    E295 | The Future of SEO in an AI-First world with Kevin Indig | HyperGrowth Partners

    Today on the show we have Kevin Indig, Growth Advisor and Partner at HyperGrowth Partners, a stage accelerator that invests time into early-stage startups to help them achieve and sustain rapid growth post-Series A. Kevin is also the former Director of SEO at Shopify and VP of SEO & Content at G2, with a rich background advising top startups like Glean, Toast, and Reddit. In this episode, Kevin breaks down how AI is fundamentally changing the world of SEO. We explore why 2024 might have been the last year of peak organic traffic, how AI is creating higher-intent traffic that converts better, and why brand trust matters more than ever in search results. Kevin also dives into how LLMs use search engine data to ground responses, why traditional content strategies are losing relevance, and how modern companies should pivot toward first-party data, robust documentation, and strong communities. We also discuss the evolving role of Chrome, why Reddit is having a moment, and why retention—not just clicks—is becoming the ultimate SEO metric. As usual, I'm excited to hear what you think of this episode, and if you have any feedback, I would love to hear from you. You can email me directly on andrew@churn.fm.
