I think if they weren't already seeing a significant traffic drop as a result of people moving over to these AI tools, they wouldn't even be testing this type of thing."If you're ready to implement Generative Engine Optimisation strategies while your competitors remain unaware of these fundamental changes, this episode provides your complete action plan for adapting to this latest evolution in search.Request a Marketing Review:https://exposureninja.com/review/Get the show notes:https://exposureninja.com/podcast/350/Watch this on YouTube instead:https://exposure.ninja/ai-modeListen to these episodes next:How To Rank in ChatGPThttps://exposureninja.com/podcast/348/How SEO Works in 2025https://exposureninja.com/podcast/346/How to Get To the Top of Google in 2025https://exposureninja.com/podcast/345/
