How AI SEO is bullsh*tting You?

Myth 1: API monitoring shows AI ranking

ChatGPT

API call ≠ scraped UI
Scrape shows two times more brands compared to API.
Web search is triggered in API 77%, in real UI 100%
Sources provided from API 75%, in real UI 100%
Real UI answer is ~700 words, API ~400 words

Perplexity

Upside down. Shows more brands in API Real UI and API sources overlap only 8%

Summary

API scraping is easier and cheaper so most of AI visibility tracking tools use this method.
You must use real AI scraping to get more accurate data

Myth 2: Monitor thousands of prompts

Longer prompts / detailed prompts / topic drift
78% return the same brands, sources and answers
You should monitor only those prompts that have different search intent

Myth 3: We need to cover all fanouts

Most fanouts appear once. Track only those that show every day.

Myth 4: Global citation ranking (Reddit, Quora, Instagram and etc)

Every niche has its own core sources.
Don't chase Reddit, find relevant to you by running many queries.

Myth 4: Don't promote Yourself in listicles

Self-promotion listicles still works very good in Google AI overview, AI mode, Perplexity, but less good in ChatGPT. In any case self promotion still works in all of LLMs.
Do it. Do it frequently. In Your own website. In blog post. If You don't someone else will do it.

What works?

1. Semantics - cover facts and you will get a chance to become core source
2. Easy retrieval format
3. Models value different factors
4. Position in listicle
5. Blogs
6. Sentiment
7. Ranking in traditional search engines
8. Source rank in Google The End

Don't chase shiny objects, gather data and don't be fooled

One of the standout sessions at Baltic SEO Summit was presentation. Here are a few key takeaways 👇

1. Viral signals & Google rankings

CTR manipulation is still very much in play. Driving 5,000–10,000 social clicks to a single URL can temporarily push it to page 1 - not just for your own site, but also Reddit threads, YouTube videos, and parasite SEO pages.

2. Fast-tracking results with Reddit

A simple but effective playbook:
⚫ Find Reddit threads already ranking on Google
⚫ Add a neutral recommendation using an aged account
⚫ Gradually push the comment to the top with upvotes
⚫ Stay under the radar to avoid bans

3. Black Hat iGaming tactics

Some aggressive strategies mentioned:
🔵 Leveraging aged domains like .us.com or .gr.com
🔵 Cross-domain canonicalization
🔵 Redirecting multiple aged domains into one

Not all of this is “by the book” - but it’s a good reminder of what’s happening in competitive SERPs.

Baltic-Nordic SEO Summit takeaways from Koray Tugberk GUBUR

🔵 Visual semantics is becoming a core part of SEO
🔵 It’s not just about content anymore - it’s about how text and images come together at the pixel level
🔵 How design and layout influence rankings
🔵 Whether Google uses design to evaluate if you’re a real business
🔵 Whether the order of words matters
🔵 Whether the order of visual elements matters

Adding more text, links, and visuals is not always a good thing.
Document layout directly impacts how content is vectorized.

From patents: before chunking, transformers divide content into structured blocks. Bytes become vectors. Vectors become answers.

When users search for flights, hotels, or cars, Google looks for design patterns - what websites in that category are supposed to look like.

Koray’s process:
Topical map -> Content network and documents -> Mockup design -> Figma design

Some interesting patterns:
📌 In the US, adult sites rank more at night, while rehab sites dominate during the day
📌 If you’re in the wrong category, you won’t rank - more content and links won’t fix it
📌 Secondary domains can be used for narrower topics, leveraging brand relevance to boost sections

🟢 Clicks matter. When your site starts getting clicks, Google runs more algorithms.
🟢 Rank in some queries - and you can rank faster in others.
🟢 An exact-match subdomain with the same content helped recover from the Helpful Content Update.

Visual semantics principles:
1. Visualization
2. Verbalization
3. Content contextualization
4. Commercialization
Commercialization is critical.
If it’s a commercial page, it needs pricing - otherwise it may be downgraded.

The order of words changes relevance.
Sentences should be structured based on the query you’re targeting.

LLMs are not reliable rankers - they can be manipulated and don’t evaluate source credibility.
Google does. If the source isn’t trusted, the answer doesn’t matter.

Visual classification helps Google save resources.
It’s easier to classify a site by layout than to process every token.

Technical insights (GSC data):
📍Response time < 100ms
📍Discovery rate > 20%
📍HTML crawl rate ~99%

HTML normalization = turning images and text into structured data nodes.
Key info like pricing must be above the fold.
Use an exact-match site name (not the same as domain name).
