2025?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the earliest points that sparked a unanimous response: most marketers are still sleeping on social.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK didn\u2019t mince words. He explained that brands are still treating social media like a secondary channel when, in reality, social has become both a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/news\/perplexity-search-engine-breaks-ground-in-googles-ai-overviews-108\/\">search engine<\/a> and a discovery engine, especially for younger consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This shift is not subtle. TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts have become the first stop for product research, reviews, tutorials, and trend discovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Meanwhile, AI-generated summaries are increasingly pulling content directly from social platforms to fuel search responses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet many brands continue to rely on Google search as their main battleground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phil added a sobering reminder: attention on social is not just cheaper, it is profoundly more effective when brands know how to test, iterate, and deploy short-form video intelligently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He emphasized that the formulas for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/news\/how-to-make-creative-content-go-viral-authentically-5651\/\">high-performing UGC<\/a> and social ads follow proven structures derived from decades of direct-response selling. Brands who ignore this are not just behind, they are invisible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Are SEO and Ads Still Relevant in an AI-First World? | SEO on-Air Roundtable Podcast\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YEBzWc0MMig?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-should-businesses-rethink-ads-in-the-age-of-iteration\"><\/span><b>How Should Businesses Rethink Ads in the Age of Iteration?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The discussion around ads shifted quickly from \u201cDo ads still work?\u201d to \u201cWhy are brands running them wrong?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phillip Hill made this point sharply: ads today must be treated like modular systems, not fixed campaigns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every component such as creative, hook, CTA, landing page, offer structure needs its own iterative lifecycle. If one module fails, the entire system cannot perform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phil Masiello linked this to a deeper truth: ads alone can\u2019t save a weak brand. If your product lacks real differentiation, no amount of creative optimization will make it profitable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many brands jump into paid ads before understanding their economics, customer lifetime value, retention, margins, and real acquisition thresholds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that\u2019s where so many campaigns fall apart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phil\u2019s anecdote about a startup deodorant brand highlighted this perfectly. A $25 product that lasts two years cannot drive sustainable paid acquisition. No creative strategy or agency magic can change the arithmetic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ads still work but only when the business model does.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-does-ai-fit-into-this-new-marketing-ecosystem\"><\/span><b>Where Does AI Fit Into This New Marketing Ecosystem?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI, unsurprisingly, dominated the conversation, but not from the angle many marketers expect. What stood out most: AI is no longer about retrieval, it is about reasoning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parin introduced the shift toward RDMa (Reasoning-Dominant Models), where AI no longer needs to store massive datasets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, it reasons through real-time information fetched from external sources. This fundamentally changes how marketers must think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brands can\u2019t rely on feeding AI \u201cstatic optimization signals.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Instead, they must create content and structures that reward reasoning engines, not just keyword engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phil Masiello added practical insight: his agency has seen direct purchase activity originating from ChatGPT Search, and optimizing for AI-driven search is now unavoidable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike Google, where ranking signals accumulate over time, AI search demands constant feeding, refreshing, and restructuring of information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK, who straddles both marketing and cybersecurity, brought a stark warning: AI search is manipulable. Extremely manipulable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He shared that influencing AI overviews can happen in as little as six hours, making the current state of AI search similar to pre-Panda Google (when spam tactics used to dominate). This is both an opportunity and a risk, depending on the marketer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-happens-to-authenticity-in-an-era-of-ai-generated-creators\"><\/span><b>What Happens to Authenticity in an Era of AI-Generated Creators?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most heated segments came when the group tackled AI-generated influencers and UGC avatars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phil was direct: AI personas can\u2019t replace real authenticity\u2014not in consumer brands.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A single uncanny-valley mistake in an AI video can destroy trust built over months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phillip echoed this, explaining that trust and credibility are now make-or-break moments for consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI imitates presence, but it cannot replicate lived experience or genuine storytelling, two pillars that define modern brand loyalty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BK, however, brought a bold counterpoint: in the AI Wild West, synthetic influencers will thrive, at least in some sectors. Faceless unboxings, AI avatars, and automated UGC workflows can drive impressions cheaply and at scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The problem? They may generate views, but not necessarily conversions, especially for products that require emotional connection, lifestyle aspiration, or authority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI will play a role but not uniformly. And certainly not without risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-seo-dead-or-just-evolving-faster-than-marketers-can-keep-up\"><\/span><b>Is SEO Dead, or Just Evolving Faster Than Marketers Can Keep Up?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The question quietly shaping the entire roundtable finally came up: Is SEO still relevant?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All four experts agreed: SEO is not dead, it is transforming to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanventures.com\/ai-seo-services\/\">AI SEO<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI-first search does not eliminate SEO; it changes the inputs and outputs. Instead of pure keyword engineering, SEO becomes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A discipline of structuring information for reasoning engines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A practice of distributing credible signals across multiple platforms<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A brand visibility exercise, not merely a ranking exercise<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phil shared a key insight: unlike Google Search, AI engines do not rely on years of accumulated ranking signals. The environment is dynamic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brands must update, adapt, and recontextualize content constantly to keep appearing in AI summaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parin added that AI is enabling marketers to access deeper behavioral insights than ever before. This, in turn, will help brands build more strategic and data-driven funnels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEO isn\u2019t dying. It\u2019s being rewritten and the marketers who learn the new chapter early will dominate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-should-brands-prepare-for-the-next-evolution-of-ai-search\"><\/span><b>How Should Brands Prepare for the Next Evolution of AI Search?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final question of the roundtable brought everything together: Where do marketers go from here?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The consensus was simple but powerful:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test relentlessly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t rely on assumptions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t chase every AI rabbit hole.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build foundational content and systems first.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use AI as a multiplier, not a substitute.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never ignore social media again.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And most importantly: keep evolving at the speed of the market, not the speed of your comfort zone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phil summed it up best: \u201cYou can\u2019t discount anything. You have to test everything.
