Josh Maraney Adds 143 AI Search Shorts to Free Video Hub

Ask any South African marketer what has been keeping them up at night as 2026 winds down, and the answer is usually the same, which is how to stay visible when search has stopped being a Google-only activity. There is now a free place to work through that question. The short-video collection put together by Josh Maraney, who founded Top Click Media, has reached 765 clips sorted across 72 topics, with 143 of them filed under artificial intelligence. That volume makes AI the second-biggest subject in the whole collection, trailing only search engine optimisation, and it mirrors how much of a marketer's working week now goes into problems that simply were not around 24 months ago.

Access costs nothing, no account is required, and the whole thing responds to keyword searches. Nothing is locked away, nothing is released in slow instalments, and there is no paid course waiting at the finish.

What is actually in the library

All of Josh Maraney's short videos live on one page, grouped automatically into topics that are derived from each clip's title. Those 72 topics fold into nine wider categories: SEO, AI, Google Ads, Tools and Gear, Web and E-commerce, Business and Agency, Social Media, Local and Maps, plus a small miscellaneous bucket. A visitor can either choose a topic from the sidebar or run a keyword search, and the site openly nudges people toward the search box whenever a clip has ended up somewhere odd, because the sorting is done by machine rather than by hand.

Output can be arranged by relevance, by newest, by most watched or by most liked, which is handy for anyone chasing the latest take on a subject instead of the earliest recording on it. Playback happens on the page itself rather than kicking the visitor off to another site, so a person chasing down one question can run through four or five clips back to back without losing their spot. Fresh shorts appear on the YouTube channel first and reach the library inside 24 hours.

AI search is now 143 of the 765 clips

The fastest-expanding section is precisely the one South African business owners keep raising. Inside the AI category, ChatGPT stands as 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 holds 19, Gemini has 14, and a smaller AI SEO topic adds another 5. Combined, those 143 shorts explain how the assistants behave, how they choose which sources to cite, and what a business can realistically adjust on its own website.

The recurring message is that search engine optimisation and answer engine optimisation have become one job carried out in two locations. A brand with clear, well-structured, quotable pages is generally the one that gets mentioned when someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity for a suggestion. A brand with flimsy pages and no consistent story about itself usually falls out of both the ranked listings and the generated reply. The clips tackle this in short, one-idea segments instead of drawn-out lectures, which fits people who are experimenting with the assistants themselves and want a precise answer to a precise problem.

Search engine optimisation remains the biggest group

SEO is still the largest category with 173 clips, and it deals with the thankless groundwork that makes AI visibility achievable to begin with. Technical SEO accounts for 27 shorts, SEO Myths for 26, Keyword Research for 25, Backlinks for 17, Local SEO for 16, with smaller topics on 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, while another collects clips about Top Click Media and its clients.

Viewed as a whole, these SEO video tutorials function as an ongoing commentary on what genuinely shifts rankings, including plenty of clips built entirely around debunking a widespread belief that was never accurate. The fact that this myth-busting topic ranks second largest within the SEO category speaks volumes about how much poor advice still does the rounds in the South African market.

Google Ads gets its own 136 clips

The paid channel is handled as its own field rather than a side note. The Google Ads category contains 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.

Anyone who has watched an account quietly slide after Google applied one of its own recommendations will understand exactly why that topic is there. The clips speak to the person accountable for the spend, not to someone revising for a certification.

Short format, no signup, no course funnel

Length is the choice that shapes the entire project. Because these are shorts, each one settles a single question and then ends. That keeps the library useful in the spare moments of a busy day, and it keeps it truly searchable, since a keyword search hands back a specific answer rather than a ninety-minute recording with the useful bit hidden somewhere inside.

It also strips out the usual barriers. There is no email gate, no trial, no upsell bolted onto the digital marketing videos, and no need to register an account to view anything. For a small business owner who cannot stretch to a training budget, or a junior marketer scrambling to get ready 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 closing quarter and the year to come, and this time round those discussions keep colliding with the same doubts about AI search. Owners are warned their traffic is about to shift, yet given little concrete direction on what to actually change come Monday morning. A free, searchable bank of short answers, arranged by topic and refreshed every day, is a sensible spot to test a claim before approving a plan built on top of it.

The library quietly does something else too, which is demonstrating the work rather than merely claiming authority. Everything sits there dated, published and searchable, so a would-be client can reach their own conclusion about how a practitioner thinks well before any conversation begins.
