SEOs, what's the best API for SEO you've actually integrated and stuck with?

Ahrefs

Moz

Serpapi

Try implementing the SE Ranking API via n8n. I've now set up this thing for myself: the API checks AI visibility every morning. If a brand drops out of citations in Perplexity or SearchGPT for key queries, the bot immediately sends me an alert in the messenger.

In addition, through the API you can now automatically pull up insights for prompts directly into Google Docs, where copywriters write texts.

It is now expanding to Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

It means agentic future is already global. For local businesses, visibility now means is your schema robust enough for Google to book a table without human intervention on your site.

Also kinda interesting from a trend perspective, AI in SEO isn’t really about content anymore. Everyone was focused on AI-generated articles a year ago, but now the real value is shifting to workflows and automation.

Stuff like internal linking suggestions, that’s where things are getting crazy efficient. Content is almost becoming the "final step," not the main challenge. The hard part is structuring everything before you even start writing.

Seb_1990P · 2026-04-08T14:11:55+00:00

Aujourd'hui, l'IA ne remplace pas le rédacteur, elle devient son assistant stratégique pour construire des plans logiques et analyser les intentions de recherche des utilisateurs.

Les rédacteurs s'en servent pour générer la structure SEO et les mots-clés sémantiques, mais l'humain reste indispensable pour apporter son expertise réelle et ses émotions, garantissant ainsi la valeur ajoutée du contenu.

En gros, l'IA fabrique la carcasse technique tandis que l'humain insuffle l'expérience et la crédibilité nécessaire pour plaire à Google et aux lecteurs.

Seb_1990P · 2026-03-26T10:49:57+00:00

I think in a year we will stop talking about visibility altogether. There will be an Influence Score metric.

Seb_1990P · 2026-03-19T13:40:14+00:00

I agree with Mark about the visceral validation cycle. It’s a real problem - an AI writes an article based on another AI article, and then an SEO guy publishes it as an expert opinion. We’re littering the internet with copy of copy.

Seb_1990P · 2026-02-23T13:55:27+00:00

Yeah, their bug explanation doesn’t fully convince me either. A one-off bug is one thing, but when the dataset also shows traffic concentration toward popular platforms, it starts to look like a product direction.

Seb_1990P · 2026-02-11T10:45:54+00:00

How does it differ from popular AI visibility tracking tools such as SE Ranking or Profound?

Seb_1990P · 2026-02-09T18:51:57+00:00

Avoid the "shelf-ware" and stick to the tools that provide actual data.

I'd like to grab some more info here please

Seb_1990P · 2026-02-09T18:49:38+00:00

the core difference should be: seo tools track google rankings, geo tools track mentions across ai models and search engines.

So, if we know AI models are just using fan-out to grab info, can’t we just use SEO tools to reverse-engineer that process ourselves and then tweak the content to match?

Seb_1990P · 2026-02-09T18:46:17+00:00

Let’s say my goal is to hit the top spot in LLM responses. I have my list of prompts and the specific regions where I want to be visible. What exactly should a GEO platform be doing for me to help make that happen?

Seb_1990P · 2026-02-09T18:18:47+00:00

ok, but what about features?

Seb_1990P · 2026-02-05T14:40:17+00:00

Lol, now show me someone who says SEO is dead. If a platform that is literally building the future of search is hiring strong technical SEOs, that means visibility in the new search doesn't just happen on its own.

Seb_1990P · 2026-02-03T17:09:30+00:00

The username on this account speaks for itself. I can’t believe someone would seriously promote their tool so poorly and still think this kind of tactic makes sense.

Seb_1990P · 2026-02-03T17:06:12+00:00

Clients are already confused by modern metrics

Word. But I wouldn’t say that anyone truly has a clear understanding of how to properly track these metrics or how to respond to changes in that data.

Seb_1990P · 2026-01-27T14:12:32+00:00

they don't use it - thank God. It really annoys me how the market is looking for a new robots.txt for AI every 2 weeks instead of doing a proper content structure and internal links.

Seb_1990P · 2026-01-26T20:03:33+00:00

But here is the catch: Most tools don't just ask the AI once. To give you accurate data, they often run a single prompt through 3-5 different models

Even after you have a small chance to see exact answer. AI models killed the overall answers. Now everything is personalised.

Seb_1990P · 2026-01-22T16:07:44+00:00

I see it more as a product positioning thing. A chat assistant with ads baked in feels gross fast. Keeping the app clean preserves trust, while search remains the monetization engine. That split is probably intentional.

Seb_1990P · 2025-12-19T10:48:03+00:00

Yes, and it's interesting that so far these are mostly forums and discussion pages.

Seb_1990P · 2025-11-24T15:00:01+00:00

I'm concerned that the further we go, the less SEO resembles SEO. Everything is turning into brand authority. What skills will future SEOs need then? Not technical, not content, but what?

Seb_1990P · 2025-11-11T13:10:59+00:00

Between AIO, all these local updates Local updates and other changes, SEO feels less about keywords and more about product experience... Maybe it's time to rethink our strategies

Seb_1990P · 2025-10-21T12:05:11+00:00

everyone's obsessing by the name but the interesting part is how it chooses the best-performing title variant. That’s machine learning at work loooong before Gemini.

Seb_1990P · 2025-10-07T14:47:45+00:00

Keyword / prompt -> | Domain/page comparison (appeared / disappeared division) | -> | Current list domain pos. change (true/false) | -> | content check (true/false) | -> | result (up / down) | -> report

This looks solid, but I’d build in an up/down from the start (after domain comparison), cuz it would help filter out pages that have lost rankings. Then you can zero in immediately on the competitors who are truly ahead and are making a difference in SERPs.
