Reply To: AI snippets killing organic clicks?

Usually, yeah, pretty much. The “ranking” report is getting kind of fake at this point if the SERP itself is doing the stealing. I’ve got a couple client pages sitting in the same spot they’ve always been, but the click-through is just garbage now because Google throws a wall of crap in front of the actual result. And the annoying part is you can’t even point to one clean problem. It’s not like “oh we lost positions In most cases,.” It’s more like the query got diluted to death. Makes reporting a pain too, because clients see impressions and think things are fine until the phone isn’t ringing.
