In this episode, Mike explains how AI can analyze competitor pages, revealing where they’re excelling and where your content has room to improve. This approach takes the guesswork out of SEO by showing you precisely what’s working in your industry and how you can adapt. He highlights that this use of AI makes SEO faster and less daunting, allowing brands to make data-driven decisions on content updates without wasting time.
