"Discovered" vs "Crawled – currently not indexed" need opposite fixes
Two Search Console statuses get mixed up all the time, and treating one like the other wastes weeks.
Discovered – currently not indexed. Google knows the URL but hasn't fetched it yet. Nothing has judged your content. Fix the priority: link to the page from your strongest indexed pages, keep it in a clean sitemap, and request indexing once.
Crawled – currently not indexed. Google fetched the page, read it, and decided not to index it. Requesting indexing again won't change that. Fix the page: merge near-duplicates, make it the clear best answer for one search intent, link to it internally, then request once.
Quick tell: if you re-request indexing for the same unchanged page every day, you're treating a quality verdict like a queue problem.

3 Page landing btw. Somehow ended up with dark versions, light versions, a whole DS and like 6 card explorations.
Is this overexploring or is this just the job? Genuinely asking. 🧠
Haha this is just the job! That rabbit hole from 3 pages to full DS + light/dark + 6 card explorations is so real.
Means you care about the system, not just screens. Overexploring today saves rebuilding tomorrow. Looks like a solid exploration btw!
SEO, AEO & GEO Content Strategy | Search Visibility That Drives Growth
Search is evolving, and content needs to do more than rank on Google. It needs to answer questions, build authority, and make brands discoverable across traditional search engines and AI-powered platforms.
This portfolio showcases my approach to creating search-focused content that combines Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) to help businesses strengthen their online visibility.
What I focus on:
SEO: Keyword research, search intent, on-page optimization, and content structured to improve organic visibility.
AEO: Clear, answer-focused content designed to address user questions and improve eligibility for featured snippets and answer-based search results.
GEO: Helpful, authoritative, well-structured content designed to improve a brand’s chances of being referenced in AI-generated responses.
Content Strategy: Creating valuable, reader-first content that aligns with business goals, audience needs, and search opportunities.
My goal is to create content that connects search visibility with real business outcomes—not just rankings and traffic, but relevance, authority, and opportunities for growth.

Still filling in the meta keywords tag? Google stopped reading it for ranking a long time ago.
Google said in 2009 that it doesn't use the keywords meta tag in web ranking. The habit just never died, and some CMS plugins still show the field.
Where that time goes on our builds instead:
• A unique title on every page, using the words people actually search
• A meta description per page, written to earn the click
• Headings that follow the content: one H1, then H2s
• Internal links with clear anchors, not "click here"
None of that is glamorous. All of it is visible to search engines and to people, which is more than the keywords tag ever was.
What's the oldest SEO habit you still see on client sites?

The meta keywords habit really never died, some plugins still push that field. A unique title and a meta description written to earn the click do so much more.
