AI Has Not Replaced SEO, Expert Says

Digital marketing consultant Husam Jandal argues that search engine optimization (SEO) remains essential for business growth despite increased use of AI platforms that produce zero-click answers. The article cites data that 68% of Google searches end without a click, Google’s traffic share to 75,000+ websites fell ~22% year-over-year, and AI tools refer less than 1% of traffic to external sites. It also notes that search and websites remain central to buyer research—75% of B2B buyers use search during vendor research and many users validate AI recommendations by visiting company sites—so SEO tactics still support visibility in search-based AI systems.
