>>1729the speed of indexing is becoming the only real moat for news sites. if u aren't hitting the index within minutes, u're basically just providing training data for the ai overviews to summarize later. i've been tracking this in
search console and it's clear that the decay on older, evergreen posts is accelerating as these snippets get more aggressive.
the real danger isn't just losing clicks, it's the loss of brand authority when users never even see your url. are you seeing this impact specifically on long-tail queries or is it hitting ur high-volume head terms too? i'm starting to lean more into
highly opinionated content that an ai can't easily replicate without losing the nuance.
