Fair criticism. I've updated the piece with the practical side: what actually worked after I stopped depending on organic search.
This article was definitely written by ChatGPT. I think it's a story anyone who's ever shipped a website that they expected the public to make use of has experienced, but it's also light on the details of how they moved past Google organic search traffic.
AI Slop aside. If you’re sole funnel is just Google, you are basically praying for your business to launch.
Mr. Rossmann had the same problem, and he had claude fix it and it supposedly worked.
Please elaborate :)
Here's his video on it:

Can probably just go to Claude and say “look my metrics fell off a cliff after Google’s update. What might the problem be?”
The outcome of this technique is the same as just bolding all the text.
I understand why the author, an apparent native Dutch speaker, has an LLM write his prose.
The actual content is information-lite; the author never explains anything beyond deciding to no longer consider google.com referrers when deriving success metrics. Maybe the author got more engagement through email? More business offers? It's left as a mystery to the reader.
