The industryβs first 2nm chipsets are launching later this year, with Qualcommβs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 ProΒ rumored on multiple occasions to take advantage of TSMCβs next-generation lithography. As expected, this manufacturing process is costly, with phone makers likely adopting these solutions in their absolute top-tier offerings, and in the middle of a DRAM crisis, their margins will be drastically affected.

In this episode of PPC Live The Podcast, I sit with Veronika HΓΆller to unpack a real-world PPC mistake β from campaigns that looked perfect on the surface to the deeper issues that were quietly killing performance.
Veronika Holler didnβt walk into a broken account. Quite the opposite. Everything looked right β clean structure, strong creatives, solid budgets, conversions coming in. On paper, it was a high-performing PPC setup.
But there was one problem: it wasnβt driving revenue.
That disconnect forced a deeper look beyond surface-level metrics. Because while impressions, clicks and conversions were ticking up, the campaigns werenβt actually delivering business impact β and thatβs where things started to unravel.
The turning point didnβt come from inside the account. It came from looking outside it.
During competitor research, Veronika realised the brand sounded just like everyone else. The messaging blended into the market. There was no clear reason for a user to choose them over competitors.
From a user perspective, the ads werenβt wrong β they were just forgettable. And in a crowded category, βgoodβ isnβt enough.
That insight reframed the entire problem: it wasnβt a performance issue. It was a positioning issue.
Instead of tweaking the existing campaigns, Veronika made a bold call: rebuild everything.
That meant new messaging, new creatives, and a new strategic foundation. One key shift was defining not just ideal customers, but also who they didnβt want to target β using anti-ICPs to sharpen the messaging.
They also introduced stronger localisation, tailored landing pages by market, and platform-specific strategies instead of copying campaigns across channels.
It wasnβt optimisation. It was a reset. And it worked.
But earlier in her career, Veronika made a far more painful mistake β one that many PPC marketers will recognise.
She applied a recommended target CPA⦠without increasing the budget.
The result? Campaigns stopped delivering. Performance tanked. And worst of all, it went unnoticed over a weekend.
By Monday, the damage was clear β and the client was not happy.
There was no hiding from it.
Veronika immediately admitted the mistake, explained what happened, and took responsibility. That honesty changed the outcome. While the client was initially frustrated, the situation de-escalated quickly because there was no deflection β just a clear plan to fix it.
The lesson stuck: donβt blindly apply recommendations, and always understand the full context before making changes.
For Veronika, mistakes arenβt something to avoid β theyβre essential.
βYou can only be good if you fail,β she said.
That mindset now shapes how she works and how she mentors others. Mistakes arenβt a sign of incompetence β theyβre a sign that work is being done, tested, and improved.
And more importantly, sharing those mistakes helps others avoid repeating them.
Despite all the changes in PPC, one problem keeps showing up: tracking.
Broken implementations, over-reliance on micro conversions, and poor setup in tools like Google Tag Manager are still common.
In a world of smart bidding and automation, bad data doesnβt just limit performance β it actively misleads it.
Without clean tracking, even the best campaigns will fail.
Veronika is clear on one thing: AI is not a shortcut to better performance.
If you feed it average data, youβll get average results.
Too many marketers rely on AI tools to analyse accounts without first understanding what needs to be improved. But AI canβt create differentiation β it can only optimise whatβs already there.
Standing out still requires human thinking, strategy, and creativity.
The biggest takeaway isnβt tactical β itβs mental.
Donβt aim for perfection. Donβt blindly follow recommendations. And donβt assume tools will do the thinking for you.
Instead, trust your instincts, test your ideas, and accept that mistakes are part of the process.
Because in performance marketing, the real risk isnβt failing β itβs playing it safe and blending in.

Google appears to be pulling parts of the Google Tag Manager interface directly into Google Ads β a move that could simplify how advertisers manage tracking and tags.
Whatβs happening. Advertisers are spotting a new βManageβ option inside the Data Manager section of Google Ads that opens Tag Manager controls without leaving the platform.
The update was first shared by Marthijn Hoiting and Adriaan Dekker, who posted screenshots showing Tag Manager elements embedded within the Google Ads environment.
Why we care. Tag setup and troubleshooting have long been a friction point for advertisers, often requiring multiple tools and technical handoffs.
Bringing Tag Manager functionality into Google Ads could reduce that complexity β especially for smaller teams or advertisers without dedicated dev support.
