Google AI Search Changes: 7 Powerful Ways Publishing Is Being Upended
Google AI search changes are transforming the relationship between search engines, publishers and online readers.

Accel-Backed Keenable Is Indexing the Web for AI Agents With a $26M Seed Round
On 25 August 2026 Keenable exited stealth with a $26 million seed round led by Accel, plus participation from Conviction Partners and business angels, and a web index of more than 100 billion documents built for AI agents rather than people. Fifteen engineers, a search API, an MCP server and an unreleased Web Query Language sit behind it. Here are the disclosed numbers, the published pricing, how it differs from consumer search, who else is competing for the same ground, and the questions Keenable has not answered.
Citable Content for AI Search: Best Proven B2B Guide
AI search engines do not cite pages, they cite passages — and most B2B websites contain almost none worth quoting. This guide covers the mechanics rather than the mood: what retrieval systems actually select, the five-part anatomy of a passage a model will quote, the formatting rules that keep a claim and its evidence inside one chunk, the four kinds of evidence that earn a named citation in B2B, the entity and crawler-access work that decides whether you are eligible at all, which page types produce citations and which never will, a full worked rewrite of a real service page, a 100-point scoring audit you can run this week, how to measure presence rather than sessions, the mistakes that quietly destroy citability, realistic effort and costs, and a sequenced 90-day plan.
AEO vs GEO vs Traditional SEO: Proven Guide to Avoid Waste
Two new acronyms have arrived beside a discipline that took twenty years to mature, and most businesses are now being quoted for three services when they need one programme with three emphases. This guide defines answer engine optimisation, generative engine optimisation and traditional search optimisation without hedging, quantifies the roughly sixty per cent of the work that is shared, and gives you a five-question test that settles the split for your own company. It covers what each service delivers in practice, realistic UK price ranges and why a combined retainer beats three quotes, the order to fund the work in across a first year, the metrics that keep each surface honest, the mistakes that reliably waste a quarter, and a 90-day plan to get the mix right.
GEO Reporting: Proven Framework to Avoid Vanity Metrics
Most teams collect generative search observations and never turn them into a report anyone can defend. This guide sets out the reporting framework itself — precise definitions and formulas for presence rate, citation rate, share of voice and a weighted visibility index; the eleven-column data model every number is summed from; how big a sample a claim needs before it belongs on a slide; and the five-page monthly pack, from headline metrics through to the diagnosis page that drives the work. A worked example of 600 observed answers runs through every chart, alongside target setting, pipeline correlation without fake attribution, build-versus-buy tooling, the mistakes that destroy trust in the numbers, and a 90-day plan to stand the whole rhythm up.
Brand Visibility in ChatGPT: Proven Guide to Stop Guessing
A growing share of commercial questions is now answered as prose that names two or three brands and nobody else, and most companies have no idea whether they are one of them. This guide replaces the guesswork with a repeatable method: a frozen 40-prompt set across four categories, a 0-to-3 scoring rubric, and five metrics — presence rate, share of voice, citation rate, answer position and framing. It covers how ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity differ, what your server logs can and cannot tell you, the levers that actually move the numbers, and a 90-day plan to get from a baseline to a trend.
ChatGPT Rolls Out Search Across Chats, Projects, Images, and Documents
ChatGPT rolls out search across chats with a major productivity upgrade that allows users to quickly find information stored across conversations, projects, images, and documents.
