Microsoft Advertising is giving advertisers more flexibility in reporting, with custom columns now supporting all conversion metrics β a move aimed at deeper, more tailored campaign analysis.
Whatβs happening. According to Microsoftβs product liaison Navah Hopkins, advertisers can now build custom metrics using the full range of conversion data available in the platform.
This includes both all conversions and primary conversions, allowing marketers to align reporting more closely with their specific goals.
Why we care. Standard reporting often doesnβt reflect how businesses actually measure success. By expanding custom columns, Microsoft is enabling advertisers to create metrics that better reflect their own performance definitions β whether thatβs based on lead quality, revenue or blended conversion actions.
This is especially useful for advertisers managing multiple conversion types or complex funnels.
More control over performance metrics. Advertisers can now create custom columns using ratios and combinations of metrics that matter most to them β such as cost per qualified lead, blended CPA or conversion rate based on primary goals.
Revenue and ROAS calculations will also reflect the values set at the conversion goal level, giving more accurate insights tied to business outcomes.
Between the lines. This update signals a shift toward more flexible, advertiser-defined measurement β rather than relying solely on platform-standard metrics.
It also reflects ongoing demand for better reporting customisation as campaigns become more automated and complex.
What to watch:
Bottom line. Microsoft is giving advertisers more control over how they measure success β turning custom columns into a more powerful tool for campaign analysis.

Advertisers are starting to push back on gaps in AI Max capabilities β particularly around landing page control β as Google continues its shift away from legacy Dynamic Search Ads (DSA).
Whatβs happening. In a LinkedIn exchange, digital marketing expert Gabriele Benedetti raised concerns about AI Max lacking the same level of URL-based targeting controls that DSA campaigns offered.
His point: DSA allowed advertisers to structure campaigns around website architecture β using categories, URL paths and page rules to guide where traffic lands. That level of control, he argued, is not yet fully replicated in AI Max.
Why we care. For many advertisers β especially those managing large or structured websites β aligning campaign structure with site architecture is key to performance. Losing granular control over landing destinations could impact relevance, user experience and ultimately conversion rates.
This highlights a broader tension in Google Ads today: automation vs control.
Google responds. Google Ads Liaison, Ginny Marvin responded, clarifying that AI Max does support several URL-based controls, including:
However, she acknowledged that not all DSA targeting rules are currently supported β such as βpage containsβ conditions.
Between the lines. Google is not removing control entirely β but it is reshaping how that control works. Instead of granular rule-building, advertisers are being pushed toward structured inputs like page feeds and labels that AI can interpret.
Migration reality check. For advertisers moving from DSA to AI Max, existing URL rules will carry over β but with limitations. Unsupported rules will remain active as read-only, meaning theyβll continue to function but cannot be edited.
Thatβs a temporary bridge, not a long-term solution.
Whatβs next. Google says it plans to expand controls further, including bringing content and title-based exclusions to the account level later this year.
This would complement AI Maxβs existing βinventory-awareβ features, which already exclude out-of-stock items automatically.
Bottom line. AI Max is evolving, but itβs not yet a full replacement for DSA when it comes to granular control β and advertisers are making that clear.

Google wrote, βStarting June 15, 2026, the browser back button will no longer trigger a vignette ad.β
What is changing. Google explained that the back button trigger will no longer work after June 15th. The βchange will apply automatically for all publishers who have opted in to βAllow additional triggers for vignette adsβ and will take effect across all supported browsers (including Chrome, Edge, and Opera).β Google added.
A Google spokesperson told me these same updates will apply to Ad Manager as well.
Why the change. Google explained that the Google Search team βrecently introducedΒ a new policy against βback button hijackingβΒ β a practice where websites or scripts interfere with a userβs ability to navigate back to their previous page. To ensure our publishers remain compliant with these latest user experience and search quality guidelines, we are removing the trigger that shows a vignette ad when the user navigates backward from the suite ofΒ vignette ad triggers.β
This comes after the search community called this out to Google and Google is making the right change here. Of course, some publishers will not be happy because that trigger may have earned them a lot of money.
Why we care. If you currently have the allow additional triggers for vignette ads setting on with AdSense, keep in mind, one of the triggers, the back button trigger, will be disabled on June 15th. It may impact your earnings, but it will ensure that your site does not get penalized by the back button hijacking penalty.

Google is rolling out new AI-driven bidding and budgeting features across Search, Shopping and Performance Max β aimed at helping advertisers capture more demand without increasing manual effort.
Whatβs happening. Google is expanding its automation stack with updates like Journey-aware Bidding, Smart Bidding Exploration and demand-led budget pacing. Together, these changes are designed to help campaigns respond more dynamically to shifting consumer behaviour.
The focus: letting AI identify and act on opportunities advertisers may not see themselves.
Why we care. These updates aim to capture more conversions without increasing manual work, using AI to find new demand and optimise spend in real time. By improving how bids respond to full-funnel signals and how budgets adapt to peak demand, campaigns can become more efficient and less reliant on constant adjustments.
Ultimately, itβs about getting more value from the same budget while staying competitive in a fast-changing search landscape.
Smarter bidding gets more context. Journey-aware Bidding (beta) allows advertisers to feed more of the customer journey into optimisation, including non-biddable conversions. This gives Google AI a fuller picture of what leads to actual sales β not just initial actions like form fills.
At the same time, Smart Bidding Exploration is expanding beyond Search. Already delivering an average 27% increase in unique converting users, it will soon roll out to Performance Max and Shopping campaigns, helping advertisers tap into less obvious, incremental queries.
Budgets that follow demand. On the budgeting side, Google is building on its campaign total budgets feature, which allows advertisers to set spend across a defined period instead of relying on daily limits.
The next step is demand-led pacing β where AI automatically adjusts spend based on real-time demand, increasing budgets on high-opportunity days and pulling back during slower periods, without exceeding overall limits.