Zoom in. Inside the Data Manager interface, users can see connected data sources (including Tag Manager) and trigger management actions directly from within Google Ads.
That suggests Google is moving toward a more unified measurement workflow, where tagging, data connections and campaign setup live closer together.
Between the lines. This aligns with Googleβs broader push to simplify measurement and improve data accuracy β particularly as privacy changes and signal loss make clean tracking more critical.
It also mirrors recent efforts to make tagging more accessible without heavy technical setup.
What to watch:
Bottom line. Google is quietly reducing the gap between campaign setup and measurement β bringing tagging closer to where ads are actually managed.
First seen. This update was shared by Adrian Dekker on LinkedIn, who credited Data and Analytics specialist Marthijn Hoiting for spotting it.
Google will no longer support FAQ rich results as of May 7, 2026. This means you will no longer see FAQ rich results in the Google Search results going forward.
Plus, Google Search Console will stop reporting on FAQ structured data.
What Google said. Google posted a note at the top of the FAQ structured data developer documentation saying:
FAQ rich results are no longer appearing in Google Search. We will be dropping the FAQ search appearance, rich result report, and support in the Rich results test in June 2026. To allow time for adjusting your API calls, support for the FAQ rich result in the Search Console API will be removed in August 2026.
Remove code. You can remove the FAQ structured data from your code, if you want but you can also leave it. Other search engines may be able to continue to process it and use it for their own purposes.
Why we care. Rich results have helped web pages with click-through rates and get more traffic. FAQ rich results may have helped as well. But that is now no longer supported.
Keep an eye on your pages with FAQ structured data to see if your traffic from Google is impacted or not.

Thatβs where structured experimentation comes in. Prompt-level SEO requires more than assumptions or one-off wins. It requires repeatable testing frameworks that help isolate what actually influences LLM responses.
There are countless recommendations on how to improve your LLM presence. Experimentation is key to discovering what works for your industry and brand.
Hypothesis-driven testing is the way we structure these tests for our brands. It breaks things down in a structured way that can be replicated across tests and situations.
This framework creates a common approach to testing and helps you quickly understand the test and its outputs. The structure consists of three main pieces: if, then, because.
This framework requires some basic fundamentals that ensure youβre thinking through the test. It also allows you to go back later and validate whether you have tested these specific elements in the past and what the premises, theories, and outcomes were.Β
This helps because, as things change, the test elements may still be valid simply because the world shifts β changing the βbecauseβ section.
Before we get to the recommendations for testing best practices, here are some considerations when running these tests:
Now that you have the framework of the test, letβs think about the core elements of tests that can be used in prompt-specific testing.
Designing a reliable prompt-level SEO experiment requires isolating a single causal variable. This is crucial for confidently attributing changes in LLM response inclusion or position to a specific action.
When testing content modifications, the variable must be surgical. A common pitfall is changing too much at once (e.g., updating a product description and the pageβs schema).
Structured data (schema) provides explicit signals to both search engines and LLM ingestion layers. Testing this requires treating the schema update as the only change to the page.
This process involves establishing a stringent baseline, making the change, and then repeating the prompt query. This is an essential control method in lieu of true A/B testing on the LLM itself.
Protocol
With the speed of model evolution and the lack of detailed model insights, itβs difficult to ensure reproducibility of results. However, the goal is to move beyond simple βit worked onceβ findings to build a durable methodology.
Ensure every test is documented using the βif, then, becauseβ hypothesis structure. This archives the premise, action, and expected outcome, allowing future teams to quickly validate whether a test remains relevant as LLMs evolve.
Define the testing environment (e.g., clear browser cache, no login state) and, where possible, use APIs or synthetic testing platforms to remove the impact of personalization and location bias, which is analogous to controlling for personalized search results in traditional SEO.
The key to prompt-level SEO is rigorous methodology. By adopting a hypothesis-driven approach, surgically isolating variables (content, entities, schema), and establishing strict before-and-after testing protocols, you can confidently move past speculation.Β
The path to influencing LLM responses is paved with controlled, documented, and reproducible experiments.
For the best part of two decades, we had a clear and accepted mandate: Get your brand to the top of the search results page. The problem was understood, the success metrics were agreed upon, and a supporting ensemble of tools, talent, and tactics was built around solving it.
Rankings were the scoreboard. Position 1 meant visibility. Traffic followed, and a brandβs value seemed to follow it.
