Questions
Questions about the writing
Where can I read what Michael Blair has written?
On this page: 114 posts, 64 on the Zorva Labs blog, 21 in the Nashville’s Web Design Punch List and 29 in National Closet Company’s Closet Cases. Another 576 are on the 48 Nashville’s Network trade blogs, listed on their own page. Each title opens the post where it was published.
What does Michael Blair write about?
For Zorva Labs: web design, SEO and AI search — GEO, llms.txt, schema — plus the client builds his team shipped and what each trade should publish. For Nashville’s Web Design: one question a Middle Tennessee owner asks, such as whether Angi leads pay. For National Closet: what a custom closet or pantry costs and how ours compares.
How can I tell a post is really by Michael Blair?
Each one carries his name in the byline and in its structured data, and the byline links back here. This list is read from those sites, not typed by hand, so a post shows up only after it is live under his name.
Where should a Nashville business owner start reading?
Start with the Punch List. Every post there takes one question owners ask about getting found or getting calls and ends with a short list of what to do this week. If AI search is the worry, Zorva’s posts on GEO and llms.txt are next.
