Next one's gonna be what's the worst? What's one word in your mind that sums up where AI search visibility is headed?
Um
Why does Killian say AI search visibility is becoming “compressed”?
Compressed, I think. What's happening is noise is getting compressed into very specific information. And so it means that there are as an SEO, there's probably a handful of main points that we want our brand to be known for. And we need to now be really, really selective as to what those points are. We kind of need to work under the assumption that instead of thinking, okay, hey, a user's going to hear 20 things about us and let's kind of um have these 20 different messages, instead we need one or two messages. that get like hammered home over and over. This is our message. This is how we're unique. Anybody hears us, they think this is the concept they think of. And getting that message really dialed will be will be a huge part of positioning.
And the rest will get compressed into um into that single message.
Agree with that.
How is attribution becoming more complex in AI‑driven search?
I would I think from my side, I would add like complexity to it. And it would just go back to kind of your point earlier of how attribution is getting more difficult. You have greater variance in different users' prompts. So I think like the narrative or the kind of like the kind of source of truth in this is getting a lot cloudier and a little more complex in creating that like attribution line. And so it feels like we're we're kind of in this era of, you know, having maybe a few more blind spots or just kind of like not clear vision into some of those attribution lines.
Is attribution the area you think that complexity has increased most?
Mm. I mean it's a chicken or the egg in that sense. Like I think it is, but it's more of a result of like the user and like how the user is going to search a little bit different from one person to another. And so I think like Maybe it's not the most, but I think it's like a response to the changing consumer behavior and how we're interacting with the systems.
What challenges do SEOs face when choosing the highest‑leverage actions?
But it's like I mean, at least what I've been kind of advocating for people is like you don't necessarily need to know every single keyword that people are searching for for your website. Like we've never looked at every single query that's like going to a site. So you don't need to worry about every single prompt. It's like you're using that for a signal and for kind of like validation into your efforts rather than like an exhaustive like I need to know every kind of prompt that's driving users to my site.
Makes sense. Yeah, I think I think there's um there's a bunch of areas. I think the the the broader tooling stack is becoming more broad. I think there's we're kind of mixing a lot of um platforms with also point solutions, and it's difficult to know what is top priority. I think that's the kind of common thing we hear a lot, is like um finding out what is the single highest leverage action you can take as an SEO is becoming more difficult because there are more possible high leverage actions you could take.
Why are stakeholder management and competitive research key for enterprise SEO?
And in some level too, like in especially like these performance reportings and kind of like visibility areas, in my mind, like two of the strongest use cases in those typically comes from, especially if you're in like an enterprise type organization, stakeholder management, as well as competitive research, like almost like inputs for strategy. And I think like those if I'm looking at then how do I approach it, like those are gonna be two areas that I'm gonna be kind of aiming towards.
