AI-POWERED SEO
Recover the traffic AI search took.
We help publishers and agencies use AI to diagnose why organic traffic fell — AI Overviews, core updates, or click-through decline — and fix the right cause. It is powered by Meridian, the SEO intelligence tool we built and run inside Claude, so the analysis that used to take an analyst days happens in minutes.
SEO did not die. It moved.
The publishers losing traffic in 2026 mostly are not losing rankings — they are losing the click to an AI Overview, or losing relevance to a core update that changed what Google rewards. The fix is not “more content.” It is diagnosing which of those is happening, on which pages, and responding precisely.
That diagnosis is exactly what Meridian was built to do — and what we bring to client work: traffic-drop attribution with confidence scores, cannibalization detection, and a prioritised fix list rather than a dashboard to interpret yourself.
Common questions
How has AI search changed SEO?
AI Overviews and assistants now answer many queries directly, so more searches end without a click. Visibility increasingly means being the source an AI cites, not just ranking in the blue links. This rewards content with clear answers, evidence, and authority — and it means traffic can fall even when rankings hold. Diagnosing that requires looking at search data differently.
Why did my organic traffic drop even though my rankings are stable?
The most common causes in 2026 are AI Overviews capturing the click, a core update changing how your content is valued, or click-through rate decline on positions you still hold. These are distinct problems with distinct fixes. Attributing the drop to the right cause is the first step — guessing wastes months.
What is AEO and does it replace SEO?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is structuring content so AI answer engines can extract and cite it. It does not replace SEO — around 92% of AI-cited pages also rank organically, so SEO fundamentals remain essential. AEO is the formatting and authority layer on top: clear answers, schema, and credible authorship that make your content the source AI chooses.
