Forget everything you knew about the 10 blue links.
At Google I/O 2025, they made it clear:
Search is becoming AI-driven, agent-powered, and multimodal.
This isn’t a trend — it’s a full transformation.
And if you're in SEO, here’s what you need to start doing right now:
1. Structure Your Content
👉Use proper schema markup (Article, FAQ, Product, etc.)
👉Break down content with logical headings and subtopics.
👉Keep things clean, skimmable, and machine-readable.
2. Make Your Site Work for AI Agents
👉Ensure your site is usable by bots (avoid JavaScript blockers on forms or buttons).
👉Structure your data so AI can complete actions on your site.
👉Explore Google’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) to stay ahead.
3. Optimize for Visual and Voice Search
👉Add alt text and image schema.
👉Make sure your visuals load quickly and look great.
👉Think about voice search: write content that sounds natural when read aloud.
4. Feed Google Live Data
👉Sync with Merchant Center and Google Business Profile
👉Update product feeds regularly.
👉Use structured data for everything from availability to delivery.
5. Build Trust Signals Into Your Pages
👉Add author schema with real bios and credentials
👉Keep your brand signals strong across all platforms.
👉Show user reviews, sources, and E-E-A-T where possible.
6. Shift How You Measure SEO Success
👉 Are you included in AI summaries?
👉Are users finding your answers, even if they don’t click?
👉Is your content being cited or referenced in long-tail queries?
📊 We must stop obsessing over #1 and start tracking visibility across formats.
