The playbook Moonrank's GEO Agent uses to say which half of a content plan still produces clicks — and which half is already being answered without you.
Download the methodology, see the resistance test, or run it live inside the GEO Agent.
The AI-Resistant Keywords skill is how Moonrank's GEO Agent tells apart the keywords that still send traffic from the ones an answer engine now handles completely. It applies one test to each — would a generic, unsourced, three-sentence answer satisfy this query? — and backs every verdict with the modifier or the test result that produced it.
The counterintuitive part is volume. A high-volume definitional term is the most exposed keyword you own, not the safest, because it is exactly the kind of question an answer engine finishes on the results page.
It's written as a SKILL.md, a plain-language instruction format that people and AI agents can both follow. Read it to triage your own list, hand it to a content lead as a brief, or let the GEO Agent sort your tracked keywords.
“Our rankings held but traffic fell 30%. Where did it go?”
Nowhere — it stopped happening. Of your top 40 keywords by impressions, 23 are definitional and absorbed: the answer now appears above the results and nobody scrolls. Your positions are intact, which is why this looks mysterious in a rank tracker. The 17 that resist are all comparison, pricing or review queries, and they carry 71% of your remaining clicks on 34% of your impressions.
A list, or a theme for the agent to generate one from.
Would a generic three-sentence answer satisfy this query? That decides the camp.
The modifier or test result behind each verdict — never a verdict on instinct.
Absorbed and resistant, with a recommended treatment for the absorbed half.
One question applied consistently to every keyword in the list.
Purchase, comparison, evaluation, local and brand modifiers that predict resistance.
The modifier or test result recorded next to every classification.
High volume treated as exposure, not as safety.
For absorbed terms worth owning as the cited source even with no click.
Absorbed and resistant, ready to rebalance a content plan against.
