AI SEO Marketing Agency Search Influence Named to 2026 CityBusiness Best Places to Work List

NEW ORLEANS, LA - October 14, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Search Influence, an AI SEO marketing agency, has been named to the 2026 Best Places to Work list by New Orleans CityBusiness, which recognizes the company as one of the region's top small employers for workplace culture.
Now in its 24th year, the Best Places to Work program recognized 60 honorees across the New Orleans area, divided into small-, medium-, and large-employer categories based on local staffing levels. Search Influence was honored in the Small Company category, which covers organizations with 10 to 49 New Orleans-area employees, adding to the agency's growing list of industry recognitions.

Honorees are selected through a two-part evaluation administered by Best Companies Group, a workplace-culture research firm and a subsidiary of BridgeTower Media, which owns CityBusiness. Nominated companies disclose workforce data such as salaries, benefits, retention levels, and employee advancement, and are further evaluated through an Employer Questionnaire covering workplace policies and practices, alongside an anonymous survey of company employees measuring satisfaction with leadership, communication, and overall workplace culture. Companies must meet a minimum survey response rate for their results to be considered, and final rankings are based on a combined score from both components.
"Being named to the Best Places to Work list again means a lot, especially as we are now in our 20th year in business," said Angie Scott, co-owner and chief operating officer of Search Influence. "We've built a fully remote team where people stick around for the long haul, and that kind of stability is what lets us do our best work for our clients."
The recognition marks Search Influence's fifth consecutive year and seventh time overall on the list. Founded in 2006 as a search engine optimization (SEO) company, Search Influence has grown from a two-person operation into a fully remote team applying paid advertising and AI SEO strategies for clients across the country, while continuing to prioritize benefits such as tenure-based paid time off, comprehensive health coverage, a 401(k) with employer match, paid parental leave, and flexible scheduling.
The agency is also a woman-owned business with a predominantly female leadership team, and it maintains an employee-led committee focused on inclusivity and representation. That combination of long-term staff investment and workplace flexibility reflects the kind of employee satisfaction and retention factors the Best Places to Work survey is designed to measure.
Search Influence's client roster spans higher education, hospitality, and healthcare organizations, including Harvard University, New Orleans & Company, and Audubon Nature Institute. This year's Best Places to Work honorees also included organizations in the medium employer category (50 to 249 local employees) and large employer category (250 or more local employees), reflecting the range of industries represented across the New Orleans business community.
Honorees will be featured in a special publication inserted into the Dec. 15 issue of CityBusiness, which will also reveal the top three companies in each category. More information about the program is available through New Orleans CityBusiness. Search Influence's other industry honors are listed on the agency's awards and achievements page.

Patina Construction Marks Kitchen & Bath Month With Remodeling Tips

PITTSBURGH, PA - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Patina Construction & Development, a Pittsburgh-area design-build firm, is using National Kitchen & Bath Month, which runs through October, to explain why kitchen remodels so often go over budget and fall behind schedule. The firm's central message is direct: most overruns and delays come from gaps in planning, not bad luck.
Older homes present a particular set of surprises. Opening up walls in an aging house frequently reveals conditions that expand the scope of work, from outdated wiring to plumbing that no longer meets current standards. Patina advises homeowners to build a contingency line into the budget and to approve every change in writing before crews proceed. That practice keeps unexpected discoveries from turning into disputes or stalled work later in the process.

According to the company, many of the issues faced during a kitchen remodel trace back to decisions made before any demolition begins. Permit requirements vary by municipality, and a project that proceeds without the correct approvals can trigger a stop-work order the moment demolition starts. Confirming permitting rules with the local authority before crews arrive helps homeowners avoid a sudden halt that pushes timelines and costs in the wrong direction.
Layout is another recurring source of frustration. Lack of usable counter space ranks among the most common complaints homeowners raise after a renovation is complete. A layout audit conducted before cabinetry is ordered allows the design to be adjusted on paper, when changes cost nothing, rather than after materials arrive on site. Addressing workflow, storage, and counter area early prevents the kind of costly rework that undermines an otherwise finished kitchen.
Quentin Carbone, Principal at Patina Construction, said the region's housing stock makes early planning especially important.
"In a lot of the older homes around Pittsburgh, demolition tends to reveal things the previous owners covered up, whether that is knob-and-tube wiring, old galvanized pipe, or framing that was modified at some point without a permit," Carbone said. "Those are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to plan. When the scope is documented and the permits are confirmed before work begins, a surprise behind the wall becomes a line item instead of a crisis."
The guidance applies to bathrooms as well as kitchens, where tight footprints, hidden moisture damage, and fixture relocation raise similar planning questions. Homeowners weighing a project can review the firm's full discussion of kitchen remodeling challenges for additional detail on preparation, documentation, and scope control. The company notes that these principles hold whether or not a homeowner ever engages a professional contractor, and that any experienced kitchen remodeling company should be willing to walk through permitting and scope before a contract is signed.

Dropship China Pro Flags December 12 Cutoff for China Dropshipping Supplier Orders

Pomona, CA - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Dropship China Pro, a China-based dropshipping supplier and e-commerce fulfillment partner serving online sellers since 2016, is advising merchants that the window for guaranteed Christmas delivery on products shipped directly from China is closing. According to the company's own order records, parcels sent direct from China to US customers typically take seven to twelve days in transit, meaning orders placed after approximately December 12 can no longer be guaranteed to arrive before the holiday.
The timing reflects a broader point about how holiday sales are won and lost. For online retailers, the holiday calendar functions as an inventory calendar. The factor that determines late-season revenue is not how fast a parcel moves, but where the stock is positioned when the order is placed.

