SEO in 2025 has a new rule:

If your tools are outdated, your strategy will definitely fail.

AI changed how people search.
They ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

But never visit your website.

Traditional SEO tools fail to track that.

That’s why your tool stack needs an upgrade.

Here are 10 updated SEO tools built for your crucial tasks:

1. Keyword Research

→ Finds real conversational queries
→ Perplexity does it better with semantic topic discovery

2. SERP & AI Visibility Tracking

→ Tracks where you appear across search surfaces
→ AI Overview Monitor covers Google + AI answers

3. Metadata Optimization

→ Improves clarity and ranking signals
→ Claude rewrites metadata with entity awareness

4. Content Gap Analysis

→ Shows what competitors answer that you don’t
→ Perplexity reveals missing questions at the prompt level

5. Competitor Analysis

→ Shows who’s winning in your space
→ SE Ranking tracks competitor visibility in AI answers

6. Topical Authority Building

→ Helps you cover your topic deeply
→ ChatGPT maps entities and related concepts in seconds

7. On-Page Optimization

→ Fixes structure + readability
→ Claude restructures content in an AI-friendly format

8. Brand Mentions Tracking

→ Shows where your brand appears online
→ Profound shows where AI tools mention you in answers

9. Keyword Clustering

→ Groups keywords by meaning
→ ChatGPT clusters by semantic intent, not just similarity

10. Content Brief Creation

→ Builds outlines and research
→ Claude generates full briefs aligned with search + AI needs

But managing so many tools is a challenge in itself.

That’s where Semrush One comes in. 

It gives you:

→ Unified Visibility Tracking
→ Cross-Toolkit Integration
→ AI-powered Actionable Insights
→ Always Up-to-Date Data

Under one simple dashboard.

The biggest trust engine online isn’t Google.
Not even YouTube.

It’s Reddit.

Reddit is where real opinions live.
Real reviews.
Real buying decisions.

And here’s what most people miss:

Reddit threads rank on Google.
They show up in AI answers.
They influence customers before they even reach your site.

Yet most brands never show up there.
They leave the conversation wide open.
And competitors control the narrative.

If you want an unfair SEO advantage in 2025,
Go where trust is built, not where ads are forced.

Excited to be back in Berlin next week for the Berlin SEO & Content Club, co-hosted with Semrush! 🎯

The timing couldn't be more interesting—this will be one of my first public appearances since Adobe's acquisition of Semrush was announced, and I'm looking forward to discussing what this means for our community while diving into a topic that's reshaping how we think about SEO success.

I'll be presenting "Zero-Click Content Strategy: When 70% of Queries Never Visit Your Website (And Why That's Your Opportunity)"—exploring how the rise of AI-generated answers, featured snippets, and answer engines isn't the end of content marketing, but rather a fundamental shift in how we create value and build authority.

The lineup is fantastic:

Tina Reis on AI for Content Creation
Bert-Jan Vos on how Digital PR is becoming crucial in the age of AI Search

And a special note: this marks the 10th edition of the Berlin SEO & Content Club! 🎉

If you're in Berlin and working at the intersection of SEO, content, AI, or GEO, I'd love to see you there. Tickets are going fast—link in the comments.

See you in Berlin! 🇩🇪

After 10 years in SEO, let me tell you this painful truth:

Chasing traffic won’t grow your business.

You can brag about numbers in meetings.
You can celebrate those traffic spikes.
You can flex all you want.

But if visitors don’t convert, it’s just vanity.

Because traffic doesn’t pay bills
Conversions do.

If people visit but don’t buy, 
You just wasted your budget.

CRO changes everything.

It turns clicks into customers.
It guides users toward a goal.
It fuels real growth.

This carousel shows 6 simple steps to turn your traffic into customers.

The silent SEO problem nobody talks about

Managers chase A-players hoping they’ll save everything, but here’s what actually happens:

The star wants the spotlight.
The team becomes dependent.
Others stop growing.
Star leaves.

And you’re back to square one.

That’s not leadership.
That’s dependency.

You lose time.
You lose trust.
You lose belief in your own people.

Great leaders don’t hunt for A-players.
They build environments where ordinary people do extraordinary things.

Here’s my 5-step SHINE Framework to make your team shine:

1. See their strengths (not just skills)

Stop forcing people into roles.
Watch how they naturally solve problems.

Everyone has a hidden strength and your job is to find it.

2. Help them own outcomes (not just tasks)

Don’t just assign work. Explain the “why.”

When people own outcomes, they care more.
They stop waiting for direction and start driving results.

3. Invest in growth (not just performance)

Performance talks about the past.
Growth talks about the future.

Ask what they want to learn, not what they missed.

4. Name their wins publicly

Recognition isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s fuel.

Celebrate small wins in front of others.
Send public thank-you notes.

People repeat what gets celebrated.

5. Exit the spotlight

The best leaders don’t need the stage.

Let your team present.
Let them take the calls.
Let them shine.

Their growth is your success.

When you lead this way, your team will:

→ Stay longer (retention goes up)
→ Perform better (engagement rises)
→ Attract talent (hiring gets easier)
→ Become leaders themselves (your legacy multiplies)

That’s how rockstars are built.
Not hired but grown.

So stop searching for the perfect team.
Start building the conditions that make your team perfect for you.

97% brands are optimizing their content for the past, not the future. Here's why:

Brands are still stuck on backlinks and rankings,
While real attention shifted to AI answers.

People don’t “search” anymore.
They ask.

They ask ChatGPT.
They ask Perplexity.
They ask Gemini.

And they get their answer instantly.

That’s the new search engine.

It’s the shift no one’s talking about.

AI models are deciding which brands matter.
They’re forming opinions in real time.
They’re teaching millions what to believe.

And if it can’t cite your content, you don’t exist.

That’s how visibility is being redefined quietly.

LLMs are the new search engines.
And soon, every query will start there.

That’s why you need to start optimizing for them NOW.

It’s called AEO (Answer Engine Optimization.)

AEO means teaching AI how to talk about you.
It means making AI believe you’re credible.
It means increasing your reliability in AI answers.

It’s not about keywords anymore.
It’s about training LLMs how to position you accurately.

That’s why I built the 40 Best LLM Optimization Tools list.

It’s not another trend list.
It’s your visibility toolkit for the AI era.

These tools help your brand show up in the answers people trust most.

AEO isn’t the future.
It’s already here.

The brands that win won’t just rank higher,
They’ll be the ones AI remembers.

Because if you don’t teach AI who you are,
Someone else’s data will do it for you.

And that’s how reputations tank.

Get ahead of it.
Prepare now.

📌 Save this post so you can explore the tools later.
