not overthinking this, just sharing because this threw me a bit

  1. we showed up on Google but not in AI answers we’re page 1 for a few of our main terms, so I assumed we’d at least get mentioned. typed the same thing into ChatGPT and got 3 competitors listed straight away. we weren’t there at all
  2. it’s hard to even know if this is happening consistently tried a few variations of the same query and kept seeing similar results, but it still feels random. there’s no “impressions” or anything to tell you how often this is happening
  3. it’s not obvious what actually influences this with SEO you kind of know what you’re aiming for. here it just feels like guessing. tried making one page more direct and it didn’t really change anything
  4. it’s a bit uncomfortable not knowing where you stand we’ve always had a decent handle on our visibility. this feels like a blind spot we didn’t even realize we had until now

has anyone else checked this and had a similar moment?
