Short answer: Yes - but it’s evolving fast.

Generative AI (like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) is changing how people search for information. Instead of clicking ten links, users now expect immediate answers. But visibility is still everything. If AI can’t find you, you don't exist.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. AI Pulls From Top Sources
AI tools scrape, summarise, and repackage content from websites they trust.If your SEO is weak, AI won't cite or surface you.
Strong SEO means:
Clear topic authority
Smart keyword use
Structured data (think schema markup)
2. Search is Shifting, Not Dying
Search engines like Google are integrating AI into search results (example: Google's Search Generative Experience). You’re no longer just ranking for clicks - you’re fighting to be the trusted source AI shows first.
What matters now:
EEAT (Expertise, Experience, Authority, Trust) content
Deep niche expertise
Consistent updates and relevance
3. Content Quality Matters More Than Volume
In the AI era, thin SEO content will die.Instead of pumping out 50 blog posts, create 5 excellent ones that:
Solve real problems
Answer real questions
Provide unique insight AI models want to pull from
4. Human Voice is Your Differentiator in a world of AI Marketing
AI can generate articles - but it can’t fake real experience, opinions, or personality.Your brand’s tone, stories, and human expertise will stand out more than ever in the next frontier of AI Marketing.
Final Word:
SEO isn’t dead - it’s more strategic. You’re optimising for humans and for AI now.
Focus on authority. Focus on quality. Focus on being unmissable.
