About this episode
Join Barry Schwartz, President at RustyBrick, Thomas Phillips, Co-Founder of DTC SEO Agency, and Janna Pugh, SEO Specialist at Five9, as they discuss how AI-driven search is rewriting the SEO rulebook. Discover where generative tools like ChatGPT and Gemini genuinely speed up competitor research, interlinking, and product categorization—and where unchecked automations can sabotage title tags and tank traffic. Learn why Google’s AI Mode, AI Overviews, and upcoming agentic shopping experiences are shifting clicks away from websites, and how rock-solid technical SEO, sharp brand positioning, and E-E-A-T safeguards keep you in the game. Tune in for candid strategies to balance AI efficiency with human insight, redefine success metrics, and stay essential as search evolves beyond the blue link.
