@borjafat 20M clicks is a hell of a number, right up until the platform tweaks one rule and it vanishes overnight. Parasite SEO is building on rented land. Milk it, but funnel every click back to an asset YOU own. Rented reach is borrowed time.

@CustomIntent Sharpest AEO take on my feed this week. The engine cites whoever already did the work it'd otherwise do itself. A comparison table is pre-chewed reasoning. Brands fear naming rivals, so affiliate sites eat their lunch. Build the grid, put a verdict up top, get cited.

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

@RightRudderMktg The rep works for Google, not you. Every "recommendation", broad match, raise the budget, turn PMax on everywhere, moves money from your account into theirs. Free advice from the house always favours the house. Treat their tips like enemy intel, not gospel.

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

@tweet_to_crazy This is the post 90% of agencies pray their clients never read. Every metric above "profit in the bank" is a proxy someone can game to look busy. CPL, CTR, ROAS, all vanity if the P&L doesn't move. Report on money, not motion. What's your one north-star number?

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

The play nobody with a fat ad budget wants small businesses to hear: stop fighting 50 brands for "plumber near me". Go win "emergency boiler repair [town]" this week. Lower volume, higher intent, near-zero competition. Specific beats broad when you're the underdog.

[Mumbles Studio @MumblesStudio]

Most small businesses chase the biggest keyword in their industry—and run straight into the toughest competition.

The better opportunity may be a more specific, higher-value service your competitors have ignored. https://t.co/sG9rvfWoP0

@JulianGoldieSEO Love the workflow, but speed was never the bottleneck. Nobody lost rankings for typing too slow. They lost because AI already generates what they publish. Automate the boring 80%. The 20% that gets you cited, the take, the data, the proof, still has to come from you.

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

@Seositecheckup The shift most people miss: Google ranks pages, AI recommends sources. So the game moves from "rank this URL" to "be the brand the model trusts on this topic". Build entity authority, answer cleanly, get mentioned everywhere. Reputation is the new backlink. Sound right?

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

@MdSakibMia20011 92/100 and still no guarantee, exactly right. That score measures whether the machine CAN read you, not whether you're worth quoting. Crawlable isn't citable. The AI picks the source with the sharpest answer and the strongest trust signals, not the cleanest schema.

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

The number every "we rank #1" agency is quietly hoping you never see: position 1 now leaks 58% of its clicks to an AI Overview. Ranking was never the goal, being the answer is. Stop selling rankings. Start earning citations, or your traffic dies while your reports still look green.

[Adsy - Content Marketing Platform @Adsy_Com]

🤔Ranking #1 doesn't guarantee the click anymore, and most SEO reports still don't account for it.

AI Overviews are quietly reshaping organic CTR. Here's what the data actually shows:

📉 CTR on AI Overview queries dropped from 1.76% to 0.61% in just over a year
📉 That's a 58% lower average CTR for the #1 organic result when an AI Overview appears
📊 Even getting cited inside an AI Overview only gets you 1.02% CTR vs 0.74% for non-cited pages (a small edge, not a fix)
🔍 AI Overviews now appear on 64.7% of question-style ("how to," "what is") queries

The pattern is clear: informational content is bleeding clicks fastest, while transactional and comparison searches are holding up better.

If your CTR reporting isn't separating AIO-affected queries from the rest, your numbers are only telling half the story.

@BennettGeorge57 The acronyms are how consultants sell the same advice twice. SEO, GEO, AEO, SGE, strip the branding and it's one job: be the most useful, most trustworthy answer to a real question. Nail that once and you're proof against whatever letters they invent next. Agree?

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

@heyjasperai Commodity content dies because it's stuff the model can already generate itself. Why cite a page that tells it what it already knows? The fix isn't better writing, it's a number, a test result, a first-hand take the AI can't hallucinate. Proof beats polish every time.

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

@TrintHQ Transcripts are the floor, not the ceiling. A raw wall of text still won't get cited. Chapter it, add timestamped Q&A headers, put the answer up top so the model can lift a clean 2-line clip. That's the gap between indexed and actually quoted. Most skip this and wonder why.

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

@himcognitoMode 37 sessions sounds tiny til you clock that every one was pre-qualified by the model before it landed. AEO traffic converts harder than raw SEO clicks. The move: answer the question in the first 50 words so you're the line the AI quotes, not the page it skips.

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

Nailed it. This is why "we're #3, where's the traffic?" is the FAQ of 2026. Position is a retrieval lottery ticket now, not a guarantee. The fix isn't more links, it's becoming the trusted entity for the topic: consistent citations, real expertise, structured answers. Earn the gate or stay outside it.

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

@casancamdev @borjafat Two checks. 1) Server logs: grep GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot to confirm you were fetched. 2) Load the page with JS off. If the answer isn't in raw HTML, the bot never saw it. Client-rendered content is invisible to crawlers. Put the answer server-side, first 50 words.

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

@realsimonzaku_ This is what separates operators from renters. Backlinks are rented authority, stop paying and it stops. Content, internal links and topical depth are assets you own. Build the asset first, then point links at a page that already deserves to rank. Own it, don't rent it.

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

@rh_fardin @startupideaspod This is the take. 10,000 thin pages is a deindexing speedrun. Google eats programmatic pages that add nothing. Winners put proprietary data on every page, the one thing the scraper next door can't copy. No unique data, no programmatic play. Earn 50 before you dream of 10k.

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

@_jabuto New acronym every quarter, same job underneath. SEO, AEO, GEO, AIO, it's all just: answer the question better than anyone else and be the source worth citing. The people inventing new letters usually can't rank. Learn the fundamentals, ignore the alphabet soup.

[TheKillerEdge @TheKillerEdge]

Half right. Ranking #1 in hours isn't the AI writing, it's being first on a trend nobody else covered yet. Speed is the edge, not the "one click". Mass-produce the same articles everyone else can generate and you're filtered by week two. Be first with something real, or be invisible.

[Julian Goldie SEO @JulianGoldieSEO]

🚨 I ranked #1 on Google with Grok 4.5 in hours.

Here's how👇

Everyone is chasing old keywords.

We chase what is trending today.

1️⃣ Find trending topics from X before everyone else.

2️⃣ Let AI write SEO articles in one click.

3️⃣ Publish to your website and social media together.

4️⃣ Turn the same topic into a video that ranks too.

5️⃣ Feed everything into AI memory so every article gets smarter.

That's how we landed multiple page one rankings for the same keyword.

Funny thing...

Most people spend weeks doing keyword research.

My AI finishes before they open another spreadsheet. 😂

@krudhrah Correct, and most SEOs will still blow 80% of budget chasing links because it's the only lever they know how to sell. Information gain is the whole game now: say something the other 9 results didn't. One genuinely cited source beats 50 spammy links. Add value or get filtered.
