Whether you have one author or many, use the Schema & Structured Data WordPress plugin to add sameAs to your author schema.

If you're a blogger or any other type of creator with a website, I'd strongly recommend adding a 'buy me a coffee' widget. Not that it's a big money spinner (at least it isn't for me!), but when someone takes the time to thank you like this it's an amazing feeling. Kudos to everyone who supports independent creators.

I cover a few different niches, of which the nichest (nichiest?) is Google Ad Manager. It's a platform that publishers use to run ad campaigns on their own sites, not to be confused with Google Ads. Because so few people write about GAM, it feels particularly important that I document and share anything I learn. With that in mind, here is Technically Product's 25th GAM article!

You can define an ad unit in your Google Publisher Tag and serve ads to it, even if it doesn't exist in your Google Ad Manager inventory.

One of the big challenges with Google Analytics 4 is its 'out of the box' reporting. It's less comprehensive, and frankly less useful, than the reporting suite in the old Universal Analytics. To get the most out of GA4 for yourself and your clients, you NEED to be putting together custom reporting.

But don't worry, I've got you covered! My new guide on Wix's SEO Hub walks you through how to create that custom reporting, both in terms of understanding your clients' requirements and then implementing it in GA4. I also compare reports and explorations, looking at the pros and cons of each approach.

I really hope it will help you avoid some of the mistakes I made when I was learning GA4.

Learn how to customize GA4's standard reports and explorations for better client reporting, including advanced techniques and ways to share reports with your clients.