Sellers who move best-selling products into a US warehouse in advance can continue accepting orders until around December 20, gaining roughly ten additional selling days during the final weeks of the year. Those additional days fall in the final stretch of the holiday season, when many sellers take a large share of their fourth-quarter orders.
Dropship China Pro operates a hybrid model built around this timing. Working with a dropshipping supplier that also holds inventory domestically allows merchants to test new products shipped direct from China while keeping established sellers close to their customers. The company maintains fulfillment centers in Hangzhou and Dongguan in China, alongside a US fulfillment warehouse presence in New Brunswick, New Jersey and Pomona, California. Orders fulfilled from the US locations reach domestic customers within one to three days.
Elaine Shan, Chief Executive Officer of Dropship China Pro, said sellers should treat their final China orders of the year as a planning decision rather than a shipping one. "The sellers who protect their December revenue are the ones who decide in November which products to pre-position in the United States," Shan said. "A product arriving from China in mid-December is a product that will miss the holiday. Moving established inventory into a domestic warehouse ahead of time is what keeps the storefront open through the final selling days, and it lets sellers continue testing new items from China without risking late arrivals on their core catalog."
The model allows merchants to weigh cost against speed. Direct-from-China fulfillment remains suited to new or unproven products, while high-volume items are often positioned domestically. Operating with a dropshipping agent in China that controls both ends of the supply chain reduces the coordination gaps that can appear between sourcing, inspection and delivery during peak demand.


Dropship China Pro provides end-to-end services including factory-level product sourcing, quality inspection, private labeling and international shipping. The company handles over 30,000 parcels daily and serves more than 2,500 active e-commerce stores across dropshipping, print-on-demand and private label business models. Founded in 2016, the company combines China sourcing with domestic US delivery, supported by dedicated account management. Dropship China Pro maintains a 4.8 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot.

EAR Customized Hearing Protection Highlights Why Comfort Matters When Choosing Sleep Earplugs

BOULDER, CO - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
EAR Customized Hearing Protection is drawing attention to the role that comfort plays in selecting sleep earplugs, noting that devices worn continuously for several hours place different demands on wearers than those used for brief periods of noise exposure. The company, which produces individually fitted custom sleep earplugs for repeated nighttime use, outlined the factors that influence overnight comfort and consistency of fit.
The shape and sensitivity of the outer ear and ear canal vary considerably from person to person, and these differences can have a significant effect on comfort during extended wear. An earplug that performs adequately for short-term situations, such as a concert or a brief period of loud activity, may become uncomfortable when worn for an entire night. Pressure against sensitive areas of the ear canal can build over hours, leading many people to remove the earplug before morning.

Side sleepers face particular challenges. Pressure from the pillow against the ear can press an earplug further into the canal, and bulky or protruding designs can create uncomfortable pressure points. For this reason, low-profile designs and materials suited to extended wear are important considerations when selecting earplugs for sleeping.
Custom sleep earplugs are made from impressions of an individual's ears, allowing the finished product to follow the contours of each wearer's anatomy. According to the company, this individualized approach helps the earplug sit securely and comfortably through the night. By contrast, disposable foam and universal-fit options are produced in standard shapes that may not match a given ear, which can affect fit, overnight comfort, movement during sleep, and consistency of placement from one night to the next. Foam products also require repeated insertion and compression, introducing variation each time they are used.
A secure fit becomes especially relevant when people change sleeping positions throughout the night. Properly fitted sleep earplugs are designed to remain in position without frequent adjustment, reducing the disruptions that can occur when a loose earplug shifts or falls out.
"Comfort is not a secondary concern when an earplug is going to stay in the ear for seven or eight hours," said Garry Gordon, a representative of EAR Customized Hearing Protection. "A fit taken from a person's own ear impressions addresses the pressure points that often cause people to give up on standard products before the night is over."
Extended-wear comfort can be particularly important in a range of situations, including travel, hotel stays, shared sleeping environments, shift work that requires sleeping during daylight hours, and regular exposure to nighttime environmental noise. In each case, the ability to maintain a consistent, secure fit over many hours contributes to uninterrupted rest.
"The goal is an earplug that a person can forget is there," Gordon added. "Consistency of placement night after night is what separates a custom fit from something that has to be adjusted repeatedly."


EAR Customized Hearing Protection provides individually fitted custom sleep earplugs created from personal ear impressions for repeated nighttime use. The company focuses on fit, extended-wear comfort, and consistent placement for people who rely on hearing protection during sleep.

Executive Fence & Gate Reports Phase-One Fencing Scope at 90%

BYRON CENTER, MI - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Work at Holland High School includes temporary perimeter control, utility access, and permanent sports-field fencing within the district’s $16 million athletic-complex project.
Executive Fence & Gate reported that its phase-one fencing scope for Holland High School’s baseball and softball fields was approximately 90% complete as of Sept. 30, 2026. That percentage applies only to the contractor’s phase-one fencing work, which is one component of Holland Public Schools’ overall $16 million athletic-complex project.

Crews are coordinating temporary and permanent installations with GDK Construction Company and other trades. The district broke ground June 1 on work that includes new and renovated baseball, softball, and football facilities. Holland Public Schools has said the complex is expected to be ready for the 2027–2028 school year, with Holland High School’s first on-campus home football game planned for fall 2027.
Temporary perimeter fencing went up in June after school was dismissed, followed by permanent post installation in July. Before demolition began, the fencing crew established temporary site boundaries and controlled construction access. Those temporary sections must remain adaptable as excavation, underground utilities, and other work move through the complex.
The permanent first-phase scope covers the baseball and softball fields. It includes 8-foot black vinyl-coated chain-link fencing, 30-foot backstop netting systems, and logo padding along the lower three feet of the backstops. Stephens Pipe & Steel supplied fencing materials for the project.
“On a project of this size, installation is only one part of the work,” said Tyler Johnson, managing partner at Executive Fence & Gate. “Hitting deadlines, working with the other contractors, and keeping communication open are what keep the job moving. If crews do not know when others are arriving or what has changed, the schedule can turn quickly.”
The project schedule is refined through regular progress meetings and direct coordination with GDK, which is supervising the stadium work. Fence installation follows excavation and grading, while concrete crews work behind the fence crews to install maintenance strips around the new turf fields. Openings also have to remain available where equipment and other subcontractors still need access.
Utility work adds another timing requirement. The schedule calls for the existing perimeter fence to be opened at three points so crews can bring new water and sewer lines into the complex, then closed again after the work is finished. Johnson said those openings can come with only one or two days’ notice once road-closure permits and utility crews are ready.
That sequencing shows why construction fencing contractors are often scheduled alongside earthwork, utilities and concrete trades rather than treated as a single isolated installation. The Holland High School work provides a current field example of the contractor’s commercial fencing expansion, detailed in an earlier company announcement.
The 30-foot backstop netting is a newer element for many school athletic projects. Unlike a traditional chain-link backstop, the netting can be removed during winter and does not remain bent after repeated ball impacts. Johnson said the system requires crews to learn installation methods that improve efficiency while preserving proper tension and alignment.
“More schools are moving to net systems instead of chain-link backstops,” Johnson said. “They can be taken down during the winter, and they do not deform every time a ball hits them. That helps the backstop maintain its appearance longer.”
Johnson also reported on Sept. 30 that the baseball and softball fencing work was running ahead of its original construction sequence. Depending on the construction manager’s schedule, the fencing crew may be able to begin portions of the football-field scope before the work originally planned for spring.

