Leveraging Reviews for Local SEO

E876: Gemini 3 just changed the game.

Edward and Gagan Ghotra break down how Google's new Gemini 3 model is fundamentally transforming SEO, AI search behavior, and buyer journeys.

From massive query fan-outs (12–15 deep) to dynamic AI-generated search interfaces, product listings inside Gemini, AI-driven image creation grounded in live Google data, and the potential death of schema as we know it - this is a must-listen for any marketer, founder, or SEO professional.

Biggest takeaway: In 2026 and beyond, brands that deluge the internet with accurate, long-term, strategically-written content about themselves will win. SEO copywriters - not AI alone - will be more critical than ever.
