The SEO world is changing fast. This is particularly noticeable in 2026 because AI-supported search, retrieval systems and new interfaces have shaken up old beliefs.
Many myths are not the result of malicious intent, but of simplification. And this is where the problem begins.
Ever since the llms.txt format has been discussed, the idea has been circulating that such a file automatically ensures better visibility in AI systems. There is no reliable evidence for this. There is no official standard and no confirmed prioritisation by major providers.
Technical signals are important, but visibility is not created by individual files, but by structure, authority and content relevance.
Structured data helps search engines to better understand content. They can trigger rich snippets and improve the presentation. But they are not a direct ranking factor, neither for traditional search engines nor for LLM systems.
Schema supports interpretation. Ranking is based on quality, context and competition.
LLMs are often treated as independent search engines. In fact, many AI systems utilise existing search infrastructures, retrieval layers or web sources.
The presentation changes, but the substructure remains the web.
Authority, clarity, document structure and reputation remain crucial.
The mechanics shift from „Ranking in lists“ to „Citation ability in answers“.
Embedding EXIF geodata in images is considered an insider tip for local SEO in some circles. In practice, there is no reliable evidence for this.
Visible signals are crucial: file name, alt text, context, local relevance of the document. Non-hidden metadata.
SEO is not a project completion, but a competitive state.
Algorithms are evolving, competitors are continually investing, search intentions are changing.
If you view SEO as a one-off measure, you will lose visibility in the long term.
60 characters is a guideline, not a law of nature. Google adjusts titles dynamically and does not penalise them if they are longer than 60 characters.
Length is not a quality feature.
A precise, clear answer can perform better than a bloated text without substance.Google does not rate word count, but intent fulfilment.
Relevance beats length.
Meta descriptions influence the click rate.
Not directly the position.
They are a conversion element, not a ranking lever.
Backlinks are not dead. We are far from it
Quality, context and thematic proximity are crucial.
One strong editorial link is more effective than a hundred irrelevant entries.
SEO has not become more complicated in 2026, but more differentiated.
Classic SEO, GEO and AI visibility are not separate worlds.
They are based on the same principles: Document quality, authority, structure and relevance.
Those who recognise myths and understand mechanisms do not optimise for trends, but for sustainable visibility.
