1 — One Story: “Wait… Where Did That GPT Go?”

Last week, a client asked me a question I’ve been hearing more and more:

“Meg, I have like… 17 custom GPTs and 6 Projects. I cannot tell what is doing what.”

Same, friend. Same.

I remember the first time I realized I had created a tiny AI kingdom with no actual organization.

I had a Content Planner GPT… a Writer GPT… a Voice GPT… two “final draft” chats… and five versions of the same SEO project scattered everywhere like digital laundry.

Every time I needed something, I’d think:

  • Was it in a Project?
  • Did I ask a GPT that never saved anything?
  • Why is AI not helping me… why is AI stressing me out??

That’s when I finally understood the real problem:

I didn’t know the difference between when to use a Project versus when to use a GPT.

And once I got clarity, everything snapped into place.

2 — One Visibility Tip: Projects = Workspace, GPTs = Workers

Here’s the simplest way to never feel confused again:

Projects are where your work LIVES.

⭐ GPTs are who does the work.

Use Projects when you need:
✔ long-term storage
✔ a timeline or phases
✔ collaboration
✔ ongoing tasks
✔ organization

Use GPTs when you need:
✔ writing
✔ editing
✔ brainstorming
✔ formatting
✔ fast creation

Projects hold the context.
GPTs perform the
action.

This matters for visibility because when your Projects are organized, your GPTs can produce clearer, more consistent content — which leads to stronger messaging, cleaner SEO, and better AI signals across the board.

When your tools are scattered, your message is scattered.
When your tools are organized, your visibility expands.

3 — One Simple Step: Create Your “Project HQ” Today

Pick ONE project you’re working on right now —
your newsletter, a client project, a campaign — anything.

Inside ChatGPT, create a Project called:

“[Project Name] — HQ”

Then tell it:

“You are my central workspace for this project. Store all decisions, drafts, notes, assets, and next steps here. When I bring in other GPTs, share the relevant context with them.”

That’s it.

Instant clarity.
Instant forward motion.
No more “where did that go?”

Your future self will want to kiss you.

Cheers! Meg

Most people think they have an SEO problem. What they actually have is a visibility problem with AI. I see this a lot. A business has: a solid website decent traffic clear services But when you ask ChatGPT or Gemini: 👉 “Who should I hire for this?” They don’t show up. Not because they’re not good. Because AI doesn’t understand or trust what it’s reading. I tested this recently on a few sites (including my own). And the pattern was consistent: weak or unclear About pages no structured answers...

1️⃣ One Story: I Finally Stopped Treating ChatGPT Like a Junk Drawer For a long time, my ChatGPT looked like my desktop in 2012. Random ideas. Half-finished prompts. Very important thoughts living next to nonsense. Every time I opened it, I knew I’d asked something useful — I just couldn’t find it. The solution for this: Projects. 2️⃣ One Visibility Tip: Projects Work Because of Instructions and Files Projects aren’t just folders. They’re context containers. Two things make them powerful:...

One story I reviewed a site this week for a service-based business that was frustrated they weren’t being recommended by AI. They had solid services. Good reviews. Decent traffic. But when I asked ChatGPT who they were and who they help… the answer was vague. Why? Their About page was doing what most About pages do: talking around the business listing credentials without context focusing on personality instead of clarity Humans could skim it and “get the vibe.”AI couldn’t tell who to...
