735 | EDGE Tool Series: AlsoAsked w/ Mark William-Cook

Mark Williams-Cook is back on the EDGE, diving into the shifting landscape of search engines and SEO, where generative AI tools like Search GPT and ChatGPT are trying to steal the spotlight. But let's be real—people still turn to Google for a reality check, like that friend who promises to help you move but never shows up.

Mark reveals how Google's financial motivations drive AI advancements, introducing ads that are more integrated than your Aunt's fruitcake recipe. He also highlights the constant algorithm updates that keep SEO pros on their toes—like dodging cake slices at a wedding!

Emphasizing the need for expert-level content that's as genuine as grandma's advice, Mark advocates for aligning SEO strategies with broader business goals. He champions brand strength and reputation, recommending tools like 'Also Asked' to help marketers navigate this ever-changing landscape. So get ready—SEO is now about making your brand shine brighter than a disco ball!
