Is there anything I forgot? Internal-linking, indexing, RSS feed... Hello, I have a website that automatically writes articles for football (soccer) predictions using AI. I have 3 scripts, Italian Serie A, english Premier League and german Bundesliga.

Smartphone bot crawl spike I'm seeing what looks like a biweekly Smartphone bot crawl throttle every 14 days starting Dec. 19/20 that I can't account for. The site isn't being updated more than usual on this schedule (we are a news site so we publish 100s of pages daily), the sitemap isn't being updated on this schedule (we have a news sitemap updated daily), the site isn't being redesigned, we don't generate dynamic links, etc. Crawl requests, for the most part, don't seem out of the ordinary. Any ideas what could be causing... 5 0 replies

GSC Index and actual result difference Our site has an abnormally low ranking for some reason for the keyword "Scripty" (which isnt even a real word) in the GSC it says the position is 73??? Yet when I go on google I can't find our site even past the 10th page, although our about page is somehow on the 6th page. Our page is relatively new and does not have many backlinks or authority but I don't think its deserving to not exist in google.. 2 2 replies

Google isn't sending impressions or crawling a lot of new website. Since 4th February. I've just built a new website in November 24 and it has been wiped out on google since the 4th of February.

If searches gradually shift towards LLMs (ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc). How the future of SEO will look like? Thanks guys, last night I posted on reddit to increase SEO for my domain (chromaticlabs.co) and got solid responses.

Gradually people are using Chat GPT or Perplexity to search web, and that different from how SEO works with Google. If that shift happens, how will the future of SEO look like? 3 2 replies
