In this episode of The Simple and Smart SEO Show, host Crystal Waddell welcomes Heather Physioc, Chief Discoverability Officer at VML, for a deep dive into the evolving world of search and digital strategy.
Heather shares her insights on why Google isn't the only search engine that matters, how AI is reshaping the search journey, and why content needs to serve users at every stage—from discovery to post-purchase.
From structured data to customer retention via social media, this episode is packed with practical takeaways for marketers, SEOs, and business owners.
Key Takeaways:
- SEO Isn’t Just About Google Anymore: Platforms like TikTok, Pinterest, Reddit, and in-platform AI search tools are becoming vital in the discoverability ecosystem.
- AI Should Enhance, Not Replace Creativity: Use AI to eliminate repetitive tasks and streamline workflows—not to substitute authentic human communication.
- Brand Experience Matters Across the Entire Journey: From awareness to post-purchase content, every touchpoint contributes to discoverability and trust.
- Structured Data Is Critical for E-commerce SEO: Schema and well-organized product feeds prepare brands for AI-powered commerce search.
- Jobs to Be Done Framework is More Relevant Than Ever: SEO should be rooted in solving real user problems, especially in the age of contextual, compound queries.
- Connected Data Sets = Smarter Strategy: Siloed data is a barrier. Connecting data from search, UX, customer service, and more leads to stronger insights.
Episode Highlights:
- "Google is not the only platform out there where people are engaging in search activities." – Heather Physioc
- "AI has not replaced my copywriters. It has enabled them to produce more at the same high caliber."
- "Think beyond the lower funnel. The objective is not always a conversion or a click."
- "Jobs to be done isn't just a theory—it's a way to make your brand truly useful across all channels."
Listener Action Items:
- Reevaluate Your SEO Strategy Beyond Google: Identify where your audience is searching and tailor your content accordingly.
- Use AI Thoughtfully: Let A
