The question that keeps surfacing in South African marketing meetings this year is a simple one, which is how to be found when search no longer lives only inside Google. Heading into the last quarter of 2026, marketers now have a free place to work through it. The short-video collection put together by Josh Maraney, who founded Top Click Media, has grown to 765 clips sorted across 72 topics, with 143 of them filed under artificial intelligence. AI has become the second-biggest subject in the whole collection, trailing only search engine optimisation, and that balance mirrors how much of a marketer’s week now goes on questions nobody was asking two years ago.
Access costs nothing, no account is required, and the whole thing is searchable by keyword. There is no gating, no drip-feed, and no course waiting at the finish line.
What is actually in the library
Every short Josh Maraney has released lives on one page, filed automatically into topics that are derived from each video’s title. Those 72 topics gather into nine wider groups: SEO, AI, Google Ads, Tools and Gear, Web and E-commerce, Business and Agency, Social Media, Local and Maps, and a small catch-all. You can choose a topic from the sidebar or run a keyword search, and the site itself points you toward keyword search when a clip has ended up somewhere unexpected, because the sorting is done by machine and not by hand.
Ordering can be switched between relevance, newest, most viewed and most liked, which counts for a lot when you want today’s take on a subject instead of whatever happened to be filmed earliest. Clips play right on the page rather than throwing you off to another site, so you can move through four or five in a row without losing your spot. Fresh shorts go to the YouTube channel first and turn up in the library inside a day.
AI search is now 143 of the 765 clips
The fastest-moving part is exactly the one South African business owners keep raising. Inside the AI group, ChatGPT is the biggest single topic anywhere in the collection with 49 clips. Claude comes next on 27, AI Tools sits at 22, AI Search and AEO has 19, Gemini has 14, and a smaller AI SEO topic adds another 5. Altogether that comes to 143 shorts on how the assistants behave, how they choose their sources, and what a business can realistically alter on its own website.
The thread running through all of it is that search engine optimisation and answer engine optimisation are one job carried out in two places. A brand that has built clear, well-organised, quotable pages tends to be the one named when someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity for a suggestion. A brand with thin pages and no steady story about itself tends to miss out on both the ranked listing and the generated reply. The clips tackle this one idea at a time in short bursts rather than in drawn-out theory, which fits people who are already experimenting with the assistants and need a precise answer to a precise problem.
Search engine optimisation remains the biggest group
SEO is still the largest group at 173 clips, and it deals with the unglamorous groundwork that makes AI visibility possible to begin with. Technical SEO holds 27 shorts, SEO Myths has 26, Keyword Research has 25, Backlinks has 17, Local SEO has 16, and there are smaller topics covering on-site SEO, page titles, meta descriptions, topical authority, digital PR, content and blogging, and picking an agency. One topic gathers SEO results and case studies, and another pulls together clips about Top Click Media and its clients.
Read as a whole, these SEO video tutorials amount to an ongoing commentary on what genuinely shifts rankings, including plenty of clips built purely to dismantle a widespread belief that was never accurate. The fact that myth-busting is the second-largest topic within SEO tells you plenty about how much poor advice is still doing the rounds in the South African market.
Google Ads gets its own 136 clips
Paid search is handled as its own craft rather than a footnote. The Google Ads group carries 136 shorts, headed by 28 general Google Ads clips, followed by 11 on match types and negatives, 9 on auction insights and competitor research, 8 on auto-apply and Google’s own recommendations, 8 on account audits, 8 on bidding, budgets and cost per click, 7 on Performance Max and 7 on search term reports. Smaller topics take in location targeting, remarketing, shopping ads, display, quality score, placements and exclusions, ad scheduling, account structure and click fraud.
Anybody who has watched an account slide quietly after Google applied a recommendation by itself will understand why that topic exists at all. The clips speak to the person on the hook for the spend, not to someone revising for a certificate.
Short format, no signup, no course funnel
Length is the choice that shapes the whole project. These are shorts, so each one settles a single question and ends there. That keeps the library handy in the gaps of a busy day, and it keeps it truly searchable, because a keyword search hands back a specific answer rather than a ninety-minute recording with the useful part hidden somewhere inside.
It also strips out the usual obstacles. There is no email wall, no trial, no upsell bolted onto the digital marketing videos, and no account needed to watch a thing. For a small business owner with no room for a training budget, or a junior marketer racing to prepare before a client meeting, that counts for more than slick production.
Why this is useful in September
September is the month South African businesses begin locking in budgets for the final quarter and the year to come, and this time those discussions keep colliding with the same doubts about AI search. Owners are warned that their traffic is about to shift, with little concrete guidance on what to do differently come Monday morning. A free, searchable stack of short answers, arranged by topic and refreshed daily, is a sensible spot to test a claim before approving a plan built on top of it.
The library does something quieter too, which is to show the work rather than proclaim expertise. Everything in it is dated, published and searchable, so a would-be client can judge for themselves how a practitioner reasons before a single conversation happens.
