Been watching a couple of my pages and the way they’re getting picked up in AI answers feels all over the place lately. Stuff that should be obvious doesn’t show, then some random page with barely any depth gets referenced instead. I’m not even sure if this is an indexing thing, a retrieval thing, or just the usual Google mess bleeding into everything again. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but it’s starting to feel less about “ranking” and more about whether the system even understands what the page is for. Anyone else seeing that kind of nonsense, or is it just my sites acting up again?

Yeah, I’m seeing that too. It’s not even consistently “wrong” in a funny way, it’s just kind of sloppy. Half the time it feels like it’s grabbing whatever page is easiest to digest, not the one that actually matches the intent. Which is… great, I guess. I wouldn’t assume it’s just your sites. The whole thing still feels pretty brittle. That’s been my experience anyway.

Yeah, same here. It feels way more “whatever page Google feels like grabbing today” than any actual understanding. I’ve had pages that should be the obvious citation just get ignored, then some thin junk page gets pulled in instead. So yeah, I’m leaning retrieval/selection being flaky, not just your sites.

Yeah, I’m seeing it too. Not even in a consistent way, which is the annoying part. Feels less like “this page is wrong” and more like the system just half-recognizes the topic and grabs whatever’s easiest. Which is a pretty fun little mess if you’re trying to debug anything. I wouldn’t put this on your sites first. Google’s been doing that thing where it looks sort of intentional until you stare at it for five minutes and realize it’s just sloppy.
