In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Chief Executive Officer & Co Founder of GreenBanana SEO, Kevin Roy. The Future of SEO: How AI is Changing the Game As the world becomes increasingly digitized, it's no surprise that artificial intelligence is starting to play a bigger role in search engine optimization (SEO). In a recent podcast episode, Kevin Roy, CEO of Green Banana SEO, shared his insights into how AI is changing the game for SEO experts. According to Kevin, AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach SEO by making it more efficient and effective.