CTO Migrations Helps Businesses Avoid SEO Traffic Loss During Website Migrations

October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Website migrations can create significant changes to how pages are structured, crawled, indexed, and discovered through organic search. While redesigns, rebrands, content management system changes, and domain transitions are often undertaken to improve a website, the process can also disrupt established search signals when SEO considerations are not addressed before launch.
Charles Taylor, Owner of Charles Taylor Online LLC, is highlighting the importance of incorporating SEO into migration planning before a new website goes live. Through CTO Migrations, Taylor provides guidance for organizations managing website transitions where changes to URLs, redirects, indexation, internal linking, and site structure could affect existing organic search performance.

“Website migrations are often treated as a development project, but the SEO impact can be just as significant as the technical changes themselves,” Taylor said. “A website can look and function correctly after launch while still experiencing a decline in organic visibility because important search signals were not properly carried over.”
The potential impact is greater for websites that have accumulated years of organic search visibility. Existing pages may have backlinks, rankings, indexed content, internal links, and other signals that have developed over time. When URLs or site structures change, those connections need to be considered as part of the transition.
Redirects are one of the most important elements of a migration, but they are only one part of the process. Incomplete redirect mappings, incorrect configurations, changes to internal links, indexation problems, and overlooked pages can create issues that may not be immediately apparent after launch.
Taylor said SEO planning should begin before development or implementation reaches its final stages.
“One of the most common problems with migrations is that SEO gets brought into the process too late,” Taylor said. “By the time traffic declines become visible, some of the decisions that caused the problem may already be difficult or expensive to reverse.”
A structured migration process can begin with an assessment of the existing website. This may include reviewing current URLs, identifying pages with established search visibility, examining internal linking structures, documenting redirect requirements, and determining which pages need to remain accessible or be mapped to new destinations.
The process also requires consideration of how search engines will interpret the changes after launch. New URLs need to be discoverable and indexable, while redirects and other technical signals need to clearly communicate the relationship between previous and replacement pages.
The type of migration can also influence the level of SEO risk involved. A redesign may change page templates, navigation, content organization, and URLs. A content management system migration can alter technical configurations or page paths. A rebrand may involve a domain change, while a domain consolidation can require redirects across a large number of existing pages.
International websites can introduce additional considerations. Changes involving regional domains, multilingual content, international URL structures, and hreflang implementation can affect how search engines understand the relationships between versions of a website intended for different markets.
CTO Migrations works with marketing directors, SEO professionals, developers, website owners, and agencies involved in these types of projects. Its migration support can include planning, URL analysis, redirect reviews, technical guidance, documentation, and post-launch monitoring.
Taylor said the size of a migration does not necessarily determine its SEO risk.
“The size of a migration is not always the best indicator of its risk,” Taylor said. “A relatively small change can affect important pages if those pages have established search visibility. The key is understanding what is changing, what needs to remain connected, and how those changes will be monitored after launch.”
Post-launch monitoring is another important consideration. A successful website launch does not necessarily mean that organic search performance has been preserved. Search engines may need time to recrawl pages, process redirects, discover new URLs, and update indexed information.
Monitoring during this period can help identify unexpected changes in rankings, organic traffic, indexation, crawl behavior, redirects, and other search-related signals. Identifying those changes early can give website teams an opportunity to investigate problems before they become more difficult to resolve.
The timing of that monitoring can also matter. Comparing pre-migration data with post-launch performance gives teams a baseline for determining whether changes are related to the migration or reflect normal fluctuations in organic search performance. Reviewing important URLs individually can also help identify issues that may be hidden within overall traffic numbers.
CTO Migrations provides both guided and full-service support for organizations managing migration projects. Guided engagements allow internal marketing, SEO, and development teams to carry out the migration while receiving strategic oversight and guidance. Full-service engagements can involve more extensive documentation, recurring consultation, hands-on support, and training based on the organization's requirements.
The approach is intended to account for the fact that website migrations are rarely handled by a single department. Marketing teams may be responsible for business objectives and content, developers may manage implementation, SEO teams may oversee search-related requirements, and leadership may be responsible for broader business decisions. Without clear coordination, important migration requirements can be missed between teams.
Taylor brings more than 20 years of hands-on enterprise SEO experience to his work. His professional background includes in-house SEO leadership roles with Fox Corporation, Verizon, and Lexis-Nexis. He has also presented SEO-related information at industry events and publishes educational material covering search optimization and website migration topics.
That experience has informed the migration processes and checklists used by CTO Migrations, with an emphasis on identifying potential problems before they affect a live website.
“The purpose of CTO Migrations is not simply to respond when traffic has already been lost,” Taylor said. “The larger opportunity is to identify migration risks before launch, document the necessary changes, and give the people involved a clear process to follow.”
For organizations planning a redesign, rebrand, CMS transition, domain change, or international website migration, addressing SEO before launch can provide a more structured way to manage changes to established search signals. Reviewing URLs, planning redirects, evaluating technical configurations, and monitoring performance after launch can help teams identify potential issues as the transition progresses.