Advertisers using total budgets have already seen a reported 66% reduction in manual budget adjustments.
Why this is a big deal. Budget management has historically been one of the most manual parts of campaign optimisation. By automating pacing, Google is reducing the need for constant monitoring while aiming to improve efficiency.
What to watch:
Bottom line. Google is directing advertisers to AI to handle both bidding and budgeting β shifting the advertiser role from manual optimisation to guiding inputs and trusting the system to find growth.
JavaScript SEO should be a solved problem by now. It isnβt.
Ecommerce sites keep hitting the same crawling, rendering, and indexing issues they were five years ago, now stacked on top of headless builds, AI-powered recommendations, and frameworks that can hide critical content from Google.
These top ecommerce players have figured out how to ship fast, modern JavaScript without sacrificing organic visibility. Here are five lessons worth stealing.
Chewy is one of the largest online retailers of pet food and supplies in the U.S. They use Next.js, a React framework for building websites with built-in support for server rendering, static generation, and full-stack development features.
That means you can put important content in the initial HTML response without relying on client-side JavaScript.
Letβs look at a product page like the Benebone Wishbone Chew Toy.
Navigate to View Page Source and youβll see the product title, description, pricing, reviews, Q&A, and breadcrumb navigation all present in the initial HTML. Googlebot can access it on the first pass, without waiting for rendering.
Thatβs important because if a web crawler like Googlebot encounters issues rendering your page, the important content can still be parsed on the first crawl. With the rise of AI chatbots, some of which still donβt render JavaScript, this has become even more important.
Not everything needs to be in the initial HTML, though. Without client-side JavaScript, the page would feel static and clunky.
Take the βCompare Similar Itemsβ carousel. Itβs loaded client-side, primarily there for shoppers. The internal links could offer some SEO benefit, but theyβre not critical for indexing this page the way the title, description, and pricing are.
Chewy gets this balance right. The content that matters most for indexing is available on initial load. Client-side JavaScript enhances the experience rather than delivering the content that needs to be indexed.
Myprotein sells supplements, nutrition products, and some fitness apparel.
Their site is built on Astro, a content-first framework using Islands Architecture to ship zero JavaScript by default while supporting components from React, Vue, or Svelte.
Myproteinβs navigation is the part worth studying. Itβs an important SEO area for ecommerce sites, and they get it right.
View the source on any Myprotein page and the navigation links (categories, dropdown items, and footer links) are all in the initial HTML response. Astro makes this possible through its island architecture.
The navigation ships as an interactive island, meaning Astro will hydrate it with JavaScript as soon as the browser is ready. But JavaScript makes the flyout menus interactive. It doesnβt create them.
These links are also proper <a> elements with href attributes, which is what crawlers like Googlebot need to discover and follow links. Avoid using JavaScript click handlers to simulate navigation, such as:
<div onclick="navigate(item.slug)">Clear Protein Drinks</div>
A crawler wonβt follow that. Use a standard anchor element instead:
<a href="https://us.myprotein.com/c/nutrition/protein/clear-protein-drinks/">Clear Protein Drinks</a>
Not every site gets this right. When navigation depends entirely on client-side rendering, thereβs a window where itβs invisible or empty.
Googlebot processes JavaScript in a separate rendering pass that can lag behind the initial crawl, which can mean delayed discovery of internal links critical for crawl efficiency and link equity distribution.
Harrods is a luxury department store selling fashion, beauty, and homeware.
Their site is built on Nuxt, a Vue framework for building websites with built-in routing, server rendering, and static generation, plus an opinionated project structure.
Their structured data is delivered in the initial HTML response. View the source on any product page and youβll find structured data inside a <script type="application/ld+json"> element. The Product schema includes the product name, images, description, brand, and an Offer with price, currency, availability, and seller.
JSON-LD is the format Google recommends for structured data, and because itβs in the HTML response, Google can parse it on the first crawl pass without needing to render the page.
On JavaScript-powered sites, structured data can easily become a client-side dependency. If a framework fetches product data in the browser and generates JSON-LD from the response, that structured data only exists after JavaScript executes. The same is true for structured data injected through Google Tag Manager.
If markup is only added after the page loads, Google has to render the page to find it. Google has noted that dynamically generated Product markup can make Shopping crawls less frequent and less reliable, which matters when prices and availability change often.
By serving that structured data in the HTML directly, Harrods avoids this risk entirely.
Under Armour is a global sportswear brand selling athletic apparel, footwear, and accessories. Their site is built on Next.js, the same React framework Chewy uses.
A good place to see their JavaScript SEO in action is on category pages, where filters need to feel fast and interactive for shoppers, and be crawler-friendly.
Letβs look at the menβs shoes category page. When you apply a filter, say, selecting size 10, the product grid updates instantly without a full page reload. Thatβs client-side JavaScript updating the grid.
But the URL updates too. After selecting the filter, the URL becomes:
Loginhttps://www.underarmour.com/en-us/c/mens/shoes/?prefn1=size&prefv1=10A shopper can copy that URL, send it to a friend, or bookmark it, and land right back on the same filtered view.
Notice what the URL isnβt:
Itβs a clean, readable query string with named parameters.
Under Armour is using the Next.js router to update the URL as filters change. Under the hood, it wraps the browserβs History API and uses the pushState() method to update the address bar without a reload.
When someone visits that same URL directly, the page loads with the filter already applied.
Manors Golf sells golf apparel. Their site runs on Hydrogen, Shopifyβs React-based framework for headless storefronts.
Hydrogen defers its own application scripts automatically since they load as ES modules. However, third-party scripts are the developerβs responsibility. On an ecommerce site, that can be a long list: reviews, chat, personalization, pixels, recommendations, payment scripts.
That matters for SEO in two ways. Render-blocking scripts hurt Core Web Vitals, most directly Largest Contentful Paint (LCP). They also give Googlebot more work to render the page, so it may get processed less reliably.
