Google is fixing a long-running Search Console bug that inflated impression counts. As the fix rolls out, reported impressions will decrease. What happened. A logging error caused Google Search Console to over-report impressions starting May 13, 2025. Google today updated its Data anomalies in Search Console page: “A logging error is preventing Search Console from accurately reporting impressions from May 13, 2025 onward. This issue will be resolved over the next few weeks; as a result, you may notice a decrease in impressions in the Search Console Performance report. Clicks and other metrics were not affected by the error, and…
Customer journeys are collapsing into a single moment of evaluation. David Edelman recently described this shift as the convergence of behaviors that used to happen separately. As decisions compress, brands need to be clearer about what they are trying to solve for the customer. Many organizations are increasing activity instead, without sharpening the underlying strategy. The shift behind the compressed journey Edelman’s argument, outlined in his March 2026 Think with Google essay, is built around a shorthand developed by Boston Consulting Group and Google: streaming, scrolling, searching, and shopping. His central insight is that generative AI has snapped these four…
Over the course of my three-decade career, the keyword drove paid search. Today, it’s one of many signals. Strategy is what determines performance. Keywords were what you researched for weeks, then built your strategy around based on what you uncovered or hypothesized. You managed everything from bids to matched search terms to negatives and the audiences you targeted. Your career was built and measured by how well you structured around a keyword. Paid media has always been deeply tactical, with Google driving the majority of search. You were methodical about placements, audiences, bids, headlines, extensions, and keyword-stuffed URLs. This model…
Paid search is often the highest-leverage ecommerce growth channel, delivering strong conversion rates and efficient spend when structured effectively. Google Shopping and Amazon Ads capture high-intent demand while generating the data needed to scale it. These platforms connect search queries directly to revenue, enabling you to identify which terms drive sales and allocate budget accordingly. The real challenge is organizing campaigns to act on that signal. Why paid search works so well for ecommerce Paid search performs differently from other channels because it combines two advantages: intent and data. Intent: Google and Amazon are search-driven environments. When someone searches for…
It used to be that Google searches opened up a world of questions. You searched, sifted through links, and came to your own conclusion. Today, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI platforms compress multiple sources into a single, synthesized response. In the process, nuance is flattened, and certain viewpoints can be overrepresented. This marks a fundamental shift in online reputation management. Search engines now shape the information they surface. The result is a rise in zero-click behavior, where users accept AI-generated answers without visiting underlying sources. For brands, that changes the stakes. Visibility no longer guarantees influence. Even a…

A new analysis of more than 40,000 daily ChatGPT ad placements by AI ad intelligence firm Adthena suggests the format is rapidly standardizing, revealing that what once felt experimental is now becoming a disciplined, high-intent messaging system built for users already deep in decision-making mode. The big picture: ChatGPT ads are converging on a style that is short, structured, and highly contextual, favoring precision over persuasion and utility over storytelling, which marks a shift away from traditional creative-led advertising toward something closer to real-time, intent-driven assistance. By the numbers: The average headline clocks in at just 30 characters and around 5…
There’s a flood coming. A downpour of noise — more content, more channels, more AI-generated everything, moving faster than most teams can keep up with. Somewhere in that volume, your customers are quietly drowning — overwhelmed, underserved, and one bad experience away from choosing someone else. You’ve probably felt it on your team, too. Another tool. Another sprint. Another quarter of doing more with less. The productivity metrics look fine from the outside. But inside, people are running on empty. There’s an old story about a man named Noah who, facing catastrophic disruption, didn’t freeze or panic. He didn’t look…
You’ve done everything right. You have a fast website with comprehensive content, pages ranking in the top 10, and a strong backlink profile. Yet when you search the query you rank for, your site doesn’t appear in Google’s corresponding AI Overview. This is a retrieval problem, not a ranking issue. And the difference between the two is the most important shift SEOs need to understand right now. AI Overviews don’t work like traditional organic rankings. Instead of considering which page has the most signals, AI Overviews look for the page that gives the cleanest, most usable answer. If your content…