Gateway Express Car Wash Releases First-Timer’s Guide to Automatic Tunnel Washes for Riverside Drivers

RIVERSIDE, CA - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
For many drivers, the first trip through an automatic car wash comes with a few nerves: the rumble of the conveyor, the wall of foam, and the worry that something might scratch the paint or go wrong partway through the tunnel. Gateway Express Car Wash, which operates an express tunnel wash at 3751 Van Buren Boulevard, has released a step-by-step guide explaining what happens during an automatic wash and what first-time customers, new car owners, and electric vehicle drivers should do before, during, and after the ride through. 
The topic draws steady interest online. Keyword data from Semrush for the U.S. market, retrieved in October 2026, estimates that the phrase “how to go through a car wash” is searched about 1,000 times a month, while questions about whether car washes damage or scratch a vehicle are searched roughly 2,900 times a month combined. Newer vehicles add another layer of questions. In a January 20, 2026 announcement, the California Energy Commission reported that zero-emission vehicles accounted for 18.9% of new car sales in California in the fourth quarter of 2025, and many of those vehicles have settings that affect how they behave in an automatic wash.

An express tunnel wash takes about three minutes at Gateway Express Car Wash, and the driver does not steer at any point. The driver stays inside the vehicle with the doors and windows closed while a conveyor moves the car through foam, light touch scrubbing, rinsing, and drying stages.
The visit starts at the entrance, where the driver chooses a wash package. A team member then checks the vehicle before it moves forward and guides the driver into position on the conveyor, so there is no need to line up the wheels alone. Drivers who are new to automatic washes are encouraged to tell the team member at the entrance, who can walk through each step before the wash begins.
Before reaching the entrance, a few minutes of preparation help the wash go smoothly. Drivers should close all windows and the sunroof, lower or remove any antenna that does not retract on its own, and remove bike racks, cargo carriers, and other items mounted on the outside of the vehicle. Folding in the side mirrors, on vehicles that allow it, adds extra clearance. Drivers with lifted trucks, dual rear wheels, oversized tires, or aftermarket exterior accessories should ask a team member before entering the tunnel.
Newer vehicles may need one or two settings changed. Rain-sensing windshield wipers should be switched off so they do not activate in the spray, and automatic brake-hold features should be turned off so the car can roll freely on the conveyor. Some electric vehicles include a dedicated setting. Tesla, for example, offers a Car Wash Mode that closes the windows, locks the charge port, disables the automatic wipers, and allows the car to roll in neutral through a conveyor wash. Because procedures differ by make and model, drivers of electric, hybrid, and other late-model vehicles should follow the instructions in their owner’s manual.
Once the car is on the conveyor, the driver’s role is limited. Drivers follow the team member’s directions and the posted signs, which at conveyor washes generally involve shifting into neutral, taking hands off the steering wheel, and keeping feet off the pedals while the conveyor carries the vehicle through the tunnel. At the exit, drivers wait for the signal to proceed, shift back into drive, and pull forward.
Concerns about scratches are among the most common questions from first-time customers. Gateway Express Car Wash uses a light touch system, in which soft cleaning material works together with foam and soap to loosen road film and grime. Its higher wash packages add wash-applied protectants, including sealer wax, a ceramic product, and a graphene product. These treatments are applied during the wash and provide a temporary layer of shine and water beading. They are not the same as professionally installed paint coatings and are designed to be refreshed with regular washing.
After the wash, many customers use the location’s free vacuum stations and floor mat cleaning machines to finish the interior. Every wash includes a dashboard wipe and an air freshener. According to the company’s published mission statement, Gateway Express Car Wash aims to provide a fast, clean car wash experience with friendly, attentive service so that customers feel confident in the care their vehicle receives.
As of October 8, 2026, Gateway Express Car Wash’s Riverside location held an average rating of 4.8 stars across 61 reviews on its Google Business Profile, with reviewers frequently mentioning staff friendliness and the cleanliness of the facility.
Single washes at the location range from $12 to $25 across four packages. The Unlimited Wash Club, a monthly membership that covers unlimited washes at a chosen package level, ranges from $22.95 to $39.95 per month. Current hours, prices, and membership details are posted at gatewaycw.com/riverside, and first-time customers with questions can call the team at (951) 977-9900 before their visit.
Gateway Express Car Wash operates express tunnel car washes in Riverside and Long Beach, California. Both locations offer four single-wash packages, Unlimited Wash Club memberships, free vacuum stations, fleet accounts, gift cards, and community fundraising programs. Gateway Express Car Wash is operated by Riverside Express LLC. For more information, visit gatewaycw.com.

Seatylock Addresses E-Bike Security Gap Behind Campus Thefts of Secured Bicycles

Dover, Delaware - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
A series of autumn campus crime reports showing that some stolen electric bicycles were already locked has prompted mobility security brand Seatylock to clarify the technical difference between a bike that is locked and one that is securely anchored.
The University of Pennsylvania's weekly crime report released October 6, covering September 21 through 27, documented multiple thefts from bike racks, including two secured electric bicycles along with several secured electric scooters and conventional bicycles. The pattern extends beyond a single institution. On September 28, the University of Delaware noted that thefts of e-scooters and e-bikes have become increasingly common on university campuses nationwide, advising riders to use a high-quality U-lock, park in well-lit areas and register their devices. UW-Madison Police reported three electric bicycle and scooter thefts in a single week in early September, connecting the risk to the return-to-campus period and recommending that riders secure the frame and wheels to a fixed object.