An external script (<script src="...">) without async or defer blocks HTML parsing. Async fetches in the background and runs when ready. Defer waits until parsing finishes.
Manors loads external scripts from 12 third-party domains, including Klaviyo, TikTok, Microsoft Clarity, and Gorgias.
A look at the Elements panel shows them all loading with async:
By loading third-party scripts with async, Manors keeps them from blocking the initial render. That protects LCP and reduces the work Googleβs Web Rendering Service (WRS) has to do.
The issue isnβt that youβre using JavaScript. Itβs what youβre using it for.
Googlebot can process JavaScript, but itβs slower and less reliable than reading HTML. The more your core content, structure, and navigation depend on JavaScript, the more room there is for things to go wrong.
The sites in this article all use JavaScript to enhance the experience rather than deliver it. Do that, and you wonβt have to choose between a good user experience and good SEO.
In terms of scope, Resident Evil Requiem is not much different from its predecessors, but it seems like CAPCOM had to rein in the game's ambition at some point during development. Besides scrapping a Chapter 2, the development team seems to have done away with plenty of other features and mechanics, including investigation mechanics and systems that suggest there would be more interplay between the Grace and Leon segments. As reported by Dusk Golem on X, dataminers recently took a good look at the game's files and have made some very interesting discoveries. Among the scrapped features discovered are: While [β¦]

Apple might adopt a clever strategy to paper over the fact that selling the base MacBook Neo at $599 is increasingly becoming uneconomical, forcing a switch to higher-tier storage options where an elevated cost pass-through is much more feasible. Apple might cushion the blow from an effective $100 price increase for the MacBook Neo by introducing new color options As most of our readers would know by now, the MacBook Neo is powered by the binned A18 Pro chips, where one GPU core is disabled.

Back in March 2026, Square Enix and Google revealed a new partnership to bring a Gemini AI-powered NPC to Dragon Quest X called Chatty Slimey. The NPC companion was described as a "conversational AI" companion who can aid the player with questions they have in the game, but as reported by Japanese outlet Toyo Keizai (spotted and translated by Automaton), Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Hori hopes that the AI NPC can be more that just a tool for players to utilize. Hori reportedly holds this hope not just for the upcoming Chatty Slimey companion, but for all future AI-powered [β¦]

Y Combinator general partner Aaron Epstein was joined by Raphael Schaad, founder of Cron that was sold to Notion, to discuss common mistakes made with AI designed websites. They identified seven common mistakes vibe coders made with their websites that should be avoided. Positive And Negatives The podcast started out by acknowledging that being able to vibe code a website is a positive thing that doesnβt have to turn out poorly just because theyβre not a designer. Then they started visiting vibe coded websites and encountering multiple issues that fit into the following seven categories. 1. Generic Design Trends The [β¦]
The post 7 Common AI Website Mistakes That Are Easy To Avoid appeared first on Search Engine Journal.
Explore Asian and Pasifika cultures with curated collections on Google Play, creator spotlights, a new Doodle and more.Search visibility no longer starts and ends with rankings. AI-driven search has changed where discovery happens β across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and beyond.
Generative engine optimization (GEO) is how brands adapt, shaping how theyβre retrieved and represented inside those systems.
Traditional SEO metrics miss a growing share of that visibility. Pages are now summarized, excerpted, and cited in environments where clicks are optional, and attribution is fragmented. When an AI-generated summary appears, users click traditional search results far less often β in one analysis, just 8% of the time.
That creates a measurement gap. Assessing this gap is where GEO metrics come in.
GEO focuses on whether AI systems can find, understand, and select your content when generating answers. In generative search, visibility is more than about being indexed or ranked. Your content must be used β cited, summarized, or incorporated β into AI responses.
GEO builds on SEO and AEO, shifting the focus from where content ranks to how clearly it can be interpreted and trusted in context.
In practice, that means optimizing for:
Thatβs where GEO metrics become useful.
GEO performance shows up across a distinct set of signals that reflect presence, usage, and downstream impact.
AI citation frequency measures how often your brand, website, content, or experts are cited in AI-generated answers.
This is one of the clearest GEO metrics because it shows whether generative systems consider your content useful enough to reference.
Track citation frequency across:
Citation frequency should be tracked at the topic level, not only the domain level. A SaaS company, for example, may want to know whether itβs cited for βcustomer onboarding software,β βproduct adoption metrics,β and βbest tools for reducing churnβ separately.
The goal is repeatable citation across high-value topics.
Share of Model Voice measures how often your brand appears in AI-generated answers compared with competitors.
Traditional share of voice tells you how visible a brand is across search, media, or advertising. Share of Model Voice applies that idea to AI responses.
A simple way to calculate it:
For example:
This metric is especially useful for competitive categories because AI answers often compress the consideration set. A user doesnβt see 10 blue links. They may see three recommended vendors, two cited articles, or one synthesized answer.
Thatβs why relative presence matters more than absolute visibility.
Answer inclusion rate measures how often your owned content is used to generate an AI answer, regardless of whether the user clicks.
This differs from citation frequency. A brand may be mentioned without its content being cited. And a page may be used as supporting material even when the brand is not the central recommendation.
Track inclusion across informational, comparison, and decision-stage prompts.
For example, a B2B SaaS company in the SEO or analytics space might track prompts like:
This metric helps identify which content formats are easiest for AI systems to retrieve and summarize.Β
In many cases, clear definitions, comparison tables, statistics pages, glossaries, and answer-first explainers perform better than broad thought leadership pages because theyβre easier to extract and reuse.
Entity recognition measures how well AI systems understand who your brand is, what it does, and what topics it should be associated with.
This matters because generative systems donβt only match keywords. They interpret entities, relationships, topical authority, and corroborating signals.
