SEO is far from dead in 2024 brother... it’s evolving!

AI might change the game, but the core principles of search remain the same which is to provide value, building authority, and connect with your audience. I would say YES diversifying strategies like incorporating YouTube is smart, but dismissing SEO altogether? That’s a rookie mistake. Look, the future is about blending the best of both worlds: mastering SEO while leveraging the power of video content. All I will say is Adapt, but don’t abandon!!!!

80% developers and designers don't want to be on camera talking about work.

YouTube is massively saturated with irrelevant keywords and finding something in a legit search comes up with a whole lot of crap.

Depends on your audience.
As an ex-marketer for Apple and have grown multiple businesses I can say that not all audiences will be in YouTube.

My primary audience are exclusively consuming information in the written form. The type to print articles so they can read on vacation (Wall Street journal, economist, MIT Technological review etc)

These type do not want to watch a video of any type.

I have 600 videos on YouTube using the help of VidIQ to establish keywords, tags, titles and descriptions etc. also had a videographer, editor, high end equipment so they are all professionally shot; but only have 700 subscribers with minimal lead generation. It has been a time and resource sink.

My SEO has brought in 90% of our clients and establishing us as the professionals in the industry. This is how we get recognized for local awards and recognition as well.

Very interesting and informative. But I'm 21 and I'm bored with videos everywhere already, I'm so over snippets of information and people jumping all over the place trying to sell me stuff. It's like a constant stream of 1990s Amercian Infomercials....again... I'm beginning to want information that has more to it, more substance (I'm beginning to sound like my mom). I'm tired of following behind a lot of vids (some really well done, very entertaining, slick and creative etc)...but the overall feeling is information deficit. Constant stream of stuff with no back bone. But i see what you mean

Yeah sure. As if evereyone who needs a plumber or a dentist would go on Youtube and watch 20 videos about plumbing.

So. SEO is dead? Just like it was last year, and the year before that, and the year before that 🤣? Every new year there is this SEO is dead thing.

[PatriciaAnnBrubaker]

So I gave been procrastinating on You Tube for awhile now (fear, anyone?). But, I guess now is the time!!!!

[LesniakKrzysztof]

I don't think it's valid for every type of business. There are things not interesting enough to be watched on YT. By anyone.

[kevinschmidt]

What about ecommerce? Who comes here to look for products, when they could go to the big A instead?

[jupallidinesh]

I think you're in intention to promote youtube Seo instead SEO😅

[RohanGillett]

The key phrase here is, "Once your videos break through...". For the overwhelming majority of us that should be understood as, "If your videos break through." And it is a really big "if".

[StreamlineRoofingTx]

Wes, you loud and clear on video. However, I wonder if a distinction needs to be made between informational searches, versus transactional, or service based, Google searches, directed towards a local business or service area. Thoughts?

[richardmyers]

Don't give up on the Google maps and the local searches. That's how AI will get a lot of its answers .
SEO is dead. Sure, but local SEO will be bigger than ever.

This video didn't age well, just after 8 days out 😂 Sora will flood YouTube videos by this summer 🌞

[INREDNINGSV]

I think many ppl still like to read human wrítten articles with a SOUL and not all AI thats cold and soulless and BORING!

[Jase]

Damn, watched 3/4 of this video before I realised it wasn't relevant to my Shopify store.
Grr.

You say "Our preference for human connection isn't going to change." I think you're wrong there. I think you're showing your age with that statement. Definitely true of older generations who have more face to face personal skills. And definitely true of presenters and sales people who like to get up close and personal. But Gen Z and Gen A are actively avoiding personal connections. Their connection is through their tech devices. And many of those onscreen characters are digitally generated, particularly in computer games. They are growing up to trust a computer character more than a real human. So don't be surprised if younger people prefer to watch AI generated character content.

Good video and makes total sense. Since AI content is flooding the web page creation process and the data is text based SEO is going to be extremely hard to thrive at. Personal branding will more more important than ever. Youtube is obviously great at this since there is a feeling of connectivity with the creator. I'm glad I have focused most of my efforts into making a huge amount of videos. I still create blog posts but they always feel inferior to a good video.

Also, for those of you that are feeling apprehensive because video creation seems like a difficult thing to do, just get started and avoid any idea of perfectionism. I look back at my old videos and cringe but they were necessary to get going. Not saying my new videos are the highest quality but they improved immensely from sheer volume and taking feedback from my subscribers along the way.

Good luck to you and don't be a slave to AI tools. Shortcuts always come at a price. Just be yourself and make the content you would enjoy watching! Also, be extremely patient. Most people give up before they actually have time to succeed at something. Pick something that you will do when times are good and when times are bad and you will have your success along the way!
