About Us
2025 is the year that it became very important to optimize websites for the AI Answer Engines (AEO) Now AEO is as important or more important than SEO.
For more than a year I have been optimizing websites to maintain or improve their on-page SEO and overhaul the sites to optimize them for the AI Answer Engines (AEO)
I utilize a freelance approach to building SEO friendly and AEO Optimized websites and custom eCommerce stores for industrial companies, trucking companies, medical practices and many small or medium size organizations.
What if your Website person and AEO/SEO person were the same person? -It just works better that way.
I make websites that look great, load quickly, work on mobile and are SEO friendly. I am also good at Google and Bing on-page SEO. My small team has also written the software to transfer invoices from QuickBooks to a company's website in their customer account portal.
How We Got Started
I have been building websites for my entire adult live. I started Lightning Mine and have been working for myself since around 2012. It is an exciting space and there are continually new things to learn. It has always been an industry with rapid change and lots of new things. That is one of the aspects that makes it so fun.

I believe data science is easier to learn, simpler overall, and tends to pay a lot better. Also, since the term has gone mainstream recently, there is a more limited number of people with the qualifications, knowledge and experience in data science. If you are choosing one or the other based on where you can earn the most money in the shortest period of time, probably data science is the best choice. Of course there are many other factors, but that is how I would answer your specific question.
People handle it differently. I drive more than 800 miles each way for a couple clients who are about 4 states away. I visit a few times per year and do not charge. They are long time clients and it works out. If I had to spend hundreds or thousands on airfare, then I would give them an...

it is tragic to hear about stores closing and people losing their jobs. However, it seems that those two companies were like the distribution channels for thousands of Chinese manufacturers. Both of those chains appeared to be giant pipelines from China. Why can't we make toys here in the USA? There are some smaller mom and pop size toy stores with toys and educational items sourced from the US and all over the world. In an attempt to find a bright side to this situation, maybe now there are more opportunities for other businesses and companies.

I do not think there is any single correct answer to this question. It starts with the specific business and is also dependent on what the business's competitors are doing online. It starts with a content rich seo friendly website, then probably the directories, social media, Google and Bing Adwords, plus content and influencer marketing are good in some situations.
