Saurabh Doshi is helping businesses understand why traditional SEO is losing ground to generative AI search and what they need to do about it. As founder of OptimizeGEO, Saurabh works with companies to optimize their visibility not just for Google search results but for the AI-generated answers that are increasingly becoming the first thing people see when they search for anything.
In this episode, Russ and Saurabh dig into why the rise of AI-powered search is fundamentally changing how people discover businesses online, what generative engine optimization actually involves, and why the companies that adapt their content strategy now will have a significant advantage as AI search becomes the default.
They also get into what GEO-optimized content looks like in practice, how it differs from traditional SEO, what signals AI models use when deciding which sources to cite, and what businesses in every industry need to start doing today to stay visible in an AI-first search world.
