This week’s search and AI news covers four threads that don’t reduce to a single ranking chart: a spam update working through the index, Google building interactive tools directly into AI answers, a new button that lets readers choose your site as a preferred source, and a sudden, still-unexplained drop in how often ChatGPT cites […]
Reddit’s share of ChatGPT Search citations fell sharply in mid-August 2026, according to tracking data from GEO analytics firm Promptwatch. The obvious explanation — that OpenAI changed how ChatGPT runs its background searches — doesn’t fully match the timeline, which complicates any quick call to deprioritize Reddit in an AI search strategy. Promptwatch found reddit.com […]
Ranking charts start moving before Google ever announces an update. SEOs notice the swings in Search Console, chatter starts on social media, and days later a named update lands. Google’s John Mueller was recently asked why the company doesn’t just call the update the moment the volatility begins, and his answer clears up a misconception […]
I got tired of watching the industry treat “an AI bot fetched it” and “ChatGPT said it helps” as evidence that llms.txt does anything, so I invented a standard called cats.txt: a text file in which you formally declare your office cats, their jobs, their breeds, and how often they purr. I wrote a specification, […]
A forum website published a post on Reddit expressing disbelief that Google issued a manual action for thin content, finding it hard to reconcile how Google could send so much traffic for nearly twenty years only to find fault with it now. Google is calling it a manual action for thin content, but SEOs believe […]
One in every five off-page citations in AI search answers comes from Reddit, and that share is growing 30% year over year. That data point drove an entire session from Amanda Kusner, Senior Solutions Consultant at Uberall, and Peter Wischmann, Senior Client Partner at Reddit. Their core argument: AI models decide which businesses to recommend […]
Add WebMCP to your website, and you hand visiting AI agents a set of named tools to call. Those same tools can be used to turn the agents against the people who sent them. Chrome’s developer site now carries the security guidance for WebMCP, and much of it is written for the websites exposing the […]
Google Business Profile owners are seeing a message in their review dashboards that reads “You have no reviews yet,” even when their public listings still show hundreds of reviews. Complaint threads began to rise in the Google Business Profile Community forum on July 9, as people reported that the reply panel shows zero reviews, while the […]
Every few years, the web hands marketers the same deal. A new signal becomes the thing that decides who gets seen, an industry forms overnight to manufacture that signal, it works beautifully for a while, and then the platform notices, and the people who leaned on it fall off a cliff. The deal is being […]
Google Search is becoming an agent manager. Sundar Pichai said it plainly across two interviews this spring: “A lot of what are information-seeking queries will be agentic in Search. You’ll be completing tasks. You’ll have many threads running.” One week later, at Google Marketing Live 2026, Nick Fox, the SVP who oversees Search, Ads, and […]
