🚨 First podcast I’m sharing for 2026, and it’s a MUST-WATCH for food + lifestyle creators.
Our founder Casey Markee had the honor to sit-down with Christina and Corinne over at The Smart Influencer Podcast for a wide-ranging discussion.
Learn what smart bloggers are doing right now to stay visible as Google becomes more of a walled garden (AI Overviews, instant answers, etc.).
Topics covered including the following;
✅ what 2025 audit data is showing
✅ why panic-updating after core updates can make things worse
✅ how to remove traffic killers (yes, popups… looking at you)
✅ why long-tail wins are still very real
✅ how to think about AI Buttons + citations/persistent memory
✅ what I think 2026–2030 is going to look like for bloggers
If you create food/lifestyle content and want a real plan (not fear-based advice), watch this.