Itβs this core premise that is now under serious renegotiation with the search landscape changing more in the past 18 months than in the previous 10 years combined:Β
Whatβs required now isnβt a new set of tactics. Itβs a fundamental change in mindset. This is the SEO problem of 2026. Let me show you why recognition is your new goal and how to earn it.
SEO has always been a discipline that chases the algorithm.
We reverse-engineered signals, built strategies around them, and then scrambled to adapt when they shifted. Yes, there has always been the argument that if you cater your content to humans, you typically perform well.
That said, there have been obvious shifts in the types of content that resonate with the algorithm and those that donβt, dictated by changes to the Google algorithm at specific times.Β Β
It was never a perfect or complete system; anyone who worked through (or has since learned about) the Panda and Penguin years will tell you the algorithm was always a shifting target. But the fundamentals remained stable. Aim to rank well, get found, win.
The shift weβre living through now isnβt a Google core update. Instead, weβre experiencing a structural change in how information is surfaced, interacted with, and ultimately trusted.Β
Thereβs a mental model baked into traditional SEO: If youβre at the top of the SERP, youβre visible. That model was accurate for a long time. But it isnβt now.
AI and LLM platforms β whether Googleβs own generative features or external tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude β donβt crawl the SERP and pick from the top results. They build understanding from training data, citation patterns, entity relationships in knowledge graphs, and signals about who is genuinely considered authoritative on a given topic.Β
A high-ranking page can be largely invisible to these systems if the brand behind it hasnβt established recognition and preference (a.k.a., the quality of being known, cited, and trusted beyond its own domain).
Dig deeper: Entity-first SEO: How to align content with Googleβs Knowledge Graph
If your instinct is to treat it like another algorithm update, to find the new signals, maybe even game the new system, you are missing how dramatically the search landscape has shifted.
Think about it this way:
By every traditional metric, this brand would be seen as winning. And yet, when their potential customers ask an AI or LLM platform which brand solutions to consider in their category, this brand doesnβt come up.
When Googleβs AI Overview summarizes the landscape, it cites three competitors. When a journalist writes a roundup and asks an LLM to help research it, this brand is invisible.
They rank. Yet itβs as if they donβt exist β because ranking well doesnβt solve for recognition.
Even if the dashboards still report rankings and the tools still track positions one through ten, optimizing for a metric thatβs losing its meaning is no longer a viable strategy.
A growing share of search journeys now end before a user ever clicks a result, because they get the information they need without having to click through.
AI Overviews takes the majority of the headlines for this, but there has also been a huge shift in the SERP towards featured snippet expansions. This is further amplified by the adoption ofΒ LLM-powered assistants that surface direct answers outside the traditional search environment.
Meanwhile, queries are increasingly conversational, with more and more users asking AI tools questions the way theyβd ask a knowledgeable colleague or trusted friend, and theyβre expecting thorough, contextualized, and personalized answers rather than a list of blue links.
In this world, the question your SEO strategy needs to answer is no longer βhow do I rank?β, itβs βIs my brand the preferred option in the conversation?βΒ
And these are absolutely different questions that require different answers.
Think about how an AI model decides what to say when someone asks, βWhatβs the best CRM for a small B2B team?β It doesnβt run a Google search and summarize the top result. It draws on patterns it sees throughout the knowledge at its disposal:
The brands that appear in that answer are the ones that have accumulated recognition across the broader landscape, not just the one that ranks.
This is becoming an invisible tax on brands that have focused exclusively on rankings. They may dominate the SERP today. But in the AI-mediated version of that same query, theyβre absent.
βRecognitionβ doesnβt have to be a vague brand concept. It has specific, measurable components. Letβs break them down.
This is the most basic layer. Does your brand name appear, in context, across the search universe?
Not just on your own domain, but in industry publications, analyst reports, user reviews, forum discussions, podcast transcripts, and news coverage. You must also consider where audiences are spending time, because they are developing brand awareness on social-search destinations, too.
AI and LLM platforms are increasingly trained on and drawing from the wider internet when answering questions. Certain domains are massively outperforming others in terms of citations from these platforms, Semrush found.Β
If your brand is only present on your own website, youβre harder to find and arenβt in the platformsβ go-to sources.
This goes beyond keyword rankings. Topical authority means that when a given subject area comes up, your brand is consistently associated with it β not just by Googleβs algorithms, but by writers, analysts, content creators, and communities.Β
Itβs the difference between a site that covers a topic and a brand that owns the conversation in peopleβs minds who discuss it.
