Welcome to SEO Pulse: this week’s updates affect how AI Overviews select sources, how far AI search has expanded across industries, and what two search engines now say about optimizing for AI. Here’s what matters for you and your work. AI Overview Citations From Top-Ranking Pages Drop To 38% Ranking in Google’s top 10 is […]
Since Google introduced AI Max for Search campaigns, most of the discussion has focused on Google’s own benchmarks. Those benchmarks suggest advertisers can expect meaningful conversion growth without major efficiency changes. But like many platform statistics, they leave open questions about how the feature behaves inside mature accounts. To get a clearer view, Mike Ryan, […]
Ranking in Google’s top 10 is a weaker indicator of being cited in AI Overviews than it was last year, according to an updated Ahrefs analysis. The study examined 863,000 keywords and 4 million AI Overview URLs. It found that 38% of cited pages also appeared in the top 10 results for the same query. […]
For the past couple of decades, SEO has been about linear visibility.

AI is fundamentally changing what doing SEO means. Not just in how results are presented, but in how brands are discovered, understood, and trusted inside the very systems people now rely on to learn, evaluate, and make decisions. This forces a reassessment of our role as SEOs, the tools and frameworks we use, and the […]
Many Google Ads accounts generate steady traffic but struggle to turn that traffic into outcomes the business actually values, such as purchases, qualified leads, or demo requests. That disconnect usually isn’t caused by a lack of demand or a broken platform. It’s more often the result of small, fixable issues across the account that quietly […]

The most effective way to reduce noise is to track prompts based on personas.

Most SEO teams believe they need more data to report success, but what they actually have is metric debt, at least that’s what I keep seeing. The accumulated cost of optimizing for key performance indicators that no longer reflect how growth happens. The environment has changed, mostly because economic pressure has shifted expectations.
