The SEO game is changing, and it’s changing fast.
With AI-driven search engines like ChatGPT, Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE), and voice search gaining traction, traditional keyword stuffing and text-heavy content just aren’t cutting it anymore. Businesses and agencies that fail to adapt are losing visibility, while those leveraging high-quality video content are skyrocketing in search rankings, engagement, and conversions.
If you want your brand to thrive in this new digital landscape, video isn’t optional. It’s essential.
AI is Reshaping Search. Are You Keeping Up?
Gone are the days when ranking on Google was as simple as cramming your blog with keywords and backlinks. AI-driven search engines are prioritising user experience, engagement, and rich media, meaning businesses need to rethink their content strategies.
Here’s what’s changing:
✅ AI Summarisation is Cannibalising Clicks – Users are getting direct answers without even clicking on links. Your blog might be informative, but if it’s not engaging, it won’t drive traffic.
✅ Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) Prioritizes Rich Media – Video content is being pushed above traditional text-based results. If you don’t have video, you’re missing out.
✅ Short-Form Content is the New King – TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are now major discovery engines, competing directly with Google.
The bottom line? If you want to dominate search, you need to show up with video.
