About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Search Influence CEO Will Scott Talks AI and the Future of SEO on the Leduc Entertainment Podcast

New Orleans, Louisiana (PRESS ADVANTAGE) -

In a conversation that feels more like two professionals trading notes than a formal interview, Will Scott, CEO of Search Influence, joined host Will Brooks on the Leduc Entertainment Podcast to talk through one of the biggest shifts in digital marketing today: artificial intelligence and its growing influence on search engine optimization (SEO).

Scott, who has worked in SEO since before smartphones became mainstream, approaches the topic with both curiosity and caution. "It's not that SEO is going away," he said during the episode. "It's that how we do SEO has to change if we want to stay useful and visible." That shift, he explained, has everything to do with how AI systems, like Google's AI Overviews or OpenAI's ChatGPT, are trained to understand and surface information.

Graphic promoting SEO and AI trends featuring text: ‘The Future of SEO is AI: Will Scott on What’s Changing and What’s Next,’ with illustrated gears, arrows, and a ‘NEW’ label.

The episode explores how search engines no longer rely solely on keywords and backlinks, but now look for context, clarity, and structured data that machines can easily understand. Scott talks through real scenarios from his agency's client work, including how one healthcare client dramatically improved content development speed using AI-assisted workflows, but only after a human strategist shaped the prompt and structure. "The tools are great, but they need smart inputs," Scott said. "AI can't think like your customer unless you tell it how."

Scott's agency has developed practical tools to help marketers navigate this shift, including an AI Website Grader that evaluates how well websites are optimized for AI search systems.

He also emphasized that effective AI SEO doesn’t start with technology. It starts with people. Search Influence’s team includes strategists, developers, and content specialists who collaborate to ensure client content is structured, discoverable, and aligned with how modern search works.

For marketers unsure where to begin, Scott offered practical starting points: Think about how your website explains what you do in plain language, how pages connect to each other, and how easy it is for both users and machines to find your expertise. His team's recent guide on AI SEO tracking tools provides actionable steps for measuring visibility across AI-powered search platforms. The conversation avoided jargon in favor of real talk — something listeners will appreciate as AI hype continues to flood the industry.

As the interview wrapped up, Scott emphasized that the marketers who embrace structure, entity clarity, and editorial judgment will be best positioned to thrive. "It's not magic. It's strategy. It's giving the machine the context it needs so your content shows up at the right moment."

The full episode, "The Future of SEO is AI — Will Scott Explains How to Get Ahead," is now available to stream on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/live/BkkpsbJqKFI?si=3qNTdKTr1vP3m25O. In it, Scott shares grounded advice for marketers adapting to AI without losing the human side of strategy.

Founded in 2006, Search Influence has worked with organizations ranging from local businesses to national universities, helping them grow their online presence through proven digital strategies. As AI reshapes the rules of engagement, the agency continues to refine its approach, combining technical SEO best practices with a deep understanding of content structure and entity relationships. Scott’s leadership reflects that balance, bridging emerging tools with timeless marketing principles.
