You don't have to love AI. Pretty ambivalent about it, myself. Don't have to approve of every way it's being used. I don't. But it is here. Maybe activism or courts will change the landscape, but until then? I'm interested in the question: how do we thrive in the world we've just been handed?
Brand not showing up in AI yet? Try tightening your FAQ...and adding to it. It's the single most scannable, high-yield place for AI to understand who you are. #AISearch #DigitalMarketing

SEO used to be a game of visibility. AI Search makes it a game of authenticity. The new strategy is ancient: be good, and make sure the AI knows you’re good. That means credible content, consistent branding, strong entity authority, and a clear story about who you’re best for. #SEO #AISearch #AIO

Some AI browsers are already steering users towards a primarily chat-based experience. Those 10 blue links aren't dead yet, but...the day is probably coming. But their demise doesn't have to mean the death of your brand. devhudson.substack.com/p/rip-to-the...

You probably won't miss 'em.

Everyone saying AI search is just SEO isn't wrong, but there's some nuance here. If your brand has done everything right, your search visibility and AI mentions probably overlap perfectly. If your brand, like so many others, went for "good enough," you may be invisible now.

You can't trick Google anymore. You actually have to be the best choice. You have to be good. Then you have to make sure the AI knows you're good. AI Search transforms a game of visibility into a game of authenticity.

Zero-click search was always Google's endgame. AI has only made official what was always true: they want you on their site, not someone else's. How you win: let your brilliant internal experts tell the stories that only they can tell. #AIMarketing #DigitalStrategy #SearchMarketing #SEO

You can no longer win the content game with generic material that just anyone (including AI) can create. Unique, high value thought leadership born from your hard-won experience is the only way to rise above the noise.
