What does SEO really look like in a world shaped by AI, fragmented search, and constantly evolving user behavior?

In this episode of The Search Session, Gianluca Fiorelli is joined by Andy Chadwick, who describes his work as “driving brand visibility across every search platform.” Andy shares a sharp, forward-thinking take on the future of search, exploring ideas like ambient visibility—the need to show up everywhere your audience is searching, not just on Google. 

He explains why cutting top-of-funnel content is a mistake, how topical authority is built through breadth, depth, and recognition, and why keywords are still the building blocks of content strategy. 

From content fragmentation strategies that can outpace big players to his concept of “3D search intent,” this conversation is packed with insights that challenge old assumptions and reveal what it really takes to stay visible in today’s search landscape.
