Your private AI conversations could be indexed by Google right now

In partnership with

Your ChatGPT chats might be public

Sometimes I feel like it's 2001 again.

Or 2008, when social media was just starting to take off.

You know that feeling when you post something thinking it's private, then suddenly everyone can see it?

Well, the latest culprit is ChatGPT.

Some of your private conversations might be getting indexed by Google. And showing up in search results.

As marketers, we usually want our content indexed. But not our personal thoughts. Not our private strategy sessions.

Yet here we are.

Why This Matters

I write about AI constantly. Use it daily. But I always pay attention to the ripple effects.

This is exactly why we use Gemini for most sensitive work at MeasureU. We know it stays private.

Gemini handles summarizing meeting notes well. It helps you create outlines effectively. Writes very solid corporate emails.

It's not great at marketing copy or promotional emails. But for internal work? Solid choice.

Your Options

Maybe this pushes you to try Gemini.

Maybe you just tighten up your ChatGPT security settings.

Either way, check out this post from our team member Manisha about the indexing problem. Make sure your conversations aren't public.

The Bigger Picture

I posted recently about Answer Engine Optimization and how exciting it is.

This is the flip side.

Sometimes wanting to be found comes back to bite you.

Just keeping this newsletter balanced. Keeping it real.

Check your accounts. Protect your thoughts.

Here’s an article with the exact details about this ChatGPT issue.
