Hey Guys,

The internet marketing game just hit the reset button, and most people are still playing by the old rules.

While everyone's arguing about keyword density and backlink counts, a small group of marketers figured out something incredible: how to trick ChatGPT into recommending their products exclusively, how to build live business websites with a single prompt, and how to capture traffic for 10 cents when everyone else is paying $5.

But here's the catch - if you're still using those "Minimalist" or "Storytelling" SEO techniques from two years ago, the latest AI models are actually penalizing your rankings right now.

In this edition, I'm breaking down the exact "Golden Formula" for 2026 rankings, the hidden "Local Guide" hack for Google Maps, and the secret listicle strategy that's driving 2,000+ clicks in under 60 days.

➡️ Your Complete Implementation Guide

Before we dive into the strategies, I need to tell you about something that's going to make this edition 10x more valuable for you.

I've created a complete implementation package in a separate Google Doc that includes detailed breakdowns for every single strategy in today's newsletter. We're talking:

4-paragraph deep-dive summaries that explain exactly what each strategy does and why it works

25 key takeaways extracted from each video so you can scan and find exactly what you need

Step-by-step implementation checklists that walk you through executing each strategy from start to finish

This isn't just theory - these are complete action plans you can follow today.

🚨 URGENT: Is ChatGPT Recommending Your Competitors Instead of You?

I started to build out some free tools to use as lead magnets.

Here's the first one.

Inspired by Matt Diggity post a few days ago.

Here's a snippet from Matt's post…

"Most businesses accidentally block AI bots without realizing it.

Check your robots.txt file right now. Make sure you're not blocking ChatGPTbot or OAI-SearchBot.

Many security tools started automatically blocking these in July 2025. Your site could be invisible to AI without you knowing."

Free tool i built

🤖 AI Bot Checker - Free Tool

👉 https://aibotchecker.site

What it does:

* Scans your robots.txt

* Checks 35+ AI crawlers

* Shows what's blocked vs. allowed

* Tells you EXACTLY how to fix it

The results? Eye-opening.

Big brands ARE accidentally blocking AI.

Meanwhile, competitors who allow it are getting all the AI traffic

This is lead gen gold for anyone in:

- Local services

- B2B SaaS

- E-commerce

- Professional services

Try it + let me know what you find 👇

(P.S. This is the first of several free marketing tools I'm building. Keep an eye on the newsletter, we will add a new one weekly,
or
join the WhatsApp group for a free Daily Tool for the next 30 days!)

Want the Unfair Advantage?

If you're serious about staying ahead of the curve (instead of constantly playing catch-up), you need more than just intel. You need:

The marketers making serious money aren't just reading about these strategies – they're implementing them with proven systems that actually work.

Ready to Take Action?

Look, you've got two choices here.

You can bookmark this newsletter and tell yourself you'll come back to it later (we both know how that usually goes), or you can pick ONE strategy from this list and implement it today.

The marketers who win in 2026 aren't the ones with the most knowledge - they're the ones who execute fastest.

While your competitors are still planning and strategizing, you can have a live Money Page ranking on ChatGPT, a local directory generating leads, or an advertorial campaign running at 10-cent clicks.

Speed wins. Always has, always will.
