What HubSpot Knows About AI Search: Sylvain Charbit, Lead AI Search Strategist at HubSpot
HubSpot is one of the most renowned brands in SaaS. It operates in over 135+ countries, powers nearly 300,000+ businesses, and is one of the most consistently cited brands in AI search.

How to Prepare for the Agentic AI Wave: Ray Grieselhuber, CEO of DemandSphere
Ray Griselhuber is the founder and CEO of DemandSphere. For the last 15+ years, he's experienced the different waves of search firsthand. And because of this, he knows how to confidently navigate between what's a true signal and what's just noise. In this episode of the Get Discovered podcast, he joins host Joe Walsh to talk about exactly that. He shares why the SEO measurement contract is broken, what you can do instead, and how we can all think about—and better prepare for—the next wave of agentic AI without panicking. What you'll learn: How to think about measurement in SEO now Why your website should be less about marketing The training layer vs. the retrieval layer in LLMs, and why both matter Where most teams are going wrong with traditional SEO How to think about agents on your website Misconceptions about AI search Monday Morning Action: Like Ray, many of our guests are already talking about agentic AI. Tune into our episodes with guests like Tobias Schlottke, Ethan Smith, or Marius Meiners, who are navigating these shifts too.

From Discoverability to Actionability: Tobias Schlottke, Cofounder, Partner, and CTO at saas.group
In this episode, we sit down with Tobias Schlottke, Cofounder, Partner, and CTO of saas.group, one of Europe's leading software portfolio companies with 25+ brands and $100M+ ARR. Tobias, or Tobi, makes some stark comments this episode. His main take: being discoverable by AI isn't enough. Businesses need to go one step further to ensure agentic AI can actually take action on their sites, too. What you'll learn this episode: How to move from discoverability to actionability Why trusted sources matter more than ever Why you don't always need to read tech news Risks to be prepared for: prompt injection, security issues, and more What's coming next for SaaS This week's Monday Morning Action: explore agentic AI. If you haven't already, familiarize yourself with agentic tools like Claude Cowork. Connect them with your tech stack (Notion, Gmail, etc.) and assign them manual tasks, such as populating a Notion database. The more experience you have with agentic AI, the better prepared you'll be for what's next.

Why You Shouldn't Over-Focus on Citations: Tom Capper, Senior Search Scientist at Moz

Why the Golden Era of Content is Over: Ryan Law, Director of Content Marketing at Ahrefs
Ryan Law spent 14 years building a career on the predictability of SEO. Publish good content, optimize it well, and watch the traffic compound. Then he published the research showing AI overviews reduce clicks to top-ranking pages by 58%, and needed to find a new strategy quickly. Ryan is the Director of Content Marketing at Ahrefs, one of the most widely read SEO blogs in the industry. In this episode, he sits down to talk about what's actually breaking for content teams right now, why the way companies think about AI search is wrong, and what the next 12–18 months look like from someone sitting inside one of the industry's biggest data sets. What you'll learn: Why AI overviews are the primary driver of click loss, and what the data actually shows How to frame the traffic conversation with leadership when the whole industry is affected Why Ryan believes there's an inverse relationship between attribution ease and a tactic's longevity The shift Ahrefs is making: more original research, more LinkedIn, more third-party distribution Why AI search and traditional SEO are the same channel, and why treating them separately is a mistake What Ryan is genuinely optimistic about in the AI era Monday Morning Action When someone discovers your brand through ChatGPT or Perplexity, they avoid clicking links and open a new tab directly to your site. This often shows up as direct traffic without a source, referral, or campaign data. This week's action: Pick your top 3 pages by historical organic traffic Open GA4 and check the direct traffic trend over the past 6–12 months If direct traffic is climbing to those pages, AI might be sending you customers without leaving a note Found something surprising?

How Yoast Is Rethinking SEO for the Age of AI: Alain Schlesser, Principal Architect at Yoast
Yoast is the SEO plugin behind more than 13 million WordPress sites. For most of its history, that meant one thing: helping sites rank on Google. In October 2025, they launched SEO AI Plus, a product that tracks how brands appear inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. And that's a meaningful signal about where the industry is heading. Alain Schlesser, Principal Architect at Yoast, joined Joe Walsh to unpack what they're seeing now that tracking is live, and what it means for marketing teams who are still struggling to adapt to an AI-first era. What you’ll learn: Why AI answer engines make traditional SEO even more critical‚ not less, and why most teams have this backwards Why playing it safe with your content means AI systems may never know your brand exists What Yoast is actually seeing now that their AI visibility tracking is live Why blocking AI crawlers is a business decision you'll regret and what to do instead The inflection point coming in the next 12–18 months that most companies aren't measuring for Monday Morning Action: Right-click your homepage and press View Page Source.