Strong entity recognition means AI systems can accurately connect your brand to:
Googleβs guidance for AI features emphasizes that the same fundamentals still apply: make content accessible, maintain a strong page experience, and use structured data to help systems interpret whatβs on the page.
In practice, inconsistencies across these signals make it harder for AI systems to reliably connect your brand to the right topics.
Sentiment measures how AI systems describe your brand.
Tracking mentions isnβt enough. Brands also need to know whether AI-generated responses frame them as credible, outdated, expensive, risky, innovative, niche, enterprise-grade, beginner-friendly, or anything else.
You can monitor:
This is where GEO overlaps with PR and brand management. AI-generated answers can shape perception before the user ever reaches your site.
Prompt coverage measures how many relevant prompts surface your brand. This is the GEO version of keyword coverage, but prompts are more conversational, specific, and intent-rich.
A strong prompt set should include:
For a cybersecurity company, βbest cybersecurity platformsβ is only part of the picture. Relevant prompts also look like:
Prompt coverage shows whether your brand is visible across the way people actually ask AI systems for help.
Content retrieval success rate measures how often AI systems pull from your owned content when answering relevant prompts. This is where it gets technical.
If your content isnβt crawlable, structured, fresh, or easy to parse, it may struggle to appear in generative outputs, regardless of subject-matter strength.
You should evaluate:
Gaps in any of these areas reduce the likelihood that your content is retrieved and used β even when itβs the best answer available.
Conversion influence measures how visibility in AI-generated outputs contributes to downstream business outcomes. That connection isnβt always direct β and itβs rarely cleanly attributed.
A user may see your brand in an AI answer, search your name later, visit directly, ask a colleague, or convert through a paid retargeting path.
Still, brands should track directional signals:
AI search visitors convert at a 23x higher rate than traditional organic search visitors, even though AI traffic volume was much smaller, according to Ahrefs.
Thatβs the measurement nuance: AI search may drive fewer sessions, but the sessions that do occur can be higher-intent.
GEO measurement is still in its early stages, and no single platform captures the full picture. Most brands will need a mix of automated tools, manual audits, analytics configuration, and competitive testing.
A growing set of tools β from established SEO platforms to GEO-native products β now track how brands appear across AI-driven search experiences.
For example:
The category is still evolving, but early tools give brands a way to move from assumptions to actual visibility data.
Manual prompt testing is still useful, especially when building a baseline. Create a controlled prompt set by topic, funnel stage, persona, and geography.Β
Run those prompts consistently across the same AI platforms. Capture:
Because AI answers can vary, single-prompt testing isnβt enough. Track patterns over time.
Use GA4, server logs, CRM fields, and referral data to identify traffic and conversions from AI platforms β particularly shifts in direct, branded, and assisted conversions.
Track known AI referrers, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, and other AI tools, where possible. Treat this as directional rather than complete, because many AI-influenced journeys show up as direct, branded search, or otherwise unattributed traffic.
Search Console still matters, even as clicks decline.
Impressions show whether content is being surfaced, while query data highlights where AI Overviews are absorbing demand, where branded search is increasing, and where content may need restructuring for answer inclusion.
Traditional SEO tools remain useful for technical health, content gaps, backlinks, keyword demand, and competitive research. GEO measurement builds on that foundation, tracking how content is surfaced in AI search.
Start with a baseline. Choose 5-10 core topics you want AI systems to associate with your brand. For each, map prompts across the user journey. Then build a dashboard across four categories β and assign each to a clear action:
Visibility: Where do we show up?
Accuracy and reputation: How are we represented?
Technical and content: Can our content be used?
Business impact: Does it drive outcomes?
Review these metrics together, not in isolation. Use them to decide what to update, expand, or deprioritize. Finally, connect the framework to business goals.
A publisher may prioritize citations and source inclusion. A B2B SaaS company may focus on category prompts and comparison visibility. An ecommerce brand may look at product recommendations, review sentiment, and visibility across discovery surfaces.
Thereβs no universal GEO dashboard β only the one that helps your team decide what to do next.
GEO metrics are only useful if they change what teams do next. Define the topics you want to be known for, track how those topics show up across AI systems, and use that data to decide what to update, expand, or deprioritize.
Treat visibility as a feedback loop. If your brand isnβt appearing, refine the content. If itβs appearing inconsistently, strengthen the signals around it. If itβs showing up but misrepresented, correct the source.
Over time, the advantage goes to teams that act on these signals consistently β not just the ones that track them.

Many companies expand internationally by duplicating their U.S. website, translating the language, and keeping the same architecture, navigation, and content structure across markets.
Then performance drops. International versions may convert at half the rate of the original site or struggle to gain traction altogether.
The issue usually isnβt translation. Itβs assuming users in different markets search, navigate, and evaluate information the same way.
Using insights from Google SERPs and LLMs, hereβs how to localize website architecture and navigation for international SEO.
Googleβs SERP interface is localized for individual markets. Each element β menu order, topic filters, questions, tags, AI structures β reflects learned user behavior.
For example, if you search for a topic or product in the UK and Italy, youβll get different interfaces: The Italian site might show two shopping options, while the UK site puts images at position two. These arenβt arbitrary β theyβre algorithmic predictions based on observed behavior in each specific region.
