Welcome to this week’s Pulse. The updates affect how you measure AI assistant traffic, what structured data does for visibility, and how a major publisher is planning for life after search. Here’s what matters for you and your work. Google Analytics Adds Native AI Assistant Channel Google Analytics now assigns traffic from recognized AI chatbots […]
Google Analytics added an “AI Assistant” default channel group for traffic from recognized AI chatbot referrers, with Google naming ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude as examples. GA4 property owners no longer need to build custom channel groups with regex patterns to separate AI assistant visits from referrals. Until now, all AI chatbot traffic landed in the […]
If your organic traffic is down but your pipeline looks fine, you’re not imagining it. AI-generated answers are intercepting the journey earlier, meaning users are getting what they need from a citation or a recommendation before they ever hit your site. The click never happens. But the influence did. For more on this, see our […]
The sign on AI-referred traffic conversion flipped. I’m not sure if enough of us have noticed. Twelve months ago, visitors arriving at U.S. retailers from AI assistants converted at roughly half the rate of visitors from other channels. In March 2026, they converted 42% better. Same channel. Same stores. Different year. Adobe Analytics published the […]
Google Ads published new reporting data retention limits that change how long advertisers can access historical performance data through the interface and APIs. The update offers some clarity about which reporting periods will remain available and what advertisers may need to preserve on their own. Google Ads Reporting Data Availability Google Ads reporting data will […]

The announcements come ahead of Google Marketing Live on May 20, where the company says it will share more about how Google Analytics is evolving. What’s New The updates cover data […]
Most webinar programs get judged on the wrong number. Registration counts and live attendance look great on a slide, but they say nothing about whether the program moved pipeline. A webinar that actually drives ROI does three things at once: it teaches the audience something they genuinely want to know, it produces a durable asset […]
Jan-Willem Bobbink shared a take on X, that AI visibility trackers are quietly breaking the analytics of brands who are paying them to track for them. It’s time we put more focus on this issue, as it is causing misalignment, misreporting, and misspending of resources and marketing budget in the clamor to be more visible […]
A few weeks ago, we sat down with marketers running webinar programs at agencies and in-house teams, all B2B. We asked them what was working, what wasn’t, and where they felt stuck. Three pain points came up in nearly every conversation: “Webinars are a heavy lift with little proven ROI.”“We’re not generating enough qualified leads.”“Without […]
Last year, I taught a module on content marketing around the PESO model (Paid, Earned, Shared, and Owned media). Matt Bailey asked me to include more content about influencers in this year’s module; I joked that it might take me all morning to come up with a new acronym. He shot back, “Can you adapt […]
