The queries that used to drive blog traffic are being answered directly by LLMs and AI Overviews→ Mid funnel is where SEO wins.

Former SEO lead at SurveyMonkey, he now advises brands on building sustainable search strategies. In this episode, he makes the contrarian case: AI is not killing SEO, it's reshaping the funnel. The top of funnel now belongs to LLMs. But mid and bottom funnel remain the territory of traditional SEO and that's where the real battle is for most companies. We also get into what's overrated: technical SEO, link building, and the obsession with GEO as a separate investment. And what's missing in most organizations: SEO embedded inside product teams, not marketing. What we explore in this episode: - What Product-Led SEO really means and why classic tactics fall short - Why AI is taking over top of funnel and what that means for your strategy - Why technical SEO and link building are overrated - Why GEO is not a separate investment from SEO - Why SEO belongs inside product teamsWHERE TO FIND ELI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schwartze/ BOOK "PRODUCT-LED SEO": https://a.co/d/04cqmiRNWHERE TO FIND JORDAN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanchenevier/WORK WITH BULLDOZER: https://bulldozer-collective.com/-- WHAT IS BULLDOZER?
