📌 Podcast Notes

SEO is no longer about keywords and backlinks alone—today, it's about trust, authority, and intent.

In this episode of PROFIT With A Plan, Steven Schneider, CEO of TrioSEO, unpacks why the old-school SEO playbook is officially dead—and what B2B brands need to do today to actually rank, convert, and stay visible across both search engines and AI platforms like ChatGPT.

If your traffic has dropped or your content just isn’t converting, this is your SEO wake-up call.

🔥 Episode Promise

Steven built a 7-figure content portfolio without a single paid ad. Now, as the founder of a hands-off SEO agency for B2B brands, he's revealing the modern playbook that drives real ROI, boosts authority, and prepares your site for the AI-powered future of search.
