Tired of hearing that “SEO is dead”? Yeah, me too. The truth is, it’s not dead—it’s just getting a fresh coat of snake-oil marketing from fly-by-night companies trying to scare you into buying “AI SEO packages.” In this episode, I break down what actually matters if you want your content to show up in traditional search engines like Google and Bing and in newer AI-driven queries (think ChatGPT, Perplexity, or AI overviews).

You’ll learn:

  • Why being indexable is non-negotiable
  • The #1 reason scannability beats word count every time
  • How authority + trust signals influence what AI pulls
  • A simple framework to future-proof your content without falling for gimmicks

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your blog or business visible in the age of AI, this episode is your permission slip to chill out and stick with what works.
