The game has changed. For over a decade, marketers mastered the art of climbing Google's rankings. But with the rise of AI Overviews and conversational search, the classic "10 blue links" are fading. We're in a new era where answers are synthesized and clicks are no longer the primary goal.

How can brands survive ...and thrive... in this new landscape? Host Nick Brunker welcomes back VML's Chief Discoverability Officer, Heather Physioc, who is on the front lines guiding global brands through this evolution.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The End of an Era: What Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode mean for the future of search.
• The "Zero-Click" Threat: Why website traffic is declining and how to adapt your measurement strategy when clicks and rankings are no longer the key metrics.
• Becoming the Source: Practical steps to build authority and create content that AI engines will trust and cite.
