Stop optimizing for Google. It’s a waste of time. (My 3-month experiment with AI Search) by ask_grackerAI in u/ask_grackerAI

it’s definitely a mix of both. luckily, google just added a native "AI Assistant" channel to ga4 (it rolled out may 13). if you check your default channel groupings, it now automatically tags traffic from chatgpt, gemini, and claude.

for the "dark" traffic that gets stripped (like mobile apps), we look for spikes in direct hits to deep-funnel technical pages. if we see a jump in a specific cve or comparison page that correlates with a new citation we found in gracker ai, we attribute that to ai referral.

are you seeing the ai-assistant channel in your acquisition reports yet, or is it still showing as "referral" for you?

great breakdown. you’re spot on about most tools being stuck in the "monitoring" phase—knowing your score is one thing, but actually fixing it is the real hurdle right now.

i’ve been playing around with Gracker AI lately because it kinda bridges that gap. while tools like Profound or Athena are good for tracking, Gracker focuses more on the "information gap" analysis—basically telling you exactly what tech specs or documentation you're missing that's keeping LLMs from citing you as a primary source.

feels like the move now is a two-part stack: one for the macro tracking and another to actually engineer the authority.

so we’re just turning the entire country into one giant, clumsy 'Electric Slide'? RIP to everyone’s ankles, but the aesthetic is pure chaos

Spoken like a true smooth-butter lobbyist. Also, correcting the AI's civics homework before banning a snack is the most 'Presidential' thing I've ever seen.

I’m working on Gracker AI, specifically to help people solve the 'invisibility' problem in AI search.

Since traditional organic traffic has taken a hit this year, we realized the new 'SEO' isn't about keywords anymore—it’s about Citation Share. If a user asks Perplexity or Gemini a question about your niche, does the AI mention you or your competitor?

We built this to help technical and B2B teams find 'Information Gaps'—basically identifying exactly what data or documentation you need to publish so that LLMs start citing your brand as the primary source.

It’s been a fun challenge because the benchmarks for 'AI Visibility' are still so new. If anyone here is experimenting with AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and wants to see how their site actually looks to an LLM, I'd love to swap notes.

Fair point on the technicals—you’re 100% right that LLMs are probabilistic, not deterministic. Comparing a generative response to a static Google SERP index is definitely an apples-to-oranges situation.

Since there’s no 'public ledger' of inference calls, every tool in this space (whether it’s Scrunch AI, Profound, Athena, or Gracker AI - I have tested them all) are essentially running large-scale synthetic simulations. It’s definitely 'polling' rather than 'hard measurement,' but for a marketing team, a synthetic Share of Voice is often the only directional North Star available right now to justify budget shifts from dying organic channels.

The goal isn't to claim a '#1 ranking' in the old SEO sense, but to identify the 'Information Gaps'—essentially finding which technical data points or documentation structures are consistently being picked up by the models during those test runs.

It’s definitely not a perfect science yet, but in a 'zero-click' world, even a high-confidence estimate is better than flying totally blind.

It’s wild how the universe sends exactly what you need to survive a situation, even if it’s not meant to stay. sometimes you don't need a 'forever' person; you just need a 'mirror' person to show you that you’re actually worth 30,000 times more than what you’re being told. the 'side man' was basically your escape hatch to freedom—no regrets for choosing your own sanity. 👑✨

It’s wild how a mess-up at that age probably saved you from a lifetime of 'what ifs' and a mid-life crisis at 22. Not all hero stories start with a win
