Using SEO to improve discoverability by chatbots

EDIT: I should have specified genAI chatbots in my title. My bad.

Greetings. I have what I think is an interesting question. A lot of discussion and articles I've seen online about SEO and chatbots focus on how integrating chatbots onto a site can impact that site's SEO. What I have not seen is a lot of discussion around how potential buyers are using genAI chatbots to generate their consideration sets, and what brands can do to improve their inclusion in chatbots' replies to questions like this.

I have a client who shared a story from a partner firm of theirs. This partner firm recently signed a new client who found out about them by asking ChatGPT for recommendations in their domain. This partner firm was included in ChatGPT's response and ended up with a new client.

We tested ChatGPT and Gemini and asked for recommendations in my client's domain. Both bots understood the ask, which is a nichey B2B SaaS product, and offered up real, valid recommendations--but not my client. I asked Gemini why my client was omitted and it sounded legitimately ashamed. ("You are absolutely right! COMPANY is a well-established and highly regarded provider" ... "Its omission from the previous list was an oversight.")

But is there anything we can do from an SEO perspective to help our client be included in the first place??

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank? Thanks all! submitted by /u/runtmc2 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/31dJ82b

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