Arizona State University identified bike and scooter theft as the leading property crime on its Tempe campus, while reporting that thefts had declined by more than 40 percent over three years amid improved racks, cameras and rider education. That decline indicates that security behavior and infrastructure can change outcomes.
The reports raise a question for riders who believed their bikes were protected: how can a secured e-bike still be stolen. According to Seatylock, the answer lies in the distinction between locking a bike and securely anchoring it.
Seatylock has published educational resources that address these points in detail. The Seatylock Guide to Locking an E-Bike to a Rack explains how to capture the frame and rear wheel together with a fixed anchor and how the correct lock path varies between U-locks, folding locks and chain locks.
"Many riders think of locking as a yes-or-no action, but for an e-bike it is a system," said Michael Shenkerman, CEO and Co-Founder of Seatylock. "The better question is not whether the bike was locked, but what was locked, what it was locked to, what rating the lock carries and what parts remain removable. A lock that captures only a wheel, or that fails to connect the frame to an immovable rack, leaves the most valuable components exposed."
The Seatylock Guide to Choosing an E-Bike Lock examines how bike value, parking duration and theft exposure should inform lock selection, and why wider tires, larger tubing and step-through frames affect which lock fits correctly.
Shenkerman also pointed to certification as a practical reference point. "Proprietary security scores vary from brand to brand, so they are difficult to compare," he said. "Independent standards such as Sold Secure give riders a consistent benchmark across products." The broader Seatylock E-Bike Security Guide covers certified locks, correct technique, component protection, parking decisions, electronic deterrents and documentation for recovery.

Founded in 2008, Seatylock designs and manufactures independently certified bike security products, including folding locks, U-locks, chain locks, seat-lock hybrids, detachable seats and accessory protection systems. The company holds independent certifications and international patents, and treats the lock as part of the everyday cycling experience under its approach, "Protection Perfected by Design."

El Tiempo Cantina Hosts Holiday Football Visitors at Kirby Location Near Reliant Stadium

HOUSTON, TX - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
El Tiempo Cantina Kirby, the family-owned Tex-Mex group's restaurant at 2360 S Loop W, Houston, TX near Reliant Stadium, formerly NRG Stadium, is inviting Houston hosts and their out-of-town guests to plan a meal around the Houston Texans' two holiday-season home games. The matchups fall on Sunday, November 29, against the Baltimore Ravens and Sunday, December 20, against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Both games are scheduled for noon kickoffs on Sundays, when the Kirby location serves weekend brunch from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The brunch menu includes chilaquiles sauteed in guajillo sauce and served with eggs, huevos rancheros, tacos de barbacoa and Migas Tejano. The restaurant stays open until 9 p.m. on Sundays for groups that gather after the game.
"When visiting family comes to town for a game, the meal becomes part of their introduction to Houston," said Domenic Laurenzo, Executive Chef and Owner for El Tiempo Cantina. "The game may bring everyone here, but the table is where people slow down and spend time together."
El Tiempo Cantina traces its cooking to Ninfa Laurenzo, known to Houstonians as Mama Ninfa, who introduced fajitas in her restaurants in 1973, according to the company's history. At El Tiempo Cantina Kirby, the menu's Mama Ninfa's Favorites section includes the Chile Relleno a La Ninfa, an egg-battered poblano with carnitas, cheese, raisins, pecans and cinnamon, along with a pork tamale plate and a carne guisada plate.
Fajitas remain central to the menu. Eater Houston's June 2026 guide to restaurants around the stadium lists the location and describes its mesquite-grilled beef fajitas as arriving "smoky and caramelized at the edges," served with handmade flour tortillas, guacamole, pico de gallo and charro beans.
For larger holiday gatherings, the restaurant lists its back dining area as semi-private seating for up to 80 guests, and groups interested in a full buyout can arrange details directly with the restaurant.
"The holiday weeks bring a steady mix of locals and travelers, and advance planning helps larger parties find a comfortable spot," Domenic Laurenzo added. "Hosts are encouraged to reach out early to discuss dates and group size."
Guests staying through the week can visit from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and from 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday. During Taco Tuesdays, all soft and crispy tacos are buy one, get one, all day. On Thursdays, the Enchilada Especial, introduced in October 2026, serves two enchiladas with rice and beans for 14.99 dollars, dine-in only.
The Kirby location sits at Kirby Drive and the 610 South Loop near Reliant Park, formerly NRG Park, and marked its first year there in September 2026, as detailed in the company's anniversary announcement. Menus and hours are available on the restaurant's Google Maps listing.
About El Tiempo Cantina


El Tiempo Cantina is a family-owned Tex-Mex restaurant group founded in Houston in 1998 by Roland Laurenzo and his son Domenic Laurenzo, continuing the culinary legacy of Ninfa Laurenzo, who is credited with popularizing fajitas in Houston. The group operates neighborhood restaurants across Greater Houston. Its menu centers on mesquite-grilled fajitas, handmade flour tortillas and margaritas made with 100 percent agave tequila.

