The conversation unpacks how the mechanics of online discovery are being reshaped by AI, shifting user behavior, and the declining reliability of traditional traffic channels. Together, we examine why visibility is no longer just a marketing function but a product and experience challenge — where trust, intent, and usefulness determine whether users discover and choose a product. The discussion also covers how teams should rethink SEO from a tactical ranking exercise into a strategic growth capability, what durable acquisition looks like today, and how organizations can adapt their playbooks to stay relevant as search continues to evolve. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/always-be-testing-6553652/episodes/117-3-structural-shifts-are-breaking-traditional-seo-jordan-koene/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/always-be-testing-6553652/117-3-structural-shifts-are-breaking-traditional-seo-jordan-koene.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
