The following is a BONUS EPISODE recorded by the Exposure Ninja team. ---------- By 2026, traditional SEO traffic could plummet by 50% as AI transforms how people discover and evaluate businesses online. But here's the opportunity: while most companies are stuck in outdated SEO tactics, generative AI platforms are creating new ways to capture visibility and traffic. Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is fundamentally reshaping search behaviour. The data shows users aren't just changing where they search – they're completely transforming how they interact with search engines. Search Console reveals longer, more conversational queries that mirror AI chatbot interactions. Users have multiple AI platform touchpoints before ever reaching a website through Google. Success requires a shift from traditional SEO thinking. Instead of chasing rankings, businesses need to focus on building genuine authority across platforms, managing user-generated content, and creating clear, contextual content that AI platforms can confidently reference. The early adopters implementing these strategies now will dominate their industries by 2025. In this Podcast Extra, some of our front-line marketers discuss how you can optimise for these new platforms and how to strategise for multi-platform dominance too.

For the first time ever, Google lost search users. This signals a fundamental shift towards AI-powered search and marketers need to adapt their strategies now for this emerging reality. The signs were there. ChatGPT's rise. Perplexity's growing user base. And now, Ofcom's data confirms what many of us suspected: traditional search is evolving. Think about how you find information today. Need a quick answer? You might ask ChatGPT. Looking for market insights? Perplexity AI might be your first stop. The data shows you're not alone. But here's what fascinates me: Google's advertising revenue hit record highs in Q2 2024, up 10% when analysts expected a decline. Seems contradictory, doesn't it? Let me explain: Whilst Google's user base shrinks, those who remain are more engaged, more likely to convert. The platform isn't dying – it's transforming. What does this mean for your marketing strategy? First, don't panic. Your SEO efforts aren't wasted. But you need to expand your horizon beyond traditional search optimisation. Enter GEO – Generative Engine Optimisation. It's SEO's evolution for an AI-first world. Here's your action plan: 1. Keep optimising for traditional search 2. Start learning GEO principles (watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoIc8LkSETo) 3. Track AI-referred traffic carefully 4. Diversify your traffic sources The future of search isn't a SINGLE platform anymore. It's a symphony of traditional search engines and AI-powered tools. And like any good orchestra, success comes from mastering multiple instruments. Want to stay ahead? Start preparing for this shift today. Your future self will thank you.
