SEO automations can save time, but the useful question is:
👉 which tasks can run on rules, which benefit from AI, and which need approval?
Here's a practical way to automate audits, research, content, links, and reporting without losing control of the output 🧵
First-party ChatGPT data may be coming 👀
OpenAI is testing a tool that tracks how often businesses get mentioned and clicked in ChatGPT.
Why it matters for #GEO, and its big blind spot: searchengineland.com/openai-…
AI Overviews, AI Mode and LLMs are reshaping how brands get discovered, mentioned and cited.
What matters next in Google #AISearch for 2027, from @MordyOberstein at SMX Next. Free, Nov. 18: searchengineland.com/smx/nex…
AI search knows what your brand does. Who it's for, it guesses.
And where you leave gaps, like pricing, it invents.
What ~2,000 AI brand mentions revealed: searchengineland.com/ai-know…
Your YouTube descriptions might be the easiest #GEO win you're not testing.
@peec_ai linked updated descriptions to a 359% jump in AI retrievals.
What they changed and what moved: searchengineland.com/youtube…
Backlinks alone won't get big brands cited in AI search.
Brand mentions correlate ~3x more strongly with #AIOverviews visibility than raw link count.

Someone asks AI a question. Your page answers it. Then they ask the follow-up... and that's usually where the decision gets made.
Do you plan content around the follow-up question?

People read the AI answer first. Then most of them click anyway.
New @fractlagency and Search Engine Land research (1,007 U.S. adults, ~11,100 research queries) shows how the click has changed, and what it means for your content 🧵👇
Leads not converting?
Before you blame #SEO, check the landing page and what happens after someone gets in touch.

Tracking ChatGPT brand sentiment with neutral or positive prompts only?
You're seeing an incomplete picture. Negative wording moved it 2x more. #GEO

Organic traffic is shrinking. Email and paid search aren't.
Time to build an audience you own.

New @fractlagency and Search Engine Land research (1,007 U.S. adults, ~11,100 research queries) shows how the click has changed, and what it means for your content 🧵👇
Where the clicks that leave the original search engine go:
- Google's other surfaces: 35%
- Amazon: 13%
- Reddit: 7%
- YouTube: 5%
Destination and influence aren't the same thing. Coverage that sends little traffic can still shape which brands people consider.
The full study also covers the generational split, what earns a click after an AI answer, and a three-question gut check for your content.
Worth a read before your next content or measurement plan 👇