Google has already done the user research. You just have to extract the signals systematically.Β Every SERP element is optimized through behavioral data, for example:
Use these nine SERP interface elements to contain localization intelligence.
| Signal | What | Why | How to (manual) | How to (with tools) |
| 1. Search Menu Order | Reveals primary and secondary search intent | Menu position shows how Google classifies query intent per market | Open incognito browser, set location to target city, search query, record visible menu items in exact order | BrightLocal for location simulation |
| 2. Topic Filters | Shows hierarchical refinement patterns (2-3 levels deep) | Maps directly to content hub organization | Scroll below search bar to βRefine this searchβ section, document filter chips, click each to reveal sub-levels | Topically.io, Chrome DevTools (inspect filter elements), Python/Selenium for automation |
| 3. People Also Ask | User confusion points and anxiety aggregated from real searches | Direct blueprint for FAQ sections and pillar page H2 structure | Locate PAA box, document visible questions, click each to expand and reveal related questions (2 levels deep), use incognito to avoid personalization | AlsoAsked.com (visualizes PAA trees), ValueSERP API, SerpAPI for automation |
| 4. People Also Search For | Journey paths and related searches showing sequential behavior | Reveals related entities users expect to find connected; informs internal linking | Scroll to bottom of search results, document 8-12 related searches shown automatically | Topically.io, Semrush (βRelated Keywordsβ), Ahrefs (βAlso talk aboutβ), SerpAPI |
| 5. Image Search Tags | Entity search associations (visual and general); multi-word tags reveal co-occurring entities | Tag frequency = entity salience; informs which entities need visual content | Click Images tab, observe tag chips below search bar, document all visible tags (8-15), note multi-word tags | Topically.io, SerpAPI (image search with tags), Selenium scripts |
| 6. AI Overview Fan-Outs | Googleβs AI-predicted follow-up questions; entity relationships the model learned | Specifically informs Google AI Overview, AI Mode, and Web Guide structure; shows content sequencing for user journey | N/A | Qforia by iPullRank, Gemini API with Python/Colab |
| 7. AI Mode Fan-Outs | Conversational search path predictions; multi-turn journey Google anticipates | Reveals complex topic exploration paths; growing importance as Google pushes AI Mode heavily | N/A | Qforia by iPullRank, Gemini API with conversational context in Python/Colab |
| 8. Google Web Guide | Googleβs editorial content organization; H2-level structure Google considers comprehensive | Direct blueprint for navigation structure (not URL paths); categories reveal information types users need | Perform search, look for βWeb Guideβ or βGuideβ SERP feature (appears ~20-30% of queries), expand sections, document H2 headings | N/A (no tools available) |
| 9. Multi-LLM Comparative Analysis | How ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity structure answers to identical queries; consensus vs. unique entities | Consensus entities = must-have content; weak/incomplete answers = information gain opportunities; validates citation-worthy content | Enter identical query in each LLM interface, copy full responses, document response length/format/entities/citations (for Perplexity), perform in local language per market | OpenAI API (ChatGPT), Google Gemini API, Perplexity API β all via Python/Colab for batch processing and entity extraction |
Hereβs an example of a product breakdown between international sites:
However, you donβt need all 31,968 data points.Β Patterns emerge across 15 to 20 products, roughly 10% to 15% of the catalog. Entity relationships repeat across product categories, so sampling 15 products across factions can reveal critical localization patterns.
Letβs say thereβs a hypothetical website based on the Star Wars movies called βSWLegion.com,β which sells tabletop wargaming miniatures. It has several products across factions, eras, and types.
Below is SWLegion.comβs complete URL structure across four markets.

Using the above product catalog as an example, use each product as a query seed.
Start manual, with 10-15 products to internalize patterns. Then automate with APIs/Python, and store in a CSV/JSON. Cross-reference entities to identify co-occurrence patterns.
Combine all nine signals into a unified dataset. Then, extract entities mentioned across signals.
Track which entities appear together across signals. This reveals which concepts users naturally connect in their thinking.
Each signal has a different reliability weight based on how directly it reflects user intent:
For example, say thereβs a significant variation in entity relationship complexity across markets, measured as total weighted co-occurrence scores (sum of all entity pair connections, weighted by signal reliability):
This means the U.S. and UK show 2x more entity relationship complexity than Italy, indicating more complex user journeys requiring deeper content architectures.
Not all entities matter equally across markets. Your content strategy depends on recognizing three distinct patterns:
Beyond individual entities, track how different types of entities connect. This reveals what content formats work in each market.
Entities cluster into four categories:Β
Cross-ontology co-occurrence reveals which content types users expect:
These ontology patterns vary dramatically by market, revealing which entities matter, how users think about connections, and how to optimize internal linking architecture. Hereβs an example weighted co-occurrence analysis
USA: Product Γ Lore, weight 60.0 (highest of any market)
UK: Painting Γ Lore, weight 15.0 (unique to UK and U.S. only)
Spain: Product Γ Lore, balanced at 27.0 each
Italy: Product Γ Lore weight 10.5 (weakest)
Entities should appear in 3+ signals to be validated. One appearance could be an anomaly or noise.
Signals reveal what users reference, not always what they want. For example, a site appears across multiple markets in various signals, so itβs confirmed as a universal entity in LLM responses across all markets. But its presence in Image Search tags is minimal.
For example, letβs say signal validation reveals dramatically different entity landscapes across markets β in other words, how many distinct, validated entities appeared in 3+ signals per market:
Italy has half the entity coverage of other markets, revealing a fundamental difference in how Italian users approach this product category β a strong strategic signal.Β
If Italian users show concentrated interest in fewer entities, with heavier emphasis on foundational questions (for example, PAAs) rather than deep entity exploration, theyβre asking, βwhat is this?β and βhow does this work?β
Thereβs an information gain opportunity here: While competitors might translate all 31 US entities to Italian, creating shallow content Italian users donβt need, you can dominate the 16 entities that actually matter to this market with comprehensive, beginner-focused content.
Actions to take:
Youβre not trying to force-fit U.S. models onto Italian users, youβre serving the actual information needs for this market.
Maintain a consistent technical structure across all markets with canonical tags, hreflang, CMS architecture, and analytics.

Slug localization:
What stays consistent
Create a master entity list flagged by market validation. This will become your strategic content roadmap, preventing duplication while ensuring comprehensive coverage where it matters.
Entities cluster into two strategic categories:
Phase 1 build: Start with universal entities. Build 12-15 cornerstone pages, translate to all four markets for 48-60 total pages. These establish a baseline coverage across your entire international footprint.
