Overview

This video explains how to adapt SEO strategies for the rise of AI search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. It highlights that AI-driven recommendations are more valuable than traditional search clicks and provides a playbook with on-page and off-page tactics to ensure businesses are recommended by AI.

Key takeaways

• AI SEO is a New Opportunity: AI search tools are changing how people find businesses, offering a more valuable customer base (4.4x more valuable than Google clicks) than traditional search.
• AI SEO vs. Traditional SEO: AI SEO focuses less on exact keywords and more on understanding user intent and context. It also prioritizes conversational, human-sounding content and real-world mentions over backlinks.
• On-Page Strategies: Create "best fit briefs" (short posts answering specific user needs), "top reasons series" (listing why your business is the best for a service), strategic service/city posts, and service comparison tables. Ensure key pages like FAQ, case studies, testimonials, and pricing are optimized.
• Off-Page Strategies: Focus on getting your business mentioned across the web on directories, review sites, and social media. Accumulating positive reviews, especially on platforms like Yelp, is crucial. Getting featured in articles or using press release services to amplify mentions also boosts AI visibility.
• Content for AI: Content should be conversational, helpful, specific, and brief. It should be written from an expert's perspective about your business, not directly from the business owner. AI doesn't penalize for duplicate or thin content as much as Google does, so focus on providing value.
