This is Part 4 of a 5-part series on my biggest business predictions for 2026.

In this episode, I’m diving into something I’m personally very excited about and actively testing:

👉 The merger of search and social.

For most of my 10 years in business, I didn’t intentionally focus on SEO or search. But that’s changing fast because platforms like Instagram are no longer just for scrolling. They’re becoming searchable, indexable, and discoverable.

And that changes everything.

In this episode, I share:

Why social platforms are becoming search engines
How Instagram content is now being indexed by Google and AI
What it means to be findable (not just visible) in 2026
How I tested search indexing and saw results in under 90 days
Why content now has a longer shelf life (even months later)
How training your Instagram algorithm gives you the playbook
Why language, topics, and tags matter more than ever
How paid, organic, and search are starting to work together

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the “post → spike → disappear” cycle of social media, this episode will completely reframe how you think about content creation moving forward.

In 2026, the goal isn’t just reach.

It’s lasting discoverability.

This is Part 4 of 5.

The final episode in this predictions series drops next — and it ties everything together.

Does this make you excited… or overwhelmed?
