Description

Should you separate traditional and AI search teams? Jason Lax from SAP weighs in on this emerging organizational question facing SEO departments.

Lax compares this to the relationship between content and technical SEO, emphasizing that while resources may be divided, the teams must work in lockstep rather than as isolated units.
