E779: How well does AI content rank?

I sit down with Mike Friedman from The SEO Pub to break down what’s really working in SEO right now - from AI-generated content and brand authority signals to the underrated power of ridiculously long title tags.

We talk about: - Why AI SEO still works (and where it fails) - How brand building beats backlinks in the long run - The truth about press releases and topical authority - Why Google rewards “real” brands - even when they use AI - The strategy behind obnoxiously long titles (and why they rank)

Whether you’re a startup trying to get your first traffic, or a seasoned SEO rethinking your playbook for 2025, this conversation will challenge a lot of assumptions.

⭐️ My guest - Mike Friedman is the seasoned SEO strategist behind The SEO Pub and founder of Clicked Consulting. His SEO journey began in 2003, working on his own sites, and by 2007 he launched The SEO Pub as a no-nonsense source for practical, actionable SEO tactics, guiding everyone from local mom-and-pop shops to enterprise marketing teams with clear, jargon-free advice. Since then, he’s grown Clicked Consulting into a trusted SEO consultancy, helping businesses across industries, from SaaS and e-commerce to healthcare and manufacturing, achieve record growth with simplified, data-driven SEO strategies.
