💡 Today’s Insight 💡

🗞 TL;DR - Recent algorithm updates and AI have shaken up traditional SEO. While we were lucky to get some insight into Google’s process through that recent algorithm leak, it’s still clear that SEO is shifting from the value it once brought. HubSpot’s CMO Kipp Bodnar and SVP of Marketing Kieran Flanagan discussed on the company’s blog how marketers can be prepared for a post-SEO world.

💡 Insight - Here are the six trends HubSpot’s marketing leaders see on the rise in a post-SEO world:

  1. B2B creators & creator channels - prioritizing personalities over brands to foster connections between businesses & customers

  2. Outbound marketing and AI - streamline your team’s efforts

  3. Video content - harder to replicate and more defensible from AI

  4. Product differentiation - standing out in an oversaturated market

  5. Community-driven platforms - Reddit & Quora hold more weight in search rankings

  6. Founders as creators - building a strong personal brand and engaging with audiences regularly to make them feel part of the process
