Insights

Working notes, published as we go.

Method, measurement and the study. Written by the people running the work, which is why there are fewer posts than a content calendar would produce.

The short answer

Rogue Logic publishes working notes on search, answer-engine optimisation, paid media and measurement, written by the four named practitioners who run the client work, including The Answer Gap, its own study comparing who ranks in classic search against who gets cited by AI assistants.

The studyIn field

The Answer Gap: who ranks is not who gets cited

Twenty buying questions per sector across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews, compared against classic search results. Methodology published in full before the findings, so you can argue with it.
