Digital Presence Update - Stop Chasing AI Search Hacks
AI search is changing how customers discover businesses—but the industry surrounding it is also producing a lot of hype, shortcuts, and questionable advice.
Is traditional SEO really dead? Does Google punish content simply because AI helped write it? Do you need special AI files and schema on your website? Can one favorable ChatGPT result prove your strategy is working?
In this episode, Joe Wallace separates the real changes in AI-powered search from the noise. He breaks down Google’s own guidance, recent industry research, and what small and mid-sized businesses should actually focus on as search becomes more fragmented.
The episode closes with a Digital Presence Update covering Google’s new visual-search reporting, the September spam update, new research into AI Mode behavior, and what businesses should be measuring as we head toward 2027.

Digital Presence Update - Search Is Becoming a Conversation About Your Business
Search is no longer just one question followed by one results page.
Customers can now move through a chain of questions, comparisons, and decisions while AI systems gather information from websites, reviews, business profiles, third-party sources, and other signals along the way.
In this episode, Joe Wallace breaks down what that means for small and mid-sized businesses. He looks at Google’s newly launched “Collected Info” feature for Business Profiles, why follow-up questions are becoming more important than the original search, why third-party mentions may matter more than many businesses realize, and why the future of content is increasingly about experience and judgment—not simply producing more words.
The episode closes with a Digital Presence Update covering Google Maps behavior, AI visibility measurement, and the newest changes affecting how businesses are discovered and evaluated online.

Digital Presence Update - AI Is Doing the Verification Now
Local search is entering a new phase.
Search engines and AI assistants are no longer just helping customers find businesses. They are increasingly interpreting intent, comparing evidence, and deciding which businesses appear to be the best fit before the customer ever clicks.
In this episode, Joe Wallace breaks down what Search Engine Land is calling “Local 5.0”—a shift from basic local visibility toward context, verification, and AI-assisted recommendations. He also looks at new research showing how the context around a customer’s request can change AI recommendations, why being known for specific topics matters, how businesses should measure AI visibility differently, and what Google’s brand-new August spam update tells us about the continued importance of strong fundamentals.
