On its face, ChatGPT is a chatbot. Give it any text prompt - a question, statement, challenge - and it will generate a response ranging from a sentence, to a paragraph, to computer code. Under the hood, ChatGPT is a Large Language Model (LLM). The core is a massive text dataset, a big bunch of words. ChatGPT uses this massive text dataset to predict what the next sequence of words will be in a given context.

Facebook engagement -likes, comments, shares, and other interactions -is vital because it directly affects the organic reach of posts. When users engage with content, Facebook's algorithm interprets that engagement as valuable, boosting its visibility to a wider audience. Higher engagement also fosters community building, strengthens brand affinity, and increases the likelihood that posts will appear in users' newsfeeds. A robust social media strategy involves prioritizing genuine interactions to sustain long-term audience growth and trust.

Over recent years it feels like the evolution of technology has increased in speed. The way we consume media has changed and video is spearheading the charge. Being able to stream movies and TV shows, capture and upload imagery straight to your social channels within seconds, and produce high-quality content using cost-effective tools is making video production accessible to the masses.

If you covered up your name and profile picture on LinkedIn, would your dream client still know that post was written by you? The LinkedIn feed is overrun with AI-generated posts, regurgitated quotes, and surface-level advice that sounds like everyone else. Your ideal clients scroll past dozens of posts every day, glazed eyes searching for something real, something that actually helps them solve their problems.

Live video has quickly become one of the most powerful ways for businesses to connect with audiences, build trust and showcase the people behind the brand. Yet for many business owners, it's also one of the trickiest formats to get right. The camera captures everything-not only confidence, clarity and culture, but also hesitation, over-preparation and mixed messaging. The difference between a live video that inspires and one that falls flat often comes down to avoidable missteps,

Jenny Meassick is the Chief Marketing Officer at Socium Advisors. Over the past few years, content has become a cornerstone of the modern marketing strategy. The role of content is twofold: unifying campaigns across channels, from social media to email newsletters, and establishing a cohesive brand narrative that allows audiences to recognize your company's tone, values and voice. Selling a product is one thing, but selling an idea and trust is another entirely.

Authority is currency. Without it, you chase clients instead of attracting them. Without it, you're invisible while others get attention. Stop waiting for recognition. Manufacture it. Engineer the exact perception you want people to have when they hear your name. Establishing yourself as the go-to expert in your field is simpler than you think. ChatGPT can help with the right prompting. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.

For decades, a great reputation was built by word-of-mouth, a fleet of clean trucks, and an ad in the local phone book. But today, the "town square" where your reputation is built and discussed has moved online. Your potential customers are on social media every single day, and if you're not there to be a part of the conversation, you are invisible. This is where a smart, local social media strategy becomes your most powerful asset.

You had the perfect story idea, a limited-time offer, and your audience was active. But by the time you posted, half your viewers had logged off. That timing gap? It's where opportunities quietly disappear-unless you schedule Instagram stories ahead to match peak audience activity. Instagram Stories are essential in driving engagement and conversions, but only if your content shows up when your target audience is all logged in and active.

Most people jump right in. They choose a theme, browse around for awesome plugins, set up Mailchimp and do all this other... stuff, before they sit down and think it through. I've learned that when you do this, it's easy to end up with a really pretty blog....with very few readers. When I joined Canva a couple months ago,instead of writing a word or improving the blog's design, I spent the first month simply building a strategy.

Google EEAT stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness, and refers to a set of signals used to assess a website's content. Google sets these signals to ensure it promotes only the best and most credible content, especially in niches that are either connected to people's well-being or require special knowledge.

Small businesses are no longer trying to rank solely on Google search results with SEO. AEO is now part of the picture, too, and ranking on Google's AI overviews and the search results of LLMs (like ChatGPT and Perplexity) should also now be a goal for businesses. A recent study from Semrush found that Reddit is one of the top two domains from which Google pulls its AI overviews (second behind Quora).
