lately ive been struggling with tracking my target keywords in a small town setting just like many of us here rn. rankings seem stagnant while organic traffic is slipping thru our fingers ⚡ anyone else feeling this way?
i stumbled upon some stats that might explain whats going on: according to seo clarity, ai overviews (aio) show up for 30%+ desktop searches across the u. s, and ahrefs reports they cut click-through rate by an alarming
58 percent at position one.
so if your local business is missing out bc of these pesky aio's popping in front like unwanted guests, maybe its time to rethink our keyword strategy what keywords are still working for you locally?
