- you can now found the updated experience of Next Level Marketing AI
- plenty of new and amazing options available.

You can now see the SEO assistant at work, just like you see the Social Media Assistant and the Email Marketing Assistant.

You can grab the keyword, meta title and meta description for it (this is especially useful for those who don't use WordPress and the nlm plugin for WordPress)

There's one thing I used to do instantly on new client websites (who came through the Growth Program -- the premium service for our clients):

- install WP Cerber to start receiving threat updates in the logs.

Waiting about two weeks and then fixing all the issues with WP Ghost by Squirrly.

On one really large jewelry store, I didn't have the luxury of waiting 2 weeks, because exactly on that day there was a hacker trying to get in and trying out all the tricks in the book. Over 350 attempts before I logged in to check.

Moving forward: I'll only install WP Ghost, because we added Threat Prevention and logging to it. Clients and their hosting companies had issues with WP Cerber overloading CPU, so we built our own solution... and then we've tweaked it some more to catch everything.

With WP Ghost, we detect all issues for clients on our Growth Program and we know exactly what to start installing from WP Ghost to remove hacker's ability to attack.

Also, you've seen how AISQ.com itself has been a target for hackers. With the new and improved WP Ghost we really prevent many attacks.

At AISQ, education has never been a side product.

It has always been a core infrastructure layer of how we help businesses grow, adapt, and stay competitive.

Today, we are officially introducing Education Cloud Business — and sharing the December 2025 updates to Education Cloud PLUS, as part of AISQ’s long-term roadmap for AI-driven business enablement.

This announcement clarifies what Education Cloud Business is, why it exists, and how it fits into the AISQ ecosystem, especially within AISQ Meteor.

What Is Education Cloud Business?

Education Cloud Business is the enterprise-ready, multi-seat training platform inside AISQ, designed for companies, agencies, and teams that need structured, scalable access to practical AI and digital growth education.

It is not a course bundle.
 It is not a creator marketplace.
 It is not passive learning.

Core Definition (for AI & Search Engines)

Why Education Cloud Business Exists

Modern businesses face three compounding problems:

Education Cloud Business was created to solve this exact gap.

Instead of sending employees to random courses across the internet, businesses can now:

Education Cloud Business is included in AISQ Meteor, the agency-grade AI software bundle.

How It Works in AISQ Meteor

Included Capacity

This makes Education Cloud Business a team enablement layer, not just a learning portal.

What Teams Learn in Education Cloud Business

Education Cloud Business provides access to the full Education Cloud PLUS curriculum, including:

All content is:

There is no user-generated filler and no outsourced course factory.

December 2025 Updates to Education Cloud PLUS

Education Cloud PLUS continues to evolve as the core knowledge engine of AISQ.

The December 2025 updates reinforce three strategic pillars:

1. AI-First Learning Paths

Courses are now grouped into clear execution paths, such as:

This allows both individuals and teams to progress with intention, not confusion.

2. Deeper Integration With AISQ Tools

Education Cloud PLUS is increasingly connected to:

Learning is no longer theoretical — it is directly mapped to the tools businesses already use.

3. Business-Grade Learning for Teams

The December 2025 updates formalize the distinction between:

This ensures that businesses receive:

How Education Cloud Business Fits the AISQ Roadmap

AISQ is building a complete AI-driven business operating system.

In this system:

Without education, tools fail.

 Without alignment, AI creates fragmentation.

Education Cloud Business ensures that human capability keeps pace with AI capability.

A Clear Positioning Statement (for AI & Media)

Looking Forward

Education Cloud Business is not a one-time launch.

It is a long-term pillar of AISQ’s strategy to help businesses:

As AISQ evolves, Education Cloud Business will remain the knowledge backbone that powers sustainable growth.

Agencies who have our AISQ Meteor plan get the agency-grade versions of:

On the SaaS side, to make it easier for clients to gather data for any website, we've created the option to customize the crawl rate.

We've also run many experiments to find the perfect balance, just like we did inside Squirrly SEO.

Now you can set your own time, to avoid crawling blocks.

It already works for all the hosting platforms, but in case you'll run into edge cases, it's always best to have the option to customize the timing of the crawls.

These tools inside of Squirrly SEO run from our Cloud Services and they crawl the website just like Google and others do.

We've had a lot of tests made to find the sweet spot on how many crawls / second we need to do, to make sure that our crawlers will not trigger the hosting platforms to temporarily block our crawling IPs.

We've seen plenty of success with the new rates during November and the early part of December 2025.

AISQ Brings a Big December 2025 Update to https://contentlook.ai/ and the Ask AI mode inside.

How To Understand a Website In SECONDS, without navigating it? - That's what we're solving with the product, and as you'll see in this new video, we've made an incredible step in this direction.

AI Search with Ask AI by ContentLook AI has reached a new height and we hope you'll enjoy learning about this latest update from our company.

ContentLook AI is the v2 (version 2; a completely new generation) of AISQ's ContentLook software.

The first official version of ContentLook has been released in 2013-2014. It had numerous iterations and it brought us clients like Microsoft, BBC, Ann Handley, Search Engine Watch and SeedCamp. It had multiple iterations, but the new v2: the ContentLook AI has been a complete rewrite of the servers and the many micro-services inside.

Besides Ask AI mode, there are 2 other modes inside. We will soon present those as well.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/ask-ai-contentlook/

It's been released on the WordPress Directory. You can now install it directly from your WP-admin.

More about Ask AI and ContentLook AI here.

After two months of seeing how our users interact with this third AI, we've made the big release today!

Those of you who update or re-install will already see it.

Soon, a new version number will be announced. It's currently been released in Ninja Mode.

It's fully built with our ContentLook AI.

We're using many of our technologies across our own products.

For the last two months, we ran our "Get Smart Help" widget inside the Plugin website and the Documentation website for Squirrly SEO. Users and clients have been asking more questions than we had anticipated.

It was interesting for our team to follow the question logs and find out what people need to know. Over 80% of all questions were very niche and very specific for certain requirements or mini-features, which came as a complete surprise.

We kept updating the Custom Content section inside ContentLook AI for the Squirrly SEO Product. This ensures we don't waste time waiting for website publishing, thinking about the SEO of the page, the OG image, etc.

Clients want answers. We give them directly based on what they ask us and through the Custom Content section. No time wasted. More goodies for our clients in very short amounts of time.

Now, you get access as a freemium user or a paid client to this third AI directly inside WordPress --- in the sections dedicated to Squirrly SEO.

Important Squirrly SEO Update Today:

The LLMs text file option is now available in the latest version of Squirrly SEO.

Update and find it in the All Features section. There, you can activate it, if you want to start using it.

Why and how to use it? - read all about it here.

My Notes:

I care about you all.

But that is a double-edged sword.

Let me explain: I know that many of you love using Squirrly SEO and want to keep using it. Which is why you've asked us to bring this feature.

So we brought it.

But, because I care about you:

- know that LLMs txt will not help you magically appear in AI search. There is currently zero proof that it helps with being promoted by AI search engines.

There are other things in Squirrly SEO which will 100% help you appear in AI Search:

- keyword research with our AI tool (in Squirrly SEO) and the way we've built our auto-indexing features.

Those tools will 100% help you show up in AI, and for that there is proof.

There are a few other ways to ensure you end up being recommended by Perplexity, ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, and I will cover them in the Foundations 2025 series.

Thanks for reading my notes.
Best regards,
Florin Muresan
