New Google AI Mode = Big SEO shifts ahead 🚀

Hello, my friend!

Did you hear the big news from Google? 👀 

Just a few days ago, Google I/O announced that AI Mode in Google Search is officially live in the U.S. starting May 20th (and it’s coming to more countries soon). 🌍

And nope, this isn’t just the AI Overviews you’ve seen before.

We’re talking about a whole new tab in Google Search and the Google app. 🔍

Google says this new AI Mode lets you:

• Ask more detailed, multi-part questions (like you're chatting with a super smart friend 🤖)

• Dive deeper with follow-up questions 🧠

Based on what you ask, you’ll get a custom response with helpful links to websites, stores, and businesses you might haven't discovered otherwise. 💡🛍️

Plus, Google will start giving you personalized suggestions based on your past searches. 🎯

And there’s more coming soon...

This summer, AI Mode will also bring:

• 🧮 Smart data analysis + cool visual breakdowns

• 🎥 Live Search previews

• 👗 A “Try On” feature so you can virtually try on clothes before buying!

Kinda exciting, right? 😄

But anything new can feel a little scary. Especially when we don’t fully understand how it’ll impact us as content creators. 🤷‍♀️

While I was watching the Google I/O presentation, one thought kept running through my mind:

👉 Google still needs to get info somewhere to answer people’s questions.

So, where’s that information going to come from?

From our content!

But here’s the big question:
How will Google decide which pages to recommend? 🤔

I truly believe it’ll come down to something we’ve heard before: E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness).

I mention it every single time I talk about SEO because it’s just that important now. 🔁

It’s not just about ranking #1 anymore.

It’s about building trust so your pages actually get shown to people searching for answers. 🔍

Our job is to adapt, stay visible, and keep creating content that helps people, even if the game has changed. 🧠📈

Want to learn more about E-E-A-T, and how to grow your website and write content that actually shows up on Google (and in AI search engines)? 👀 

Check my SEO ebook. 📘

In 110 pages, I walk you through everything that’s worked for me — from writing front-page content to doing SEO that still works in the age of AI. 💻✨

What’s latest on my website?

I’ve been creating new content from my old posts using AI SEO tools. 🤖✨

This latest piece below took me about 4 hours from start to finish — writing, optimizing, and hitting publish. It’s only been live for about 10 days, but it's already starting to show good signs. 📈

Just like my Mailchimp alternatives post, I’m convinced this one will climb up the rankings within a month and start bringing in affiliate income and maybe even a few sponsorships. 💸🙌

For example, the Mailchimp alternatives post has been live since April 3rd, but it has already made me $400 in sponsorships.

The secret? My site follows Google’s E-E-A-T guidelines (basically, showing I know my stuff and can be trusted). 🔍✅

I don’t even focus on building backlinks… and still, my web pages hit the first page. Why? Because my site has solid authority and trust.

Curious how to do the same? I break it all down in my SEO ebook. 📘👇
