Google held Cloud Next '26 in Vegas this week and barely mentioned AI Overviews. They spent three days on agents instead — and that tells you everything about where the next phase of AI search is heading. Meanwhile, at SEO Week in New York, Microsoft Bing previewed the next chapter of their AI Performance dashboard, and it's further ahead than what Google currently gives us inside Search Console.

In this episode, Cassie breaks down:

•  What Cloud Next means for AI search visibility (hint: it's bigger than ChatGPT and Perplexity now)
• What Bing's new Citation Share, Grounding Query Intent, and GEO Recommendations mean for marketers
• Why now — not Q4 — is the moment to optimize for agentic commerce.

Plus quick hits on Google's back-button hijacking penalty, DeepSeek V4, and the agentic commerce trend line connecting Microsoft and OpenAI.

If you're listening to this and thinking I need someone to lead this for me, that's what I do.
