Only three episodes left for 2025, and as we head toward the end of the year, Sam and Roop chat about something that may at first seem like a major problem (but is really just another opportunity to get your content in front of your customers) ... zero-click search.
What is it? Zero-click is when someone searches on Google (or another engine) and gets what they need right on the results page (shopping results, sports scores, answers to their question, etc.), so they don’t click through to any websites. Around 60% of all searches result in zero-click as of today, with that number as high as 77% on mobile. And as AI continues to embed itself in search culture, that number will likely only grow.
Bad news, right? Nope! Listen in as the gang covers this shifting behavior in search and how your website and its content are actually more important than ever.
And next week: Trent Guyer is back for Trent-a-palooza!
See you soon.
—Sam, Roop, Claudia and Chelsea

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
