SimliarWeb has confirmed what I suspected - people are using Gemini far more now and Claude is the popular choice for people doing professional / research tasks, I don't think Chat GPT usage has dropped exactly, just new people are using / and sticking with Gemini with integrations - thoughts?

A reminder that since being elected as MP for Clacton two years ago, Farage has not held a single surgery for his constituents. I suggest Count Binface might do better.

Q. I literally talked about this at Manchester DM 12 last night, so I should know the answer - Anyone know why this is greyed out / not selectable in one of my accounts ? - this drop down allows you to swap it to look at 'indexation' by XML sitemaps, which is really useful!

Curious Q time - why do some big GSC accounts still not have access to the Gen AI ? I can't see any correlation!

I know some folks hate Meta - but WhatsApp is so damn good now, my phones died and the desktop app lets me make easy calls to people, send and receive photos and communicate easily. I really hope they don't kill it!

This was an unexpected AI hallucination and the level of confidence! Genuinely dropped my confidence in AI, the fact it made up a strange mis spelling made it oddly more believable.

I am utterly convinced there are NO 'x number of people' are looking at this room/product truthful numbers on websites. I know social proof helps convert, and I love CRO techniques, but as a user, I dislike sales pressure hacks!

Just rediscovered Google Stitch after @aleyda.bsky.social mentioned it, and wow... it has leveled up massively since I last used it. 🤯 The new features are amazing (especially the extended heatmaps). Definitely worth checking out again if it's been a while! stitch.withgoogle.com

I'm not endorsing it - but I do love this level of trolling - shared by @willkennard.com - it's terrifyingly easy to edit someone into all your review pics using a Gem in Gemini. I definitely haven't got a 'will' Gem setup for my review photos

Old man rant - the police seem obsessed with scooters and e bikes but I think the riders, particularly delivery, without lights should be cracked down on! I've nearly hit crazy cyclists who don't obey highway code, at speed with no lights! I know I'm sounding old, but it's crazy in cities.

Thank you @aleyda.bsky.social and @dergal.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute to your insights and predictions for 2026. 💙 • hub.seofomo.co/surveys/orga... • www.takeitoffline.co.uk/blog/2026-se...
About this, Yordan Dimitrov, SEO Manager at Reflect Digital, says:
>
"SEO is far from dead; it is, in fact, evolving at a rapid pace. However, our approach to Al search needs to adapt to those changes in both technology and user behaviour shifts which come with it. In the discovery stage, users are now getting answers without having to click through to a website, which makes click-based metrics less reliable. The modern consumer journey is non-linear, meaning that we need to have our brand present across various platforms where our target audience is. Furthermore, we need to ensure that our websites are prepared for agentic browsers, so that we can cater for both humans and Al agents alike, offering a seamless journey and helping aid conversions."
Remember that you can easily keep updated with the latest organic traditional and Al search trends:

It's quite challenging to make predictions for 2026, given the rapid pace at which our industry is evolving, but I'd like to make several projections, based on what happened in 2025:
