Three months ago, a Series B SaaS founder told me his organic traffic was down 40% year-over-year, but he couldn’t figure out why. His content was performing well. His domain authority hadn’t changed. His rankings were stable. Everything looked fine in Google Search Console.
Then we looked at what was actually happening in search results.

They were seeing AI-generated answers that compared his product to competitors, synthesized reviews and made recommendations — all without ever mentioning his brand or linking to his site.
