AI isn't coming. It's already here. If you're not adapting, you're falling behind. In this explosive episode of Marketing Misfits, Neil Patel breaks down exactly how AI is changing everything for Amazon sellers, marketers, and brands in 2025.

We cover why search everywhere optimization (not just SEO on Google) is now mandatory, how to future-proof your content strategy, and what sellers must do to stay visible on platforms like Amazon, Instagram, ChatGPT, and YouTube.

👉 If you're relying on outdated SEO tactics or ignoring how AI is reshaping customer journeys, this episode is your wake-up call.
