Alongside all the AI search news this week, something quieter and more worrying is happening that bloggers need to pay attention to.
Google seems to be slowly deindexing pages across tons of sites but Google will not really say why.
This is not a small number of sites. SEO communities are filling up with reports from site owners who are checking their Search Console coverage reports and finding pages that were previously indexed are now showing as excluded. The pages are not getting manual action notices.
They are not showing crawl errors. They are simply being quietly removed from the index without explanation.
Multiple industry sources report that direct answers from AI Overviews reduce clicks on broad informational queries. Finch notes concerns that clickthrough could fall by more than 50% on some query types.
This context matters because Google may be using AI search performance signals to quietly deprioritize pages that are not adding unique value beyond what AI Overviews can already answer directly.
Сообщество r/SEO на Reddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/SEO/has the most comprehensive discussion of the de-indexing pattern right now. Site owners are comparing which types of pages are disappearing most frequently.
The pattern points strongly toward thin informational pages, pages with no clear author attribution, and pages that largely restate information available on other sites.
What Type of Content Is Getting Hit
AI SEO news in June 2026 confirms one clear pattern. Average AI-generated blog spam will lose value faster because the web is flooded with it and AI answer systems need cleaner sources to cite. Companies with strong entity clarity, topical clusters, and trusted authors will pull ahead.
Classic rankings still matter. Research shows 92.36% of AI Overviews include at least one site already ranking in the top 10. Your best move is to fix revenue-linked pages first — comparisons, pricing, use-case pages, objection pages, and category content with clear definitions, short answers, fresh facts, and trust signals.
The practical response is to open your Search Console coverage report today and check for any shift in the number of indexed pages over the past 30 days. If you see a drop that does not match any pages you intentionally removed, you are likely caught in this quiet deindexing wave.
Small teams can still win. Start with money pages, fix crawl and indexing issues, refresh pages already getting impressions, and build tight topic clusters instead of publishing random blog posts.
