What is the core question about AI agent optimization vs. traditional SERP rankings?
Next question is trend or trash? Is optimizing for AI agents instead of traditional SERP rankings a lasting trend or it will be a hype of this year?
I think it's a lasting trend.
Why do the hosts believe AI‑driven search is a lasting trend rather than hype?
I actually think for the most part it's gonna be the bigger trend next year, potentially the year after, because I think we're at the very early days of the AI agent playing a big role. It depends how you define an agent, but for the most part, I think we're at the phase of Consumers using ChatGPT, using Anthropic, using Deep Seek and other tools, really as they have with search engines in the past. But I think in the next year or two is we're see the rise of the agent to help do my B2B RFP, the agent to help shop for my groceries, the agent to help plan my travel, whether that's verticalize or separate app or inside the AI model, tough to say, but I think we're at the very start. of these agents growing in importance.
Time for a one-minute break to hear from our sponsor, Previsible.
How will AI agents change consumer behavior in the next one‑to‑two years?
So you're looking for SEO help, then you got a couple of options. You could start replying to spam from agencies that claim they can get you to rank number one on Google. You can pay an hourly rate for a consultant who will inevitably nickel and dime you with hourly charges, or you can work with a cookie cutter agency to quickly launch a strategy-less project with low success rate. None of those sound very good. Now do they? Well, that's where Previsible's integrated consulting model comes in.

And if it feels like that like almost personal assistant type category or use case is becoming more and more prominent. And I mean, just using Atlas, it feels like it's really leaning into that area where it's more of a companion rather than like that destination only source.
What practical examples illustrate AI agents helping with B2B RFPs, grocery shopping, and travel planning?
I think that's right. I mean, as OpenAI moves into the browser side of things, what's what's so interesting about that is it now has so much more data to train on about you. So it's not just your the prompts that you gave it saying, okay, I like this brand of coffee, so it can recommend that in the future. It doesn't need to ask, right? It saw your shopping cart on Amazon or Instacart or on Whole Foods. And so it knows that data and that is a really powerful tool to help it start to customize those results.
I I had the exact same thoughts like with the release.
How does the integration of browser data enhance personalized AI search results?
It was just all these kind of flashbacks of the Google API leak and the DOJ trials with nav boost and it's like, Oh yeah. Right. Makes sense why uh Chrome would be such a valued asset in that ecosystem.
Yep. Total.
All right, so that's gonna wrap up this episode of the Voice of Search podcasts.
