In this episode of SEO Unfiltered, we revisit one of SEO’s most fundamental tasks—keyword research—and explore how it’s evolving under the rise of GEO.
Host Genny cuts through the noise of “SEO is dead” hype to show how you can adapt traditional keyword strategies for AI-driven search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini—without abandoning what already works.
If you’ve been wondering how to align your SEO workflows with emerging AI-driven search behaviour, this one’s for you.
