Traditional SEO tactics are losing effectiveness as AI-driven, multimodal search surfaces zero-click results and prioritizes contextual relevance over keyword signals. Privacy-first search changes available signals and requires new measurement and authority-building approaches. Relevance engineering—optimizing for context, user intent, and brand signals—becomes central alongside technical branding and AI-aware content. Brands must manage AI brand drift, competitor click influence, and echo chambers while leveraging multimodal formats and improving user experience. Practical steps include building strong brand signals, technical branding, monitoring algorithmic shifts, and prioritizing privacy-respecting data practices to maintain visibility and trust in the evolving search landscape.
