If you aren’t using AI for your business you are going to get run over by the businesses that are

Google’s new AI 🤖 model Argon still can’t connect to Google Ads or Google Ads Keyword Planner
It also can’t set up, manage, or optimize Google ads campaigns yet…
With Google advertising accounting for over 73% of Alphabets revenue stream, would t you have your AI make it easier to spend more?

I asked ChatGPT: “Best plumber near me?”
Here’s what influenced who it recommended:
• High Google rating
• Strong review volume
• Location/service-area relevance
• Clear list of services
• Current hours + emergency availability
• Complete business information
• Mentions/reviews on trusted third-party sites
• A website that clearly confirms what the company does
The lesson for plumbers, HVAC companies, roofers, pest control, etc:
AI search isn’t just about “ranking #1.”
You need consistent evidence across Google, your website, directories, review sites and the broader web that proves:
WHO you are
WHAT you do
WHERE you do it
WHY customers trust you
Make your business easy for AI to verify, and you make it easier for AI to recommend you.

Ranking #1 on Google ≠ getting cited by AI.
Top-10 citation rate in AI answers dropped from 76% to 38%.
ChatGPT pulls from Reddit threads, niche blogs, and forums that don't even hit Google's top 10.
Old SEO: rank for keywords.
New SEO: get referenced everywhere.

SEO isn’t dying. It’s splitting. Google rankings still matter.
But if ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini don’t cite you, you’re invisible to half your buyers. GEO isn’t optional anymore.

Well said .. side note for local SEO via our @CallRail tracked data local SMBs still get majority of their leads from Google with very small percentage of ChatGPT
Local SEO, Google Business Profile, Website that answers relevant topical questions, (LLMs pull from) reviews, brand, mentions on Reddit, listicles all are important and will weed out the winners and losers
Here's the most important takeaway from Google I/O for us marketers. And it's not the relief that AI Mode isn't becoming the default.
Last month I reported that Google lost ~5% of traffic share in just 10 months — from 35.11% to 30.53% (across ~75k websites in @Ahrefs' panel). And I don't see this trend reversing with the new AI Search they announced. If anything, it's only going to accelerate.
But there's still a big opportunity for us marketers in this new era of AI Search.
When Google's AI Search answers a question, it recommends specific brands, products, and services right in the answer. And that brand visibility has real business value. The brands that get mentioned by AI are the ones that are going to get the customers.
So the real takeaway from Google I/O isn't "phew, we still get our clicks for now."
It's that the game is shifting from counting clicks to tracking how often Google's AI mentions your brand and your products when it matters.
If you aren't measuring that yet, it's about time you start. Because this is where SEO is heading.

Friendly reminder:
Every paid @Ahrefs plan comes with a free allowance of tracked prompts in Brand Radar (our AI visibility tool).

AI local search just exploded.
In 2025: 6% of consumers used AI to find local businesses.
In 2026: 45%. That’s a 650% jump in 12 months.

ChatGPT is now the #3 discovery channel for local businesses — behind only Google and Facebook.
If AI doesn’t know your business exists, you’re losing calls right now.

Local search is high-intent by default.
Over 75% of local searches result in an action (call, visit, or direction request) within 24 hours.
Local SEO isn’t traffic it’s demand capture.
Pull marketing vs push marketing
Would you rather have people coming to you or you going after them

Wordpress Elementor @elemntor = secret SEO weapon.
Not because of design…
But because you can enforce perfect content structure:
H1 → H2 → H3 → FAQ blocks → Schema → CTAs
LLMs digest structured content better than designers realize.
