AI Is Rewriting Search: From Google to AI Overviews—What Entrepreneurs Must Do Now with Michael Buckbee


Listen Later

AI is changing how people find and trust information. In this AI Biz episode, Michael Buckbee breaks down what AI-driven search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google’s AI Overviews/AI Mode) means for entrepreneurs, marketers, and small businesses—right now. We cover traffic “evaporation,” how brand perception is formed inside AI systems, why many sites unknowingly block AI indexers, and the practical steps to show up correctly when buyers ask AI about you. Clear, tactical, and focused on outcomes, this episode shows you how to adapt content, compliance signals (HIPAA/GDPR), distribution, and site settings so your brand isn’t erased—or misrepresented—by AI.

 

About the Guest :

Michael Buckbee has spent ~20 years at the intersection of marketing and technology, working with everyone from the U.S. Navy to YC startups and Fortune 100 brands. He is the co-founder of Knowatoa (pronounced “Noah Toa”), a service that tracks how brands appear—or disappear—inside AI-powered search engines. He created the Biscuit Framework to help teams align classic SEO with AI search realities.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • AI search is here now: Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode, plus ChatGPT/Perplexity, are shifting discovery from “10 blue links” to summarized, task-based answers—reducing low-intent traffic and forcing strategy changes.

  • Content must move down-funnel: Stop chasing high-volume, low-intent articles. Prioritize high-intent, decision-level queries (comparisons, “best for X,” compliance readiness, integrations, pricing clarity).

  • Fix brand perception in AI: AIs synthesize reviews, news, and your own site to form judgments. If your positioning and proof aren’t explicit, AI may exclude or mischaracterize you.

  • Publish compliance and facts clearly: State HIPAA/GDPR status, security, features, and buyer-critical criteria on public pages—so models can cite and include you.

  • Unblock AI indexers: Many sites inadvertently block AI crawlers via firewalls/CDNs/plugins. Audit and allow reputable AI bots that power surfacing in assistants and overviews.

  • Distribute for AI ingestion: Ensure structured, up-to-date pages; use concise copy, FAQs, and entity-rich descriptions that models can parse and quote.

  • Measure what matters: Expect less “informational” traffic; track assisted conversions from AI mentions and optimize content to win comparison/recommendation prompts.

  • Start with an audit: Ask AI tools what your company does, who your competitors are, and why you’re recommended (or not). Close gaps using the Biscuit Framework.
