The future of SEO & Agentic AI

About this episode

Dr. Marie Haynes discusses the future of search with a focus on agentic AI and its implications for SEO and business owners.

The future of search isn't search; it's agents. Dr. Marie Haynes tackles the biggest shift facing the web: agentic AI. This episode explores the new wave of agentic browsers like OpenAI's Atlas and Perplexity, the massive implications of Walmart partnering with OpenAI, and the legal battles already beginning. Dr. Haynes maps out a near future where home robots order products without ever seeing a website. What does an SEO or business owner do when the user interface is gone? This is a must-listen for anyone building a career on the web. And OH YEAH, this episode was edited by an app that I created in AI Studio's build feature. It actually worked!
