With tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews shifting how search results are delivered, contractors who rely on organic leads can't afford to sit this out. From local SEO to AI-friendly website structure, Logan shares what's working right now (October 2025) and how remodelers can prepare for a future where search engines are smarter—and less likely to send users to your site by default. If you've heard phrases like \"zero-click search\" or \"retrieval augmented generation\" and don't know how they affect your marketing, this is the episode to listen to.

SEO Fundamentals Still Matter → Clear website structure, fast load times, keyword strategy, and quality content are still foundational. → Blogs and project pages should be conversational and answer real homeowner questions.
