Mandy Fröhlke ist zurück bei digit.ly – und blickt mit frischer Perspektive auf die größten Veränderungen im B2B-SEO. In dieser Folge spricht unser Head of SEO darüber, warum sich durch KI-Suche und AI Overviews zwar viel verschiebt, die Basis guter Suchmaschinenoptimierung aber gleich bleibt: technische Sauberkeit, klare Inhalte und eine starke Marke. Außerdem geht es um Zero-Click-Optimierung, Vertrauen, Brand Building, Content-Differenzierung und die Frage, warum B2B-Unternehmen gerade jetzt nicht in den KI-Einheitsbrei abrutschen dürfen. Mandy beschreibt SEO 2026 als Disziplin, die Menschen überzeugen soll, auch wenn KI-Systeme Inhalte zunehmend mitbewerten.--Mandy auf LinkedIn Bucht euch ein Meeting mit Mandy
