In today's fast-paced digital landscape, effective visuals have become more essential than ever before. From social media posts to website graphics, from advertising campaigns to blog content – visual quality has become indispensable for building strong connections with your target audience.

A New Era in Health Searches from Google: AI Overviews and Community Recommendations

Google announced at its recent "The Check Up" event that AI-powered summaries for health-related searches will now be used for many more queries and in more languages. This development could have significant implications for both publishers producing health content and SEO strategies in general.

Highlights

  • AI Overviews will now be shown for thousands of new health queries.

  • These summaries will reach more users on mobile devices by covering new languages including Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese.

  • With the new "What People Suggest" feature, users will be able to see recommendations based on the experiences of people with similar health conditions.

  • Google is supporting these developments with advances in the Gemini model in the health field.

What Content Works Well in LLMs?

Kevin Indig's analysis, which examined over 7,000 citations and 1,600 URLs, reveals the main factors affecting content visibility in AI-powered search models (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews). The surprising part? Classic SEO metrics have almost no effect on LLMs (Large Language Models)!

Highlights

  • Classic SEO metrics ineffective: Traditional signals like DA, traffic, and backlink count are insignificant for LLMs.

  • Content depth and readability stand out: Word count, sentence count, and Flesch Score are common characteristics of the most cited content.

  • ChatGPT is the model that makes the most referrals: The LLM that places the most importance on popularity (brand search volume).

  • Copilot is the most aggressive model in content inequality: The top 10% of content is cited 17.6 times more than the bottom 90%.

What You Can Do

  1. Don't lengthen content, deepen it: Prepare explanatory texts that cover user questions rather than 10,000 words of empty content.

  2. Optimize Flesch score: Simplify sentences. Write accessibly, not academically.

  3. Increase brand awareness: Raise your brand name with search volume. This directly affects your chance of being cited.

  4. Produce content according to prompts: Structure your content to appear in searches containing words like "best," "reliable," "recommend."

  5. Check robots.txt: Make sure you haven't accidentally blocked Perplexity or ChatGPT. Traffic loss may occur.

  6. Monitor LLMs: Analyze not just ChatGPT but also Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AIOs.

For years, SEO experts have focused on content quality, technical SEO, and backlink profiles. However, this paradigm has been broken with LLMs. Now, it's not about "being ranked 1st" but "being cited by AI models" that's becoming critical. This is because users are getting answers beyond search engines, through these models. And these models operate by different rules.

It's necessary to increase brand awareness, improve content readability, and move away from unnecessary backlink rush. New generation models like ChatGPT 4o actively show content sources. This opens a new page in SEO's referral traffic. The winner in this game will be those who can provide content to AI.

Google's John Mueller says AI-generated fake URLs will increase. How should SEO experts take precautions against these new errors?

AI content tools are creating fake URLs while trying to reference real pages, leading to 404 errors on sites. John Mueller from Google indicates that these kinds of "hallucinative" links will increase and become a new point of attention in SEO strategies.

Mueller recommends well-designed 404 pages and explanations that inform the user to deal with these errors. Instead of redirecting to every fake link, data-driven decisions should be made. SEO experts should focus on permanent user value and quality content production rather than accidental clicks. This situation is changing the direction of SEO in the AI age.

This Week in the AI World: Tools, Services, and Tips

  • Google announced it has added two important new features to its smart assistant Gemini: Canvas and Audio Overview.