Greetwell Opens 30,000 Travel Experiences to AI Agents

PALO ALTO, CA - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
As planning trips with AI goes mainstream, the AI-native marketplace makes tours and activities bookable by personal agents, including Meta's Muse and Instinct, and plans to support the new Personal Agent Protocol.
Greetwell, the AI-native marketplace for travel experiences, today announced that it has surpassed 30,000 bookable experiences and opened its catalog to personal AI agents. Through Greetwell, agents can discover tours, tastings, charters and outdoor adventures, check real-time availability and help travelers turn recommendations into reservations.
The announcement comes as a new generation of personal AI agents, including Meta’s Muse and Instinct, begins handling everyday tasks on behalf of consumers. Greetwell also plans to support the Personal Agent Protocol, a new open standard announced October 6 by Sierra and Meta to help AI agents interact securely with businesses.
Travel is emerging as one of the first industries where AI is moving from giving advice to taking action. In Greetwell’s 2026 AI Travel Report, a survey of 1,000 U.S. leisure travelers, nearly half reported using AI to plan a trip, rising to three in four travelers under 35. But while AI has made travel planning easier, actually booking the experiences that make a trip memorable remains surprisingly complicated.
Unlike flights and hotels, tours and activities are offered by thousands of independent businesses, often operating with just a handful of guides, vehicles or boats. Availability changes constantly, and even a great recommendation is only useful if the experience can actually be booked.
Greetwell bridges that gap by connecting agents to live inventory from operators’ own reservation systems. Through its public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for things to do, compatible agents can discover experiences, retrieve current pricing and availability, and direct travelers to complete bookings with Greetwell. Every reservation identifies the local operator delivering the experience, while Greetwell handles payment, confirmation and customer support.
“An AI agent can recommend a boat tour in seconds. The hard part is knowing whether that boat actually has six seats available on Saturday, what it costs, and getting the reservation confirmed,” said Francis Larkin, CEO and co-founder of Greetwell. “We want travelers to be able to go from ‘find me something great to do’ to a real, confirmed experience, without doing all the legwork themselves.”
But a confirmed booking is only part of a successful trip. Weather changes, meeting points can be confusing, and plans sometimes go wrong. Many local operators spend their days leading tours or running excursions rather than staffing customer service desks, making timely assistance especially important. Greetwell gives travelers a single, dependable point of contact before, during and after their experience, coordinating directly with operators to help resolve issues when they arise.
For independent operators, the approach also creates a way to reach travelers through emerging AI platforms without having to develop their own integrations or build dedicated customer support infrastructure.
Greetwell will continue expanding its catalog and supporting emerging AI platforms, positioning the marketplace as the bridge between personal AI agents and the local businesses that deliver memorable travel experiences.
About Greetwell
Greetwell is an AI-native marketplace connecting travelers with local tours, activities and experiences across more than 500 destinations. Founded by vacation rental hosts, Greetwell combines bookable inventory from independent operators with concierge support before, during and after every experience.

Plumbing Supply and More Expands Authorized Myers Pump Lineup for Well, Sump, and Sewage Applications

Caln Township, Pennsylvania - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Selecting the correct pump for a given water-handling job remains one of the most consequential decisions a contractor or homeowner can make, and industry data consistently shows that mismatched equipment is among the leading reasons pumps underperform or fail before their expected service life. Choosing the wrong Myers pump type or horsepower for an application, whether a shallow well, a deep well, a residential basement sump, or a commercial sewage system, can lead to short cycling, inadequate flow, and premature replacement. For that reason, dealer expertise and inventory depth often matter as much as the pump itself.
Plumbing Supply and More, an authorized dealer, carries a Myers pump lineup built to address that range of applications. The catalog spans submersible well pumps, including multi-stage stainless steel deep well models, along with jet pumps suited to shallow well applications. For basement flood protection, the company stocks sump pumps in both submersible and pedestal configurations, and it offers sewage and effluent pumps for wastewater management as well as specialty options such as emergency flood pump kits. Construction materials range from stainless steel to cast iron for corrosion resistance across residential and light commercial settings.
The practical differences between pump types often guide the right choice. Submersible pumps are generally better suited to flood-prone basements because they operate fully underwater and more quietly, while pedestal pumps provide easier motor access and a lower upfront cost for moderate-moisture applications. Sizing a unit with some reserve capacity above current demand can also help owners avoid premature replacement as needs grow over time.
To help buyers navigate those variables, the company provides technical guidance through an in-house technical advisor who works with contractors and homeowners to match horsepower, flow rate, and head capacity to the specific application rather than estimating from a limited retail selection.
"The difference between a pump that lasts and one that fails early usually comes down to matching the equipment to the job," said a spokesperson for Plumbing Supply and More. "A deep well, a shallow well, and a commercial sewage line each place different demands on a pump, and getting the horsepower, flow, and head capacity right from the start is what prevents problems later."
The availability of the Myers Pump on Plumbing Supply And More reflects the company's broader positioning as a full-service supply house. The business stocks more than 20,000 parts across multiple warehouses, offers wholesale pricing, provides shipping on qualifying orders, and maintains a 30-day return policy. That depth positions the Plumbing Supply And More Myers Pump selection as a trade-grade source compared with the narrower assortment typically found at general retail outlets.
"Inventory depth means a contractor does not have to settle for whatever happens to be on a nearby shelf," the spokesperson added. "Having the full range on hand lets buyers select the correct unit instead of adapting a job to the wrong pump."

The expansion enables the company to serve both large-scale commercial facilities and residential properties with complete installation, replacement, repair, and ongoing maintenance.

"Demand has continued to rise across the Metroplex, and the broader service capacity means more facilities can access timely installation and repair."
The company, based in Irving Texas, emphasizes energy-saving solutions that support both cost reduction and environmental responsibility.

Harmony & Healing Publishes 75 Statistics on Music and Healing

San Ramon, California - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Harmony & Healing, a nonprofit that brings free live music performances to patients and residents in healthcare facilities, has published 75 Music and Healing Statistics (September 2026), a sourced research resource released September 30, 2026, at https://www.harmonyandhealing.org/music-and-healing-statistics/. The resource gathers findings on how people respond to live and recorded music across hospital, hospice, dementia, cancer, and aging contexts, with each statistic traced to the peer-reviewed journal, federal agency, national survey, or research group that produced it.
Every figure on the page is dated and credited; the page is reviewed monthly, and it includes six charts drawn by Harmony & Healing from the published numbers. The page states plainly that none of the research claims music cures anything, and it flags small studies and weak evidence where they appear.

