SEO for GAI

Thumbnail image of the cover of my Technical SEO for AI presentation PDFIn a world that is rapidly transforming, where General Artificial Intelligence is being used to provide answers to real-world questions people have, and where that new channel is infiltrating organic search, it’s vital to understand that the work we do in positioning web sites for search engine visibility, is directly impacted.

Either we learn how to adapt, or those we serve will suffer.

To that end, I have created a PowerPoint presentation on the current state of GAI and how to ensure technical optimization for this new world.

As a professional, specializing in strategic SEO audits as well as topical gap audits & related consulting, I have found common threads across technical SEO and how LLMs discover, process & evaluate content. There are also differences that are equally important to understand.

While the concepts in the deck are helpful in themselves, understanding what’s required goes far beyond what can be presented in a slide deck.

If you would like to ensure your work in SEO, or the people who provide SEO services for your business are adapting properly, for maximum visibility, contact me and I’ll be happy to discuss your unique situation and how I may be able to help.
