- AI-Era SEO — Overview The domain front door: how search optimization became AI-search visibility. The zero-click shift, the two citation gates, E-E-A-T as a binary filter, crawler access control, and the articles engine that operationalizes it all.
- Query Fan-Out — Why AI Search Doesn't Search What the User Typed AI search engines rewrite the user's question into multiple synthetic sub-queries and synthesize the answer from those. Google documents it for AI Mode; ChatGPT fans out on ~2/3 of prompts. Consequence: you can rank #1 for the typed phrase and still be invisible — the model searched a reformulated version.
- AI Visibility — Getting Found in AI-Generated Answers How to measure and grow your brand's visibility in AI search results from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Mode (75M daily users as of May 2026). The 2026 load-bearing finding: E-E-A-T behaves as a binary AI visibility filter — 96% of AI Overview citations come from sources with strong E-E-A-T signals.
- The Articles Engine: Systematic Content Publishing for AI-Search Visibility How to run a continuously-maintained articles program that wins AI citations — the six-stage engine, the measured freshness evidence, Google's scaled-content-abuse line, and the honest gaps in cadence economics.
- GEO/AEO Benchmarks 2026: The Data on AI Search Impact Hard numbers on AI Overviews, AI Mode adoption, citation rates, E-E-A-T off-site validation, traffic decline, and what's actually working in generative search optimization. Mid-July 2026: independent longitudinal trust data lands (KPMG×Melbourne systems-trust declining, Ipsos product-optimism rising) — the picture is construct-dependent; the AI-answer-trust decline remains vendor-only.
- Zero-Click Strategy — Operating When 64% of Searches Don't Click In 2026, ~65-68% of Google searches end without a click (SparkToro/Similarweb, July 2026 update: 68.01%); Google AI Mode runs 92-94% zero-click; AI Overviews appear in 89% of brand searches. The traffic-first SEO model is structurally broken. The 2026 alternative: brand-and-visibility-first. Win on-SERP and in-AI-answer presence, build off-site authority signals, and measure visibility rather than just clicks. The honest framing: traditional SEO isn't dead — but the assumption that ranking equals traffic is.
- Agentic Search — How AI Agents Decide Which Brands Get Found Understanding agentic search and how AI agents evaluate, compare, and recommend brands on behalf of users
- AI Crawler Access Control — Bot Taxonomy, robots.txt vs WAF How to decide which AI bots to allow or block: the training / retrieval / user-fetch taxonomy, why a WAF enforces where robots.txt only requests, and the current (2026) user-agent strings for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, and Meta crawlers.

- Agentic Search Optimization (ASO) — The New SEO How to optimize your brand for AI agents that search, compare, and purchase on behalf of users. May 2026 update with E-E-A-T binary filter finding (96% of AI Overview citations come from strong-E-E-A-T sources), brand-mentions-3x-stronger-than-backlinks correlation, and Google AI Mode adoption (75M daily users).
- E-E-A-T — Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness E-E-A-T is Google's quality framework — and in 2026 it behaves less like a soft ranking signal and more like a near-binary filter on whether AI engines will cite you at all.
- New Site SEO: How to Rank Without a Big Budget Practical strategies for ranking a new website in 2026. Focus on hyper-specific long-tail queries, GSC audits, and multi-channel distribution.
- Retrieval vs Citation — Why Being Fetched by AI Isn't Being Cited AI assistants fetch dozens of pages per query but cite only about half. ChatGPT cited ~50% of retrieved URLs in Ahrefs' 2026 analysis; the other half feed the answer as uncredited background. What predicts which retrieved page gets the citation: title-to-prompt semantic match and readable URL slugs. The gap reframes GEO from 'get retrieved' to 'get cited.'
- The 'Best X' Listicle — The Most-Cited Content Format in AI Search Why 'Best [category]' comparison listicles are the single most-cited content format in AI chatbots (43.8% of ChatGPT's cited page types per Ahrefs 2026), how top-third placement drives recommendation, why freshness is load-bearing, and the strategy: own the list in your category or get placed highly in third-party lists.
- What 1 Billion Data Points Say About AI Search — Ahrefs' 2026 Studies, Calibrated A calibrated synthesis of 14 large-scale Ahrefs studies (1B+ data points) on AI search optimization: the two-discovery-layer split, the accelerating CTR collapse, YouTube as the top visibility correlate, schema markup's measured null effect on AI citations, 'Best X' listicle dominance, and the retrieval-vs-citation gap. Single-vendor measurement — graded by evidence tier, with the one quasi-experimental result flagged.
