🎥 The Search Landscape is Changing—Are You Ready? As we near the end of 2024, search has shifted FAST. Video content isn’t just important—it’s essential. Platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Bing, and SearchGPT are reshaping how brands can stand out and grab attention. But here’s the challenge: integrating it all—SEO, social, and conversational search—can feel overwhelming. That’s where real growth happens. By tapping into TikTok trends, Shorts, and Reddit, we can turn social insights into smarter growth strategies. Social shapes search, search fine-tunes social—it’s a two-way street. This may be inherently conversational in both directions. ROCKY IV’s valuable insights on conversational query inform social content, while social media interactions provide real-time feedback to shape our SEO focus. 📈 Now’s the time to go beyond SEO. Integrate socials, amplify visibility, and drive engagement. Want to talk strategy? Drop your thoughts in the comments or reach out—let’s grow together! 💬 Jay Thandi James Congdon Cien S.

SHOTS FIRED: ChatGPT is now promoting to users to download it's Chrome extension to "Use ChatGPT for every search" They're actively asking Chrome users to switch their default search engine to ChatGPT (and doing it inside Chrome, what a Trojan Horse approach to gaining market share). I think it's safe to say the #searchwars have begun. #seonews #ainews #chaptgpt #google #aisearch #googlemarketshare FYI: Roger Montti Barry Schwartz Search Engine Land Search Engine Journal

Today’s video is a bit longer on what AI means for the future of search, especially as we look toward 2025. Have you planned your strategy just yet? ⏲ The big question is: how do we help the broader community leverage these powerful new AI tools? Right now, most people don’t have this knowledge. 🤖 We’re still in the experimental phase, and while innovation is happening fast, it hasn’t yet reached the average user in a practical, everyday way. For mass adoption, I predict that all future OS installations (on PCs, Macs, iPhones, Androids, etc.) will eventually ask users, “What AI model do you want to use for your internet search? Which browser and search engine?” Maybe even a combination of all three. Just like it took years for Microsoft to present browser choices, this shift is coming too. That’s where we, as tech-savvy people, innovators, and early adopters, come in. We have a fundamental role in educating others about both the positives and the negatives of AI. Take something like planning a trip on a budget—AI can provide a detailed travel plan far faster than traditional search engines. Instead of spending an hour sifting through pages of results with ads, you’d be ready to go in minutes. You want to enjoy the experience, not spend hours planning it! Early adopters and tech-savvy folks can make a huge difference by guiding family members, clients, customers, friends, and colleagues—just like we did when we all moved from Nokia phones to explaining how to use a smartphone (does Gen-Z even know what a Nokia is? But I digress!) or an USB stick. Gosh mentioning 3.5 floppys make me feel old. As AI like SearchGPT/Claude/Perplexity/Llama etc becomes mainstream, it’s clear that conversational and experience-based search is a game-changer. For anything where you need specific answers and common sense—like finding a unique product or planning a budget trip—the new tools do the hard work for you. No more sifting through irrelevant Google links or endless ads. By making AI easier to use, we’re creating a cleaner, more efficient internet experience that empowers everyone, from tech enthusiasts to “Grandma.” It’s about helping people find what they need faster and with less hassle. Thanks for watching and being part of this journey. Cien S.

👋 Hot Topic! Conversational and experience-led searches are changing the landscape. Content needs to address in-depth questions to engage today's audience. Leveraging AI-driven solutions is key (and no, this isn't about just using ChatGPT to write articles). Whether you're Ferrari customizing cars or a boutique hotel in Earl's Court, this shift impacts you. Metrics like engagement, branded search, and conversions matter more than just traffic. Wil Reynolds wrote about it (linked down below as well). Looking ahead to 2025, it's crucial to focus on new search behaviors and create experiences that meet your audience's specific needs. CEOs of Series-A funded companies without a growth team, it's time to think strategically. Show how your product solves real-world problems.

Recruiting is Still Broken in 2024 It’s no secret that finding a new job is challenging for job seekers. But beyond that, we’re still facing communication issues between recruiters and candidates. My thoughts? It all comes down to one key tip: transparency. 🗣️ Be upfront and honest. If a candidate asks about the hiring process, provide clear information. If there are other candidates in the mix, don’t keep them in the dark. Effective communication and honesty are crucial. Let’s make the recruiting experience better for everyone involved by being transparent and maintaining open dialogue. If you need to audit your process, drop me a note. #Leadership #TalentAcquisition #HRStrategy #Recruitment #HiringProcess #CareerDevelopment #ManagementTips #TransparencyMatters #JobMarket #WorkplaceCulture #HR

If you're managing a #remote team, have you considered your team's "energy levels"? It's a topic i don't see discussed very often.
