3 Local SEO Tips That Work for Google + ChatGPT

Episode 6

Wednesday, November 26, 2025 • Duration 35:01

In this episode, we unpack real data from a local AI search study and answer a big question: how do you actually become the brand that AI recommends?

Using the competitive landscape for “Chesterfield personal injury lawyer” as a live case study, we look at how Google’s Local Pack, organic rankings, and Google AI Mode relate to each other, and what that means for your local SEO and AEO strategy.

You will see why some firms show up everywhere, why directories keep winning, and why “ranking on AI” is really about brand visibility across many retrieval sources, not just your website.

In this episode, you will learn:

How local rankings in Google correlate with visibility in Google AI Mode
Why legal and local directories are some of the most important retrieval sources for AI answers
A simple 3 step playbook for local AI search: Local Pack, directories, and reviews
How to think about citations as the raw material that AI uses to form brand recommendations
What “query fan out” is and why your own prompts are a terrible way to track AI visibility
How to shift your mindset from “ranking pages” to “earning recommendations” inside AI chat products

Does Google Now Approve of AI Slop SEO Content?

Episode 5

Monday, November 17, 2025 • Duration 24:54

Google, OpenAI, and ChatGPT 5.1 are changing what it means to rank in search. In this episode, Nathan Gotch breaks down whether Google now approves of AI-generated content, how to rank in ChatGPT’s new 5.1 model, and why backlinks no longer guarantee visibility in AI search.

You will learn how Google’s new “Opal” content tools are creating confusion around AI-written articles, why tracking visibility in AI systems is so difficult, and what it takes to actually influence AI-generated answers.

Nathan also shares a new Google Search Console feature that lets you add annotations to track performance, explains the difference between static and retrieval data in ChatGPT 5.1, and shows why quality optimization still matters more than quantity.

If you are serious about ranking across Google, ChatGPT, and other AI platforms, this episode gives you the clarity and process you need to win in 2025.

Is Google’s New AI Mode the Beginning of the End for Websites?

Wednesday, November 12, 2025 • Duration 13:42

Google’s new Agentic Mode is changing how people search and interact with the web. In this episode, Nathan Gotch breaks down how AI browsing, AI Overviews, and ChatGPT’s upcoming ads are transforming SEO and what it means for website owners.

Nathan also shares new data on CTR decline, explains why “zero-click” search is becoming the norm, and reveals what you should focus on to stay visible in an AI-first world.
