What is Google AI Studio and when would a business use it?
AI Studio is Google's browser tool for trying prompts and Gemini models before you build them into anything. For a real tool that handles client data, we'd use Vertex AI on a billed Google Cloud project instead of a free AI Studio key.
What it is
AI Studio is Google's browser tool for trying prompts and Gemini models and seeing the results straight away.
When it's useful
It's a quick place to test whether a prompt does the job before anyone writes code around it.
When to move on
Google's pricing page says content sent on the free Gemini API tier can be used to improve its products, and content on the paid tier isn't. For tools that handle client data, our journey analysers call Gemini through Vertex AI on a billed Google Cloud project. See how we use Gemini.

What is content and SEO, and why does it matter?
Content is everything your audience reads, watches or listens to. SEO makes it easy to find when someone searches, on Google and other search engines. Together they bring in people who are already looking for what you do.
How do you develop a content strategy for my business?
We start with who you need to reach and which searches matter, using your Search Console data first. Then we line up the content you already have against the customer's journey, mark the gaps and put the pieces that matter most into a content calendar. After that it's writing and checking what earns clicks and enquiries.
How do you optimise content for search engines?
We make each page answer the search as fully as it can, and link to the expert where we aren't one. Then we get the basics right (keywords, titles, headings, internal links) and check in Search Console what the page actually appears for. Underneath it all, we write for the reader.
What makes Pacing.Agency’s approach to content and SEO different?
We start with who you're trying to reach, using what Search Console and GA4 already show about your visitors, plus what you know about your market. We write for the reader first, then check Search Console and GA4 to see what's working.
How do you use Google Gemini in your work?
We use Gemini in a few places, mostly inside tools we host, and a person checks the result each time:
- Summaries of one visitor's trail in our client journey analysers.
- An optional step in the TechStack Analyser that checks detections and writes company summaries (switched off in the deployed version).
- Notes on some calls in Google Meet.
On one client's website, a person on their team has also made hero images with it by hand in the Gemini app. We're piloting its image model in our own ad studio.
