The Big AI Visibility Lie No One’s Talking About
Manage episode 515546453 series 3561734
E842: Everyone’s talking about “AI visibility,” but almost no one is asking the right questions.
Is it actually real - or just another marketing buzzword sold by agencies and tools that need a new story to tell?
We uncover The Big AI Visibility Lie with former Telegraph Head of SEO James Carson, who’s worked with some of the biggest publishers in the world.
We unravel: - Why “AI visibility” and “GEO” are mostly hype (and who’s selling it) - The truth about ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews traffic - How execs are falling for AI hype - and what consultants should really tell their clients - Why SEO fundamentals still matter more than ever - How YouTube is quietly becoming the new SEO advantage - The coming shift toward agentic browsers and what it really means for marketers
If you’ve been told your business needs “AI visibility,” watch this before you waste your budget.
