Some AI performance data is now in Bing Webmaster Tools -- pages cited and some kind of partial grounded query (root topic?) A good start from Bing. Not expecting Google to follow but would be thrilled to be mistaken. seroundtable.com/bing-webmas…

Salience is now live: connect your website for free and start measuring first-party data that most teams never see, let alone act on.
Your server and CDN logs show what is actually reaching your site, what gets requested, how often crawlers return, what your infrastructure serves them and where things go wrong.
Built alongside my co-founders @ndredding and @channel5 , Salience is designed to make that raw log data genuinely useful and actionable in real time.
That includes seeing how search engines and AI crawlers such as ChatGPT and Claude interact with your site: which pages they visit, how frequently they return, what they request and whether they encounter errors.
We originally built it off the back of problems we were solving for clients, particularly around crawling, indexing, and AI visibility across products, collections and editorial content, and large marketplace listing websites while giving teams access to a layer of insight they’d rarely had before.
It’s designed for a broad range of sites, from Shopify and BigCommerce stores through to publishers, marketplaces and larger businesses running custom technology stacks.
It’s also useful beyond #SEO and search, with insights for development, content and security teams, whether you’re in-house, an agency or a consultant.
We’ve already had some great feedback from beta users, so thank you to everyone who has tested it so far.
We’d love more of it: what’s useful, what’s missing and what could be better.
There’s a working demo to explore, or you can connect a production site for free and see what your own data tells you.
Please share it with anyone on your team who might find it useful.
Visit: salience.com for more detail.
Great deep dive on the Colts by @By_NathanBrown on Friday’s @Steelersdepot podcast. Appreciated the interesting details and insights.

Are SEOs actually scared AI will take their jobs?
Rather than guess, I want data.
I’m surveying SEO/search professionals about AI, job security, career anxiety, and how sentiment has changed over the past year.

Been scheming this up over the summer and really pleased with how it came out, especially the set! There’s so much storytelling potential in college wrestling and we’re always looking for fun ways to deliver on that. Hokies are coming!
Vague confirmation emails to keep Google out and you inside of Amazon's ecosystem. So much for focusing obsessively on the customer.

Google One is cutting benefits again. Gemini limits and no more AI credits. But at least it’s getting a new name: Google AI Plus. I remember when they used to throw in freebies, like a VPN.
Carl already had a great knowledge graph search widget. And now there’s a Search Profiles lookup.
Google has launched Search profiles for publishers and creators.
So I built a tool to help you find Search Profiles from anywhere.
