AI is turning online marketing on its head. Customers are starting to search differently: less Googling, more asking ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews for recommendations and answers.

In this episode of the Marketing Minute Podcast, host Peter DeWit sits down with EDGE’s SEO expert Haytham Mahir to break down what’s happening and what small businesses should do next.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • What AI Optimization (AIO) really means
  • Why you shouldn’t throw out SEO
  • The #1 way to improve AI visibility

AI search is growing fast, but you don’t need to panic. You need the right foundation, and a few smart updates that help AI understand (and recommend) your business.