Phase 2 build: Add market-specific entities. Create 25-35 localized pages to be deployed selectively only to validated markets. A 501st Legion deep-dive may go live in the U.S. and UK but not in Italy or Spain.
Total strategic content: 73-95 pages across four markets. This is a better, more refined strategy than covering 148 product entities Γ four markets, adding lore/rules/painting content for all entities across all markets, which would create dozens of wasted pages.Β
Building out your international SEO can present some challenges. Here are some roadblocks and strategies to do it right.Β
Letβs look at some hurdles to implementing AI to search.
CMS limitations
Most CMS platforms arenβt designed for entity-level localization. Whatβs needed is conditional page creation based on market validation.
For example: Add a βTarget Marketsβ custom field to your CMS with checkboxes for different markets β U.S., UK, Italy, Spain, in our example.Β
Content team scaling
Creating dozens of localized pages requires subject matter expertise, native language writers, and cross-market coordination.Β
Start with one market β the second-largest, not the largest, to learn with a lower risk. Build 5-10 entity pages, validate traffic and conversions, and then scale to other markets only when ROI is proven.
MaintenanceΒ
Markets evolve, new products launch, entities gain or lose relevance, and signals need periodic re-analysis.Β
Re-run an abbreviated nine-signal analysis on the top 20 entities on a quarterly basis. Look for significant shifts: If entities drop from 3+ signals to one signal, consider deprecating content.
Here are some tools to help monitor AI systems:
Now that you know what roadblocks lie ahead, hereβs how to implement the plan.
Month 1: Foundation
Months 2-3: Content creation
Months 4-6: Validation and expansion
Months 7-12: Full multi-market rollout
After implementing changes and incorporating AI into your international search strategy, hereβs how to determine whatβs working and where to improve.
This metric tells you if youβre covering entities that actually matter to users in each specific market, not just translating pages indiscriminately.
Consider the strategic difference. For example, letβs say your UK site covers 79%, or 22 of 28 validated entities, focusing resources on entities users actually search for, ask questions about, and engage with across multiple signals.Β
While a competitor translates 148 product entities, achieving β100% coverageβ on paper, but wastes resources covering entities UK users show minimal interest in.
Your 21% gap (6 uncovered entities) isnβt a failure, but a strategic prioritization.Β
These lower-priority entities can be added if quarterly re-analysis shows their signal validation strengthening β moving from 2 signals to 3+ or appearing in additional signal types.
Tools for tracking entity coverage:
Track whether your site appears in LLM responses for key topics, not individual citation counts. The goal is to measure topical authority, not vanity metrics.
For ChatGPT/Gemini/Perplexity/Claude: Use WAIKay.io to systematically track your visibility across multiple LLMs. The platform allows you to:
For AI Overviews/AI Mode: Use Semrush One to monitor Googleβs AI-powered SERP features.Β Alternative tools, such as Ahrefs, Advanced Web Rankings, and SISTRIX (AI Overview presence reporting), offer similar capabilities.
Target benchmarks:
This validates if your content quality and entity coverage are sufficient for LLMs to consider you an authoritative source worth including in their responses. Lack of visibility signals content gaps or insufficient topical depth.
Most international sites treat taxonomy as infrastructure: build once, maintain minimally, and refresh every 2-3 years during a website redesign.Β
Our SWLegion.com example started with an identical architecture across four markets. Implementing this strategy, we showed how to localize architecture and navigation and optimize for each market.
This strategy builds something fundamentally different β architecture that breathes with market behavior, responding to signals rather than assumptions. Youβre cultivating taxonomy rather than just maintaining a website.
Your new taxonomy will reflect current user behavior and also anticipate and adapt to behavioral shifts before competitors notice that the market has changed.
Over the past few decades, digital marketing has settled into a stable system. While it spans SEO, content marketing, social media, and digital advertising, many programs have relied on a predictable core that didnβt always use every available channel.
This gave digital marketers a sense of predictability and comfort. For years, teams stuck with what worked and refined execution through the same familiar framework. AI search has disrupted that comfort and exposed our inconsistencies. To succeed with AI SEO, we need a much more comprehensive approach.
Over the past 15 to 20 years, digital marketing settled into a predictable rhythm, with each channel playing a defined role.Β
Content marketing, social media, SEO, paid advertising, and email followed similar strategies with little variation. Little happened outside this structure, and many of us grew βlazy.βΒ
The structure worked, so we let other strategies fall away.
The problem? It created a false sense of security. We should have been doing more all along, and those broader strategies are now driving real visibility in AI search.
AI has disrupted digital marketing in ways that werenβt obvious at first. Itβs changed user search behavior and how brands are evaluated.Β
Traditional search relied on algorithms and a primary source. AI pulls from multiple inputs across many sources.
Those sources should already exist. Theyβre your marketing β the way you present your brand across platforms like social media, third-party directories, press releases, brand mentions, and more. In short, anything outside your website.
In this system, your website and the strategic marketing that supports it are just one part of the whole. Itβs now one of many sources AI uses to understand your brand and offer. AI search reflects the strength of marketing across all these sources.
One of the biggest disruptions AI has caused is that the website is no longer central to your marketing strategy or visibility. Itβs now part of a much larger ecosystem. You still need a strong website, as always, but you must account for how much broader the landscape has become with AI search.
While driving traffic to your website still matters, itβs no longer the only focus. The goal used to be maximizing website visibility β achieve that, and results would follow. That still works to a degree, but treating it as the only path to visibility is outdated.
AI pulls information from a wide range of sources β articles, brand mentions across platforms, third-party profiles, published content β and all of it shapes how it understands who you are and what you do.Β
Your website is just one part of this broader scope. If you focus only on your website, you limit AIβs ability to find you.
