Dropped off of AI overviews, but still ranking well. Help!

We have a site that ranks on page 1 for many competitive search terms but for some reason we are no longer cited in most AI overviews.

We used to have lots of citations, and we still get citations on very niche search terms but for the vast majority, it's almost like we have been filtered out.

Does anyone have any experience with a site that's dropped out of most AI overviews, even though the site ranks well for the same search terms (1st in some cases, and with snippets).

I've read that sites that were hit by helpful content are less likely to show in AI overviews. We did get hit for helpful content back in Sept 2023 but have recovered for the most part. So far, that's the only clue I have to go off.

Maybe it's an indicator that we haven't fully recovered from helpful content, or that we've dipped back below the "line" so to speak.

As mentioned, we were in almost all AI overviews but disappeared a few months ago. It's a bit puzzling because we still rank well.. so you'd think we would be in at least some of them.

Any input is much appreciated.

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. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

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 ...
