This is gaining more and more concensus among SEOs - that SEO (and PPC) doesnt need multi-channel marketing. This is more a demand-gen campaign to make people think they "need" social mentions for Google and AI.

If you're only getting to "ranking' on Google for citations now - chances are you've missed the boat. Only one page from each search index from Reddit and Youtube can really rank. If you want it to be your post - then standard SEO applies.

Parasitic SEO is not free SEO rankings because LinkedIn as high DA - most topics are already covered: LinkedIn gets over 1 billion clicks from Google.

Hi,

I have a project 'DC Wine & Spirits' . And I am facing a ranking issue on a specific keyword that is champagne gift baskets. Before 2 months it was ranking on the first page at 6th position from 1 year. But suddenly it drops to the 3rd page. I have tried all possible strategies and also follow guidelines from chatgpt, gemini, Claude AI, etc. Its backlinks also increased some old ones removed, but I created new ones from high authority sites. Competitors have high authority, but some low authority competitors are also ranked above.

Now what should I do please help, anything else I can do! Thanks in advance 🙏🙏
