LLMs have changed how search works, but have they changed SEO so much that it has become something else entirely?

GEO is quickly becoming a common term in search conversations. Some teams are embracing it. Others see it as SEO under a different name. In this session, we take a step back and look at what is actually changing and why this debate matters.

Our panel will explore how SEO has evolved in the age of LLMs, whether GEO represents a real shift in strategy, and how teams and clients are responding. The goal is clarity. Not hype. Not rebranding. Just an honest discussion about where search is headed and how to think about optimization moving forward.

SEO or GEO. Which One Is It?

GenAI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini aren’t just summarizing the web — they’re selecting which brands to recommend.
In this new era of AI-powered search, your brand is either present in the answer… or completely absent.
The Search Shift Webinar Series guides you through how search is evolving across engines and AI models that read, cluster, and recommend content in fundamentally new ways.
This fourth session shows how topical depth, content structure, and semantic authority determine whether your brand is cited, surfaced, or ignored by GenAI systems.
 We’ll reveal the technical and content signals that make brands “trusted entities” — and how you can build a depth advantage that AI engines can’t ignore.

How Depth Wins: Structuring Your Brand to Be Chosen by AI

We’re entering a new era of search: an expanding universe across search engines and AI models that understand, summarize, and recommend.

The Search Shift Webinar Series takes you through this transformation at every step. From understanding how AI is changing discovery, to mastering measurement across generative platforms, and unlocking a strategy that reaches customers—however they search.

This third session focuses on the new technical foundations needed for AI-powered visibility. As search expands beyond Google, platforms like OpenAI, Perplexity, and Gemini interpret websites differently—they don’t execute JavaScript, struggle with dynamic rendering, and often miss content that isn’t structured cleanly.
You’ll learn what it takes to make your site machine-readable for both search engines and AI crawlers—and why rendering, crawlability, and performance now impact AI discoverability just as much as rankings.

Technical SEO for AI: Making Your Site Machine-Readable

We’re in a new phase of search. People aren’t just typing keywords into Google anymore—they’re asking questions in chatbots, AI assistants, and search engines that now understand, summarize, and recommend.

The Search Shift Webinar Series is here to help you keep up with that change step by step—from how AI is reshaping discovery, to how you track results across all these new generative platforms, to building a strategy that reaches customers wherever they choose to search.

In this second session, we’ll look at how leading brands are adapting to both classic search intent and new prompt intent to win more AI visibility. You’ll see how LLMs read and interpret natural language, how to group prompts with the same discipline you use for keywords, and how to update your search strategy for an AI-first world. You’ll leave with concrete frameworks and tactics you can start using right away.

From Keywords to Prompts: Redefining Search Intent in the AI Era

Everyone’s talking about zero-click—but what happens to your growth when traffic stops being the main goal?

In this session, we’ll break down the changes in discovery and what it takes to stay visible in 2026.
