About this episode
In this episode, Eric breaks down the real SEO strategy they use for 9- and 10-figure brands: optimize beyond Google (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, YouTube, Reddit), protect visibility as AI Overviews reduce clicks, and win with content consolidation, AI Overview formatting, and multi-platform repurposing. You’ll also learn why brand sentiment and fresh updates matter more than ever, plus how programmatic SEO still works when humans stay in the loop.
Key takeaways:
-Search everywhere optimization beats Google-only SEO
-AI Overview formatting can boost mentions fast
-Consolidate, update, and delete to stay visible