The signal here isnβt domain authority. Itβs authority, trust, and relevance (a.k.a., preference). You are asking, βDoes our brand appear alongside the recognized leaders in our space?β and βWhen people discuss an essential topic, are we in the conversation?β
Dig deeper: Why topical authority isnβt enough for AI searchΒ
This is the most technical layer and the one most often overlooked. An βentityβ in SEO terms is a clearly defined, consistently described βthing.β This could be:Β
Put simply, itβs something that knowledge systems can reliably identify and categorize.
If your brandβs description varies across your site, your Wikipedia page (if you have one), your Google Business Profile, your Crunchbase entry, and your LinkedIn page, you create ambiguity for every system.
This is as confusing for your human audience as it is for the AI/LLM layer trying to understand who you are and what you do.
Entity clarity means having a canonical, consistent answer to the questions:
Brands with strong entity clarity get pulled into knowledge graphs. They get cited. They get recognized.
Dig deeper: From links to brand signals: The new SEO authority model
True recognition cannot be built overnight. Instead, your focus is on engineering discovery that develops recognition over time. With that in mind, here are six ways to begin the process:
Go and look at how your brand is described in the places that matter:Β
You should be asking if the messaging here is consistent. If your homepage describes you as βan AI-powered B2B sales platformβ while the content you discuss and share on your YouTube says βCRM software for startups,β you have an entity problem.Β
Write a canonical description of your company β one clear, accurate, jargon-free paragraph β and work to get it reflected everywhere. Then mold the content format to the needs of the various platforms you want to show up on.
Alongside this, decide which conversations are most important to your brand and consistently look to own these topics. This is part engineering discovery, but itβs also developing your entity and the topics that contribute to that.
Dig deeper: Why entity authority is the foundation of AI search visibility
Thereβs a difference between content that ranks on a SERP and content that gets cited.
Ranking content is optimized around keywords, and too often, content has become homogenized in trying to meet the expectations of an algorithm so that you can rank.
Citable content, on the other hand, is original, specific, and useful enough that other people (and AI/LLM platforms) want to reference it. Citable content is strong enough that your audience feels like they miss an integral part of a conversation by not featuring or citing the asset or source.Β
Think original research and surveys, clear and ownable frameworks or methodologies, definitions that donβt yet exist clearly in your space, and data that journalists, analysts, creators, and bloggers actually want to quote or build upon.
If the only content on your site are search-optimized blog posts, ask yourself:Β
If the answer is no, thatβs the gap to close.
This isnβt about traditional link building. Itβs about building presence in the right conversations, be that industry publications, podcasts, analyst briefings, conference talks, social content, or community forums.
Every time your brand name appears in a meaningful context outside your own domain, youβre building the recognition signal that AI and LLMs draw on and that resonates with humans in the journey.
Prioritize quality of context over volume. A single, substantive mention in a respected publication is worth more than fifty low-quality directory listings.
A keyword is a moment. Intent is a journey. Traditional SEO has trained us to think in snapshots: a user types a query, we rank for it, we win.
But a real buying journey in 2026 looks nothing like that. It might start with a conversational AI query, move through a Reddit thread, surface a YouTube comparison, hit a review platform, and only then arrive at a branded search. The keyword at any single point is almost beside the point.
What matters is whether your brand shows up meaningfully across the full arc of that journey β not just at the moment someone is ready to convert.
Start by mapping intent honestly.Β
Then audit where your brand is present, absent, or ambiguous across it.
The second part is clarity. As search becomes more conversational and AI-mediated, the brands that get surfaced are those that clearly communicate what they do, who they serve, and why theyβre the right choice β consistently across every touchpoint.Β
Vague positioning might survive a keyword-match algorithm. It wonβt survive a language model deciding whether your brand is the right answer to a specific human question.
Be specific and consistent. Make sure your description holds up whether someone finds you on your own site, in a third-party review, or in an AI-generated summary.
Dig deeper: If you canβt say what problem your brand solves, AI wonβt either
Your current reporting probably tracks keyword rankings, organic traffic, and backlinks. I would argue that this should continue, but there should be a shift in the importance of these metrics versus the following signal:
You can then use the following alongside these and begin to further understand if your brand is being recognized:
This will then allow you to look towards the most important SEO metric there should ever be: revenue. Especially if you can assess and report on the development of average order value (AOV) and lifetime value (LTV) or the specific values of the pages that have seen higher traffic because of an increase in unlinked mentions and/or brand searches.
