Sit back, relax, and get ready for your daily dose of search engine optimization wisdom. Here's today's host of the Voices of Search podcast, Tyson Stockton. In 2024,
Semrush's report revealed that 67% of businesses already use AI for content marketing and SEO, and that was just the beginning. This underscores AI's real potential to streamline workflows and support scalable SEO operations. Yet, few SEO practitioners understand how to integrate this capability into their business and use it as a tool to amplify their impact in businesses' bottom line. This is the Voice of Search podcast. My name is Tyson, co-founder and COO of Previsible. And today I'm joined by Eric Inge, president at Pilot Holding. Eric is an SEO OG who found and sold over four SEO businesses, literally wrote the book on the art of SEO, and recently published the new book of Using Generative AI for SEO and AI for Strategies to Improve Quality, Efficiency, and Costs.
Today, Eric's going to be walking us through actionable strategies for building an effective SEO program with Gen AI. And with that, Eric, welcome back to the podcast.
Well, thanks, Tyson. I'm looking forward to it. It's a great topic, and it's always great to chat with you.
I was happy to catch up. I was fortunate enough to cross paths with you, working with different clients. I've always admired the contributions that you made to the industry. I remember getting into the industry, reading some of your early works. So I'm happy to have you on the podcast and also give some advice to the community here on how we should be really adopting Gen AI, not just as far as where we compete in SEO, but actually like how we're building programs and teams and managing the channel.
And there are a lot of great ways to do that as long as you can restrain yourself from going overboard. And we're going to talk about all that.
Well, and I feel like we have to start to, you've been in the industry for so long. You've had these different kind of successes, but yet the industry seems to keep pulling you back. So what is it about SEO right now that is so exciting? And like, what keeps you energized to keep this involvement?
So fundamentally, I'm an entrepreneur at heart. I mean, honestly, that was sort of bred into me as I was growing up. as I watched my father interacting with a lot of different entrepreneurs and saw some very successful people. And, you know, entrepreneurs, when they see disruptive events and times of change, rather than being scared of it, they embrace it because that's when new winners are born. And so that energy just comes naturally to me when there's big change on the horizon. And I think we all agree that what's going on with AI and Gen AI right now that there is big change on the horizon. So it's a cool time.
Well, let's talk a little bit, you know, maybe before like the application of how we're using this, like from your perspective right now, like where are you viewing, you know, the level of sophistication in some of the recent tools? Like not too long ago, we had the release of ChatGPT 5. So maybe we kind of start with like, what are we working with today in this technology? And how are you kind of viewing that?
So, yeah, there's two big things that are happening right now. ChatGPT-5, as you mentioned, and also agentic browsers is sort of the next thing coming. And they both have some really interesting implications. So with ChatGPT-5, the reason why this is important is one of the big critiques of where OpenAI was a year ago was that their chances of making the infrastructure required to deliver answers to people via chat GPT was not fiscally viable.
