ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews (amongst others) now surface answers to millions of queries every day. The brands that appear in those answers got there the same way they got to the top of organic results - through technical authority, structured content and genuine topical depth.
What’s different is how AI systems process and attribute information. Rather than ranking and listing individual pages, they synthesise insights from multiple sources and cite them directly.
The core SEO discipline remains the same, but it has evolved. Topic clarity, content structure and citation signals are now even more important. We work across both traditional SEO and AI search because they're not separable.
