SEO by day, DJ by night
This was the metric I have been looking for, but didn't realize it's here, sitting in Profound all along:

The number of "open-ended" LLM searches that rely on Web Search

For this banking company, it's 96%... sheesh.

Oh fantastic. Just what our industry needed.

For brands sharing AI search case studies, def. go check out their organic visibility trend in a tool like @sistrix, @ahrefs, @Similarweb or @semrush.

And check it again over time.

Many tactics ppl are recommending for AI search are straight up detrimental for SEO.

I think this is a key point about Google's "Web Guide" that isn't widely understood just yet -

Not only is Web Guide segmenting answers into different buckets based on specific intents…

@lilyray.nyc a great job putting #AISearch #AEO #GEO into perspective.

I remember in my first month of #SEO listening to the CEO of my agency give a conference talk about how Voice Search was the future of SEO. It later became a running joke with my coworkers.

lmao @ "Finally we've arrived at GEO's glamorous Digital PR penthouse... Here GEO teaches one golden rule: If you want to show up in AI search, you better show up everywhere else, too." - @lilyray.nyc

Loved the animations and story arc! As a FL SEO, I might need to make this my new bedtime story.

I really appreciate you getting this out Lily, it's great for the industry. I love the brand AI questions sheet! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Moz webinar was fun. Being paired with @lilyray.nyc meant I was actively absorbing while trying to talk as well. I think we also set a new record with 2,700+ registrants 🔥🔥🔥

Chat was busy and fun, the hour flew by. Great questions on AI, DOJ, Google, browsers, trust, quality content and... "GEO" 🙃
Listening to them, you instantly get why they’re one of the best!

I read this 5 times and still don’t understand. But hey apparently it’s fine for Google Discover.

Imagine if every portion of an LLM output that was factually incorrect was highlighted in color.

How much color would be floating around the internet right now? (And being treated by readers as “correct”?)

Google says its AI Opal tool creates optimized content in a scalable way - which seems directly against Google's scaled content abuse policy www.seroundtable.com/google-opal-... via @natehake.bsky.social with quotes from @dias.social @lilyray.nyc @jeremyknauff.bsky.social

It finally happened 💀💀💀

I got hit up for “GEO expert advisory” for.. the “other kind” of GEO

(AKA, the *actual* meaning of GEO)

@wilreynolds.bsky.social just went off on the SEO agencies putting themselves (and their people) at the top of “best SEO” lists 😂😂👏🏽👏🏽

It might work for visibility (for now) but it does NOT work for trust.

“I don’t care about how much content you produce or how quickly you can produce it, I care if people actually trust your brand.”

Being visible in AI / search doesn’t matter if “nobody believes you.”
