In dieser SEOPRESSO-Folge spreche ich mit Freya Dombach vom Trisolute News Dashboard, dem führenden Tool zur Sichtbarkeitsanalyse von Publishern in Google Search & Google News. Gemeinsam analysieren wir, wie stark AI Overviews (AIO) und AI Mode den Traffic von Medienhäusern beeinflussen – und welche Strategien Publisher jetzt brauchen, um in einer Zero-Click-Welt relevant zu bleiben.Freya teilt exklusive Daten aus über 15 Ländern und zeigt, warum besonders Themen wie Gesundheit, Wissen und Wirtschaft massiv von AIO betroffen sind, während Breaking News (noch) stabil laufen. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Brandbuilding wieder zum Überlebensfaktor wird, welche Rolle Apps, Newsletter und Community-Kanäle spielen und wie Publisher ihre Content-Strategie anpassen müssen, ohne SEO komplett neu zu erfinden.Ein Pflichtgespräch für alle, die an der Schnittstelle von SEO, Journalismus, Publishing und AI Search arbeiten.⭐ Top-Takeaways1. AI Overviews sind gekommen, um zu bleiben – und sie fressen massiven Publisher-Traffic.In manchen Ländern 40–50 % AIO-Abdeckung bei Gesundheit, Finanzen & Tech. USA weit voraus, Europa zieht nach. 2. Breaking News sind (noch) sicher – Evergreen & Ratgeber-Content dagegen hochgefährdet.AIO kann langsame Themen sofort übernehmen, Breaking News aber nicht schnell genug verarbeiten. 3. Publisher brauchen mehr Brandbuilding als je zuvor.Nur wer starke Markenbindung, Abos, App-Usage oder Newsletter-Strategien hat, überlebt den Zero-Click-Shift. 4. Internationale Unterschiede sind riesig.USA nutzt AIO aggressiver & sieht Chancen, DACH-Publisher meiden AIO-Themen oft komplett. Mexiko teils 50 % AIO-Abdeckung im Gesundheitsbereich. 5. AI Mode ≠ AI Overviews.AI Mode ist ein separater Suchmodus mit internationalen Quellen & riesigem Potenzial für englischsprachige Publisher – aber auch großer Bedrohung. 6. Content muss strukturiert & modularer werden.Für LLM-Retrieval ist “chunk-tauglicher” Content entscheidend – kurze Einheiten, klare Themenblöcke, klare Headlines. 7. Neue Chancen: Product Mentions & Branding in AI-Antworten.Publisher können wieder starke Commerce- und Branded-Content-Modelle aufbauen, weil Erwähnungen wichtiger werden als Links. 8. KPI-Shift: Sichtbarkeit + Klickdaten + Abonnenten > klassische Page Impressions.Discover-Traffic ist zu volatil, AIO-Tracking zu ungenau – Newsletter-Abos werden ein neuer “North Star”. 9. Social, Apps und Newsletter gewinnen massiv an Bedeutung.Nutzer wandern in KI-Browser, Social Feeds, Telegram, YouTube & Apps ab. Publisher müssen ihnen folgen. 10. SEO für Publisher muss nicht neu erfunden werden – aber endlich richtig gemacht werden.Autorität, Struktur, Aktualität, Qualität – alles wie früher, nur jetzt konsequent und ohne Kompromisse. ⏱️ Kapitelmarken00:00 – Intro & Housekeeping01:00 – Vorstellung Freya Dombach02:20 – Was AIO mit Publisher-Traffic macht04:30 – Betroffene Themen & Zero-Click-Risiken06:00 – Wie Publisher trotzdem sichtbar bleiben08:25 – Länderunterschiede & internationale Learnings10:00 – Newsflash: Aktuelle SEO-Updates12:00 – Publishing-Dilemma: Blockieren oder kooperieren?14:20 – Brandbuilding als Überlebensstrategie16:00 – Contentplanung im AI-Zeitalter18:30 – AI-Generierung & Kennzeichnung21:30 – AIO vs. klassische News-Elemente23:30 – KI-Browser & neue Traffic-Gefahren26:00 – App, Social, Newsletter & Community29:00 – Mikro-Influencer im Newsroom30:30 – KPIs, Discover & neue Messmethoden33:20 – SEO vs. GEO: Was bleibt wichtig?35:00 – Product Mentions & Commerce-Potenziale38:00 – Müssen Publisher SEO neu erfinden?40:30 – Content-Design für AI-Retrieval44:00 – Q&A aus dem Livechat50:00 – Outro & Verabschiedung

Viel wird heute darüber geschrieben, wie man in der KI als Marke oder Website mehr Sichtbarkeit erhalten kann. Einer der Schlüssel dazu ist laut Google klassische PR. OpenAI hat offenbar ein Update durchgeführt, das sich deutlich auf die Sichtbarkeit von Marken in ChatGPT auswirkt. Der inoffizielle Name dafür lautet "Entity Update". Aktuelle Zahlen legen den Schluss nahe, dass die neue Kennzeichnung von Google Ads zu vielen versehentlichen Klicks auf Anzeigen führt. Das GEO-Tool "Lorelight" wurde abgeschaltet. Der Betreiber begründet das damit, dass GEO nichts anderes sei als Brand Building.

After decades in beauty and brand-building, celebrity colorist Kadi Lee and entrepreneur Myka Harris have created something refreshingly intentional: Highbrow Hippie, a Venice-based salon and lifestyle brand where artistry, wellness, and conscious living intersect.In this warm and unfiltered conversation, Kadi and Myka reflect on the long road from blog to brick-and-mortar, the failed investor partnership that taught them everything, and the intuition-meets-data mindset that guides their business decisions. They share how they built a community long before products, and how that trust became the foundation for a loyal global following.From the quiet luxury of their five-chair atelier to the holistic rituals behind their hair health line, the duo opens up about creating culture, hiring slow and firing fast, and funding a beauty brand on their own terms. They speak candidly about the realities of entrepreneurship as Black women, the exhaustion of the grind, and the unglamorous but necessary balance between creativity and financial fluency.With humor, honesty, and hard-won wisdom, Kadi and Myka remind us that building something enduring isn't about chasing perfection; it's about alignment, resilience, and the courage to keep going when no one else sees the vision yet.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:37] How a Venice salon became a sanctuary where beauty and wellness truly intersect[06:44] The holistic insight that turned hair health into a wellness story, not a vanity one[09:52] Why pairing intuition with data changed everything in their product development process[12:26] The reason community came before product and how that built lifelong brand trust[15:03] What it takes to lead with values and speak truthfully, even when it polarizes people[18:32] How two longtime friends turned complementary strengths into a thriving partnership[20:10] The hidden cost of the grind and what “balance” really looks like for women founders[23:14] Why creatives must master business to sustain their artistry long-term[32:18] How losing the wrong investor opened the door to raising money on their own terms[36:52] The single mindset shift that helps them push through every obstacleUse code MAKERS15 for a discount at www.highbrowhippie.comResources Mentioned:Dream Ventures Accelerator | WebsiteHighbrow Hippie | WebsiteFollow Highbrow Hippie on Instagram.Follow Myka on Instagram and LinkedIn.Follow Kadi on LinkedIn.Follow Nancy Twine:Instagram: @nancytwinewww.nancytwine.comFollow Makers Mindset:Instagram: @makersmindsetspaceTikTok: @themakersmindsetwww.makersmindset.com
