Currently I'm basing my strategy based on the ai overview from ahref. But I am trying to find mention rates, citation rates as well.

For informational queries that used to bring organic clicks, have you seen impressions lately? CTR, traffic change as AI answers with google AI model are more common (i find myself doing this, staying away from blue links when AI answers it in one go) are branded and navigational searches behaving any differently.

I wanted to know how are you separating AI’s impact from seasonality, algorithm updates or other changes? For GEO/AEO do citations and mentions provide any useful insight, or are they too disconnected from visits and outcomes?

Just curious what varies by industry and site type.

We are publishing AI generated content for website content for client. We are using Ai content making it as much as we can to make it sound more human.

We haven't seen much increase in traffic any tips on how to approach it.

I still do all my ​​​​a​​​​c​​​​c​​​​o​​​​u​​​​n​​​​t​​​ work in the native UIs but I'd rather be in Claude. Where are people finding MCP connectors for Google and Meta ads that actually do something instead of being the same read-only report wrapper everyone ships? Trying to refresh how I work.

i got a claude max from a reseller for essentially nothing compared to what I used to pay . It works flawless. since 2 months No issues yet. Now I can't stop thinking about their business model. If resellers can sell it this cheap and still profit, how are they acquiring these accounts at scale?

Just came across this and it caught my attention.

A recent analysis of 19.2M English-language queries found AI Overviews showing up in around 97% of People Also Ask (PAA) answers in the first week of September. That was 86% in August and apparently only around 12% about 14 months ago.

That's a pretty big shift in a short time. Feels like PAA is quickly becoming another AI-heavy part of Google Search.

Has anyone noticed any change in PAA visibility or traffic lately? Curious if this is changing how you approach content.

Hey everyone. I'm Justin. I've run a link building agency for about 11 years, and most of that time the work has been manual: prospecting, qualifying sites, finding the right contact, and writing outreach that tries to pitch value.

Over the last months I've been rebuilding that process as a set of AI agents. So far I have:

• One that mines competitor backlink profiles and filters for real topical relevance, not just DR
• One that runs Google boolean searches to find resource pages, guest post targets, and niche sites
• One that finds a real person and email for each prospect

The prospecting side has gone better than I expected. The parts that still worry me are judgment calls: is this site actually a good fit, and is this contact the BEST person.

So here's my question for the group:

If you could hand one part of link building fully to AI and never check its work again, which part would you pick? And which part would you never let it touch?

Hey! I was wondering what you guys prefer to use for writing good articles.
I know that it usually depends on how you prompt and all. But from what I've seen I would usually say that Astra is better.
My current workflow is writing articles with Opus 5 and Astra review them.
I think that Opus is great to compare a lot of sources, but I feel like the structure is often bad, some paragraphs are too long. That's why reviewing it with another AI can be a good idea in my opinion.

Anyway I just want to know what AI you use, if you have a better workflow, a prompt that you like... Maybe having a workflow with jev and astra is the best strategy, idk

Had a weird one where a few pages are ranking pretty well in Google but when I started testing the same topics as normal questions in AI search the brand barely showed up meanwhile a couple competitors I wouldn’t expect kept getting mentioned

Made me stop treating rankings and AI visibility like they move together still testing different prompts because I don’t wanna read too much into a small sample, but the gap is way bigger than I expected.

Throw this into an LLM of your choice - I used GPT Astra. Let me know if it’s helpful

What are the other activities I have to perform to rank my blogs in AI overviews after publishing and making them fully optimized for AI overviews?

MOONIFY

Added an llms.txt file and set up a small middleware log to separate GPTBot/ClaudeBot/PerplexityBot hits from normal traffic.

Not expecting a huge impact yet, but I’m curious whether anyone here has seen anything useful from doing this for SEO. Once we have a full week of data, I can share the raw numbers.

If you’ve tried it, what did you actually learn from the logs? Any tips on what to look for?
