Why I don't post my Google and AI rankings on LinkedIn

It's actually a nice moment. My online magazines—Shots Magazin, Sierkscom, and PR Agent—are regularly recommended at the top of Google AI Overview and in search.

For search terms such as “book a fashion advertorial“ and similar important words we are ranked #1 or in the top results. AI Overview from Google always has us at the top too.

And Google Discover regularly pushes our articles into the feeds. A typical occasion, then, to on LinkedIn to open the digital champagne.

Business clichés

Screenshot. Two lines of self-congratulation. Three business phrases. Five emojis. What a great go-getter I am. You know the drill.

I left it anyway. Why? Because I don't currently feel the need to present myself personally in a network that loves itself more than it cares about creating impact.

LinkedIn has long since abandoned its original concept. Today, it's a platform for often embarrassing self-promotion, content anxiety, political correctness, and the desperate attempt to appear relevant at all costs.

In my timeline

◉ Coaches and insurers who, thanks to poor Self-PR have no customers.
◉ Agency heads who have nothing meaningful to say other than self-congratulation.
◉ “Thought Leader” who deals with ChatGPT quotes pat each other on the back.
◉ And people who write that they have nothing to say today, but absolutely have to share it.

What else happens?

➡️ Google, AI systems and organic relevance decide who is visible.
➡️ A top ranking on Google generates more revenue than 1.000 likes on LinkedIn.
➡️ What counts is who is actually found – and not who quotes themselves the loudest in the feed.

Germany's economy

If we ask ourselves why purchasing power is declining and why real performance is often overlooked, then a quick look into the LinkedIn universe helps.

While some entrepreneurs are still working, others are discussing the difference between purpose and vision in their “feel good” posts.

While strategists really Campaigns others are working on their next viral selfie with buzzword roulette.

The economic standstill is no secret. It's just a social network away. A lot of working time is being wasted pointlessly.

Conclusion

I don't publish my rankings on LinkedIn. Not because I don't want to show them. But because they speak for themselves – without any applause or waste of time.

If you want to play, you can find us: At Google and in AI systems. That is, where visibility is created.

By the way, one reads more and more often that LinkedIn randomly deleted profiles If it affected me: So what?

It would be a shame to lose the few hundred followers of my online magazines there, but otherwise I would only gain more time for the essentials.
