On March 20, 2026, Google quietly added a new entry to its official list of web fetchers. Not a crawler. Not a training bot. An agent. Google-Agent is the user agent string for AI systems running on Google infrastructure that browse websites on behalf of users. When someone asks an AI assistant to research a product, fill […]
Schema markup had a rough week. Google ended FAQ rich results. Four days later, Ahrefs published a report, finding that adding JSON-LD didn’t produce a clear citation lift across Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, or ChatGPT. These developments weaken two common pitches for schema markup: increased SERP visibility and potential AI citation gains. This article […]
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 […]

Schema markup is far more common on pages cited by AI. But a new Ahrefs report found that adding it didn’t result in a clear increase in citations. Ahrefs tracked 1,885 web pages that added JSON-LD schema. Each page was matched against control pages that never added schema, and citation changes were measured across Google […]
This month’s Ask the PPC question about AI ad placements is near and dear to my heart. We’ve seen ads begin showing up on AI surfaces since 2024, and yet, they still have an air of mystery about them: “Ads are starting to show up in AI chat experiences.
