"SEO is dead"… or so they keep telling us. 💀

We've heard it since AI search took off. Sure, things have changed. AI Overviews, Google's AI Mode, voice assistants, and everyone's favorite pet LLM are all new ways for customers to find you. The playbook looks different.

But our clients keep getting found, getting leads, and getting on with their day. SEO isn't dead. Here's what we're actually seeing in the age of AI-powered search. 🔎

Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas finally received word of their freedom more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Today, we join others in honoring that history and the significance it still carries today. Our office will be closed in observance of the holiday.

If your latest traffic report made you want to draft a strongly worded email to your SEO team — just chill. You're probably focusing on the wrong metrics.

Organic clicks are down across almost every industry in 2026. 📉 It's not because your SEO is doing anything wrong. It's because Google's AI Overviews are answering the question before users ever click. The report looks scary. The story underneath it might actually be good.

There's something about being from a place that shapes how you do everything else. For us, that place is Springfield. The coffee shops we keep going back to (don’t @ us about the caffeine addiction, okay?), the neighbors who became clients, the streets we know by heart. ☕🫶
