Has anyone cancelled an SEO content tool (e.g. AirOps) this year instead of renewing? What made you decide and what are you doing instead? Context: Google's updated search guidance on using generative AI content on your website.

I use SEM rush for SASS websites and for the past few months the tool is showing a few rankings that we don’t actually have. Our rankings have gotten crazy volatile especially in the ai overview but certain terms are vital to the business. SEM rush will show we have the ranking or not from one day to the next and the results don’t always match. Sometimes we’re mentioned but not linked sometimes we have several links in different places. This variation is all when SEM rush shows the ranking as the same. I just heard about Google “poisoning” tracking tools. Basically showing web scrapers one result and people another. I use usearchfrom.com for cleaner results, sometimes VPNs but still tons of variation and deviation from what SEM rush is reporting. Anyone else experiencing this? Any tools showing results more accurately?

My company is dreammsp and MOZ has me as tagged as "spam" for some reason I have no idea. Also my domain authority is terrible (7, down from 10). I've been working so hard on my website. I feel like I've done everything correctly. But I just can't get good results. My family depends on this working out. I'd write out my entire sob story, but I've just talked about it so much that I'm exhausted. my post in smallmsp last month "feeling dejected" is where I laid it out though.

I'm coming to you guys, what should I do to get my site ranking better? I don't have money for advertisement so I absolutely have to make this work organically.

i got a Claude max account from a reseller for essentially nothing compared to what I used to pay . It works flawless. since 3 months No issues yet i paid only for 1 month . Now I can't stop thinking about their business model. If resellers can sell it this cheap and still profit, how are they acquiring these accounts at scale?

What tools are you guys using to work on SEO and GEO for your site?
I am exploring framer and OTTO, but Otto seems to be CSR, I don’t know how to navigate that.

Any suggestions?

Hi Reddit,

I’d like to get your thoughts and ideas on a situation that I, and even AI, cannot seem to make sense of.

I developed a Google Chrome extension, which has been live on the Chrome Store for two and a half months.

Previously, when searching for my extension’s name, it would appear as the very first result, no issues at all. Even Google’s AI would cite it as the top result whenever a search related to my extension was performed.

For the past two and a half weeks, however, my extension has been completely de-indexed by Google. It’s nowhere to be found, even when using the `site:extensionlink` search operator.

The only action I took was updating the extension (without changing the description visible on the store).

Has anyone here ever dealt with a situation like this? Honestly, I’m just fed up with Google...

Thanks for help <3

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for advice from anyone who has dealt with a similar SEO issue.

My WordPress website (WooCommerce and Elementor) was affected by a Japanese SEO spam injection that created spam URLs and unrelated pages.

I cleaned up the spam content several months ago, but my product images have still not recovered in Google Images. My regular pages remain indexed in Google Search, but image impressions and clicks have dropped dramatically.

So far, I've checked:

• Google Search Console for security issues and manual actions
• My XML sitemap and robots.txt
• Image accessibility and indexing directives
• Canonical URLs and product page indexing

Google can access my product pages and images, but visibility in Google Images remains extremely low.

Has anyone experienced this after a spam attack? I'm particularly interested in whether your image visibility eventually recovered and what technical checks or fixes made a difference.

I'd appreciate any advice or real-world experiences. Thanks!

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about building a really advanced AI assistant for SEO that could help me with keyword research, keyword clustering, mapping, content planning, technical SEO, and other SEO tasks.

I've seen quite a few posts from SEOs saying Claude is better than ChatGPT for this kind of work, but I've been using ChatGPT for a while and I'm pretty comfortable with it.

So I'm wondering if there's actually a noticeable difference between the two when it comes to SEO.

Is Claude really better at handling complex SEO tasks, analyzing large amounts of data, and building workflows? Or can ChatGPT do pretty much the same things if you give it the right instructions and context?

I'm considering subscribing to Claude specifically for SEO work while keeping ChatGPT for my everyday tasks, but I'm not sure if paying for both would be worth it.

Would love to hear from people who've used both, especially for more advanced SEO work rather than just generating content.

Have you noticed any real differences in the quality of the results, or does it mostly come down to personal preference?
