how do you separate an ai visibility improvement from a change in the sample?

for anyone including ai visibility in seo reports, how do you handle a higher score when fewer questions returned answers?

an invented example: a brand appears in 20 of 100 answers one week. the next week it appears in 20 of 80 completed answers because 20 other questions failed. the reported percentage rises from 20% to 25%, even though the number of mentions is unchanged

would you compare only the questions that returned answers in both weeks? and how would you explain the missing questions to a client, especially if the failed ones came from one topic?

i'm also interested in what you count as visibility. a visible brand mention, a source link and a recommendation can describe different things. which of those do you report separately, and what evidence do you keep behind the number?

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 ...
