What does it take for brands to stay visible and trusted in a search landscape increasingly shaped by AI, ads, and fragmented user behavior?
In this episode of The Search Session, Gianluca Fiorelli sits down with Laura I. Abreu, an SEO and PPC specialist originally from Spain who focuses on lead generation and revenue growth. Together, they explore why modern marketing success relies less on purely technical tactics and more on authentic human connection, smart channel selection, and strong brand reputation.
Their conversation dives into the difficulty of measuring AI-driven visibility, the impact of Google’s evolving ad formats on traffic quality, and how businesses should choose the right platforms based on audience behavior and profitability.

The episode also examines how brands can build a distinctive voice, avoid the pitfalls of overusing AI in content, and protect their online reputation in a world where AI models can surface old or negative information. It’s a practical discussion about what SEO, PPC, and brand strategy look like when authenticity and trust matter more than ever.
Enjoy the conversation and discover why the future of search may depend as much on human connection as on algorithms.
