📊 How much of your attribution reporting is observed, and how much is estimated? A useful guide from @bngsrc : she correctly points out that understanding the difference between what was measured and what was estimated can be the difference between making a good decision and confidently making a bad one! Before using attribution to shift budgets: * Separate observed data from modeled estimates. * Compare methodologies and identify where they disagree. * Verify business outcomes against CRM or backend data. * Make measurement limitations clear when providing recommendations.

🚨 The #SEOFOMO State of AI Search Optimization Report – 2026 Edition is here 👇 The results are in! 171 search professionals from 36 countries answered this year’s SEOFOMO State of AI Search Optimization survey between 17 and 27 August, and there’s a lot in here… including how much has shifted since last year’s edition. Some key insights: * 98% of respondents have had a client, manager or decision maker ask about AI search visibility, up from 91% last year. The bigger jump is budget: 69% now have it allocated, versus 38% in 2025. 61% say their investment grew during 2026, and only 1% saw it cut. * 75% have a dedicated AI search optimization strategy for at least some of their sites, up from 51%. 92% are tracking AI visibility and citations, up from 78%. And the share saying nobody owns this work dropped from 11% to 4%, someone’s finally in charge. * The SEO team leads it for 77% of respondents, basically where it was last year at 75%, and most budget still lives inside SEO. Standalone AI search budgets grew from around 5% to 15%, so they exist now, they’re just not the norm. * ChatGPT leads, followed by Google’s AI search surfaces and Gemini. This is multi-platform work already. * 56% report at least some positive business impact, though only 5% call it significant, 28% see none yet, and 5% report a negative impact. The share attributing more than 5% of site revenue to AI search more than doubled, from 8% to 19%. But 46% still put it at 0-5%, and 35% can’t tell what it contributes at all.
