I am planning big things for 2026, I have already piled up a lot of new content too.

And... I want to release a new course for Web Analytics done the Seotistics way.

This will be for Analysts or everyone wanting to explore Web Data in general, not only SEO.

The topics I am planning to cover are:

  • Coding in general (Python, SQL, R - all aided by LLMs)
  • LLMs and how to use them properly
  • Auditing websites and deeper business considerations (so not only SEO)
  • The topics covered in this newsletter

Vote below and let me know if you would buy a course like this.

Seotistics In 2025

Seotistics expanded a little bit and focused more on Web Analytics (yay)!

We are still far from my endgoal but we will get there...

This what we got this year:

βœ… grew my newsletter to 2100+ subscribers

βœ… launched "Think Like a Web Analyst", a course that goes beyond tools for Web Analytics

βœ… spoke at MeasureSummit, SERP Conf. Vienna, MeasureCamp Zurich, Search Africon, brightonSEO (UK)

βœ… Published 9 long-form articles on Seotistics

βœ… Worked on some challenging projects and applications

βœ… scaled my content game with Obsidian

βœ… crossed 13.6K followers on LinkedIn

Thanks to you all for consuming my content and putting it to good use! ❀️

This year was definitely challenging for all of us due to the global recession and massive uncertainty.

Well, let's hope for a better 2026!

A Recap Of My Articles

I've published some cool stuff this year on Seotistics:

I am already cooking the next articles πŸ”₯

You can have a guess at what I will cover, the focus is to have more long-form content and introductory articles.

That's because Seotistics also need some more tutorials in order to attract new readers.

A Recap Of My Best Issues

These are my best issues for 2025, but you tell me your opinion:

It's clear that now the digital world is obsessed with LLMs... and for a good reason!

When used properly they make a difference, unlike what many unfortunately tell you.

Updated Roadmap To Learn Analytics As An SEO

For my SEO audience, this is the latest update of how I recommend approaching Analytics:

The difference from last year is that:

  • LLMs now do most of the basic Analytics code
  • Decision Science or well, how to make decisions, is not crucial but mandatory
  • SQL & BigQuery are even more important now. Ignore them at your risk

Or you can ignore my advice, stay with the GA4/GSC interfaces and lose all the good opportunites πŸ’€

This applies to anyone, not just SEOs, in fact a good chunk of my audience now comes from different backgrounds.

And the decision part I cover here:

What's Next For 2026

You can imagine what's next:

  • update my products and release a new course
  • more blog content and focus on the Discord community
  • more topics to cover because it's all untapped πŸ‘€
  • expand my Obsidian system (it's peak)

So a lot of work to do with the exception that this time I have even more foundations and material to use.

If you want to speed up your learning and talk to great people, read the section below ⬇️

Our Discord community offers a small place where we can talk business and web data.
