...knowing now...what you didn't know... is frustrating and exciting at the same time.

@lilyraynyc Smart move! Take it further... ask the LLM to refactor your CSS too. I went from 400 lines down to like 85 on one site by having it consolidate duplicates, optimize selectors, and minify intelligently. Same output, cleaner codebase and I learned some new tricks too.

Why am I only just finding out and using cursor.com now - OMG I wish I had this 3 months ago!

The data doesn't lie. SEO is changing. youtube.com/shorts/MoIVVu9… via @YouTube

Been building Content Architecture OS and Authority-Led Topic Cluster Framework around 'what do you want to be known for?' SEO tools are finally catching up AI citation tracking APIs just dropped. Can't wait to integrate this.

The Pattern: Try 1-2 obvious fixes (5-10 min) ↓ Still broken? ↓ Add comprehensive logging (15 min) ↓ Find root cause from logs (5 min) ↓ Fix actual problem (5 min) Much faster than guessing for hours! 🎯

DEV Learning - Add detailed logging immediately when: Something doesn't work as expected You can't see what's happening internally You've tried 1-2 obvious fixes without success
