Reply To: AI answers killing my traffic?

Yeah, that’s been my experience too. Not every query, but enough that you can’t really shrug it off anymore. The annoying part is exactly what you said — page still “exists” in the rankings, but the click never happens because the answer gets parked right in the SERP. Google’s been doing that lazy middleman thing for a while now. Hard to tell if it’s a real quality shift or just them hoarding the traffic, honestly. That’s how I look at it.
