My point of view

SEO in the agentic age

AI now handles the low-level work — titles, metas, on-page. That’s an unlock, but it moves the value of a good SEO up the stack: to strategy, judgment, and knowing what not to do.

As SEOs, we are stewards of the AI. If you don’t know how to use the tools appropriately, you could get your website in a world of hurt.— Rob Bonham
  • Volume is not a strategy. Thin AI pages tank user signals, get devalued, and erode client trust.
  • Footprint beats tricks. Unlinked mentions and third-party visibility decide who wins.
  • Measure honestly. In a post-attribution world, tell the real story — not fake precision.
  • Everything works together. SEO wins when it’s integrated with content, PPC, email, and PR.
Whoever has the bigger footprint and the more people talking about them across the web in a positive way — that is the be-all and end-all of dominating the SERPs.— Rob Bonham