Several of the compiled findings concern live music specifically. In a small randomized trial of 32 people with moderate to severe dementia and apathy, 69% engaged positively with live interactive music, against 25% with pre-recorded music and 12.5% during silence (International Psychogeriatrics, December 2006). Among 111 cancer inpatients in Italy, state anxiety fell 3.87 points after weekly 45- to 60-minute live concerts held on oncology units (European Journal of Cancer Care, November 2017). In a randomized pilot trial of 90 hemodialysis patients in Spain, four weeks of live classical music during treatment lowered anxiety scores by 5.35 points and depression scores by 5.88 points on average (PLoS One, August 2024).
Other statistics place these findings in a broader context. In a 14-year study of 6,710 adults aged 50 and older in England, people who went to concerts, theatre, museums or galleries every few months or more had a 31% lower risk of dying during follow-up than those who never did; the study was observational and cannot prove cause (The BMJ, December 2019). For the first time, 53.1% of all Medicare decedents in 2024 were enrolled in hospice at the time of death (National Alliance for Care at Home, 2025 Edition). An estimated 7.4 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's in 2026 (Alzheimer's Association, 2026 Edition). In 2024, 33% of U.S. adults aged 50 to 80 felt lonely some of the time or often (University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging, December 2024). Giving to health organizations rose 6.1% to an estimated $61.43 billion in 2025 (Giving USA Foundation, June 2026).
Harmony and Healing live music performances are given by professional musicians who play for groups of patients and residents in the common areas, day rooms, and lounges of hospitals, hospices, and care facilities. Facilities never pay for a visit and patients and families never pay anything, as donors cover the cost. Facilities served include George Mark Children's House, a pediatric hospice, and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, and the organization began virtual visits with veterans at the Martinez VA Hospital in 2023.
"The research keeps pointing to something musicians see in the room," said David Victor, Founder and Executive Director of Harmony & Healing. "People respond to music played live and together, and that is exactly what the data describes. The goal of this resource is to let the findings speak for themselves, with every number tied to its source and the limits noted honestly."

Harmony & Healing provides free live group music performances for patients and residents of hospitals, hospices and care facilities in the Bay Area. Harmony and Healing is based at 11040 Bollinger Canyon Road, Suite E-938, San Ramon, CA 94582, and can be reached at (925) 236-0217 or at www.harmonyandhealing.org.

Blue Sky Bistro Highlights Private Parties for Celebrations in Morro Bay

MORRO BAY, CA - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Planning a celebration along California's Central Coast often begins with finding a setting that matches the occasion, and Blue Sky Bistro continues to welcome hosts exploring a waterfront restaurant for group gatherings in Morro Bay. The seafood restaurant, situated on the Embarcadero overlooking the bay, accommodates guests organizing birthdays, anniversaries, and family get-togethers who are considering a casual coastal backdrop for their event.
Blue Sky Bistro offers private parties as part of its ongoing services, giving celebration organizers an option that pairs group dining with a view of the water. The offering reflects the restaurant's established role as a gathering place for both local residents and visitors traveling through the region. Rather than a newly introduced package, the private-party service remains an existing part of how the establishment serves groups seeking a shared meal in a relaxed environment.

The restaurant's coastal setting provides context for occasions built around food and conversation. Located on the waterfront, Blue Sky Bistro centers its menu on fresh seafood and the catch of the day, alongside breakfast, lunch, and dinner selections and a range of beverages that includes wine. For those weighing where to hold a milestone meal, the atmosphere overlooking Morro Bay places a celebration within a scenic stretch of the Central Coast.
Hosts interested in private parties in Morro Bay CA are encouraged to discuss their plans directly with the restaurant before making arrangements. Organizers who share their preferred date, expected guest count, and specific dining needs can help the team understand the scope of a gathering and determine how group dining would be accommodated within the available space. Early conversation allows both the host and the restaurant to align expectations for the occasion.
The owner Roger Sharp mentioned in this post that gatherings bring an added energy to the waterfront location. "Groups come here because the setting does part of the work. The goal is to make the planning conversation simple for anyone marking a special moment."
The emphasis on advance discussion reflects the practical nature of group dining, where guest counts and seating arrangements shape how an event comes together. By inviting hosts to connect early, the restaurant positions itself to support a range of occasions while keeping the experience grounded in its everyday coastal dining character.
Sharp added that flexibility begins with understanding what each host has in mind. "Every gathering is different, and discussing details ahead of time helps ensure a group feels comfortable," Sharp said. "The waterfront view and the seafood focus tend to set the tone for the rest."
Those considering private parties at Blue Sky Bistro in Morro Bay can explore the option as part of their celebration planning, keeping in mind that arrangements are shaped through conversation rather than fixed offerings.

CellVital Expands Access to Interval Oxygen Training Sessions and Equipment Support in Switzerland

Untersiggenthal, Aargau - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
CellVital, the Intervall-Hypoxie-Hyperoxie-Anwendung (IHHT) brand of Fit 4 Life AG in Siggenthal Station, is broadening its focus on supervised interval oxygen training as demand grows among Swiss practitioners and studios for regeneration-oriented applications. Established in 2017, the company continues to pair sessions at its own centre with equipment delivered to practices, alongside instruction and ongoing technical support.
At the heart of the offering is a session format in which a guest breathes through a mask while the delivered air alternates between lower and higher oxygen content. Intervals are configured individually for each guest and monitored throughout, allowing the duration and intensity of each phase to be adjusted to the person taking part. The approach centres on the adaptability of the organism and on mitochondrial energy metabolism, with the session itself remaining fully supervised from start to finish.

CellVital operates within the Swiss regulatory framework for this field, including the Medical Devices Ordinance (MepV) and oversight by Swissmedic. In line with that framework, the company describes what a session involves and how its equipment functions rather than attributing specific health outcomes. The distinction matters to practitioners who integrate the application into broader regeneration concepts and who require clarity about the role each component plays.
Beyond IHHT, the brand's wider portfolio addresses several areas of regeneration and measurement. This includes RIFETECH Plasma, which generates electromagnetic fields in the low and medium frequency range through a contactless application; the LifePowerStation, which combines three-dimensional sound, recovery imagery, gentle massage and elements of a power nap into a multisensory regeneration format; and HRV and HBA tools, which use heart rate variability to provide objective information on stress levels, vegetative balance and regeneration ability for planning and progress tracking.
Support forms a central part of the cellvital.ch service, which accompanies practices and studios after a purchase or rental decision. The service team assists in the event of a repair, during manufacturer-prescribed maintenance intervals, and when consumable materials need to be reordered. The company also provides storage options and a technical department available for maintenance matters, reflecting an emphasis on keeping installed equipment operational over the long term.
For practitioners considering the equipment, the range of cellvital.ch products extends from the interval oxygen training systems to the complementary regeneration and measurement devices, each supplied with instruction and practical guidance. The company additionally runs seminars for practitioners, covering topics that range from diagram interpretation to the handling of consumables, and offers various financing options for practice solutions.
The current expansion reflects a steady increase in interest from Swiss practices seeking to add structured, individually monitored regeneration applications to their work. By combining centre-based sessions with equipment, instruction and continuing support, CellVital positions its offering as a connected system rather than a single product.


