Microsoft has been promising to give data on the performance of websites mentioned in AI results within Bing and Copilot since February 2023 and then again in April 2023. But then decided to let us down and only lump the data together with web queries, not giving us a clear view of how our sites perform within Bing’s AI experiences. Now Bing is reportedly testing showing a new report within Bing Webmaster Tools named AI Performance report. AI Performance report. This report is currently in a super limited beta – Microsoft has not announced anything about this publicly. But a…
Google will now jump you directly into AI Mode when you do a follow-up question from AI Overviews within Google Search. This makes the “transition to a conversation even more seamless,” Robby Stein, VP of Product, Google Search wrote. Plus, Google AI Overviews are powered by Gemini 3 by default, globally. AI Overviews jumping to AI Mode. We covered when Google was officially testing this back in December and also before Google confirmed the test in October 2025. The ask a follow-up question within the Google Search AI Overviews will jump you into a conversation directly in AI Mode. Google…
AI Max is Google’s latest foray into semi-keywordless targeting. While you need keywords for the system to have a starting place, Google uses signals beyond keywords in deciding how to show ads to searchers. In accounts with a strong history of broad match success, AI Max can be highly effective at finding new conversions. If accounts are not well-optimized or have not been successful with broad match, AI Max can be a huge money pit. To clear up a rumor before we get into the data: you do not have to use AI Max to have ads appear in AI…
Have you ever tried to find inspiration for ads by scrolling your own Facebook feed? Then you know that most companies’ ads aren’t very compelling. Also, scrolling Facebook in this day and age is weirdly exhausting. Here’s the truth: most high-performing ads in 2026 aren’t winning the day because they’re wildly original or uniquely “viral” (do we still call something that?). They’re winning because they follow the same repeatable templates that smart marketers have been using for decades. (Yes, even now. Even with AI. Even with “creative strategy” and words like “scrollable” being used non-ironically in business initiatives.) This article…
If you’ve spent any time in PPC communities, Reddit threads, Slack groups, or conference Q&As, you’ve probably noticed a recurring frustration: “Google Ads isn’t scaling. It’s not working, and we’re stuck.” On the surface, everything looks fine. The campaigns are running, impression share is high, shopping feeds are clean, and budgets are flowing. But growth isn’t materializing. This isn’t usually about “broken campaigns” – it’s about the limits of demand. In niche markets or categories shaped by seasonality, growth is naturally capped. Yes, running broad match or AI Max can expand your reach to adjacent queries, so impression share might…
The European Commission has formally opened new proceedings to spell out how Google must share key Android features and Google Search data with rivals under the Digital Markets Act. The Commission on Tuesday opened two formal “specification proceedings” to guide how Google must comply with key DMA obligations, effectively turning regulatory dialogue into a structured process with defined outcomes. Why we care. The European Commission is escalating its oversight of Google under the Digital Markets Act, with moves that could reshape competition in mobile AI and search — and limit how much advantage Google can extract from its own platforms.…
OpenAI is pitching premium-priced ads in ChatGPT — with far less data than advertisers are used to getting. What’s happening. According to a report, OpenAI is pricing ChatGPT ads at roughly $60 per 1,000 impressions — about three times higher than typical Meta ads. Despite the cost, advertisers will receive only high-level reporting, such as total impressions or clicks, with no insight into downstream actions like purchases. Why we care. ChatGPT is emerging as a brand-new, high-attention ad environment — but one that comes with trade-offs. The high CPMs and limited reporting mean early tests will be more about brand…
Embracing Intimacy: Rekindling Romance After 60 After decades of nurturing relationships, the journey of love and intimacy evolves, especially in the golden years. Many believe that romantic connections wane as we age, but the reality is that intimacy can flourish in this season of life. The key is to adapt and embrace new ways of fostering connection, whether through shared activities, open communication, or simple affection. Communicate Openly: The Foundation of Connection Open communication serves as the bedrock of any relationship. As we age, the importance of discussing our feelings, desires, and challenges becomes even more paramount. Addressing concerns about…
Google is working toward a future where it understands what you want before you ever type a search. Now Google is pushing that thinking onto the device itself, using small AI models that perform nearly as well as much larger ones. What’s happening. In a research paper presented at EMNLP 2025, Google researchers show that a simple shift makes this possible: break “intent understanding” into smaller steps. When they do, small multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) become powerful enough to match systems like Gemini 1.5 Pro — while running faster, costing less, and keeping data on the device. The future is intent extraction.…
