I once did an SEO audit using a Playstation 4.

I’m thrilled to announce that I got out of bed successfully today. 

I hope you all have a great day.

Does any other agency want to test this for me in the next month (April). 

I built a client relationship tool that predicts client churn 60/90 days before it could happen based on feeding it my takeaways from over 600 client feedback calls over 10 years.

It then gives you advice on what to do. 

Connects to your domain email, client project management tools and comms channels to produce the below example. 

Drop me a DM if you want to test it.

automate only the skills you are willing to lose.

Google doesn't care about SEOs, publishers and website owners:

They released a spam update and core update within the span of 3 days.

I've been saying this for years, but this further drives home the point. 

Let's stop trying to justify anything they do and defending what they are doing.

Me personally, I could care less about their guidelines when they keep changing the rules of engagement.

The best thing you can do right now. 

If you're already haven't already done so, is build a brand that doesn't depend on Google.

Accept that they will continue to steal your traffic, give you no reparations and never apologize once. 

At this point do you think Google is prioritizing their stock price over UX for their users?

Google represented as a person stepping on the heads of websites, blogs, publishers etc.  

I used to send SEO outreach emails every day.

Most of the time I never got a response.

Back then I assumed the obvious things - bad subject line, weak pitch, or people were just ignoring my emails.

Because I could see people opening them, which made it more confusing.

So I did what most SEOs do.

I started tweaking the copy, testing new subject lines, and personalizing everything even more.

I was sending about 20–30 emails a day using Mailshake, which wasn’t a huge volume.

But the replies still never really came.

Eventually I started noticing a troubling trend appear. 

Some of my emails were landing in promotions or spam.

That’s when I realized something most SEOs don’t think about.

Outreach isn’t just about the email.

It’s about deliverability.

I learned spam filters evaluate things like:

→ sender reputation
→ sending patterns
→ engagement history

So even if the outreach email is good, it doesn’t matter if nobody ever sees it.

A lot of SEOs spend hours perfecting the subject line and body copy.

But ignore the infrastructure behind the email.

If the email lands in spam, the copy is irrelevant.

That experience is what made me start paying a lot more attention to email deliverability.

One platform that focuses specifically on this is Warmy.

They help diagnose sender health and test real inbox placement across providers.

One thing I like is their seedlist testing, which shows where emails actually land (Primary, Promotions, Spam).

That visibility makes it much easier to catch deliverability issues early.
