4. AI Mode (Labs): A ChatGPT-like experience within Google Search for multi-step reasoning, comparisons, and follow-up questions (e.g., “Compare sleep trackers and suggest nearby stores”).
5. Query Fan-Out: Simultaneously searches dozens of data sources (Knowledge Graph, real-time web, product listings) to synthesize answers.

Your 4-Step Action Plan

1. Write Like a Teacher, Not a Salesperson

• Before: “Top 5 CRM Tools”
• Now: “How to choose between HubSpot vs. Salesforce if you have 10+ sales reps but a tight budget”
• Tool Hack: Use LogicBalls’ “Question Expander” to turn basic topics into 50+ specific questions real people ask.

2. Become the “Wikipedia” of Your Niche Google’s AI hunts for trustworthy sources. Update old posts every 3 months:

• Add 2025 stats
• Link to .gov/.edu sites
• Use tables/charts (AI loves these!)

3. Talk to Voice Search 55% of AI Mode queries are spoken. Write like you’re explaining to a friend:

• Bad: “SEO optimization techniques”
• Good: “Alexa, how do I make my bakery’s website show up first?”

4. Feed the AI (But Stay Human)

• Do: Answer “vs” questions (WordPress vs. Wix)
• Don’t: Try to outwrite AI on basic facts
• Example: A realtor’s blog could target: “Why vintage homes in Phoenix sell faster with 3D tours (2025 data)”
