I'm shocked people still don't use Claude Cowork to dominate local SEO
I DONโT NEED A YEAR TO OUTRANK YOUR LOCAL BUSINESS. 60 DAYS IS ENOUGH WITH CLAUDE COWORK.
Here's how I would do it:
I DONโT NEED A YEAR TO OUTRANK YOUR LOCAL BUSINESS. 60 DAYS IS ENOUGH WITH CLAUDE COWORK.
Here's how I would do it:
1. Iโd use Claude Cowork for ranking factors pattern recognition
โUsing the data already collected from the top 3 competitors, do NOT give suggestions or fixes. Only identify patterns across them: common primary and secondary categories, typical review count ranges, photo upload frequency, and keyword usage patterns in business names and descriptions.
Output similarities only. No advice, no conclusions, no next steps.โ

2. Iโd use Claude Cowork to do all the keyword research for me.
"Open Chrome, go to ahrefs and analyze my competitor XYZ. comโs top 20 pages, extract their target keywords, search volumes, and give me a prioritized list with difficulty scores in a spreadsheet."
Done in 10 minutes. Not 10 hours.

Re next week's vote on the SAVE Act, rewatch this scene from The Breakfast Club. It's funny because no one gets a fake ID so they can vote. And - no matter what some racist, demagogic Republican tells you - voting is not why immigrants come to America.
1. Here is the bill they are bringing to the floor next week. It requires that you must have proof of citizenship in order to vote. docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/โฆ
2. This is the legislative equivalent of requiring that you prove you graduated from 4th grade before you can apply to graduate school - in the sense that it doesn't solve a real problem but would hurt folks who can't access those records.
Zionism is Biblical, as Roger Froikin wrote, "Zionism started 4,000 years ago, not in the late 19th century, with the promise to Avraham, Yitzchaq, and Yaโacov, with Moshe (Moses) 3,400 years ago and the trek through Sinai to Eretz Yisrael.

1)
Through periods of plenty and famine, exile, and conflicts, Bโnei Yisrael (now referred to as Jews) looked to the Land of Israel as their homeland, promised by the Creator to a people chosen to have a special role in the history of civilization."
2)
2)
We must be the ones to define Zionism and not have antisemites who know nothing about Jewish history or those who twist it define who we are.

BLAZING SADDLES was released 52 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great comedies of the 1970s, and among the most popular of director Mel Brooks, the story of how it was made is a cascading waterfall of creative alternatives...
1/36

The concept originated from Andrew Bergman's 1971 treatment Tex X, purchased by Warner Bros. for $50,000. It was bought as a vehicle for blacklisted comedian Dick Gregory to lead, but plans soon changed.

Producer Michael Hertzberg recognised Mel Brooks' unique ability to handle racial satire after The Producers released to huge acclaim in 1967, recruiting him in 1972 as director following Gregory's departure.

I don't get why most people don't use Claude for content strategy.
Let me show you 8 prompts that turn it into a $2,000/month ghostwriter-level content partner (and save you weeks of planning):
Let me show you 8 prompts that turn it into a $2,000/month ghostwriter-level content partner (and save you weeks of planning):
Prompt 1: Audience Pain Point Miner
"I'm building a content strategy for [brand/creator name] in the [niche] space. Our target audience is [detailed audience description]. Go deep into the psychology of this audience. Identify their top 10 unspoken pain points - not the obvious ones they talk about publicly, but the private frustrations they Google at 2 AM, vent about in Reddit threads, and whisper to friends. For each pain point, provide: the exact language they use to describe it, why existing solutions fail them, the emotional trigger behind the frustration, and one content angle that would make them feel instantly understood. Organize by intensity - start with the pain points that keep them up at night."
This is the research that $150/hour brand strategists charge for. It's the foundation everything else builds on. Without this, you're guessing what your audience wants. With it, every piece of content hits a nerve.

Prompt 2: 30-Day Content Calendar Architect
"I'm creating a 30-day content calendar for [platform: X/LinkedIn/Instagram]. My niche is [niche] and my target audience is [audience]. My content goals are [goals: grow followers, drive email signups, sell a product, build authority]. My brand voice is [2-3 adjectives]. Build me a complete 30-day content calendar with: the content type for each day (thread, single post, carousel, poll, story), a specific topic and angle for each post, the hook or first line written out in full, which content pillar it serves (educational, inspirational, personal, promotional, engagement), and the strategic purpose behind each post. Make sure the calendar has a rhythm - no two consecutive days with the same format, promotional posts are spaced every 5-7 days, and engagement-bait posts appear at least twice per week."
This is what content agencies deliver as a $2,000 monthly retainer. One prompt. Done in 3 minutes. And because Claude's context window holds your entire strategy, every post connects to the bigger picture.

My father Paddy was born in West Cork in 1920. Paddy was a very young IRA volunteer in the early thirties, He became the Adjutant of the West Cork Battalion as a young teenager. He learned about rifle shooting, the Lee Enfield rifle and how to blow-up a bridge.

Donโt mess with Texas ... solar, or market economics!
In February 2026, Texas took the crown as the #1 state for utility-scale solar: Solar went from 2% in 2020 to out-generating coal
They said it couldn't be done in the land of oil and gas. They were (of course) wrong
