VC investing millions in AI SEO lacks basic SEO knowledge, allocates under $1k for own firm

The author shares an absurd due diligence story: a VC preparing to invest in an AI visibility startup revealed ignorance of basic SEO concepts (like crawl budget, canonical tags).
The irony peaks when the VC, ready to wire millions to disrupt SEO agencies, sought human help for his own firm's SEO with a budget under $1,000. This highlights the gap between AI disruption hype and actual understanding among some investors.
