@lilyraynyc Yep seeing this in droves right now. Just actually briefly touched on this on a pod with @JeremyRiveraSEO today.
So much shortsightedness in search right now, on so many levels!
Very few seem to be thinking long term anymore.

3 months sounds about right
SE Ranking@SERanking
Could AI-generated content rank? Yes. And it may last about three months. We built 20 new domains and published 2,000 articles with no human input. In 36 days: - 71% got indexed - 8 sites ranked for 1,000+ keywords - 122K impressions 3 months in: completely gone. Was AI content the problem? Not exactly. The problem was publishing AI content with no strategy and no SEO behind it. These were new sites with no backlinks, no authority. Once Google picked up on that, the rankings dropped. And we’ve also seen the opposite: when AI-generated content is reviewed by a human and published on a strong domain, it can keep ranking and drive clicks. 📌 Read the full experiment: seranking.com/blog/ai-conten… We’re running new experiments now, and we’ll be sharing the results along the way. If you want us to test your theories too, drop them in the comments 👇

@adriaandotcom If you do a badge you must make it optional to link back to you and give the option for users to no follow the link — Or Google will likely hammer you.

We passed 35,000 users at Simple Analytics. Every month, around 1,000 new users sign up and use our product. Transparency notice: most of them are free users. We have 1,337 paying customers.
I was super scared about what support would cost us, so I built a community to forward people to and blocked the support email for free users. But you know what? Our tool is super self-serve. Users can figure it all out themselves, while our customer support is wide open.
That said, we don’t get much back from our free users. They obviously don’t pay us anything, but we expected a bit more talk about Simple Analytics online because of it. So we’re debating internally whether we should add a badge requirement to the Free plan.
Then free users would need to add a badge linking to Simple Analytics, which would give us something back: more eyeballs (even on smaller websites) and some backlinks (which might help, especially from bigger websites).
Open to other suggestions on what we can do to keep the Free plan attractive, while also making sense from a business perspective.

@Jacob_Naviaux @theficouple Same. 2k/mo for two healthy very young adults and 1 child. Insane.
English
@theficouple It’s a total racket.
Was paying $1349/mo for two young, healthy adults + 1 child last year.
For the same policy, monthly premium went up to $1944—44% increase in one year. Oh and they increased each of our deductibles from $6000 to $7000.
English
It's insane to how much private health insurance costs:
As a family of 3 we pay ~$1,800/mo with a $5,000/yr deductible.
Also our health insurance company raised our rate by 20% last year.
...Why is there such little support for self-employed people!?

@jmoserr Yeah and the idea that a "hacker news agent" is a core growth tool is lolz
English
Literally does…no tasks that an actual CMO does 🤣
Starting to realize 95% of AI tools are just marketed towards stingy solopreneur + SMBs.
People who want to pay $10/mo rather than make the key hires or investments needed to actually grow their biz.

@barrettjoneill For real man. Getting so tiresome. There is so much potential with AI but still so much slop to weed through.
We don’t need an AI tools telling us fixes to make on our website that..literally any SEO tool has told us for the last 10 years.

@jmoserr None of these tools do anything other than spit out info. No real work done.

@MaxxChewning … step 1 when you are worth $100m is to not live in an area where pumping gas has a high likelihood of a catastrophic event.

Hey dudes out there, what’s your take on your wife/girl pumping gas alone for her car? Cool with it or ideally you do it for her out of safety precautions?

