Just remember - even though Google Ads do not run on AI currently, SEO is dying but not "Google" Its really hard to keep with the cognitive dissonance from the GEO corner. "We need to SEO to die but Alphabets stock isn't, so thats embarrassing. Lets pretend the user won't notice. Then we'll talk about EEAT cos content writers like that - and when SEOs point out that Google doesnt like EEAT - we'll say that ChatGPT took it over. Then we'll hit them with more Schema...

The GEO chaos is real. One thing that's getting lost in the noise: AI search doesn't hate SEO, it hates shallow content dressed up as SEO. Worth asking - is the traffic you're losing going to AI Overviews, or is it just... different queries now?

Consistent traffic starts with consistent answers. What are your prospects typing into Google when they're stuck? That's the content that converts - not 'best [category] posts'.

Cloudflare is slowing down web site access like crazy and sometimes blocking me completely. Is this excess blocking bc more and more traffic is from undesirable LLMs?

If you're seeing human traffic slow too, might not be LLMs - worth checking your server logs. But the LLM blocking thing is getting real. Some sites are already geo-blocking AI crawlers.
Hot take: the real gatekeeping isn't robots.txt - it's Cloudflare. If your content matters to AI, you might want to check how many requests are getting caught in the web config.
