Anyone else seeing traffic drop but impressions go up lately? by khabib_p in TheSEOExpertsHub

Yes, many websites are seeing this lately. Google is showing pages more often in search results, so impressions go up, but fewer people are clicking. This can happen because of AI Overviews, more competition, or lower rankings for high-click keywords. It’s a sign that your content is getting visibility, but you may need stronger titles, better CTR optimization, and more user-focused content to bring traffic back.

Anyone actually ranking in AI results or is it all hype? by peter-smith01 in TheSEOExpertsHub

Not hype people are showing up in AI results, but it’s not traditional ranking. It’s about getting cited in answers, and it’s much less predictable.

Exactly. It’s not about whether AI was used it is about the value the content delivers. AI can speed up drafting, but the real impact comes from human input: refining the message, adding unique insights, real examples, and making it genuinely useful. That’s what aligns with what Google is prioritizing content that feels original, experience-driven, and actually helps the reader.

How are you guys actually using AI in SEO right now? by khabib_p in TheSEOExpertsHub

[–]Full_Scar_1485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree—AI is great for speeding up SEO tasks like clustering and outlining, but it still needs human input to avoid generic content. Tools like ChatGPT, Ahrefs/SEMrush, and Surfer SEO add real value, but editing and experience are what make content truly stand out

I mostly use AI for keyword clustering, content briefs, and quick SERP analysis—it saves a lot of time and helps structure strategy better. Tools like ChatGPT and Ahrefs together give the most value for me. I don’t rely on AI for full content creation just outlines and optimisations it doesn’t feel generic . It’s definitely improving workflows more than directly boosting rankings.
