Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Google getting harder for small businesses?

AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT and Google's own AI overviews are changing how people find businesses. Instead of clicking links, they get answers directly — which means traditional SEO may not be enough anymore.

How do I make my business visible in AI search results?

Focus on being the clear, authoritative answer to specific questions your customers ask. Structured content, FAQs, and strong local signals help AI tools surface your business. This episode covers the updated playbook.

Is SEO dead because of AI?

Not dead — transformed. The goal shifts from ranking for keywords to being the source AI tools cite. Michael and Frank explain what that means practically and how to adapt your content strategy.
