Why Traditional SEO Is Dead—and What’s Replacing It

The world of SEO has been undergoing a seismic shift. Over the past two years or so, changes in search behavior and technology have shaken the very foundation of the industry, forcing businesses to adapt or risk falling behind. If you’ve been wondering what these changes mean for your SEO strategy, this is the time to tune in.

On Tuesday, December 17th, at 10 am PST, Boulder SEO Marketing COO Daniel Burns and I will present a free, hour-long webinar (hosted by Duda ) on scaling SEO services in the face of these dramatic changes. Whether you run an SEO agency, manage SEO for your business, or are simply curious about the intersection of AI and search, you’ll gain actionable insights and tools to thrive in this new landscape.

Massive Shifts in Search: What’s Happening?

For years, Google has been the dominant force in online search. But recent developments are reshaping this landscape in ways few could have predicted. Here’s what you need to know:

• The Rise of Large Language Models (LLMs): Platforms like ChatGPT are becoming go-to sources for information, offering conversational answers that feel personalized. These models have captured a significant share of users who previously relied on traditional search engines.
• Google’s Shrinking Market Share: As people turn to AI-driven tools, Google faces increased competition from platforms like OpenAI, TikTok (for localized or younger audiences), and even Amazon (as a product search engine). Ranking solely on Google is no longer enough.
• Evolving Search Intent: Users seek deeper, contextually rich answers—often bypassing search engines entirely. This shift calls for a fundamental rethinking of content creation, optimization, and distribution.

These changes aren’t a threat—they’re an opportunity to evolve and innovate. That’s exactly what we’ll be diving into during the webinar. We’ll cover three key areas to help you stay ahead:

• Why SEO as you know it is dead—and what’s replacing it.
• How to rank on emerging platforms like ChatGPT.
• Proven strategies to drive results, supported by real-world data.
