A husband-and-wife-owned business offering website audits and optimization services opened in north Fort Worth.

The overview: Sequel Web Studio recently launched services for small and midsize businesses to improve their online visibility as AI-powered search tools continue to reshape how people find local companies, according to the businesses website.

Joe and Christina Weeks co-founded the company and first started services for family and friends before expanding to the public.

The duo specializes in website optimization for AI-driven platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity AI.

Joe Weeks said many websites built around traditional SEO strategies are no longer optimized for the way AI search engines surface information. Clients work directly with the company’s team rather than outsourced developers or account managers, he said.

Quote of note: The company focuses on transparency, direct communication and performance-driven design, Joe Weeks said.

“Small businesses need resources that keep them visible and successful in the midst of rapidly changing consumer search behavior,” he said.

Texas officials released a draft of their next state water plan in April, projecting that state and local governments will need to spend $174 billion in the next 50 years to prevent a water crisis.

The details: The three-member Texas Water Development Board voted April 16 to publish an initial draft of the 2027 State Water Plan, laying out what is needed to prepare for a future “drought of record,” when water demands are highest and supplies are lowest.

The $174 billion price tag is more than twice the cost projected in Texas’ 2022 state water plan, which was $80 billion.

The context: As Texas’ population continues to grow, water restrictions and shortages are becoming more common in areas throughout the state. At the same time, major companies are moving to Texas and communities are contemplating large data center projects, with some residents expressing concerns about high water use in the already drought-prone state.

The proposed plan includes 3,000 proposed water management projects and 6,700 strategies to increase Texas' water supplies through 2080.
