Will websites still matter in five years? And is traditional SEO enough when customers are increasingly turning to ChatGPT, Claude and AI-powered search for answers and recommendations?
In this episode of The Content Mavericks, Jay from Twofresh and Jack from Social Advantage are joined by SEO and GEO consultant Jessica Redman, co-founder of Didgeheads, to explore how AI is transforming search, content marketing and the way businesses get discovered online.
Jess explains the differences between SEO, GEO and AEO, why ranking highly on Google doesn't necessarily mean you'll appear in AI-generated answers, and why social media, YouTube, reviews, PR and third-party mentions are becoming increasingly important parts of your digital footprint.
She also shares how one authentic LinkedIn post changed her career, generating enough inbound business to leave her job and build a £10K-per-month business.
The conversation then turns to AI-generated content, authenticity and the rise of “AI slop” — before Jess makes her biggest prediction of the episode: websites could be a dying format.
