Ever since Google introduced SERP features like featured snippets, knowledge panels, and map packs, people have relied less and less on organic results and focused more on what Google shows them upfront.
For the first time, zero-click searches surpassed organic clicks in 2019, with 55% of all searches ending without a click.
But zero-click searches are making a massive comeback in 2025. We might just see an all-time low in organic clicks as generative AI and LLMs take off.
When zero-click searches take over, will SEO even be necessary? Let’s discover the answer here.
The way people search is changing, and it’s happening fast. With the rise of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, along with the reimagining of SERPs thanks to AI Overviews, more users are skipping traditional “blue link” Google search altogether.
In fact, statistics show that 52% of Gen Z are already using AI to make informed decisions. Whether it’s for product research, recommendations, or everyday questions doesn’t matter.
The point is this trend isn’t slowing down.
As users turn to LLMs for search, sticking to traditional SEO won’t cut it anymore. This shift calls for a new kind of optimization.
Enter: Large Language Model Optimization (LLMO).
To stay competitive, brands need to ensure their content is not just discoverable by search engines but also understandable, quotable, and usable by AI models.
In this article, we’ll break down exactly how you can optimize your website for this new frontier in digital visibility.
It all started with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and many companies have begun riding the AI train since. Google included.
From Search Generative Experience to its rebrand, AI Overviews, now, the search engine giant is experimenting with a new SERP feature that will radically change how search works.
Introducing: AI Mode.
Google’s latest experiment, AI Mode, isn’t just another tweak to the SERP like AI Overviews.
It’s literally removing the 10 blue links in favor of AI-generated content produced by a supercharged Gemini model capable of deeper reasoning and smarter comparisons, allowing it to fully answer complex and nuanced queries without users ever clicking a single link.
It’s really good. Kudos to Google.
While AI Mode favors the majority of searchers who just want quick and concise answers, for SEOs, this isn’t evolution but a disruption.
As Google pushes toward a zero-click, AI-driven search experience, many content creators and marketers will be left wondering: If Google answers everything while referencing only a select few, who still needs our websites?
I’m all for progress and maximum user experience, but AI Mode threatens to reduce even some of the best-optimized pages to invisible contributors in a summarized box, and it’s scary.
We’re no longer fighting for first position. We’re fighting to be included at all.
That said, is this the death of SEO we’ve all been fearing? It might be. But we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves.
If you haven’t noticed yet, we are living in an era of automation.
Ever since generative AI became mainstream, companies have made it their life mission to integrate artificial intelligence into their workflow and services. And for good reason!
AI shines in taking over repetitive tasks, leaving more room for humans to perform creative and strategic tasks. Even digital marketers and SEOs are turning to AI for menial responsibilities; internal linking is no exception.
Manually building internal links can be tedious, time-consuming, and easy to overlook, especially on growing websites.
That’s where automated internal linking comes in.
It promises to simplify SEO efforts, improve site structure, and keep your content interconnected with minimal effort. But like any automation, it’s not without drawbacks.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know—benefits, limitations, and the best tool to supercharge your internal linking campaigns. Stay tuned!
SEO mistakes are like termites in your walls. They stay silent, hidden, and slowly sabotage your SEO campaign from the inside while everything seems fine on the surface.
At least, that’s what I thought they were.
But many websites do not share the same viewpoint. In fact, many SEO mistakes lists I’ve seen kept pointing out the obvious: Keyword stuffing, slow site speed, lack of mobile optimization, etc.
DUH! Are there even any websites in 2025 still not optimized for mobile? I don’t think so.
The real SEO mistakes are not the glaring errors but the subtle ones. Those that feel right but quietly derail your efforts behind the scenes.
In this article, we’re skipping the obvious and diving deep into the 10 most destructive SEO mistakes that often fly under the radar. Stay tuned!
When you’re just starting with SEO (or have been at it for a while but are currently dealing with a tight budget), it can feel like every decent tool costs an arm, a leg, and your Netflix subscription.
Now I know what you’re thinking: why not just wing it and go commando on SEO without using any tools?
Sure, it’s possible—although it feels a bit like trying to find an unfamiliar place without Google Maps. You’ll get there eventually, but it’ll take longer than it should.
SEO tools expedite the process of ranking in search engines. And while quality often comes at a price, the truth is that improving your rankings doesn’t always have to drain your wallet.
There are tools out there that offer real SEO value without slapping you with a premium price tag. And that’s what we’re here to share with you!
In this guide, we’ve rounded up the top 10 cheapest SEO tools that move the needle, helping you research keywords, analyze backlinks, optimize content, and more. Keep reading.
