Stop Chasing AI Rankings And Fix Your Search Strategy

Описание: In this episode of E-coffee with Experts, our host Austin Willman talks with Tom Skinner, Co-founder & Managing Director, Go Up Ltd, to break down what’s really happening in search right now, and why many AI tracking tools are creating more confusion than clarity.

We dive into why traditional SEO metrics can’t simply be copied into AI search, the risks of chasing vanity AI rankings, and how brands should instead focus on what actually drives organic growth: strong fundamentals, clear messaging, and digital PR.

Tom shares how Go Up has ranked top 3 for “SEO agency London” for nearly a decade, why backlinks and brand mentions matter more than ever, and how agencies should rethink client reporting in a post-AI world. We also discuss Rand Fishkin’s recent AI visibility research, the dangers of black-hat listicle manipulation, and why SEO and GEO should never be treated as separate strategies.

If you’re a founder, agency owner, or marketer trying to understand how AI is changing search — without falling for hype — this episode is for you.
