This is where our original SEO automation research will live. None of the studies is finished yet, so there are no headline numbers here to quote. We'd rather publish nothing than publish something we can't back up.
You've probably seen claims like “most marketers now use AI for SEO” with no source, or a source that turns out to be a vendor survey of its own customers. When our studies are ready, each one will show exactly how it was done, so you can judge it for yourself.
What every study will include
- Methodology: how we collected the data, and its limits.
- Sample size: how many people, sites, or pages were involved.
- Findings: what we found, including the boring or awkward results.
- Charts that make the findings easy to read.
- Downloadable data, where we can share it.
- Publication and update dates, so you know how fresh it is.
Planned studies
- State of SEO Automation: which tasks teams automate, which tools they use, and how much control they hand over.
- SEO Automation Statistics: a careful list of figures we can trace to a real source.
- SEO Agent Benchmark: how well AI agents handle real SEO tasks.
- AI Content Study: how AI-assisted content performs in search, and how much review matters.
- Autonomous SEO Study: what happens when a system runs the SEO loop by itself for months.
In the meantime
If you need guidance now, the strategy pages and frameworks are built from practical experience rather than statistics, and say so.
