You could list all the reasons why I should care about the number of AI Overviews Google is displaying, but I still won't care as much as I do about the consistency of URL placements within them—and whether people are engaging or simply scrolling past.

How often Google is showing AI Overviews has been a hot topic of conversation, with a plethora of studies from various tool providers showcasing that data.

But the conversation shouldn't stop there. What we really need to know is: what is the traffic potential of an AI Overview? And yes, the data on the overlap between organically ranking URLs and the URLs inside the AI Overviews is a good starting point—but it leaves many questions unanswered about AI Overviews as well.

Are people engaging with them or bypassing them? Even if they engage with them, do they then return to the traditional results anyway? If they aren't bypassing them, are they clicking on links within the overview? If so, how consistently is Google showing the same URL inside AI Overviews?

The tool providers are doing the best they can, but pulling this kind of data is really hard. The fact alone that we don't have it, shouldn't prevent us from asking the hard questions either.

Newsflash

Well, that was a doozy. The August 2024 Core Update finished rolling out on September 3—but that hasn’t stopped Google from unleashing a continuous wave of rank volatility. There hasn’t been a day since well before the August update (as of writing), where we’ve seen normal levels of rank volatility. In fact, as I mentioned in my analysis of the core update, the volatility has caused sites affected by the update to experience various rank reversals.

While this isn't yet the longest period of high volatility we've seen (and yes, I did check), it might be by the time you're reading this—should things remain unchanged.

It’s wild. Buckle up.

Tell me one thing I can do with AI that breaks through all the noise and clutter?

Are you marketing better with AI? Or just doing more or the same?
I’ve discovered too many marketers are trying to use AI to execute an old playbook.

What used to work was to create more – more blogs, more videos, more posts, etc. Since that’s now easy to do with AI, what’s truly breaking through the clutter is content that’s strategic and immediately insightful.

If you think about it, customers clients are asking for 3 things:
1. Provide me with context
2. Give me insights
3. Help me make better decisions

How can you do that using AI to work smarter? Here’s one way for you:
Step 1: Copy 25 conversations from LinkedIn from executives in a specific industry. Just screenshots. Put those into AI.

Step 2: Ask AI to summarize the sentiment and provide you with insights about challenges and opportunities from what was being talked about in the industry.

Step 3: Share those insights in an actionable and easy to digest way

Approach your content using a synthesis of real-time conversations and watch your relevance and value increase, and hopefully, your leads as well.
