Drop in Google and drop in AI Search. That's something I have been saying for a long time (based on AI Search platforms scraping and leveraging Google results). Well, Lily just published an outstanding post covering this topic.
She analyzed 11 sites that dropped heavily with the late January/early February volatility to see if they also dropped in ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc. And yep, citations dropped after Google visibility/rankings dropped. I highly recommend reading Lily's post and making sure your coworkers and clients understand this is going on. *Do not* implement spammy or risky tactics for AEO/GEO... If you do that, and you get hammered in Google, you will also drop in AI Search.
From Lily: "The data shows a broad decline in both SEO traffic & AI search citations: every subfolder in the study (11 of 11) experienced a drop in both Google organic traffic and total AI search citations, with a significant average citation decline of -22.5%."
And more: "One recommendation I’ve been making since AI search entered the SEO conversation is that you shouldn’t invest in AEO/GEO tactics that could be detrimental to SEO performance. For example, using hidden prompt injections, cloaking, or self-promotional listicles (tactics that some have advocated for to boost AI search visibility) might be temporarily beneficial for AI search, but could cause massive headaches with Google and Bing’s organic search ranking algorithms down the line."
