Conductor

🧐 The most important thing I learned from this week's Conductor #C3 conference wasn't from a speaker on stage, it was from speaking in-between the sessions 🤔 and at meet and greets 🤝 with over 40 professionals in the weeds... Talking one on one industry pros in SEO and AIO/GEO during the conference, they're catching heat 🥵 from the C suite or their manager for not getting more traffic from AI Search. On avg it's making up only 1%-3% of traffic, but CMOs and others are asking "then that means our competitors are getting it", but that is not the case. Most brands are seeing a loss of 20%-30% of SEO traffic and not growth in AI search traffic as the medium and surfaces/platforms of AI are not meant to drive visitors away. It's a simple user shift in behavior, like the Google "quick answer" before AI overviews (googles ai answers) before it. The query is being answered IN the search or AI answer results, therefore there's no reason for the user to come to your site as much. Thanks to Alisa Reznik for asking for more about what I'm hearing.

Are you spinning your wheels trying to get your content crawled by AI bots? You might accidentally be hurting your chances with these 4 common technical issues. These issues can block crawlers from properly accessing, indexing, and understanding your content. Check to make sure these factors won’t impact an AI bot’s ability to crawl your content: 🛠️ Over-reliance on JavaScript: The majority of AI crawlers do not render JavaScript and only see the raw HTML of a page. 🧩 Missing structured data/schema: Schema AKA structured data helps LLMs break down and understand your content. 🧑🔧 Technical issues: Technical issues like poor Core Web Vitals, crawl gaps, and broken links will impact how answer engines understand and crawl your site. 🔐 Gated/restricted content: Gated content is great for driving downloads and getting customer info, but it also means your best content isn't easily discoverable by AI. Learn how Conductor's real-time monitoring platform provides the 24/7 intelligence needed to master AI crawlability. Discover how to instantly identify technical blockers, optimize your site's health, and build the foundation for a successful AEO strategy in the age of AI. https://lnkd.in/ejYHNHtP
