How to Win High-Intent Traffic in the Age of AI Search—Michael Buckbee | Ep 118

AI-powered search is transforming how people find businesses online—quickly, and for good. In this episode, I sit down with AI search expert Michael Buckbee, co-founder of Knowatoa, to break down why AI-driven tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini are changing the rules of visibility, discovery, and conversion.

We discuss why traditional SEO may no longer cut it, how to protect your brand traffic, and smart shifts every founder, SaaS owner, and marketer can make to thrive on the new search frontier. You'll learn practical frameworks, the secrets behind winning high-intent traffic, and why building online tools beats old-school content marketing in an AI-first world.
