Some marketers argue that Generative Engine Optimization is an entirely new discipline. Others believe it's simply good SEO applied to a new interface. In this episode, I sit down with David Quaid and Vlad Pivnev for a detailed debate on what has changed, what hasn't, and whether businesses should rethink how they approach search in the age of ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. Rather than repeating popular opinions, we challenge assumptions, compare evidence, and explore where traditional SEO ends and AI visibility begins. Topics we cover include: - Is GEO a genuinely new marketing discipline? - Why AI search engines produce different answers from Google - How ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini retrieve information - Whether ranking #1 in Google guarantees visibility in AI search - The role of brand authority, reviews, PR, Reddit, and citations - Query fan-out, retrieval, and how LLMs build answers - Whether AI search relies primarily on Google, Bing, or its own crawling - Can brands become visible in AI search without traditional rankings? - Measuring AI visibility versus traditional SEO performance - Practical approaches businesses can use today Whether you're an SEO professional, agency owner, marketer, founder, or simply trying to understand how AI is changing search, this conversation offers a detailed look at one of the biggest debates happening in the industry today.
