Google just opened a platform that plugs a business's working functions straight into Search and Gemini.
Not a link. Not a ranking. A callable function, authorised by the user.

Weird all the US vs EU car posts, I can't think of a single car from the US I'd want really in the past 30 years, not car person anyway.

I'm starting to think we have more or less arrived at the day where "rank tracking" is not worth the effort or even relevance....
Google is aggressively poisoning search results to block scrapers, feeding trackers fake data that looks perfectly normal. SEO tools are struggling to keep up as Google prioritizes fighting AI bots over tracking services. If your data looks weird, you aren't imagining it.

Updated my 120-point AI Readiness Framework.
New: an unscored 7th step, the agent discovery ladder. Can an agent find, read and act on your site without a human?
Took my own site to Level 4 in a day. Not a ranking factor. Just the floor.
