Wow. We had so many great conversations around AI search visibility and how to action it at brightonSEO! We smiled, you smiled, and somewhere in between it all turned to coconuts. Thank you for the love, Brighton. #brightonSEO #Writesonic #AISearch

Claude switched to a new search index on Oct 5. Anthropic’s release notes don’t mention it. We spotted it in our own search logs. If you track Claude visibility, read this before your next report: writesonic.com/blog/claude-n… #AISearch #Claude #Writesonic

Claude changed how it searches the web, and we found something interesting. Full investigation in our latest X Article ↓

Claude changed its search index on October 5th and didn't tell anyone. We measured it … We ran the same 50 prompts through Claude's standard and extended search modes and compared every cited domain. The two modes share just 10% of them. Wikipedia went from 14 citations in extended mode to 1 in standard mode. Forbes went from 12 to 1. Meanwhile, a small pricing site showed up in 22% of standard-mode answers. The authority that gets you cited on Google doesn't carry over to Claude's default search. Here’s what does. writesonic.com/blog/claude-n… (Shoutout to @fenilsuchak at @openbenchmarks (YC F24) for noticing it first, and for Tarsh at Writesonic for pulling the data together!) #AEO #GEO #Claude #AISearch

We have added Muse Spark tracking to Writesonic. You can now see what Meta’s model says about your brand and how it compares you with competitors. You can read the full answers and check which pages it cites, all within Writesonic. If you are already tracking questions your buyers ask, this gives you another view of who gets recommended and why your brand might be missing. We have put together a short walkthrough here: writesonic.com/blog/muse-spa…

AI search is becoming a serious lead generation channel. Kayla Chalmers at @getjungo says they've cut Google Ads for two clients because AI is bringing in enough leads. For one client, their SEO + GEO strategy helped reduce paid spend by 50% without losing lead volume. Proud to have Jungo Solutions building with Writesonic. 🧡 Full story: writesonic.com/customers/jun…

Next stop: Brighton 🇬🇧 After San Diego and Melbourne, we’re heading to @brightonseo UK this week. You’ll find the Writesonic team at Booth 17.

Three days in Melbourne flew by. Retail Show Australia (RSA) gave @SamanyouGarg and Anthony Hu a packed few days of conversations with retailers, partners, and teams thinking seriously about how AI is changing discovery and buying behaviour. Sam also took the stage to share what we are seeing across AI-powered shopping, and the questions that followed were just as interesting as the talk itself. A lot to take back with us from this one. Thanks to everyone who stopped by! Up next: brightonSEO UK 🇬🇧 #RetailShowAustralia #Writesonic
