What does it take to get AI to notice your content? Scrunch AI’s Chris Andrew shares the secret sauce.

On this episode of The Media Copilot, Pete Pachal welcomes Chris Andrew, CEO of Scrunch AI, to unravel the mysteries of AI-driven search. As AI platforms increasingly summarize news without driving traffic back to publishers, the game of visibility is changing. Chris explains how Scrunch AI is helping content creators understand and optimize for "AI SEO," a new frontier that goes beyond traditional search algorithms.

Pete and Chris dive deep into the emerging concept of "SEO for Chatbots"—why AI-generated summaries are redefining content discovery, and how publishers can adapt to avoid getting buried in the noise. They also explore the uncomfortable truth: AI summaries are designed to be self-contained, reducing the need for users to click through to the original source.

If you’re a media executive, content strategist, or just curious about the shifting landscape of digital publishing, this conversation is packed with practical insights and bold predictions.

This episode covers:

🔹 AI SEO: What it is and why it's the next content battleground

🔹 The Clickless Future: How AI summaries are shifting audience behavior

🔹 Publisher Panic: Why media outlets are scrambling to adapt

🔹 AI’s Surface Area Problem: Fewer sources, fewer clicks, and what that means
