In this episode of The Search Session, Gianluca Fiorelli talks with Ramon Eijkemans, a big-site SEO specialist and SEO automation builder from the Netherlands, about how AI is reshaping search and forcing SEOs to rethink content, structure, and relevance.  The discussion goes beyond rankings, exploring how clearer, self-contained content, semantic HTML, and stronger information architecture help both users and AI systems understand pages more effectively.