I think most of what you’re describing is just topical authority though. You’re incorrectly ascribing general authority of Forbes historically to a very niche topic they aren’t actually authoritative on. Both Google and thus AI search are getting far better at not letting big sites rank in niches they have no business being in. That doesn’t mean you don’t need authority. It just means you are comparing authority incorrectly in this case, and your actual authoritative competition is not Forbes.
English
Mostly agree with this tbh.
The correlation vs causation thing is a real problem in GEO research and not enough people are calling it out. But "real authority" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your argument.
We ran an experiment some months ago wherein we placed a guest post for a client on Forbes (90+ DA) and it generated less than 1% of their AI citations for that topic cluster.
A niche blog I started called Foundonai (DA: 0) generated 15 to 20% of citations for the same cluster, same client.
Now by every traditional authority metric Forbes should have won that by a mile. It wasn't even close.
What i took from that: LLMs are not just asking "is this site authoritative?" they are asking "is this site part of the conversation my user is actually having?"
Forbes is authoritative about everything. That niche blog lives inside the spectrum of SaaS recommendations. That specificity is what got picked up.
So I don't think it's just "build real authority and AI finds you"
There is a 2nd dimension that is mcuh different from how google evaluates authority, and that gap is where the interesting work is.
English
"This GEO tactic gets you cited in LLMs!"
"Interesting. How do you know that...?"
"My research bro. I analyzed 10,000 prompts bro. All of the brands cited in ChatGPT have pages with expert quotes, statistics, inline citations, structured formatting, and topical depth…"
"Ok…sure, but did the page get cited because it had those features? Or did it have those features because it was already high-authority content that performs well everywhere...and AI search just picked it up too?"
Nobody peddling GEO fairy dust wants to answer this question.
Right now, a huge chunk of GEO research is treating correlation like causation. Like these content traits are brand new levers you can pull to "get cited in AI search."
Do X, get cited. Simple.
Except: if everyone can just add charts and tables to a post and get cited, how does AI determine YOUR brand gets mentioned in a short output of 5 solutions in a space where thousands exist?
It can't just be "do X tactics." That math doesn't work. What actually separates the brands getting cited? The same thing that's always separated them: real authority.
Google's own "How Search Works" documentation states openly that links are a core signal for content quality. AI is very similar. HubSpot found that 92% of AI mentions come not from your own content, but third party sites mentioning you.
So when someone says AI engines cite content with quotes, data, and good structure, they're simply observing a trait of authoritative content in general, not a "do x and get Y" causation factor.
And even if these content tweaks do influence AI citation likelihood, SparkToro's recent research found there's less than a 1 in 100 chance that ChatGPT or Google AI will give the same list of brand recommendations in any two responses...even on the identical prompt run 100 times.
The lists are different. The order is different. The number of results is different. Nearly every response is unique...so the agencies selling revolutionary GEO hacks are building on two broken assumptions: that these tactics directly cause citations (unproven), and that the outputs are consistent enough for those tactics to track reliably (they're not).
AI search is real. It matters. Heck, we generate tons of leads from it. But the brands winning there are the same ones that have been winning everywhere... because they built actual authority over years, not because they added a data table to a blog post last Tuesday.
Our own AI visibility increased the most by doing one thing: acquiring mentions + links on publications talking about our niche: being in more places that AI pulls from, increasing the likelihood AI mentions our brand.

@lilyraynyc @OritSiMu Sad part is doesn’t matter. He apparently does millions a year with his agency and saas. Uneducated brands eat it up I guess. Sad!

The funny thing about people publicly boasting about their explosive SEO campaigns is that bringing viral attention to them is the single best and fastest way to get caught, including potentially having multiple accounts in your GSC all penalized at the same time.
But alas, you would also have to be an experienced SEO to know that part.

@lilyraynyc Hah yep. Got mentioned as a top marketer in Nashville. Then an email asking if I wanted to buy plaques and physical awards 😭

So now not only are there companies selling placements on listicles, there are other companies selling plaques you can buy for having been featured on the listicle 😂😂😂

*filters ALL non branded keywords including tons of top of the funnel that will literally never convert
*compares that to AI search which nearly only recommends solutions when a prompt is bottom of funnel
*thinks there is a profound (pun intended) takeaway from the data

I think this is happening everywhere, not just SWE.
Everyone is outsourcing their thinking to AI.
I catch myself having AI draft or edit very simple emails for me…
Slippery slope where we all lose our actual skills and experience from over reliance on AI models.
