EDGE of the Web - The Best SEO Podcast for Today's Digital Marketer21 Huhti 2025

756 | AI/SEO News from the EDGE | Week of 4.21.2025

Advertisers are bailing on TikTok as another U.S. ban looms, shifting dollars to Meta while creators scatter to backup platforms. Meanwhile, Google credits Gemini for nuking 240 million spammy reviews and business edits, but don't expect them to help you get your real reviews back.

Big legal moves are underway: The NYT lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft will proceed, and Chegg is suing Google for killing traffic via AI Overviews. Sara Taher joins the show to unpack the long-term consequences of AI scraping and shrinking search real estate.

We also dive into new AI traffic data showing LLMs are sending visits, barely, and why Google suddenly loves YouTube again. If you're not aligning schema, content, and branding now, you'll be shouting into the algorithm void.
