A lot of marketers talk about Google being a problem, always changing, and always out to mess up your ranking. But as Logan, hasOptimizations’ Owner and Lead Strategist, puts it: “I decided that my goal was going to be not to see them as an adversary, but to see the search engine as a sort of dance partner where when we aligned our goals with each other, we…

Courtney Fappiano on September 22nd, 2025
A few weeks ago I decided to interview Logan, owner and lead strategist of our team, about the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) landscape and their thoughts on the introduction of AI (artificial intelligence). My findings were as expected, AI isn’t going away, AI is a problem, and generative AI is the worst of all.

Imagine trying to corral over 80 therapists, a medication management program, multiple group sessions, and a two-state footprint into one website. That’s not a metaphor, we just did that. We’re happy to announce the launch of the brand-new website for Counseling Associates, an awesome mental health practice offering services across New Hampshire and Mississippi!

By leaving Twitter, we mean leaving in droves! So far, more than 115,000 users have abandoned Twitter or X, post-presidential election.
