Does llms.txt help me show up in AI answers?
llms.txt is a plain text file at the root of a site that lists key pages for AI systems. Plenty of advice says to add one. Does it change whether AI engines mention or cite you?
My impressions are up but clicks are flat. What is going on?
Search Console shows impressions climbing for weeks, but clicks and traffic have not moved. Is something broken?
Branded searches are growing but non-brand is flat. Is that bad?
Search Console shows more people searching for the business by name, while searches without the name are flat. Is that a good sign or a warning?
Can I use AI to write my website content?
AI tools can produce a page in a minute. Does Google penalize AI-written content, and how should a small team use these tools without hurting the site?
An AI engine states the wrong hours and services for my business. How do I fix it?
You ask an AI engine about your business and it gets the opening hours wrong, lists a service you stopped offering, and misses one you sell. There is no edit button. What can you actually do?
A new client asks how we will measure results in the first 90 days. What do I say?
Clients want proof early, but SEO results lag. How do you set expectations for the first 90 days without overpromising or sounding evasive?
How do I get more Google reviews without breaking the rules?
Reviews help local rankings and conversions, but the line between asking and gaming is blurry. What is allowed, and what puts the profile at risk?
How do I pitch AI visibility to clients who have not heard of it?
Plenty of clients have never heard of GEO or AI visibility. How do you explain it, and what makes the first conversation land?
Do I need to track all 9 AI engines or just ChatGPT and Google?
There are now many AI answer engines. Tracking all of them sounds expensive and noisy. Is it enough to watch ChatGPT and Google, or do the others matter?
Do I need a separate page for every town I serve?
Local SEO advice often says to build a page for each town. For a business serving a dozen towns, that is a lot of pages. Is it worth it?
Why do rank trackers show different positions from Search Console?
The rank tracker says position 4. Search Console says average position 7.3 for the same query. Which one is right?
What is the difference between a canonical tag and noindex?
Both tags seem to keep a page out of search results, and some sites use them together. What does each one do, and when should you use which?
