- [Being Selected: The New Way to Think About Search Visibility](https://linksandmaria.com/blog/being-selected-ai-search/): When I started to rebrand as Linksandmaria, I would on a regular basis go into ChatGPT and check how it described me. For quite a while, “Linskandmaria” was a school in London which I always thought was quite amusing. 
- [Why AI Search Is Forcing Businesses To Build Real Brands](https://linksandmaria.com/blog/ai-search-real-brands/): Different dimensions. Different Rules. SEO is now part of a much larger ecosystem, which means you need to show up in more places than just your website. Youtube, Instagram, Reddit, Tiktok, relevant crossover industry websites - depending on where your audience is and where they are paying attention.
- [Authority Isn’t Built With Volume. It’s Built With the Right Plants](https://linksandmaria.com/blog/becoming-one-of-the-chosen/): You need a lot of backlinks  - the more, the better. Authority Rating and Domain Rating are key indicators of what makes a good website to get a backlink from. Low-quality blog networks and link farms are maybe not ideal, but hey, you get the backlink.
- [What Still Matters in Link Building (A Podcast Reflection)](https://linksandmaria.com/blog/link-building-seo-acupuncturists-podcast/): Some time ago, I had a conversation on the Acupuncture Marketing School Podcast with Michelle Grasek about link building and SEO for acupuncturists.

- [How to Use AI for Smarter Outreach](https://linksandmaria.com/blog/how-to-use-ai-for-smarter-outreach/): Smarter outreach, for me, starts with a time limit. Five minutes. That’s all I allow per outreach - especially when I have never contacted the person before.  
- [The Right Soil for SEO Growth: A Guide to Natural Link Building](https://linksandmaria.com/blog/natural-link-building-guide/): Yes, natural link building takes time. But if you want to be in the driver’s seat in your niche, you can’t fall for shady SEO tactics, unethical practice, or “hacks”. 
- [Stand Out When Building Your Brand: Be Bold, Be Quirky](https://linksandmaria.com/blog/how-to-stand-out-when-building-a-brand/): Another way to stand out while building your brand is to show behind-the-scenes content, include humour or even show when something didn’t go the way it was supposed to.
- [8 Tips for Female Business Owners](https://linksandmaria.com/blog/8-tips-for-female-business-owners/): Are you, just like me, a confused but driven female business owner? So many times have I googled “tips for female business owners” and the results were just all over the place.

- [Why Link Building Matters for Your Business](https://linksandmaria.com/blog/why-link-building-matters-for-your-business/): It’s easy to get lost in a technical maze when we are talking about link building. For me, link building is more about the relationship between your business and another business. Sometimes, I jokingly say “you get the best links when you don’t think about links”.
- [On-Page SEO Before Backlinks](https://linksandmaria.com/blog/on-page-seo-tips-before-building-backlinks/): If you want more conversions from your website, it’s easy to think building backlinks straight away is the solution when things aren’t taking off as expected.

SEO looks very different just from a couple of years ago. With AI entering the picture and people using Youtube ChatGPT, Instagram, Tiktok etc to gather information before making decisions.
