3 Common AI SEO Mistakes (and How to Fix Them Fast)
Trying to get noticed by Google’s AI Overview or Perplexity, but feeling invisible? You’re not alone. Most websites are still stuck in the pre-AI era — and it’s costing them traffic, credibility, and revenue.
❌ Mistake #1: Optimizing for Humans, Not Machines
You’ve written a beautiful article — but if Google’s AI can’t read it clearly, you won’t get featured. AI looks for structure: summaries, questions, answers, and clarity. If your post looks like a wall of text, you’re out of the game before it begins.
❌ Mistake #2: Forgetting to Establish a Clear Authority Page
Google’s AI wants to know: “Who’s the expert here?” If your site lacks a central hub — a landing page with purpose, clarity, and structure — you’re just another blog in the noise.
❌ Mistake #3: Ignoring Internal Links
Most people think links are just for SEO — but for AI, they’re signals. If your blog posts don’t clearly link back to your main offer or your best content, you’re missing huge visibility opportunities.
🚨 Why This Matters Now
Google is quietly rolling out AI Overviews — a system that pulls content directly from your site and shows it to searchers before they even visit a website. If you’re not preparing for this shift, your traffic could vanish overnight.
Big brands already know this. But smaller businesses and creators? Most are totally unprepared.
