AI 本地面板升溫，Publisher Badge 也來了
Local Search Gets More AI 現在變化最明顯的，是 local visibility。Search Engine Roundtable 發現，Google 正把部分 local knowledge panels，也就是使用者搜尋品牌或在地商家時看到的資訊框，改成類似 AI Overview 的面板，還加入「show more」流程，點開後會進入接近 AI Mode 的體驗。
Google SERP 波動趨緩，但工具端數據起霧
SERP 數據起霧 和昨天相比，SEO 整體波動已經降溫。9 月 16 日與 17 日排名出現中度震盪，高點來到 6.1/10，但目前 2026 年 9 月 18 日 的部分讀值已回落到 4/10。先把這個數字當成暫時值，不是最終結果。
Search 降溫，Discover 變得更難看清
今天的異常重點是 Search Console 的「氣象站」小故障：Crawl Stats 報表缺少 2026 年 9 月 15 日的資料。Search Engine Roundtable 指出，這個情況出現在多個 Search Console 帳戶，屬於 Google 回報落差，不代表 Google 停止爬取你的網站。如果伺服器 log 和已索引頁面都正常，先別因為這件事重改 SEO 規劃。
AI Mode 正在把點擊帶進迷霧
AI Mode 正在往前推進 眼下最值得注意的變化，是 AI Mode 從一般 Search 分流點擊。Search Engine Roundtable 指出，Google 正在測試放在 AI Overviews 裡的連結，外觀看起來和一般連結差不多，但點下去不是前往網站頁面，而是直接進入 AI Mode。這代表就算網站在 AI 區塊拿到曝光，點擊也可能被 Google 留在自己的回答流程裡。
