Is $8k a month fair for "AI SEO" when nobody can show a single citation moved?

My company added an "AI Visibility" line to our SEO retainer this quarter. Same agency, same crew, $3k more a month. What do we get for it? A slide deck with screenshots of ChatGPT answers, no prompt set, no before/after, nothing dated. I asked for the actual prompts they test against. They didn't have one. I've been reading about outfits that run this as a measured experiment, fixed prompts, before/after share of voice. HumansWith.AI does this, so does Profound. That's the bar now, not screenshots. I'm in-house, not an agency guy. Just trying to figure out if paying extra for vibes dressed up as AI SEO is normal. Or if I'm getting played twice in one retainer. submitted by /u/seth_bingo [link] [comments] from The SEO Authority https://ift.tt/c1jMuLw

ChatGPT loves us, Gemini apparently has no idea we exist

Been testing the same commercial queries across a few models and the differences are kinda ridiculous. We're showing up consistently in ChatGPT for one category and then almost disappear when I check Gemini. Different competitors too. Anyone else seeing gaps this big between engines? Starting to think combining everything into one AI visibility score hides more than it helps. submitted by /u/Quinnsation [link] [comments] from The SEO Authority https://ift.tt/jiMdmeI

Newbie to SEO

I'm doing an internship at a local private medical clinic in Spain. How would you compete with a clinic that already has a strong SEO strategy and is consistently doing all the right things? I'm trying to figure out what areas I should focus on when the main competitor already ranks well, has good content, strong local SEO, reviews, backlinks, etc. submitted by /u/No-Remote-6916 [link] [comments] from The SEO Authority https://ift.tt/sf6SWHM

Why won't Google increase impressions/exposure on a query where I have a high CTR?

Greetings everyone, I’m looking at some data in Google Search Console and I’m deeply confused by Google's logic. My website is new, it's ~6-7 months old that's an important info. I have some specific search queries where my site gets a very low volume of impressions but click rate is 20-100% and position is 1-5 and maybe 8%. Isn't Google logic: "This is getting a click, show to more people until CTR stabilizes." ? so higher CTR and higher impressions until the true value shows ? I am almost 100% sure that the total searches for these queries is not the limiting factor. Is it because google is still testing the website ? It's showing it in some searches in top positions then hiding it almost completely ? Appreciate any insights or advice. submitted by /u/telgou [link] [comments] from The SEO Authority https://ift.tt/WInq4F8

Google Testing Thinner AI Overview Citations Panel

Via u/rustybrick - apparently Google is testing a thinner AIOcitations panel: Google is testing a thinner design for the citations/link panel on the right side of the AI Overview. The citations panel is noticeably thinner and may be less noticeable to searchers, maybe leading to fewer clicks? This was spotted by Khushal Bherwani who posted on X saying, "Google AI reference left side panel with different style." I am able to replicate it, here is the new thinner style: submitted by /u/WebLinkr [link] [comments] from The SEO Authority https://ift.tt/IASU5hp