CellVital is the IHHT brand of Fit 4 Life AG, based in Siggenthal Station, Switzerland. Founded in 2017 and led by owner Michael Back, the company specialises in cell health and regeneration, providing supervised sessions, equipment for practices and studios, technical support and practitioner seminars across Switzerland.

daylight AG Expands Student Information System Solutions for Swiss Educational Institutions

Winterthur, ZH - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
daylight AG, a Swiss software company based in Winterthur, has broadened its suite of integrated administrative solutions designed to support schools, training providers, and educational organizations across Switzerland. The expansion reflects growing demand among educational institutions for unified digital systems that consolidate school administration, course management, examination processing, event coordination, and accounting into a single platform.
Educational institutions throughout Switzerland face increasing pressure to modernize operations while managing complex administrative workloads. A comprehensive student information system that centralizes these functions allows schools to reduce manual processes, improve data accuracy, and allocate more resources toward teaching and learning outcomes. daylight AG develops its software specifically for these needs, combining people and address management, registration handling, resource disposition, marketing, and financial accounting within one modular environment.

The company's platform is built to adapt to the individual processes of each organization it serves. Institutions can deploy the software either on-premise or through a cloud service, integrating it seamlessly into existing IT environments. The system also connects with leading financial applications, supporting consistent record-keeping across departments. These capabilities are documented further at pressadvantage.com/organization/daylight-ag, where the company maintains an ongoing record of its software developments.
With more than two decades of experience in educational technology, daylight AG has positioned its solutions to serve a wide range of users, including schools, small and medium-sized enterprises, and independent training providers. The software supports multilingual operation, reflecting the needs of Switzerland's diverse educational landscape. Features such as online portal and e-shop creation allow institutions to automate registration, confirmation, and payment workflows for courses, seminars, and events.
The company has introduced a series of updates to its product line in recent months. These developments have addressed school administration tasks, event management, course management, and accounting functions for education providers. Each update has focused on streamlining administrative work and strengthening the automation that underpins daily operations at educational institutions.
Administrative teams at schools and training organizations manage substantial volumes of data, from student records and course enrollments to examination results and financial transactions. Consolidating these elements within a single student information system reduces duplication and the risk of error that can arise when information is spread across separate tools. daylight AG designs its platform around this principle of unified management, aiming to simplify the workload for administrators while maintaining data integrity.
Additional information about the company and its range of services is available at daylight-ag.localo.site. The company's location in Winterthur can be found at maps.app.goo.gl/FYDvnuHbdtTgjGRaA.

BlindQuest Releases Homeowner Guide Comparing Custom and Off the Shelf Window Treatments

TROY, IL - October 13, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
BlindQuest Inc. has published a new homeowner guide detailing five measurable distinctions between custom fitted blinds and stock-size, off the shelf window treatments. The family-owned Troy, Illinois company released the guide to help Metro East residents understand how a precise fit affects the daily performance of their window coverings.
The guide centers on five distinctions that separate custom window treatments from mass-produced alternatives. A precise fit reduces the gaps that appear when stock blinds are mounted on windows they were not sized for. Tighter coverage affects light control, allowing homeowners to manage glare and brightness room by room. A closer fit also influences insulation at the window, where heat is frequently lost or gained. Custom construction matches components to each opening rather than trimming or adjusting them after the fact, which affects product lifespan. The guide also notes that custom orders involve a wider range of materials and colors that can be selected for the function and style of each room.
The guide explains that these distinctions are among the benefits of choosing custom blinds, particularly for older or specialty-shaped windows that rarely conform to standard dimensions. BlindQuest notes that its on-site measuring and installation process is structured so that each set is fitted to its specific opening before mounting.
"Stock blinds are built for an average window, and most windows are not average," said Carly Shaffer of BlindQuest. "When a measurement is off by even a fraction, homeowners end up with light leaks, drafts, and blinds that never quite sit right. The guide walks people through how a precise fit changes the way a window treatment functions, not just how it looks."
The company serves communities throughout the Metro East, offering custom blinds for homes in Madison County as well as neighboring St. Clair and Clinton counties. As an authorized Hunter Douglas Gallery, BlindQuest carries shades, blinds, shutters, verticals, and awnings from brands including Hunter Douglas, Carole Fabrics, Alta, and SunPro. The guide addresses homeowners researching custom blinds Edwardsville IL and surrounding areas, where on-site consultation and installation services are available across the region.
Shaffer added that the guide also addresses common questions about turnaround time, cost comparisons, and whether custom orders can accommodate unusual window shapes. "People often assume custom means complicated," she said. "The measuring is handled by staff, the installation is handled by certified installers, and the homeowner chooses what fits the room."
BlindQuest provides window treatments Madison County residents can have measured and installed by in-house staff rather than outside contractors. The company uses licensed, bonded, and certified installers and applies a workmanship guarantee to its work. The guide and the company's on-site consultation are both offered at no charge.


BlindQuest is a family-owned and operated company based in Troy, Illinois, specializing in custom window treatments. As an authorized Hunter Douglas Gallery, the company offers blinds, shades, shutters, and drapery, along with on-site consultation, professional installation, and a Hunter Douglas Repair Center. BlindQuest serves communities across Madison County, St. Clair County, and Clinton County.
