This week, as dNOVO we joined law firm leaders, managers, and industry partners in Hamilton for conversations about whatโ€™s shaping the future of legal services.

This yearโ€™s theme, โ€œBeyond the Billable,โ€ brought together discussions around AI, technology adoption, client intake, marketing, and smarter business processes, and how these areas are changing the way law firms operate and grow.

๐Ÿค Beyond the sessions, it was a great opportunity to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, and even meet some of our clients, exchange perspectives with industry professionals, as well as hear firsthand about the priorities and challenges law firms are navigating today.

Thank you to TLOMA for putting together such a valuable event. Weโ€™re leaving Hamilton with new connections, insightful conversations, and plenty to take forward.

Recent Local SEO testing uncovered a pattern worth paying attention to.

A page ranking #1 organically was added as the landing page in a Google Business Profile. After the change, its organic ranking dropped to around #10.
When the GBP link was switched back, the page returned to #1.
And the impact wasnโ€™t just about rankings. In another example, a home services business recorded ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ ๐œ๐ฅ๐ข๐œ๐ค๐ฌ ๐š๐ญ ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.

The pattern suggests that when a business already appears in the Local Pack, Google may reduce the organic visibility of the same page linked from its GBP - potentially to create more diversity across the search results.

Is it the same page that was already ranking strongly organically? Testing a different relevant landing page could help you protect visibility across both local and organic search.

A cup of English tea tastes even better with a London view! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡งโ˜•

๐Ÿ›๏ธ I recently headed to the UK together with my business partner, exploring a city where centuries of history, business, culture, and new ideas somehow fit into the same streets.
๐Ÿ’‚โ€โ™‚๏ธ From Londonโ€™s historic architecture and galleries to the character of St Jamesโ€™s and its long-established businesses, there was plenty to explore.
๐Ÿค And naturally, a few business conversations found their way into the trip too. I had the chance to meet new people, exchange perspectives, network, and make valuable connections for what might come next.

Sometimes the best ideas and connections happen outside the usual routine, somewhere between exploring a new city and having a good conversation.

A little vacation, a little networking, and a lot of London. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Following the May 2026 Core Update, ranking volatility increased significantly, especially for location-specific and mobile organic searches.

๐Ÿ“ Explicit geo searches: +76.3%
๐Ÿ“ฑ Mobile organic: +48.7%
๐Ÿ”Ž โ€œNear meโ€ searches: +30.2%

The important part? The ranking you see in one search may not represent what other users are seeing. Even logged-out searches without click history showed significant differences depending on location.

For SEO, this makes single keyword checks increasingly unreliable. Understanding who is actually winning in search requires data across many searches and locations, combined with tracking what happens after the search through calls, clicks, and leads.

Rankings still matter, but the real question remains the same: is search bringing more business?

Weโ€™ve been testing ChatGPT Ads ourselves, and over the last 30 days, our average CPC is CA$3.86.
Thatโ€™s right in line with the $2โ€“$5 CPC range reported across early ChatGPT Ads campaigns.

What makes this channel different from traditional search ads is the targeting. Instead of simply matching keywords, ChatGPT Ads can be matched to the context and intent of a conversation.
Itโ€™s still early, but weโ€™re testing it now to understand what actually works, before AI advertising becomes as competitive as traditional search.

GPT-5.6 is changing the AI citation landscape ๐Ÿ˜ค
Just 10 days into the rollout, Reddit saw an 88% drop in ChatGPT citations, while arXiv and YouTube also saw significant declines.

For Reddit specifically, the change appears to happen at the retrieval stage: ChatGPT is selecting Reddit as a source far less often.
Interestingly, this doesnโ€™t seem to be an industry-wide trend. Redditโ€™s visibility in Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Grok remains largely unaffected.

The takeaway for GEO: AI visibility isnโ€™t static. When a model changes, the sources it trusts and cites can change with it.
Tracking citations across different AI platforms is becoming increasingly important.

Anthropic is introducing a hidden watermark for text generated by Claude.
Unlike a visible label, this watermark is designed to remain embedded in the content as it moves around the web.

Copy and paste it? The watermark can travel with the text.
Edit the content? It may still remain detectable.

And this isn't limited to text. AI-generated images will also include metadata indicating that they were created using AI.
Anthropic says the goal is greater transparency around AI-generated content and compliance with the EU AI Act. They also plan to provide technical documentation so users and third parties can understand how the watermark can be detected.

For marketers and SEO professionals, this raises an important question:
What happens when search engines can identify AI-generated content more easily and at scale?

AI-assisted content isn't going away. But the distinction between AI-generated, AI-assisted, and genuinely original content could become much more important.
If Google and other platforms eventually gain reliable ways to identify AI-generated content, simply producing more content with AI may no longer be enough.

AI can make content production faster.
But speed isn't the same as value.
And that distinction may become increasingly important for SEO.

Your website can look perfect to a human and still make very little sense to AI.

One of the more interesting shifts happening in SEO right now is the growing importance of the accessibility tree.
We usually think about websites through what we see: design, images, buttons, navigation, layout.
AI agents don't necessarily experience the page that way.
They can rely on the structured semantic layer of a website, including headings, landmarks, accessible names, roles, labels, and states to understand what a page contains and what actions are available.
And that creates a new layer of technical SEO.

A CTA might visually say โ€œBook a Consultationโ€, but if itโ€™s built as a generic with a click handler, an agent may not properly understand it as a button.
A page might have beautiful visual headings, but if they aren't represented as actual headings in the accessibility tree, the content structure becomes much harder for machines to interpret.

The same applies to:
โ†’ generic โ€œLearn moreโ€ links
โ†’ unlabeled forms
โ†’ missing image alt text
โ†’ JavaScript content that never reaches the accessibility tree
โ†’ incorrect heading hierarchy
โ†’ interactive elements without clear roles or names
This is where accessibility, technical SEO, and AI search are starting to overlap.

Now we also need to ask:
Can an AI agent actually understand and navigate what we built?
That question is going to become a much bigger part of technical SEO.