When you begin to think about these considerations, the most important shift isnβt adding new metrics to your dashboard. Itβs changing what you treat as the primary signal.
Branded search volume, specifically branded search paired with intent, is one of the clearest indicators of genuine preference in the user journey and also the competitive landscape.
Someone searching for you by name, combined with a buying signal, isnβt discovering you. Theyβve already decided youβre worth considering. Thatβs recognition doing its job.
The goal is to grow that signal deliberately, and then make sure that when someone arrives with that intent, you meet it head on.
A branded intent search that lands on a generic homepage is a wasted moment. These users are telling you exactly what they need. Your job as an SEO in 2026 is to have already built the page, the answer, the experience that closes the gap.
The supporting metrics β unlinked mentions, referral traffic, direct traffic, AOV, LTV β all tell you whether recognition is compounding into something commercially meaningful.Β
And thatβs ultimately the conversation that needs to happen in every boardroom and strategy session: Recognition isnβt a brand vanity play, itβs a revenue strategy.
Rankings as the primary focus have gotten us so far. Recognition, with a view and monitoring mindset on the signals identified here, is what takes us, the SEOβs role and importance to brands further than ever before.
Hereβs the uncomfortable truth about the recognition-first approach: Itβs slower.
You canβt optimize your way to being well-known in the same way you can optimize your way to a ranking β and I think itβs whatβs most intimidating to SEOs.
Recognition compounds over time, developed through consistent presence, genuine authoritativeness, relevance, and the slow accumulation of trustworthiness. But thatβs also what makes it durable.Β
Rankings fluctuate with every algorithm update, and the value of a No. 1 ranking is seemingly shrinking with every update due to the continued and increasing number of SERP features and AI/LLM integrations into the SERP.
Recognition, though, once established, is much harder to displace. To own AI-mediated search in the coming years, spend this period building something that AI systems β and the increasing number of humans utilizing them β genuinely recognize as authoritative.
The No. 1 ranking is a vanity metric if it ends up below the fold, stuck under a SERP of AI/LLM integrations and SERP features β ultimately ensuring nobody knows who you are.
Start building recognition. Your appearance in those top-of-page SERP features and AI/LLM integrations will follow.

Improving technical SEO on your site may not be enough to move the needle these days.Β
Once a site reaches technical parity with its competitors β the point at which a proper infrastructure no longer gives you an advantage β Google shifts its ranking criteria toward relevance. And relevance is determined by aligning with search intent.Β
Letβs talk about how to make your site more relevant.
An intent mismatch occurs when the copy on a page doesnβt match what the user is expecting to find on it. This happens when pages arenβt relevant to a topic or have mismatched signals.
This generates poor behavior signals β users click through from a SERP, see that the page doesnβt answer their need, and leave. Google interprets these signals as evidence that the page doesnβt satisfy the query.Β
This can lead to a decline in rankings, which means fewer users see the page, which means the behavioral signals worsen. Itβs a feedback loop that technical SEO alone canβt resolve.
The SEO toolkit you know, plus the AI visibility data you need.
In the early stages of implementing an SEO strategy, the needle can move quickly. If a site is operating below the technical baseline needed for Google to properly evaluate it, applying simple fixes β such as fixed crawl errors, resolved duplicate content issues, improved page speed, and adding schema β can produce big gains.
However, after these changes, your siteβs technical foundations are now comparable to those of your main competitors β you hit a ceiling. Now, Google isnβt ranking pages based on which ones it can access the easiest, but on those that best satisfy the userβs query.Β
Your technical infrastructure, or lack thereof, no longer disadvantages you, but now the rules of the ranking game have changed.
This is where intent alignment becomes the primary lever for improvement.Β
Elements that have an impact on a pageβs intent, and how Google decides whether the intent matches the page, include:Β
Click-through rate can be determined by your title tag, meta description, URL structure, and schema. It is also measured against intent.Β
For example, if your title tag is optimized for a keyword but doesnβt match the userβs query, your CTR will drop. Google treats a low CTR as a relevance signal and adjusts rankings accordingly.
Time-on-page, scroll depth, and interaction rates can suffer when intent doesnβt align with a page.Β
If a user is searching to purchase something but lands on a how-to guide, they may exit that page within seconds. The same can be said of a user looking for an emergency plumber who lands on a page without a phone number.Β
Engagement signals feed directly into how Google evaluates a pageβs usefulness for a given query.
