SearchestraStop Arguing Whether SEO Is Dead. Your Competitor Is Measuring AI.
The 'is SEO dead' debate is a comfortable place to spend energy that changes nothing. Meanwhile, a competitor stopped arguing and started measuring how they appear in AI answers. The debate is a distraction; the work is extending what you do into the surface where buyers now decide.
The debate is a distraction from the work
Whether you call it dead or alive, the practical reality is the same: buyers use AI answers, and you probably cannot see how you appear there. Arguing the label does not close that gap. A competitor who skipped the debate and measured is already acting on findings you do not have.
Debate versus action
| Debating the label | Doing the work |
