Love that you’re leaning into region-specific SEO and local tone – that’s exactly where things are quietly shifting.
With AI search/recommendation getting better, a lot of discovery now happens via “answer-style” results rather than classic blue links. That’s where Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) comes in – basically structuring content so AI systems can understand *who* it’s for (e.g., a specific city/region) and *what* it’s best at.
A free tool that’s been useful for stress-testing posts through that lens is https://aeoanalyzer.app – helps see how clearly content signals topic, audience, and intent for AI engines.
Could pair nicely with your monetization experiments by making sure each piece is hyper-clear about region, use case, and outcome.
Okay. I love the 2026 playbook here. I think you're right. I'm really excited to see how this unfolds but I think you made some pretty good predictions here.
What stands out here is the shift from capability to deployment. The question in 2026 isn’t whether AI can do something, but whether it can be trusted to operate inside real constraints without constant supervision.

From possible to deployable is the line everyone's watching right now.
Tools that operate instead of assist change the entire job to be done.
