Welcome to my corner of the internet — where I tinker with AI search intelligence, study how Google’s AI Overviews work, and share what I figure out along the way.

Who I Am

Just a Guy Obsessed
with AI Search

Hey! I’m Imran — not a big agency, not a corporate consultant. Just someone who fell deep into the rabbit hole of AI Overviews and never looked back.

This site is my lab notebook. I use it to document experiments, share findings, and practice building things. The robot in the corner? That’s ARIA — my practice project mascot. Click her 5 times. Go on.

I’m currently obsessed with reverse-engineering how Google decides what goes into an AIO — the content patterns, semantic triggers, and authority signals that make the AI pick one page over another.

What I Geek Out About

My AI Search Obsessions

AIO Trigger Hunting

I spend way too many hours studying which search queries produce AI Overviews and which don’t — looking for the patterns behind the curtain.

Content Experiments

Testing different content formats, structures, and semantic signals to see what makes Google’s AI choose one answer over another. Lots of failures. Some wins.

SERP Pattern Analysis

Tracking how AIOs change over time, which verticals are most affected, and how a single content change shifts an entire AI-generated answer.

Competitor Reverse-Engineering

Pulling apart pages that consistently win AI Overviews. Why them? What’s the formula? I dig until I find the answer — or fall asleep trying.

Building AI Tools

Hacking together small tools to track, monitor, and analyse AIO appearances. Most are ugly scripts. This website is the prettiest thing I’ve made.

Writing & Sharing

Documenting everything I learn — publicly. If I figured something out about AIOs, I’d rather share it than sit on it. Knowledge compounds faster when shared.

How I Think

My Research Loop

STEP 01

Observe

Spot something weird in the SERPs. Ask “why does that AIO look like that?” and refuse to let it go until I know.

STEP 02

Hypothesise

Form a theory. “I think the AIO triggers because of X.” Write it down. Then try to prove myself wrong first.

STEP 03

Experiment

Change one variable. Wait. Observe the result. Document it whether I was right or wrong — failures teach more than wins.

STEP 04

Share

Write it up. Post it. Someone else learns. Someone corrects me. I learn more. The loop restarts. This is the way.

I’m always up for a good conversation about AI search, swapping experiments, or just geeking out about where search is heading. No pitches. Just curiosity.
