In this episode of Content, Briefly, Alex talks with Caelean Barnes, CEO of Gauge, about what actually drives results in AI search.

They unpack why clear, direct first-party content is the biggest lever, how third-party platforms shape AI narratives, and why strategies must stay iterative as models constantly change.

Caelean shares the core metrics that matter — visibility and citation rate — plus why self-reported attribution is essential in a zero-click world. They also explore how AI is compressing the funnel and shifting content marketers toward strategy, editing, and orchestration over manual production.

Bottom line: SEO fundamentals still work — but content must be clearer, fresher, and built for AI.
