AI Is Rewriting the Old Rules of Google Search and SEO - WSJ

AI is rewriting Google Search and SEO. Short take: expect fewer raw clicks and more value in provable, human‑signed content. Read WSJ: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMic0FVX3lxTFA2QmxJNDNLOEcxZVItUXdMZHUzQlEzOTJPbE9kVDJ2bmtGSWxOTU5lOVdXU05OMUNtVENzclVTMGkyNEJNcDdMRWU0bTli

Why it matters: LLM answers and “AI summaries” reduce organic CTR from top results. Traffic is a noisier KPI. Action: track Search Console -> Performance -> Search Appearance (answer boxes/rich results) and map those queries to real conversions (leads, calls, signed contracts).

What to build this week: 1) One canonical, claimable page per high‑value answer. 2) Add JSON‑LD with author, timestamp, claim_id. 3) Publish /ai-metadata.json or a tiny API that returns approved answer + revision history. 4) Visible “verified by” human stamp in the content.

Takeaway: if you serve lawyers, advisors, or agencies, your moat isn’t traffic — it’s provable authority and human signoff. BYOK + human‑in‑the‑loop becomes a selling point. Who on your team will own the verification API and conversions, not sessions? #SEO #AI #ContentOps
