The Changing Impact of Generative AI on SEO: Learnings and New Directions from Alpha Media India

The AI Revolution and a New Era in SEO

In the past few months, the digital landscape has undergone a significant shift—thanks to the rapid rise of generative AI tools. Platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity haven’t just transformed how content is created but have also revolutionized how people search for and consume information online. According to our internal insights, AI-powered search queries have increased by 18% over the past six months, directly affecting organic traffic to informational content.

SEO, once focused on keyword rankings and traditional search algorithms, is now entering a new era. User intent and direct, AI-generated answers are becoming more influential than ever. At Alpha Media India, we’ve been helping B2B technology companies achieve digital growth for over 12 years. We’re not just observing this change—we’re actively adapting our strategies to align with it. Generative AI brings both a challenge and an opportunity, and we’re leveraging our proven methodologies to stay ahead.

Impact of Generative AI on the SEO Landscape: A Closer Look

Generative AI is reshaping Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) in unprecedented ways. With Google’s AI Overviews, we’ve noticed that for complex queries like “compare the features of the top three project management software for small teams”, AI-generated summaries now take up more visual space than traditional listings—directly impacting organic traffic for websites that once ranked at the top.

Our internal data suggests that nearly 10% of overall website traffic now originates from AI chatbots or AI-integrated platforms. For example, an industry-leading cybersecurity training provider saw a 25% drop in organic traffic to informational blog posts over three months, while lead generation from service pages remained stable. This indicates that informational content is most vulnerable to this shift.

Though transactional queries like “buy CRM software” haven’t been heavily impacted yet, we anticipate that AI shopping assistants and smart recommendation engines will eventually change product discovery behavior too. This means even transactional content must be optimized for the AI-first search world.

Alpha Media India’s New SEO Playbook: E-E-A-T is the Key

In the age of Generative AI, Google’s E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trustworthiness) framework is more important than ever. AI-powered search engines prioritize reliable and valuable information, and E-E-A-T is a key filter for this. At Alpha Media India, we’ve always placed this framework at the heart of our SEO strategy—and now it’s become even more crucial.

Experience

Last year, we implemented a full-scale SEO strategy for a global SaaS provider specializing in marketing automation. Blog posts based on our team’s first-hand experiences and client interactions saw 35% higher engagement (measured by time-on-page and bounce rate) compared to purely research-based content.

Our Content Co-Creation Methodology ensures collaboration between subject matter experts and writers—allowing us to integrate real-world insights naturally. For instance, our lead content strategist, Sneha Verma, worked for over 5 years on a marketing automation platform, giving our content a truly unique, experience-led perspective.

Expertise

We specialize in highly technical B2B niches like cybersecurity, cloud computing, and AI-driven SaaS. Our flagship whitepaper, “The Definitive Guide to Technical SEO for Enterprise SaaS in 2025”, spans 15,000+ words and includes topics like:

  • Advanced schema markup
  • API indexing
  • Core Web Vitals optimization
  • International SEO tactics

A recent internal study showed that websites implementing our proprietary audit framework saw up to 40% organic growth, compared to the industry average of 15%.

Authority

Alpha Media India was recently quoted in TechCrunch during a panel on the future of B2B SEO. Our CEO, Arjun Malhotra, authored a whitepaper titled “The Impact of AI on B2B Content Marketing: A Strategic Roadmap”, published by B2B Marketing Insights and downloaded by 500+ industry professionals. We are active speakers at global events like SaaStr Annual and Black Hat, sharing insights and staying ahead of the curve.

Trustworthiness

We always cite reliable sources and are fully transparent about our strategies and case studies. For example, SecureCloud Solutions, a cloud security provider, stated:

“Alpha Media India not only doubled our organic traffic but significantly improved lead quality.”

Our website is ISO 27001 certified, and we treat client data with the highest level of security.

Content Optimization for AI: Smarter, Not Just Longer

In this new era, simply writing quality content isn’t enough. Your content needs to be optimized to be understood and cited by AI systems.

Structured Data for AI

We widely use structured data markup (e.g., schema.org) to help AI systems understand and cite our content. For instance, our troubleshooting guides use HowTo and FAQ schemas to boost the chance of inclusion in AI-generated summaries and featured snippets.

Natural Language & Long-Tail Keywords

Our keyword research now focuses on conversational, long-tail queries—not just head terms. A question like “What are the key security vulnerabilities in cloud-based apps and how to mitigate them?” is more likely to get picked up by AI-generated responses.

Depth and Originality

We go beyond basic facts to include original analysis, expert takes, and actionable steps. Our whitepapers and industry reports often exceed 10,000 words and offer insights that both AI tools and human readers value.

Visual Content Advantage

Infographics like “B2B Cybersecurity in 2025: Key Threats and Solutions” and explainer videos help present complex ideas visually—making them harder for AI to replicate, and thus increasing our content’s uniqueness and engagement.

Brand Building in the Age of AI: Stay Human

As AI-generated search grows, building a human connection with your audience becomes even more essential.

Direct Engagement

We host live Q&A sessions and webinars on LinkedIn, allowing our team to connect with audiences in real time. These interactions boost brand trust and showcase our expertise live.

Community Creation

We’ve built an exclusive network, “The B2B Tech Growth Circle,” where professionals exchange insights and experiences. This community strengthens our brand presence and creates a loyal follower base.

Value-Focused Resources

Whether it’s deep-dive case studies, downloadable templates, or industry benchmark reports, our content is always designed to offer real, usable value to our audience.

Conclusion: Adapting SEO for the AI Future

The SEO world is changing—fast. At Alpha Media India, we believe that generative AI is not the end of organic search, but a new beginning. With the right strategies, rooted in E-E-A-T, human connection, and smart optimization, businesses can still thrive—and even grow—in this AI-powered era.
