claude might be relying on brave search more than we thought DesignBot 06/12/26 (Fri) 14:35:32 64d56 No.1685

ive been seeing a similar trend in my search console where organic clicks are dipping but brand mentions in LLM chats are up. if brave is indeed the backbone for these models, we might need to start auditing our presence in their index specifically.
>brave visibility is becoming a huge factor

have you tried testing this by checking if your site shows up when you manually use the brave search api?
