I had an awesome time joining the Affluencer Podcast to talk about one of the biggest questions everyone keeps asking me: Are Google’s new AI updates killing small-business SEO… or opening the biggest opportunity we’ve ever seen? 👀
In this episode, I break down exactly what’s actually working right now — even with AI Overviews, featured snippets, and Google crowding the top of the page with ads. I share how I’m blending SEO + paid ads for faster traction, how I build backlinks that truly move rankings, and what the future of SEO with AI really looks like from my front-row seat in the industry.
We also dig into remarketing tricks, keyword research strategies I rely on, and why SEO today is more of a “test-and-adapt” game than ever before. If you’re running a small business, starting something new, or just trying to make sense of what Google is doing… this episode will save you months of guesswork. 🚀
Had a blast recording this one — hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
