What does it take to future-proof your marketing strategy as Google evolves, AI reshapes search, and zero-click searches rise?
In this episode of The Marketing Share, hosts Alec Cheung and Barb VanSomeren chat with Corey Morris—CEO of Voltage Agency and **author of The Digital Marketing Success Plan—to unpack SEO’s evolution, zero-click searches, and Google’s volatile AI updates.
