Quotes

  • “Without our content, Google has nothing to consume to make their answers.” - Barry Schwartz

  • “Not everything shows AI overviews, I think like 18 or 17, 16, 17, some number there where X percent of queries, a small percentage of queries under 20% right now are showing AI overviews. So take a look and see which queries are impacted.”

  • “The data right now is somewhere between like 55% and a little bit above 65% of all the links in the AI overviews are from the first 10 results. Now that leaves about 40% or so of links that are not in those 10 top results.”

  • “There are tons and tons of SEOs that are using AI for a lot of purposes, including content generation or making their workflows a lot easier for the repetitive tasks.”
