This question has been hanging around for years, with every new development in search, and the answer remains the same, SEO is still an extremely valuable business investment.
SEO is changing. It always is, and always will be. Right now we’re at a key turning point with AI. AI is coming up at the top of search results, users are using LLM’s (AI) in part with search engines like Google.
A core goal of SEO is getting your business in front of your target audience, and convincing them to trust you, and convert.
With AI, creating helpful content and encouraging trust (key SEO strategies), is important. Many people are using AI as a shortcut, creating massive amounts of content with no human input for short wins, that don’t last.
Experienced SEOs are on top of AI trends, and can put your website in the best position possible to get in front of customers. They leverage AI, but don’t rely on it, and still seek long-term wins. There has never been a better time to invest in SEO.
