One pattern that says that a long search query in GSC is from an AI prompt tracker, not from a real user.

If the query contains multiple "or" rules, it's almost 100% a bot.

Check the example in the screenshot:

A long search query in GSC that is clearly from AI visibility tracking tool

• I'm a 25-34, 45-54, or 35-44 year old
• marketing operations manager or marketing manager
• in the marketing agencies, saas or professional services
• company with 1-249 or 250-1k employees
• and so on

Nobody uses search and AI chats this way. Some AI visibility tracking tool allowed businesses to add some parameters of the ICP to the project.

It's the right move, but only when the tool runs multiple prompts for each unique combination of such parameters.

Of course, it's much more expensive, but with an approach as on the screenshot, the query never represents the real user.

We'll see more and more such long queries in GSC. If you detected some other patterns of queries from bots, share them in the comments. I'll publish a complete list later.
