This Week in Martech
For years, website strategy followed a familiar formula:
Build pages. Optimize for keywords. Rank in Google.
Today, that playbook is evolving.
People are increasingly discovering information through AI assistants, answer engines, communities, newsletters, and social platforms. As a result, marketers are rethinking not just what their websites say, but how information is structured, organized, and surfaced.
The next generation of websites may be designed not only for human visitors, but also for AI systems that summarize, recommend, and deliver information directly to users.
What's Worth Paying Attention To
Generative search continues changing how users discover information
AI is increasingly being used to improve website structure and content strategy
Website speed and clarity remain critical ranking factors
Marketers are beginning to focus on Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) alongside traditional SEO
