Intro

E812: Nico Gorroño from AI Ranking joins the podcast to show how to use AI automations for SEO.

We cover everything from exact prompts, to scaling AI content safely, to the surprising power of mobile video in search rankings, and why tribalism still runs rampant in the SEO community.

Nico shares how he builds hundreds of transactional pages with AI, the right (and wrong) way to scale content, and what tools can give you a serious edge. We also get into backlinks, EEAT, parasite SEO, and why greed and velocity are the biggest mistakes people make.

Whether you’re an SEO pro or just starting to explore AI-driven strategies, this episode will give you both practical tactics and a big-picture look at where search is headed next.

Topics we cover: - Why SEO advice often works in one niche but not another - The rise of short-form video in Google search results - How to scale from 10 to 1,400 pages without penalties - Automations that generate pages, content, and images at scale - Why EEAT and topical authority matter more than ever - Link building strategies that actually work in 2025 - The dangers of shiny object syndrome in AI + SEO
