Have AI and AEO really changed SEO as much as everyone claims?


In this episode of The Search Session, Gianluca Fiorelli sits down with Eli Schwartz to unpack what’s actually happening in search. Rather than replacing traditional SEO, AI is reshaping how people discover information, how AI agents interact with websites, and why brand has become a critical visibility signal.


From agent-led search and multimodal experiences to international SEO and the evolving role of informational content, Eli explains why this may be the most exciting time in SEO—and why skilled practitioners are more valuable than ever. If you want to separate AI hype from real strategic shifts, this conversation is a must-watch.