The three Core Web Vitals β Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) β determine page loading speed.
A transactional page that loads slowly suffers more than a slow-loading informational article. With the transactional page, the user is ready to buy and their patience is minimal, whereas a reader in research mode can tolerate a longer wait.Β
CWV thresholds matter everywhere, but their impact on conversion and bounce behavior is greater on high-intent pages.Β
Schema markup tells Google explicitly what type of content is on a page. Generally:
When schema type contradicts the content on a page, Google gets a conflicting signal, resulting in a traffic drop.
The anchor text of internal links tells Google about the page thatβs being linked to, including its intent.Β
If a transactional landing page receives internal links with informational anchor text β βlearn more about X,β rather than βget a quote for Xβ or βbuy Xβ βΒ the intent signal Google receives about that pageβs purpose gets diluted.
Google uses URL patterns to infer page type.Β
For example, URLs sitting under /blog/ are treated with informational bias. A product or service page buried under a blog path fights against that structural expectation, regardless of its content, and it may not rank well.Β
If your site has multiple pages targeting the same keyword but with different intents, neither is likely to rank well. They compete against each other and dilute the signal Google receives.Β
To fix, use canonical tags to clearly signal which page is the preferred one for a given keyword, consolidate or redirect competing pages where appropriate, and ensure your internal linking reinforces the canonical choice.
Hereβs an example of a common intent mismatch and some steps to audit your content and fix it.Β
For example, if a user searches for βfinancial analysis software,β theyβre looking to buy software. The keyword phrase is highly transactional.Β
But if your site targets this keyword phrase for an informational blog post that explains how a person can complete a financial analysis report themselves, this creates a mismatch.
The user is looking for a product that does the analysis for them, which means they want to compare features, understand pricing, see integrations, or book a demo.Β
The keyword phrase should be applied to a dedicated product or landing page that clearly outlines functionality, benefits, use cases, and pricing. This would align more with the userβs needs, resulting in more inquiries, leads, and conversions.
To fix intent mismatches, to start, compile a list of the top performing keywords that best describe your business and manually check the Google rankings for each.
This initial research will tell you exactly what type of page and copy you should have for these keywords. For example:
Next, add the keywords to a spreadsheet and add a column for intent. Work down the list, adding whether you think the page is informational, commercial, transactional, or navigational.Β
You can then create another column that states the type of page that will rank well:Β
Research your competitorsβ pages for the keywords youβre targeting. Analyze and note what they have that your pages donβt have.
They may have:
Consider how to improve your own pages to match theirs.Β
Once youβve made changes to your pages, track their performance to see whether they helped. Look at:
Technical SEO is still important, especially for complex, enterprise-scale sites. Here are some ways that technical SEO work can still move the needle significantly, in ways that content optimization alone canβt.
An ecommerce site with thousands of URLs can have its crawl budget consumed by low-value pages before its allotment reaches high-intent category and product pages that you want to rank.Β
Cleaning up low-value pages is purely technical work and will ensure your crawl budget goes toward pages that count.Β
Technical SEO is crucial when handling international sites that contain pages in multiple languages.Β
A keyword thatβs purely informational in one market may be transactional in another, reflecting different buyer behaviors and levels of market maturity. Hreflang implementation, regional subdomain or subdirectory structures, and URL strategies all affect whether the right page, with the right intent, reaches the right audience.
A log file analysis will reveal which pages Google is successfully crawling and how frequently they are. For sites with intent alignment problems, Google often spends a disproportionate amount of attention crawling low-value or misaligned pages, while high-intent pages are visited infrequently.Β
For small sites with a clean structure and limited number of URLs, technical SEO can reach parity quickly, so the need to shift to intent alignment happens sooner. For large, complex sites, technical and intent work often need to happen in parallel.
Track, optimize, and win in Google and AI search from one platform.
Technical SEO is still important today β think of it as a foundation that the rest of the site sits on. Pages that canβt be crawled, indexed, or rendered correctly will be unable to rank, regardless of how well their content matches user intent.
Think of intent alignment as the ceiling β itβs what determines how high a technically sound page can rank, and whether it converts the traffic it earns.Β
Every page on a site should have a clearly defined intent, expressed in the right format, with the right content type. And they should also be supported by technical signals, be it schema, URL structure, relevant anchor text, etc., so that the pageβs intent is constantly reinforced.Β

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¦]

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.
