The Fortnightly AI SEO Newsletter Built From $20M+ in Attributed Client Revenue
Two emails a month from inside the live client campaigns where we're getting brands cited in Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot. Specific tactics. No filler. No reading list. Join marketing leaders tracking how Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot are changing organic discovery. Each issue is written from Rankmax’s live campaign work, not scraped from industry roundups.
What You'll Get in Every Issue
Not a roundup of someone else's articles. Each issue shares what we're seeing right now across Google, AI Overviews and the major LLM search engines, from campaigns we're actively running.
Every issue ends with a single thing you can hand to your team. Restructure a page, fix a citation gap, tighten a passage. Something specific, not a reading list.
Two or three updates from Google, OpenAI, Perplexity or Microsoft that actually change how your buyers find you. The rest we leave alone.
Every issue is short enough to read between meetings, but specific enough to hand to your SEO, content or growth team. You get the signal from live AI search work without another long industry roundup.
What Recent Issues Have Covered
Ahrefs research shows pages that rank for a higher number of fan-out sub-queries are 161% more likely to be cited in Google AI Overviews. We unpacked the four-stage fan-out process and the structural changes we now make on every client page so they get pulled into more sub-queries. Underlying research: Query Fan-Out.
Compared to 18.7% for informational queries. If you sell anything, your bottom-of-funnel content is exactly what ChatGPT is actively hunting for. We mapped which commercial query patterns trigger real-time citations and how to win them before your competitor does. Underlying research: Search Intent in 2026.
Per Ahrefs research, almost half of every ChatGPT citation is pulled from the opening third of a page. We covered the structural rewrite we now make across client content so the citable answer lives above the fold, not buried in section seven. Underlying research: Search Intent in 2026.
