Voices of Search // A Search Engine Optimization (SEO) & Content Marketing Podcast

Sessions and visits mislead teams as AI absorbs informational search intent. Jason Lax, senior SEO and AI expert at SAP with nearly two decades of search experience now leading AEO and GEO strategy, breaks down why declining traffic volume can mask rising engagement quality. He details how to layer conversion data and engagement dimensions alongside session counts to distinguish true visibility loss from a healthier, higher-intent traffic mix, and outlines the metric framework enterprise teams need as AI reshapes the top of the funnel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Marketers routinely misjudge which AI platforms their actual audience uses. Jason Lax, senior SEO and AI expert at SAP with nearly two decades in search now leading AEO and GEO strategy, argues platform prioritization should never be assumption-driven. He outlines a cross-platform measurement framework that tracks performance across every AI search surface rather than defaulting to personal usage patterns, paired with audience-segmented analysis that accounts for enterprise tool restrictions and generational usage splits to reveal true visibility gaps.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

76% of marketers still treat AI search as a separate content channel. Jason Lax, senior SEO and AI expert at SAP, argues this misconception is costing enterprise teams their competitive edge as he transitions his nearly two-decade SEO practice into AEO and GEO. He reframes the core measurement shift from ranking position to mention-worthiness, applying the same foundational SEO fundamentals rather than building parallel content strategies for AI-driven search surfaces. The discussion centers on unifying content strategy across traditional and AI search rather than fragmenting resources across separate channels.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rankings no longer predict whether buyers choose your brand. Jason Lax, senior SEO and AI expert at SAP, has spent nearly two decades building the company's global organic program and now leads its shift into AEO and GEO across dozens of markets. He details SAP's technical-plus-content split strategy, using LLM citation gaps and "why weren't we recommended" prompt audits to surface product and positioning issues, and reframes measurement around model consensus and citation quality rather than session volume alone.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Google's shift toward "agentic everything" will redefine how search assistants act on users' behalf. Tasia Custode, founder and CEO of Brio Media, breaks down her post-Google I/O predictions on where agentic search is headed next. She outlines how agentic search is already surfacing in Gemini, Chrome, and core Search functionality, and explains the evolution from static AI Overviews to assistants that complete tasks autonomously across devices. The conversation covers the shift from software-based agentic features to product-level integration across smart devices, speakers, and phones as the next frontier for search strategy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

AI-generated video content is evolving beyond short, generic clips. Tasia Custode of Brio Media examines the trajectory of multimodal AI video generation as tools like Google Flow mature. The discussion centers on the shift from disjointed 8-second AI clips toward storyboarded, structured scenes with narrative continuity. Custode identifies character consistency and scene continuity as the key technical thresholds separating experimental AI video output from production-ready content.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Creator consistency separates thriving channels from abandoned ones. Tasia Custode, founder and CEO of Brio Media, breaks down why sustainable content strategy starts with genuine passion rather than prescribed niches. She unpacks the discipline required to sustain publishing consistency over time and explains why authentic, interest-driven topic selection outperforms formulaic channel planning.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The transcript provided only contains the opening icebreaker exchange (Jordan asking about a discontinued Google product, Tasia answering "Google Reader") — it cuts off before any actual SEO discussion begins. There's no content here about challenges, strategies, frameworks, or results tied to Tasia's work at Brio Media.Since the instructions explicitly say not to assume what the conversation was about, I can't responsibly fabricate the "data-driven challenge," "proven results," or "frameworks/strategies discussed" the task requires — none of that appears in the excerpt.Could you share the rest of the transcript (or at least the portion covering the substantive SEO discussion), or provide the guest bio / company description? Any of those would give me the real content needed to write an accurate description.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

YouTube view-to-subscriber ratios are declining as AI search expands into video. Tasia Custode, Founder and CEO of Brio Media, has published content weekly since 2020, building sustained audience growth by prioritizing helpfulness over virality. The conversation examines agentic search's shift from information retrieval to task completion, the monetization and attribution risks AI-generated summaries pose to creator watch time and citation value, and a performance framework built on click-through rate, retention data, and brand partnership signals rather than vanity metrics.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
