Dolly Parton died this week, and half the internet is suddenly writing about branding. Buried under the tributes is a real, useful, uncomfortable idea about what gets a business remembered, and increasingly, recommended.
46% of students now ask AI where to go to college. Is your school in the answer?
Nearly half of high school students now run their college search through an AI chatbot before they ever fill out a form. If your admissions content isn't written to be found and cited there, someone else's is.
