Whito’s view (UK)

SEO is no longer only about Google. In our June 2026 AI Door Test we found that 92% of UK business websites give AI crawlers no instruction at all, so they get crawled but are rarely structured clearly enough to be quoted in an AI answer. Ranking is shifting from stuffing keywords to being the clearest, most citeable answer to a real question. Fix structure before you chase positions.
