On today’s show:
Google has rolled out Gemini 3 Flash, and it’s now powering AI Mode in Search globally. While much of the coverage frames this as a performance upgrade, this update signals something more meaningful: a shift in how users interact with Search itself.
In this episode:
- Why this update is more than a performance upgrade — and how speed changes search behavior
- How faster, more confident AI answers keep users inside Search longer
- What Google means by “PhD-level reasoning” and why it builds a deeper trust layer
- How conversational follow-ups are reshaping discovery and decision-making
- Why brands that don’t appear inside AI answers risk becoming invisible at critical moments
- How this update reinforces the FSA Framework (Freshness, Structure, Authority)
- Why marketers should use AI Mode first and observe recommendations before auditing content
