Defintely not working - just tried
This started way before LLMs became popular. I've interviewed countless people on behalf of clients who know how to present a stock report, but fail to explain the nuances
This feels like they are using PAA as an experimentation platform for the AI overviews to see which answers get the most clicks to expand
It would be fascinating to get hold of their internal data
Belated Happy New Year to you all.
This year its from Manila where its definitely hotter than Swansea by about 28c
At least TSB had a skip button
No doubt some analyst is saying look how many people viewed all the slides
Todays rather lovely surprise, getting tagged by in the Google Search Central news for my BrightonSEO talk on Lessons Learnt From Crawling 1000's of websites
@johnmu.com one of the latest experiments is to use Screaming Frog and the Gemini API to examine individual APIs and ask whether the content matches a question and if not why not
It's coming with some very interesting ideas at the moment
The ability to tap into API's has revolutionised how we work and the amount of data that we can process
What amazes me is still how few people in SEO take advantage of the Google Search Console API's
Will this feature make it in the Google Search Console API at some point?
At the moment, we've been experimenting with some of the existing scripts built in to get embedding data and identify near duplicate pages on a site and using the ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini API's
We're looking to setup some LLM's locally and then experiment with the world of different models
Last Thursday, I gave my second #BrightonSEO talk - "Lessons Learnt from Crawling 1000+ websites" where I shared 12 useful lessons learnt from my success and failures crawling 1000's of web sites over the last 30 years

You should have done. I love a bit og audience interaction
@runbox.bsky.social any chance you could use this channel to update this on why your having downtime
As you don't update your website, the lack of information is frustrating
In really no surprise to anyone, the latest research from the respected Pew Institute directly contradicts Google claims that AI Overviews have increased search usage
That's the old Universal bounce rate.
In GA4, if you're on the page for more than 10 seconds, you're counted as engaged
Love this story and and a handy reminder about the difference between good and great
Popularity is an interesting term
Does it refer to other pages on the same domain visited after the referral from Google, or pages popularity in general?
These agencies are the gift that keep on giving
Every so often you come across those WTF moments where agencies do the really bare minimum
Today was the agency who didn't install the tracking tags for the Adwords campaign, but instead gets the client to send an Excel sheet with the times & dates of the enquiries to cross match
Agreed
This doesn't surprise me at all.
We sent AIO for local results where Google maps clearly has the place closed
Very much fills like the AIO systems are not referencing the other Google systems
My Brighton SEO talk from last year "Scraping the SERPs using off the shelf tools to find SEO gold" has been finally released on YouTube
If you're going to BrightonSEO, look forward to seeing you there

Silence of the Lambs - watched it with my 18 year daughter and she loved it
War Games, while mid 80's is very relevant these days
OK, stop and read this article. Very important for anyone involved in Search -> A profile of veteran Googler Liz Reid, who became Head of Search in March 2024 and rolled out major updates like AI Overviews, as Google competes with ChatGPT
#google #ai #seo
Perhaps agencies shouldn't start a pitch with tell us if we are bullsh**ing and then do that
Very much looking forward to this one
Thinks this sums up his attitude to soldiers and veterans in general

As well as the top level scores, you get the elements that make the scores
Told my eldest that before we saw Romulus at the cinema, we had to watch both Alien and Aliens. Watched the one on Disney, thinking something missing.
Like her dad, definitely in the Aliens camp
