The Old Game: Ranking for Keywords
For years, traditional SEO worked this way:
You picked keywords your customers searched for (“best plumber in Atlanta”), packed them into your website and blog posts, and hoped Google would push you to page one.
You built backlinks (getting other websites to link to you).
You kept an eye on meta tags, URLs, and site speed.
The New Game: Understanding What People Really Want
Today, search engines—led by Google, and now joined by platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity—have learned to “think” more like people do. Instead of matching strings of words, they interpret questions, context, and intent. This means:
AI platforms process search queries more like conversations (“Who can fix my furnace fast and cheap near me?”).
They summarize answers from multiple sources, often without the user needing to click your link.
Google’s AI Overview gives people direct answers, often drawn from high-quality blogs and websites, at the very top of the search results.
In 2025, over 13% of Google searches trigger an AI Overview, and this number is doubling every few months. Informational and hyper-local content—especially presented as clear answers—gets prime real estate in these AI-generated summaries.
