Agency-written guide comparing influencer platforms and describing profile setup, outreach and brand-deal workflows. Free to read; individual platforms may charge fees or have eligibility requirements, so the article is not a directory of guaranteed free services.
Free November 2026 PDF on seven creator-economy infrastructure issues, including measurement, contracts, payment terms and data sharing. Based on interviews and a survey of 53 industry leaders; the sample leans toward high-volume intermediaries and the results are directional, not population-wide estimates.
Agency analysis of Google Search Console data from 166 brands and 272 properties over roughly 16 months. Discusses click-through rates, branded versus unbranded queries and search visibility; its portfolio-level observational findings should not be treated as universal benchmarks or proof of causation.
Free collection of cart-abandonment studies, calculation notes and checkout findings. Baymard reports an unweighted 70.22% average across 50 studies from 2006–2025; differing definitions and samples mean this is not a target every store should expect. Paid research products are separate.

An open-source SEO platform positioned as an alternative to Ahrefs and Semrush: keyword research, backlinks, rank tracking and site audits, billed by usage instead of a flat monthly subscription. Can be self-hosted free, or connected to AI agents over MCP.
A commercial marketing tool that generates personalized landing pages for ads, keywords, or prospects and runs A/B tests on them. A free tier is available with no credit card required, and paid plans exist. The site's changelog lists recent additions such as multi-page sites and research agents.
Meta for Business podcast episode on short-form video marketing. The page wouldn't load for our reader, so this description comes from its web address.

Online publication covering small business news, technology products, marketing, and management advice for entrepreneurs and business owners. Free to read, supported by advertising.
Tool that suggests opening lines ("hooks") for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts videos.
Why I recommend it: Freemium — the free tier is limited and the site sells paid plans. "Viral" is their marketing claim, not a guarantee.
A free form from The Hustle newsletter where founders can pitch their business for a chance to be featured to its roughly 1.5 million readers. You answer questions about your pitch, the problem you solve, your origin story and your advice for other founders. Side hustles and full-time businesses are both welcome.
Why I recommend it: Free to apply, but a feature isn't guaranteed and you only find out by reading the newsletter. The Hustle is owned by HubSpot, and the form lets HubSpot email you about its products (you can unsubscribe). Worth ten minutes if you have a clear origin story.
Free weekly newsletter and articles from EX Research on internet culture, online communities, music, games and 'super-online' trends, plus free research reports.
Why I recommend it: EX Research is a paid marketing agency; the newsletter and articles are free and double as their advertising. Useful for marketers who need to understand online communities.
A multi-chapter free guide to Answer Engine Optimization — getting your name into the answers AI assistants give, rather than into a list of blue links. Covers why search behaviour changed, where ordinary SEO still applies, deciding what you want to be known for, and how to measure and scale the work. Written by Nick Lafferty and Nigel Stevens.
Why I recommend it: The clearest free explanation of AEO I have read, and directly useful if you want an assistant to name you or your business when someone asks. Keep the source in view: Profound sells AEO tracking software and has just raised a $180m round, so the guide is built to make you feel you need a tool to do this. Take the method; test whether you actually need the product.
Search Engine Land's free guide by Curtis Weyant, last updated 30 December 2025, arguing the SEO-versus-GEO argument is a false choice and that the real change is visibility splitting across Google, ChatGPT and social platforms. Quotes the competing positions directly, including Google's "good SEO is good GEO" line. About a 13-minute read, free, no sign-up.
Why I recommend it: If you run a small business and you are being sold a separate "GEO package," read this first. It is the most level-headed free piece I have found on the subject, and it is from a trade publication that lives off this industry, so treat its optimism about measurement tools accordingly.
Pinterest's sales page for advertisers moving budget from other platforms, listing its ad placements, its own performance figures and the sign-up incentives it currently offers.
Why I recommend it: Free to read, but be clear on what this is: a sales pitch. Every multiple on it (2x impressions, 1.5x recall) is Pinterest measuring Pinterest, with no independent check. Worth a look only for the current incentive offer, and advertising itself costs money.
