Good question.
好問題。
1 & 2) I always start where my audience lives.
第 1、2 點)我總是從我的受眾所在的地方開始。
Let's assume, theoretically, that everyone uses Google search daily in 2026 (and they actually do).
假設,理論上,2026 年每個人每天都用 Google 搜尋(事實上也確實如此)。
But 15 years ago, everyone actively used Facebook, then Instagram came along, YouTube became more popular, and now there's TikTok. Various communities are more active on Telegram, etc.
但 15 年前,大家都活躍在 Facebook,後來 Instagram 出現、YouTube 變得更熱門,現在又有 TikTok。各種社群在 Telegram 等平台上更活躍。
I previously worked at a mobile app advertising company, and collecting Clickstream data and processing it accurately over a long period is a very laborious task. Ultimately, modeling and prediction will still come into play. The number of devices currently in use is also high; is data being collected from mobile devices or only desktops? That's why I believe providing a demand score, as we do, is better. But please don't interpret this as a promotion of PEEC. Let me explain the reason with a very clear example. When researching a non-English market, you must also be familiar with the structure of that country's language; therefore, the intensity of native searches is naturally at its peak. This is the biggest advantage of our research team. We know the American market very well; we can see what works, and similarly, we know non-English markets very well. But ChatGPT still searches using English fanouts. This raises questions in my mind regarding clickstream data. If the data is very robust, there's no problem, but since this is a trade secret for platforms, we naturally won't get a transparent answer. https://www.searchenginejournal.com/chatgpt-search-often-switches-to-english-in-fan-out-queries-report/567811/ We mostly examine US data, but the situation is very different in non-English markets. Therefore, we come back to the same point: demand. https://docs.peec.ai/metrics/prompt-metrics/prompt-volume
我以前在一家行動 App 廣告公司工作,長期收集並準確處理 clickstream 資料是非常費工的事。最後仍然要靠建模與預測。目前使用的裝置數量也很龐大;資料是從行動裝置收集的,還是只有桌機?這就是為什麼我相信像我們這樣提供需求分數會更好。但請不要把這當成 PEEC 的宣傳。讓我用一個很清楚的例子說明原因。研究非英語市場時,你必須熟悉該國語言的結構,因此母語搜尋的強度自然是最高的。這是我們研究團隊最大的優勢:我們非常了解美國市場,能看到什麼有效,同樣地,我們也很了解非英語市場。但 ChatGPT 仍然用英文 fan-out 去搜尋。這讓我對 clickstream 資料產生疑問。如果資料非常穩健,那沒問題,但這是各平台的商業機密,我們自然得不到透明的答案。https://www.searchenginejournal.com/chatgpt-search-often-switches-to-english-in-fan-out-queries-report/567811/ 我們大多檢視美國的資料,但非英語市場的情況非常不同。所以我們又回到同一點:需求。https://docs.peec.ai/metrics/prompt-metrics/prompt-volume
Along with this, I am also in favor of generating prompts that correctly address the funnel and tracking them. As a research team, we are constantly thinking about this and working on what we can present and model more accurately on the demand side, and our product team is working in the same way. (I'm not against using prompt volume.) Here, the focus should be on the quality of prompts generated when first setting up a project. An AI search/SEO expert can understand this when reviewing the dashboard, and we are trying to provide and improve this.
此外,我也贊成建立能正確涵蓋整個漏斗的 prompt 並追蹤它們。身為研究團隊,我們一直在思考並研究在需求端能更準確呈現與建模的方式,產品團隊也是如此。(我並不反對使用 prompt 搜尋量。)重點應放在專案剛建立時所產生的 prompt 的品質。AI 搜尋/SEO 專家在檢視儀表板時能看出這一點,而我們也正在提供並改進它。
GSC is still not good; there is very little data. Bing WMT and Clarity are much better. I also check them weekly.
GSC 仍然不夠好,資料非常少。Bing WMT 和 Clarity 好得多,我每週也都會看。
3) I have been using DataForSEO for a very long time and recommend its use. By the way, related to the first question: they have also been providing a modeling system for prompt volume for a very long time. https://dataforseo.com/help-center/what-is-ai-search-volume-in-dataforseo
第 3 點)我用 DataForSEO 很久了,推薦使用。順帶一提,和第一個問題有關:他們也提供 prompt 搜尋量的建模系統很久了。https://dataforseo.com/help-center/what-is-ai-search-volume-in-dataforseo
Prompt tracking delusion: Sometimes it's better to think in reverse or from a manager's perspective. Even within Google, 3 different areas have emerged: AIO, AIM, and classic search. How do we report this, is it really possible to get an insight? Yes, it's possible through AI visibility dashboards.
Prompt 追蹤的幻覺:有時候最好反過來想,或從主管的角度想。光是 Google 內部就出現了 3 個不同的區塊:AIO、AIM 和傳統搜尋。我們要怎麼回報這些?真的可能得到洞察嗎?可以,透過 AI 能見度儀表板就做得到。
What excites me in this field is parametric memory, how citations change according to the model, semantic links and grounding, the RAG world. In the 2024 Google algorithm leak, how many SEO experts, including myself, managed to get our websites to the top in less than a month? The answer is probably zero. But our work continued, the reports didn't stop. Being able to present concrete data is always important, and I think tools fundamentally fill this gap first.
這個領域讓我興奮的是參數記憶(parametric memory)、引用如何隨模型而改變、語意連結與 grounding,還有 RAG 的世界。2024 年 Google 演算法外洩時,包括我在內,有多少 SEO 專家能在不到一個月內讓自己的網站衝到第一?答案大概是零。但我們的工作仍在繼續,報告也沒有停。能夠呈現具體資料永遠很重要,我認為工具基本上就是先填補這個缺口。
