Structured data specialization will separate winners from also-rans in AI search. Alex Sherman, co-founder and CEO of Bluefish AI, brings that perspective from building PromoteIQ, the retail media platform Microsoft acquired, and now serving Fortune 500 brands exclusively on AI discovery accuracy. He argues AEO and agentic marketing are still in their earliest innings, with today's do-everything platforms giving way to segment-specific players—data, analytics, optimization, measurement, and paid media specialists forming a new "lumascape." Sherman predicts a wave of new entrants within 12 months as the category matures past its generalist phase into genuine specialization.

Joining me today is Alex Drum and co-founder and CEO at Bluefish AI. Do you see the optimization of strictly structured data, or I mean, product feeds being one facet, maybe within a larger topic of structured data?

Do you think that that wouldn't start to emerge as a specialization, or almost like it's own discipline and focus within our industry? Usually when there's a new category, what happens in the beginning is that everybody kind of does everything. So in the early days of like, GEO, AEO, everybody was sort of an AEO platform. Time for a one minute break to hear from our sponsor, Previsible. So you're looking for SEO help, and 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 list 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. Previsible's four stage approach ensures that your SEO programs thrive by starting off with a strategy first approach. Then they support you in your efforts to create quality content, help you identify technical issues, and most importantly, they'll 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. So join brands like Yelp, eBay, Canva, Atlassian, Square, all who rely on the SEO consultants at Previsible. For more information, go to previsible.io. That's previsible, P-R-E-V-I-S-I-B-L-E.io. Everybody was basically trying to be everything to everyone. What usually happens is that doesn't work. If you solve for everyone, you solve for no one. There will be more specialization

by customer segment. Bluefish, we're committed. We only work with a Fortune 500. There's also going to be more flora and fauna in the ecosystem. You're going to see data companies. You're going to see analytics-focused companies. You're going to see optimization-focused companies, measurement-focused companies. You're going to see pay-media-focused companies. There will be an ecosystem for better forecasts. There will be another luma-scape. You're just starting to see real maturity as start to emerge in this category. I think we're still in the earliest innings of AEO and the agentech marketing. We'll see a lot of new companies in 12 months that don't exist today, and that will ultimately be a healthy thing for the category.