This is where most marketing programs fall short, especially those built before AI. To modernize, your brand must be visible across a much wider scope.Β
AI favors brands that show up online with intent. Theyβve built a cohesive ecosystem across the wider internet.Β
A segmented marketing approach may have worked in the past, but it no longer has the same impact. We got away with it because when each channel performed well, it still felt effective and met our goals.
AI doesnβt allow this anymore. It favors brands with many connected signals, because it links them across the internet. It evaluates how your brand appears across these sources and looks for consistent messaging and expertise.Β
When these signals align, your AI visibility strengthens. When theyβre scattered or your broader presence is weak, your AI visibility is weak.
This is why itβs important to develop a marketing strategy that accounts for this. A brand with a coordinated presence across the internet β across its website and other marketing channels β is whatβs required today.Β
This is the real issue with βlazy marketing.β We define it as sticking to the old approach β treating each channel separately and relying on the same tactics that have always worked. That approach may have delivered results before, but those days are gone.
At the time, this approach still delivered results. A strong SEO foundation consistently drove leads, and paid advertising offered similar predictability. These tactics worked so well that there was little need to go beyond them.
We need to go beyond it to keep up. Your brand needs to show up across multiple sources β thatβs how AI finds you. If your competitors are already building their presence, you need to do the same or get left behind. Theyβll take more space in AI-generated answers than you.
This means that if you have gaps in your marketing, you canβt hide them anymore. AI exposes these inconsistencies and forces you into the broader digital space.
Now is the time to move beyond the old model and adopt a new understanding of what works in digital marketing. The old approach no longer works on its own β it must be part of a broader system.
These are the strategies we should have been using all along: press releases, directory listings, and marketing beyond your own website.
AI search rewards an all-encompassing marketing strategy because thatβs what works. Core channels like social media, SEO, content marketing, and paid advertising still matter, but theyβre not enough on their own.Β
AI hasnβt changed the rules. It has enforced them.
This is what has always worked in marketing. The difference now is that you canβt get away with doing less.

The search index is evolving from ranking pages to supporting AI-generated answers. In a technical blog post βon the evolving technical characteristics of the index,β published today, Microsoft Bing explained why AI search needs a different indexing system than traditional web search.
Traditional search vs. grounding systems. Microsoft said traditional search can rely on users to self-correct, while AI systems need stronger evidence because they generate committed answers.
They shared this table:
Whatβs different. Traditional ranking is optimized for relevance. Grounding must also assess whether information is accurate, up to date, clearly sourced, and sufficient to support an answer. That means AI indexes need to account for whether:
Stale content. Stale content creates a different risk in AI answers, Microsoft said. In traditional search, it may hurt ranking quality. In grounding systems, it can directly generate a wrong answer.
Contradictions. A search engine can rank one source above another and let users decide. Grounding systems must recognize conflicting evidence before turning it into a single answer, according to Microsoft.
Retrieval is more complex. Search is usually a single interaction: query in, ranked results out. Microsoft said grounded AI systems may retrieve information repeatedly, refine based on earlier results, combine evidence, and reassess confidence before answering.
How indexing quality is measured. Search quality has traditionally focused on ranking performance and user behavior. Grounding systems also need to measure factual fidelity, source quality, freshness, evidence strength, and conflict detection. The industry is still learning how to rigorously measure grounding quality, Microsoft said.
Grounding doesnβt replace search. Grounding builds on existing search infrastructure while adding systems focused on evidence quality, attribution, and deciding when an AI system should avoid answering, Microsoft said.
Why we care. For decades, search indexes helped determine which pages users should visit. Today, AI grounding determines which information supports an AI-generated answer. Microsoft described grounding as a new layer on top of traditional search, built for AI systems that need higher confidence in the information they use. That shift could push brands and publishers to focus more on creating information AI systems can confidently use.

Weβve rounded up the top ways you can use Googleβs AI Mode, Search Live and Shopping to help your plants thrive.We're partnering with Believe to offer Google Flow Music to artists, producers and songwriters.Google is expanding its Analytics Data API to include cross-channel conversion reporting β giving developers programmatic access to paid and organic performance data.
Whatβs happening. The new feature, currently in alpha, allows Google Analytics and Google Ads users to pull conversion data across channels via the API β mirroring whatβs available in the Conversion performance report in the Analytics interface.
This means developers can now access the same insights without relying on manual reporting.
Why we care. As measurement becomes more complex, advertisers need unified views of performance across paid and organic channels. This update enables teams to automate reporting, integrate data into their own systems and build more advanced analysis workflows.
Itβs particularly valuable for businesses managing multiple platforms and looking to centralise performance data.
The caveat. This feature may not be available to every Google Analytics property yet. Google says it is actively working to expand access, and advertisers should check with their support teams to confirm eligibility.
What to watch:
Bottom line. By bringing cross-channel conversion data into the API, Google is giving advertisers and developers more control over how they access, analyse and act on performance data.
Negative keywords arenβt a checklist anymore. In 2026, theyβre a series of strategic decisions β and how you make them shapes how the algorithm interprets your account.
If youβre still treating negatives like maintenance, youβre missing the point. Every exclusion is a signal: who you want to reach, what youβre willing to pay for, and how your campaigns should perform.
Here are six decisions that define modern negative keyword strategy β and why they matter more than ever.
Negative keywords are how you sculpt a campaign so the right ad shows up for the right person. The userβs query should match the ad. The ad should match the landing page. That alignment is what creates a good experience for the person on the other side of the screen (a.k.a., your ideal client).
When that alignment breaks down, you waste budget. You also drag down click-through rate (CTR) and Quality Score, and push CPCs up. All of this is what ultimately makes the algorithm work against you in an ads account.
But many of us were never really taught how negatives fit into an overall account strategy. We were taught how to add them. Thereβs a big difference.
Now letβs get into the six strategic choices.
This is the first decision an account manager needs to make, and most people skip it.
