Search is changing—and your brand needs to catch up.

Consumers are no longer relying solely on Google. A new Harvard Business Review study reveals a dramatic shift: people are now turning to generative AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini for recommendations, planning, and purchases.

In this episode, I unpack why SEO is no longer enough, and what brands must do to stay relevant in the AI era.

You’ll learn:

  • Why over half of consumers now prefer AI tools over traditional search
  • The rise of Share of Model (SOM)—a new visibility metric for brands in AI results
  • What the “Cyborgs,” “AI Pioneers,” and “High-Street Heroes” of the LLM era look like
  • How to teach AI models what your brand does, why it matters, and when to recommend it
