Wow, a comprehensive study of Google's AI Mode shows that people almost NEVER leave the AI window to go to websites: www.searchenginejournal.com/what-our-ai-mode-user-behavior-study-reveals-about-the-future-of-sear... . If you don't know, Google AI Mode is an AI feature in Google search that works like Chat GPT - you interact with it. It's available almost everywhere and just now is rolling out in Australia. What this means is that you REALLY need to be cited as a source or mentioned as a supplier in the AI results, and for that to happen you have to have comprehensive information about your business/brand, products and services on your website and elsewhere. Test now on Google's Gemini: gemini.google.com/ to see what Google has on you, and also www.perplexity.ai/ to get suggestions as well.

The article pulls together real data and publisher experiences, explains why Google’s talking about “higher‑quality” clicks while overall traffic slides, and lays out how to adapt — build brand, grow own audiences (newsletters, apps, podcasts), and optimise to get cited in AI Overviews.

The Impact Of AI Overviews & How Publishers Need To Adapt

Traffic losses tied to AI Overviews are not temporary fluctuations but indicators of a deeper shift in search economics for publishers and marketers.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
Documents from Google's monopoly-related court case have revealed what seems obvious: Google uses Chrome data and user-activity as part of its assessment of websites for search results. This almost certainly means that Click Through Rates (CTR) like this aren't good news, and may well be keeping your rankings down, despite all of your SEO efforts. The response? Ensure your meta title and meta description are compelling. The title attracts attention to your result and the description sells the click.

Organic clicks are going down as a result of Google AI Overviews and the rise of zero-click searches. If you’re still chasing keywords and backlinks, you’re missing where search is headed. This piece lays out a practical playbook for the AI era: build omnichannel visibility (think Reddit, TikTok, YouTube), optimise for AI Overviews with structured, conversational content, strengthen branded search and authority, and use AI to assist human-led content that’s fresh and genuinely helpful.

📰 Big news from Google: AI-generated images won’t hurt your SEO rankings.
In a recent Q&A, Google’s Gary Illyes made it clear that using AI-generated visuals—so long as the rest of your content is solid and human-reviewed—won’t lead to penalties
This is a reassuring update for anyone experimenting with AI tools to create site images, blog graphics, or social media visuals.
Takeaway: Focus on quality—not the tool you used to create it. If your image supports valuable, accurate content, go ahead and use AI as your visual assistant.
