Back to EpisodesEp 122: Forget SEO. Optimise for AI
Description
Search is changing—and your brand needs to catch up.
Consumers are no longer relying solely on Google. A new Harvard Business Review study reveals a dramatic shift: people are now turning to generative AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini for recommendations, planning, and purchases.
In this episode, I unpack why SEO is no longer enough, and what brands must do to stay relevant in the AI era.
You’ll learn:
- Why over half of consumers now prefer AI tools over traditional search
- The rise of Share of Model (SOM)—a new visibility metric for brands in AI results
- What the “Cyborgs,” “AI Pioneers,” and “High-Street Heroes” of the LLM era look like
- How to teach AI models what your brand does, why it matters, and when to recommend it
