How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing some simple but powerful steps to take advantage of changes in search engine optimization.
Stay Updated:
First, always keep your ear to the ground about changes with openAI and SearchGPT. Join free webinars, like the one on September 10th, at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, to understand new trends and strategies. Staying updated will keep you ahead of the curve.
Diversify Your Traffic Sources:
Relying solely on Google for traffic might get risky. Spread out your efforts by also using social media, email marketing, and content platforms like Medium or LinkedIn. This way, even if one source dips, others will keep your traffic steady.
Optimize Your Content:
Since people will still look for info online, make sure your content is findable. Use up-to-date SEO tactics, but also think about how AI might present your content. Include clear headings and well-organized, easy-to-read information.
Engage With AI Platforms:
Experiment with platforms integrated with ChatGPT. For example, try having your info pulled into AI-driven chat answers. Creating engaging and factual content could help you get mentioned by AI systems and get more visibility.
Be User-Centric:
Make sure your content really helps your users. Focus on solving problems and answering questions clearly and concisely. This user-centered approach will naturally align your content with what search engines and AI look for.
Monitor Analytics:
Keep an eye on your website and content performance. Tools like Google Analytics can help you see what's working and what's not. Adjust your strategies based on what you find to continually improve your reach and effectiveness.
These steps don’t need a lot of money or time but can bring high value, helping you navigate and thrive in the changing search landscape.
