They delve into the rise of AI-generated content and its potential to hijack clicks and divert high-value traffic. While Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) aims to provide context and citations, they debate whether unsophisticated buyers will actively seek out the original source. Neil Patel shares examples of how Google continually drives more clicks to websites but acknowledges the potential impact of AI on website traffic. Tune in to delve into the intricate relationship between AI, SEO, and website traffic.
