What are some of the tools or services everyone is using for newly created backlinks in order for them to get indexed by Google quickly? Example: you publish a press release with hyperlinks back to your website pages within the content. The press release gets picked up by 100 online media channels. You know have 100 backlinks. Instead of waiting around for Google to index those 100 backlink URLs, are their tools or services that index those backlinks in a short amount of time?

I wanted to share some big news about our SEO agency's content creation process. After extensive testing of the major AI tools available, we've made the decision to switch from ChatGPT to Claude 3.5 Sonnet for our content generation needs. Why the switch? We conducted thorough comparisons of several leading AI language models, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet consistently outperformed the others in key areas: AI Detection: Content produced by Claude was less likely to be flagged by AI content detectors. Quality Assessment: Professional copywriters subjectively rated Claude's output higher in terms of overall quality. Consistency: We found that Claude delivered excellent results even when using our existing prompts, which were originally designed for ChatGPT. What does this mean for our clients? Improved Content Quality: You can expect even better, more natural-sounding content that resonates with your target audience. Reduced Risk: With lower AI detection rates, there's less chance of content being penalized by search engines for being AI-generated. Same Great Service: Our team's expertise in crafting effective prompts and fine-tuning outputs remains a crucial part of our process. Moving Forward We're excited about the possibilities this change brings and are already seeing positive results. As always, we remain committed to staying at the forefront of SEO and content creation technology to deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients. If you have any questions about this update or would like to learn more about how it might benefit your specific projects, please don't hesitate to reach out. For anyone who has access to the AI SEO mastery course, I've added a few lessons about getting Claude setup for automations. Otherwise, use the exact prompts we used for ChatGPT but with Claude and you'll see better output.

I have a client with some page speed issues. Core web vitals show it in GSC and it scores a 30 on mobile on page speed insights. Desktop is fine. I know I have heard you mention this before, thought I would see if you have a preferred vendor on Upwork or elsewhere that does a great job with this.
