Bruce Clay, the father of SEO, discusses how AI is reshaping digital marketing while SEO remains foundational.
- SEO has evolved from simple keywords to expertise, experience, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-E-A-T).
- Bruce's "siloing" method organizes content by topic to showcase subject expertise.
- Proper "link equity" distribution is crucial but often misunderstood.
- Google’s AI Overview has cut top organic click-through rates by up to 70%.
- Content that thoroughly answers questions performs best in search and AI results.
- Small businesses can compete using Google Business Profiles and local reviews while phasing in SEO.
- Bruce suggests four-week sprint planning for SEO due to constant algorithm shifts.
- Question-based searches have grown from 4% to 16% of all queries.
- Websites need technical excellence just to qualify for rankings.
