Welcome to Bot Boundaries, hosted by Jackie and Katie, where we explore what it means to be human in the age of AI.  The 21st century has been defined by speed. Technology has given us access and deeper reach but it also raised new questions about attention spans, whether we can trust what we’re seeing, and how we can find balance in our lives.  Now, as artificial intelligence pushes us into a new frontier of work and creativity, we find ourselves learning in real time, without a clear roadmap. What matters most isn’t just what we can build, but how we thoughtfully choose to move forward together, keeping our friends, our neighbors, our children top of mind in the race towards advancing AI autonomy. We’re bringing our combined experience across entrepreneurship, marketing, and sales to unpack the big questions: trust, innovation, balance, and what it means to build a future we actually want. Join us as we dive into hot topics across tech, business, culture and the human side of it all—serving up value in every episode.

    Search Reimagined: How AI Is Transforming SEO, AEO, and GEO S1 EP07

    In this episode of Bot Boundaries, hosts Katie Wilson and Jackie Gutierrez explore the transformative impact of AI on search behavior and the evolving landscape of SEO, AEO, and GEO. They begin by defining key terms, explaining how traditional search engine optimization (SEO) is being supplemented by answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO). The conversation highlights the shift in user behavior, where users may no longer click through to websites as frequently, instead engaging directly with AI-generated responses. This change raises concerns about declining web traffic and prompts a discussion on how brands can adapt to maintain visibility in this new environment. They discuss the importance of understanding attribution in this evolving landscape, noting that traditional metrics may not fully capture the impact of AI interactions. They provide actionable insights for brands, such as optimizing product pages for AI visibility, maintaining clear and authoritative content, and embracing multi-touch attribution models. The episode concludes with a discussion on the future of e-commerce, where AI may facilitate direct purchases, urging brands to prepare for this shift by ensuring their online presence is optimized for AI interactions.
