The State of SEO After Google I/O 2025 (What Bloggers Need to Know)

I watched the entire Google I/O 2025 so you don't have to! And I'm not just going to tell you what they said. I'm going to tell you what it actually means to us as bloggers and online business owners.

We'll get into the changes to Gemini, the redesign of Google Search with AI Mode, and the massive shift that could kill affiliates entirely... unless you pivot your strategy.

I'll also talk about how this relates to other industry changes with AI, zero click searches, and multimodal online presences.

It's a long one, but it's action packed! Plus my service dog pops up to hang and offer some emotional support during all this change.
