Why does Kevin say most SEO teams are optimizing the wrong pages for visibility?
Today we're talking about why most teams are approaching AI search wrong, what actually drives visibility, and how to build influence beyond your own domain. What's the biggest misinformation that our industry is telling us about AI?
It's just a like a a token predictor. While not s wrong at the technical perspective when it comes to an LM, AI has like long learned to reason, right? There's a lot of personalization going on.
Time for a one-minute break to hear from our sponsor, Previsible. So you're looking for SEO help, then you got a couple of options.
How does the shift from evergreen content to mini‑products and research affect SEO strategy?
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. Previsible draws from a collective 40 years of SEO and digital marketing experience to unlock your organic growth opportunities. They build custom solutions that combine strategy, technical expertise, content, and reporting to effectively operationalize SEO for your business.

Then they support you in your efforts to create quality content, help you identify technical issues, and most importantly, to work with your cross-functional teams to integrate your SEO strategies to make sure that your SEO budget actually drives results, not just your agency's bottom line.

How can you systematically test AI‑driven SEO opportunities before full investment?
And now with agents, I think it's a very short-sighted perspective to say, oh yeah, they just predict the next word. It's like, uh, they kind of do a lot more than that now.
