Inside Razorfish’s AI Search Strategy 🧠 | Amos Ductan on Merging SEO, Paid Search & Answer Engines

The SEO Podcast: Page 2 Podcast Hosted by Jon Clark & Joe DeVita

https://page2pod.com - What happens when search engines evolve into answer engines and AI determines what your audience sees? In this episode, Jon Clark and Joe DeVita talk with Amos Ductan, SVP of Search at Razorfish, about the radical shift from traditional search to AI-powered discovery platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI mode.

Amos dives into how Razorfish is merging SEO and paid media strategies, preparing for a future where prompts replace keywords, and "just showing up" in AI results becomes the new baseline for success. He also introduces the concept of "The Correction"—how AI search is recalibrating both consumer behavior and the KPIs marketers have relied on for decades.

Whether you're leading an agency or managing digital campaigns, this conversation is packed with tactical insights on AI visibility, feed optimization, and how to future-proof your marketing strategy.
