Summary:

AI search is eating into Google and if your business isn't showing up inside ChatGPT, Claude, or Google's AI Overviews, you're already behind. In this video I go through what Ahrefs found across 1 billion data points and 14 studies: which content formats actually get cited by AI, why schema markup does essentially nothing, and why YouTube turns out to be the single strongest signal for AI brand visibility. Yes, really.

Practical stuff only. Blog listicles, homepage rewrites, reviews, directories, podcasts, and a YouTube strategy most businesses are completely sleeping on. Nobody's even agreed on a name for this yet (GEO? AEO? LLM SEO?) but the playbook is simpler than you'd think.