Are you scraping the bottom of the barrel every week, pulling out every search term that didnβt convert? Are you letting things slide so you can keep mining new keyword opportunities? Or are you somewhere in the middle, adding negatives mostly to show that youβre doing something?
Thereβs no universal right answer. But you do need to pick a level of aggression and back it up based on the accountβs performance and goals.
A growth-focused account probably shouldnβt be aggressive. An efficiency-focused account probably should. A small-budget account that canβt afford to learn slowly often needs to be more aggressive than an enterprise account that can.
Pick the level. Defend the level when youβre working in the account and talking to your team. Then the rest of your choices become easier.
Negatives donβt match the same way regular keywords do β broad, phrase, and exact β but most advertisers default to one match type without thinking about why.
Hereβs how I think about it:
This isnβt an either/or decision. A real negative keyword strategy uses all three match types intentionally, in different places, and for different reasons.
Iβve seen everything here. Some account managers add negatives on a strict weekly cadence, even when the data doesnβt call for it. Some only touch them when something stops converting. Some only review when a quarterly check-in forces them to. And some add them just to look busy on a status report.
My recommendation: donβt add a negative just because a keyword didnβt convert, especially when youβre trying to scale. You never know if it wouldβve converted with a little more volume. Be careful, and tie the trigger back to your accountβs goals.
Both are valid. They just align to different goals in different accounts.
How far back are you looking when you make the call to add something as a negative?
A 30-day window is aggressive. Youβre cutting things off before theyβve had a real chance to convert. Thatβs appropriate for short-cycle ecommerce, fast-moving promotions, or tightly capped budgets. But this might not work for all accounts.
A 90-day window is balanced. Long enough for sales cycles to play out, short enough to actually act on. This is the default I recommend for most paid search accounts.
A 365-day window is conservative. Youβre giving every query maximum runway. Appropriate for high-consideration B2B or anything with a long buying cycle.
Longer time frames give individual queries more chances to succeed. Shorter time frames protect your budget faster. Pick the time frame that matches the aggressiveness level you set in your top choice, and donβt make these decisions in isolation from each other.
This is where the role of AI really starts to matter when it comes to negative keywords.
Some advertisers embed competitor keywords as negatives in non-brand campaigns just to keep the targeting clean. Some account managers let those queries through because theyβre converting, even if they technically βshouldnβt.β Some refuse to add negatives at the campaign level at all, because they trust the algorithm to figure out what should match where.
Consider that the machine and the algorithms have more information than we do. The platforms know what was searched before the query and more about user behavior. They know what was searched after. They know what session context the user is in. They can match queries to keywords in ways we canβt replicate manually.
But sculpting accounts is still how we communicate intent to that machine. If you donβt sculpt, the bidding algorithm doesnβt know what you actually want, and it just optimizes against the goals you handed it, which isnβt always the same thing as the outcomes you actually care about.
I lean toward more sculpting in 2026, not less. The algorithm has gotten better and will continue to improve, but so have the ways it can spend your budget on the wrong queries.
This is the choice that didnβt exist five years ago.
In 2026, you have options that previous generations of account managers never had:
The question isnβt which one is best. The question is: how comfortable are you removing yourself from the loop? At what level do you want AI to handle this task?
For some accounts that are highly templated, low-stakes, and high-volume, maybe fully delegated AI negative keyword management is fine. For most accounts, Iβd recommend a hybrid: AI surfaces candidates, and you approve them. The middle ground gives you speed without sacrificing oversight.
But the most important part is to make this decision intentionally, not by default, and to be able to defend the choice to key stakeholders. If youβre still doing all your negatives by hand in 2026, that should be a deliberate choice, not just βhow Iβve always done it.β
No matter which choices you make above, a handful of things still hold true:
Paul DeMott, owner of Helium, sees this most clearly in high-spend accounts:
The risk today isnβt under-negating. Itβs over-sculpting based on outdated assumptions.
Jordan Brunelle, owner of Good Growth Marketing, points to a related issue: shutting down queries too quickly because they donβt match the product or service literally.
Intent isnβt always obvious at the query level. It often becomes clear only at the conversion level.
Breanne Bartlett, a paid search consultant, frames it simply:
Top accounts arenβt restrictive. Theyβre responsive. They remove proven irrelevance, not theoretical inefficiency.
That tension between control and trust is showing up everywhere. As platforms introduce features like previewing the impact of negative keywords before applying them β something Menachem Ani, founder of a Google Premier Partner agency JXT, recently highlighted β the direction is clear: more data-driven decisions, less reactive cleanup.
At the same time, the core principle hasnβt changed. As Boris Beceric, a Google Ads consultant, reminded practitioners, efficiency starts with exclusion:
Becericβs post on LinkedIn reframes negatives as a proactive efficiency tool, not just a cleanup task, and underscores that deciding what not to target is just as strategic as deciding what to include.
Together, these perspectives capture the evolution of negative keyword strategy: from maintenance to signal-shaping, from exclusion to intent communication. The smartest account managers arenβt just adding negatives β theyβre auditing, previewing, and sculpting them with purpose and a larger goal in mind.
Negative keywords have always been part of paid search. Whatβs changed in 2026 is how much depends on how you guide β or defer to β the machine.
The real risk is making decisions about negative keywords on autopilot. Stale lists, over-sculpting, and unexamined habits quietly shape how the algorithm interprets your intent.
Every choice ties back to one question: what are the goals of this ad account?
A growth-focused account makes different choices than an efficiency-focused one. A small-budget account behaves differently from an enterprise one. A B2B account isnβt the same as high-velocity ecommerce. Even the βrightβ level of control shifts as Smart Bidding gains more signal.
Negative keywords arenβt a checklist in 2026. Theyβre a series of decisions that compound over time β and the account managers who make them intentionally, with fresh data, and clear goals, are the ones who deliver better results and can explain why.
