Neil Patel argues that traditional SEO—ranking higher to drive traffic and conversions—is obsolete as buyers increasingly rely on AI assistants rather than comparing multiple sources.

The change is driven partly by buyer-side adoption of AI agents that research and pre-qualify vendors before human contact, forcing marketers to rethink strategy and workflow.
