Recommended Actions

Optimize driver-onboarding and gig-economy content for Gemini and AI Overviews.

Current visibility for income-related queries on Google's AI platforms is significantly lower (Pos 7-11) than competitors, risking supply-side growth.

Impact: High

Refine the AI-facing technical documentation for the Lyft Pink ecosystem.

Poor performance (Pos 17) on membership reward queries suggests AI models are not successfully parsing the value proposition of Lyft's subscription model.

Impact: Medium

Aggressively target 'multimodal' keywords to reclaim weekend transit traffic from Lime and BART.

Lyft is losing ground in weekend city travel queries to public transit and micro-mobility apps despite having an integrated offering.

Impact: Medium

Deploy specialized content focused on late-night event safety.

Lyft already performs well here (Pos 1-2), and doubling down on this 'safe ride home' narrative will solidify its lead over Uber in safety-conscious segments.

Impact: Low
