    Is it normal for AI Visibility to suddenly drop to 0?

    It was showing yesterday, but today it’s gone. My site is only 2 months old. How is this metric calculated? Is a sudden drop to zero normal fluctuation or a data issue? Could it be related to the May update?

    Are Medium and Blogger hard to get indexed by Google?

    I’ve been publishing industrial equipment technical articles on Blogger and Medium for about 2 months (over 20 posts in total), but Google is barely indexing them.

    I have a guess that I'm not sure is correct, and I’d like to discuss it with everyone.

    I am willing to learn with an open mind. I would like to ask everyone a question.

    I would like to ask you a question. Why is it that since the update in March this year, Google seems to be stable, but the traffic ranking has been fluctuating greatly, with no signs of stability? Is this aimed at white hat SEO? Half a year has passed since 2025, and Google is extremely...
