From The Vault: How to Stay Visible in the AI Search Era<\/a> written by John Jantsch<\/a> read more at Duct Tape Marketing<\/a><\/p>\n Listen to the full episode:<\/em>\n<\/p>\n Back from the vault! In this rerun of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, I revisit a solo episode where I\u2014John Jantsch\u2014explore a topic that continues to reshape the foundation of online marketing: search visibility<\/strong> in an era dominated by AI search, zero-click results, and evolving Google behaviors.<\/p>\n Search engine optimization (SEO) has always been about rankings, but today that\u2019s no longer enough. In this episode, I explain why the focus has shifted to search visibility<\/em>\u2014your brand\u2019s presence across the entire digital ecosystem. From featured snippets and branded SERPs to Google Business profiles and authoritative content that aligns with E-E-A-T principles, visibility is about showing up where people actually find answers.<\/p>\n As AI overviews increasingly deliver information without clicks, your strategy must evolve beyond chasing keywords.<\/p>\n SEO is now about search visibility<\/strong>, not just rankings. Brands need to show up in multiple answer-delivery formats.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n AI search and zero-click results mean most users get what they need without leaving Google, so multi-platform visibility is essential.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Google is now an answer engine<\/em>. Structure your content to provide direct, trusted answers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) signals matter more than ever.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Use structured content like FAQs, TL;DR summaries, and hub pages to boost your chances of surfacing in AI answers and snippets.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Local SEO still drives results. Treat your Google Business Profile as a publishing platform.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Refreshing older content improves freshness signals and knowledge graph visibility.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Prioritize quality, experience-driven stories, and unique insights over generic AI-generated content.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Don\u2019t chase head terms. Focus instead on long-tail queries and intent-driven content formats.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Manage projects, chat, and files in one place\u2014simple to use and scalable as you grow.<\/p>\n
