Relying Too Much On AI Is Backfiring For Businesses via @sejournal, @MattGSouthern
Businesses adopting AI tools without proper planning are facing costly setbacks.
Businesses adopting AI tools without proper planning are facing costly setbacks.
Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today…
PPC drives results fast. SEO builds over time. Here’s how to budget for both with realistic expectations and measurable business outcomes.
Think AI will replace you? Not so fast. New research shows your human instincts still matter, especially in marketing and content.
Google’s Nick Fox said that AI Mode has begun rolling out to Workspace accounts in the US.
A week or so ago, Cloudflare announced it would block AI bots by default and offer a new pay per crawl initiative to compensate you all for your content that AI just consumes for free. But as most SEOs know, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews can’t be blocked without really blocking your site from Google Search.
Google has pushed out an update to its keyword planner tool that gives you new forecast views to get predictions on your keywords by regions and device/platform. The update also mentions that grouped ideas are now in your keyword ideas section.
Google is testing labeling search result snippets with “low price,” “typical price” and I assume “high price” directly in the search results. We’ve seen these for product grid results before, but I am not sure if we’ve seen them for normal search result snippets.
A number of local SEOs are stating that Google is now requiring businesses that had their Google Business Profiles suspended to reverify at a higher rate than normal.
Google seems to be testing a new ad unit for hotel or nearby listings that have big blue buttons to book at the site being listed. I am honestly not sure if this is new but I am told it is.
