#SEO #WebsiteMigration Tip: Never base your redirect mapping only on your live site URLs!
- Just use a current site crawl? ❌
- Just use the XML sitemap? ❌
- Use site crawl, sitemap, GSC data, GA4 data, Link profile data? ✅

A free web mentions API? - Yes, please! @Ahrefs just launched Firehose. And it's kind of a big deal. 👉 firehose.com It captures updates from across the web, filters them using rules you define, and delivers results via API (for bots and agents) or a frontend UI (for humans). Under the hood, it's powered by @Ahrefs' massive crawler infrastructure (one of the largest on the web), so the coverage is legitimately impressive. Now that AI has made coding accessible to everyone, there's no excuse not to spin up a free Firehose account and start experimenting. Track brand mentions, monitor competitors, catch keyword trends — whatever you want. Want more ideas? Just feed the API docs to Claude Code and ask it what to build: 👉 firehose.com/api-docs Happy building! P.S. Firehose is free until further notice.

This is a big deal. Agents can bypass the UI via WebMCP -> Chrome Team announces WebMCP is available for early preview
"As the agentic web evolves, we want to help websites play an active role in how AI agents interact with them. WebMCP aims to provide a standard way for exposing structured tools, ensuring AI agents can perform actions on your side with increased speed, reliability, and precision."
"By defining these tools, you tell agents how and where to interact with your site, whether it's booking a flight, filing a support ticket, or navigating complex data. This direct communication channel eliminates ambiguity and allows for faster, more robust agent workflows." developer.chrome.com/blog/webmcp-epp

Is this revolutionary? No. It’s a framework we're testing.
Does it work? No data to share yet!
Should it work? We think so, but we’re not claiming to have ‘cracked the code’. We’ll let the evidence speak for itself, over time.
Does it make sense? We think so!

Who else is sick of Google saying “Just write for humans…”? This is really poor from Google.
The machines (llms and agents) are quickly becoming a key audience and user. We need to be thinking about all audiences.
Keep chunking, but do it well!
