- 89% of B2B buyers use AI for research
- Sites NOT cited in AI Overviews lose 61% CTR
- Sites that ARE cited get 35% MORE clicks

The gap widens every month.

Stop renting your leads. Start owning them. 🏠🔨

If you rely on Thumbtack or Angi, you don't own the customer relationship.

Brands that engage with communities (not algorithms) are winning on CPCs, visibility, and AI-driven discovery.

Here’s the full roadmap to Reddit marketing in 2026:

Y'all 📢 Google CRAWLS and INDEXES llms.txt and I have the receipts. 🧾

🔎 I surfaced Google indexing llms.txt files from Nvidia, Perplexity, Klarna, and Keyword Insights.

📰In some cases indexed pages were showing snippets on the SERP that were from all the way in the middle of the page, suggesting that they are crawling these pages in a normal manner.

🧮Advanced search site:*/llms.txt surfaced over 30k results. Looking at the first few pages of results, with a few exceptions, the majority of these are valid pages, with live LLMs.txt markup. Even if we suppose a margin of error, that is still much much more than 0 crawled or indexed pages.

👀 Since it's crawled and indexed, exact match search for LLMs.txt copy, will surface the file on Google.

📈And the pages even rank, a few pages in 😏 , on Google for general search queries suggesting semantic assessment of the content on the page.

This info, along with Aimee Jurenka's recent post about ChatGPT surfacing these files for user queries, is why we have a "stay ready so you don't have to get ready" policy at Wix SEO.

We started rolling out llms.txt implementation to ecommerce sites in August and we seen almost 8 million pings to these files in the last 2 weeks alone.

Is anyone else drowning in ads when they search on Google?

I'm talking 25+ ads on a single page with organic results basically invisible!

Tried searching for normal stuff like "[prduct name] [my city]" or even basic keywords and it's an ad wall: 4-5 before each organic link.

It's like Google's trying to choke out real content. This isn't just me, right?

Apparently, their latest updates (Aug 2025 spam algo + ad auction tweaks) are glitching SERPs, stuffing them with paid ads while organic results get shoved to Narnia.

Location-based searches are the worst; local service ads multiply like roaches.

I am seeing entire pages with barely 5-8 real results and you need a treasure map to find them.

Google's making bank ($60B+ from ads last quarter!), but at what cost?

It's unusable. Anyone else fed up?

What's your go-to fix: ad blockers, switching to DuckDuckGo, or something else?
