OpenAI just revealed exactly how it decides what ranks #1, and it’s not what you think. 

After analyzing over a million conversations, OpenAI exposed how people actually use ChatGPT to research, compare, and buy. 

This isn’t just a shift in behavior, it’s the birth of a new kind of search. 

In this video, you’ll learn how to position your business to show up inside ChatGPT’s answers (and Google’s new AI Overviews), before your competitors even realize what’s happening.

If you want your business to dominate search results everywhere your customers are looking, this video is your roadmap. 

SEO isn’t just about ranking on Google anymore. Customers are searching billions of times a day across YouTube, TikTok, Amazon, LinkedIn, Reddit — and now AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity. If you’re not showing up there, you’re invisible where buying decisions are being made.

In this video, I reveal a 5-step SEO strategy my award-winning agency uses to help brands rank #1 across all platforms and AI engines. 

You’ll learn how to:

- Understand why search has changed forever
- Map the new customer journey across platforms
- Build an SEO system that works for both humans and AI
- Create content ecosystems that get cited in AI tools
- Measure and adapt faster than your competitors

The businesses that master this strategy will gain an edge they can ride for years.

ChatGPT burning through through billions of dollars to keep 800 million users chatting for free and now, OpenAI’s next move could turn your conversations into a trillion-dollar shopping gateway.

In this video, I break down how ChatGPT is evolving from a chatbot into a commerce platform, launching Instant Checkout with Etsy and Shopify, hiring the masterminds behind Facebook and Instacart’s ad empires, and quietly building the next trillion-dollar ad network.

You’ll learn how this shift is reshaping SEO, eCommerce, and paid media, and how smart brands can profit before the crowd catches on.

When it comes to text-based content, companies are increasingly relying on AI.

Just look at the data below from 500 companies.

We are approaching a point where companies are choosing AI to create content over humans.

Keep in mind that the majority of companies use humans to modify their AI content.

It showcases how organizations are becoming more efficient through the use of AI.

Here’s how fast ChatGPT is catching up to Google.

Google’s at roughly 13.7 billion searches a day.

If ChatGPT continues at this pace, it will reach similar volume numbers by 2030 to Google’s current daily searches.

Most searches in 2026 will be answered by AI before anyone clicks your site, so how do you stay visible when Google’s AI, ChatGPT, and Perplexity decide what gets shown before a user ever visits your page? Neil Patel reveals the 5 strategies that’ll help you dominate AI-powered search and future-proof your SEO.

SEO Isn’t Dead. It Just Got Bigger!

The more you optimize for Search Everywhere Optimization (SEO + social + AI + marketplaces), the more you’ll dominate, even if competitors still obsess over Google alone.

The sooner you realize platform-specific strategies (not just posting) drive decisions, the faster you’ll turn visibility into validation, and validation into sales.

The bottom line? Traditional SEO (Google rankings) is now just 1 piece of a much larger puzzle, because 73% of buying decisions start on TikTok, Amazon, ChatGPT, and Reddit.

Marketers are flocking to “spam” Reddit so they can get mentioned more by ChatGPT.

One, spamming is too short-sighted, but two… don’t assume that one source will get you the results you want.

Algorithms change, just as we’ve seen with SEO and Google over the years.

And of course, ChatGPT evolves constantly, and they’ve decided not to rely on Reddit as much (at least for now).

As time goes on, I bet they will be more selective about which sites they cite. Instead of community sites where anyone can participate in the long run, they will probably favor industry-specific sites.

I’ve been talking with Google’s team to learn more about their new AI products. 

Most people think Google’s AI is still in the testing phase. It’s not.
It’s already changing how billions of people search, shop, and make decisions online.

In this video, I’ll break down what’s really happening behind the scenes, what it means for your business, and how to get ahead before everyone else catches on.

Have you thought about reducing or stopping blogging altogether?

A lot of people are because they feel it’s an old game that’s useless.

We looked at 20 companies, 10 of which decided to stop blogging over the last 12 months. And 10 who kept on blogging.

Here’s what happened to their revenue and traffic from organic (including LLMs).

ChatGPT Just Revealed Its Two-Step Playbook for AI Visibility.

The more you create research-driven content that answers specific questions from Reddit and Quora, instead of promotional pitches, the faster you'll earn ChatGPT's trust and recommendations.

