Google Ads is introducing a new disclosure requirement for advertisers using generative AI. The update adds AI transparency labels to ads across Search, YouTube, and Discover. It also requires advertisers using third-party AI tools to disclose when AI was used to create or edit an ad. For advertisers, the change is less about adopting AI […]
Welcome to the week’s Pulse: updates change what you can measure in Search Console, how you describe products in markup, and what John Mueller thinks about building for AI agents. Here’s what matters for you and your work. Search Console Adds Reports For Social And Video Posts Google is rolling out a new Search Console […]
YouTube has become the top podcast platform in the UK, surpassing Spotify for the first time on record, according to Edison Research. Among weekly podcast listeners aged 15 and over, 29% now cite YouTube as their preferred service, compared to 28% for Spotify. The one-point gap is quite small, and Edison describes the outcome as […]

Samanyou Garg, Founder and CEO of Writesonic, showed the system behind that number in his Search Engine Journal webinar: agents surface what moved across every search platform, practitioners prioritize and act. “AI search didn’t necessarily kill SEO, but it turned […]

AI has been public enemy No. 1 for at least two years. As the early wave of excitement wore off, people realized the content we, as SEOs and publishers, had spent years flooding the internet with was being used to make the richest even richer. We cannot deny the open web is changing – AI […]
I keep getting the same question from clients and SEOs (GEOs?). “How do we show up in ChatGPT?” The answer is always the same. Write good content, do listicles, comment on Reddit. The usual. But, how do we actually know any of that works? Most of it gets repeated on faith, one expert quoting the […]
Over 15 years ago, it was widely accepted that the benchmark click-through rate on a non-brand campaign was 2%. In fact, that number was so deeply embedded into paid search that it is unclear if anyone ever stopped to recalibrate and define a new metric to reference across all accounts. This is why, in 2026, […]
