What will be your motivation to write useful content now, if the new search engines are just stealing our content?

We had a simple deal: we spend thousands of hours writing useful and validated content, and Google sends traffic to us. The first hit we took from Google was when smaller blogs were no longer presented. Now another hit is coming: answers will be provided directly to users with a small annotation about our website. Users won't need to visit our site; if they have additional questions, they can simply ask the AI chat again. I predict a 90% traffic loss for all informational, data, products, and Q&A pages.

No one will invest time in producing useful content anymore. Everything will be AI-generated. There might be some large, paywalled sites remaining. The Internet will be filled with fake and AI-generated content. These AI systems will crawl AI-generated content to produce even more AI content.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns.

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