The sooner you build authority distribution across multiple platforms (not just your website), the more AI will cross-reference and validate you as a credible source.

The bottom line? If you're not creating definitive guides and spreading your expertise across multiple trusted sites, you're invisible to the AI that's answering your customers' questions.

AI Search Didn’t Change SEO. It Killed the Keyword.

The more you optimize for conversational context, not just short-tail keywords, the more you’ll win the 50 million daily shopping queries happening right now inside ChatGPT.

The sooner you realize AI understands user scenarios, budgets, and pain points, not just “best wireless earbuds”, the faster you’ll shift from keyword-based pages to answer-rich, context-aware content.

The bottom line? If you’re still writing for Google’s 10 blue links, you’re invisible to the 2.5 billion daily prompts shaping the future of search.

#AIContext #ConversationalSearch #PostKeywordSEO

AI is "Blind" to Your Website. Here’s How to Give It Vision.

The more you use schema markup to label your content for AI, the less it has to guess about who you are and what you sell, and the more accurately it can recommend you.

The sooner you realize your site looks like an unlabeled grocery store to AI without structured data, the faster you’ll stop being misunderstood and start getting positioned correctly in search.

The bottom line? If you’re not using schema as a translator, AI is guessing your content, and it’s guessing wrong. Fix the labels, and you fix your visibility.

#SchemaMarkup #AISEO #StructuredData

People think ChatGPT is killing Google, but the data shows otherwise.

Not only is Google generating 5 trillion searches a year, but look at their ad revenue.

It continues to rise, even with the release of ChatGPT.

Whether you love or hate Google, it’s a channel you can’t take for granted.

The New SEO: Winning AI’s Trust, Not Just Rankings.

The more you optimize for AI-friendly content (clear summaries, bullet points, structured data), the more you’ll become the source, not just another search result.

The sooner you realize traditional metrics (traffic, CTR) are outdated, the faster you’ll adapt to the new rule: In AI search, you don’t rank, you’re either the answer or you don’t exist.

The bottom line? In the AI era, visibility isn’t about rankings, it’s about being cited. ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity don’t rank links; they recommend answers. If AI doesn’t trust you, you’re invisible.

#AISEO #SearchEvolution #BeyondRankings

OpenAI Just Killed the Online Checkout. And Ecommerce Will Never Be the Same.

The more you optimize your product feeds for ChatGPT’s structured data hunger, the more you’ll win direct, in-chat sales while competitors cling to Google.

The sooner you realize OpenAI’s “instant checkout” turns product discovery into a one-step transaction, the faster you’ll feed AI richer details than your own website, because that’s where buyers are now.

The bottom line? If you’re not formatting your catalog for AI-powered commerce, you’re not just missing traffic, you’re missing the entire transaction.

Search is changing, but not just in the way most people think.

Sure, AI is disrupting it, but there is more to it.

People are actually changing how they use search.

Look at how people were searching on Google in 2024 versus 2025.

Because AI is providing higher-quality results, people are searching for more top-of-funnel and informational queries.

I bet we’ll see that trend continue in 2026.

Amazon Just Went Dark on ChatGPT. And Created a $56B Opportunity for Everyone Else.

The more you realize ChatGPT already drives 20% of traffic to Walmart and Etsy, the faster you’ll open your catalog to AI, instead of blocking it like Amazon did.

The sooner you act, the more you stand to gain from the 600 million Amazon products ChatGPT can no longer see, leaving buyers with only you and your competitors.

The bottom line? If you’re not optimizing for AI discovery now, you’re not just missing traffic, you’re missing the biggest retail shift since Google.

#AISearchWars #EcommerceStrategy #AmazonBlindspot

ChatGPT Doesn't Just Recommend Products. It Reveals Its Entire Playbook.

The more your content appears on authoritative sites, review aggregators, and detailed Reddit threads, the more AI systems like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews will cite you as a top recommendation.

The sooner you realize ChatGPT has a clear bias for structured data from G2, expert takes from Forbes, and authentic Reddit dialogues, the faster you'll stop creating solo content and start building visibility across its three favorite source types.

The bottom line? If you're not strategically placing your brand on the platforms AI trusts most, you're missing the entire first page of the new internet.

ChatGPT may be the most popular AI platform, but there is volume in the long tail.
