In this episode of the AI Agents Podcast, host Demetri Panici speaks with Kevin White, Head of Marketing at Scrunch, about how artificial intelligence is transforming SEO, brand visibility, and digital marketing strategies.

As AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other large language models rapidly change how users discover products and services, marketers are facing a major shift.

Traditional SEO strategies are evolving into something much broader — where brands must now optimize not just for search engines, but also for AI-driven discovery platforms.

Kevin shares insights into how companies can benchmark their brand visibility across AI tools, monitor AI crawler activity, and optimize websites to ensure accurate representation within AI-generated responses.

The discussion dives deep into the concept of zero-click search, where users get answers directly from AI without visiting websites, and how businesses can still drive conversions despite declining traditional traffic metrics.

The conversation also explores Scrunch’s Agent Experience Platform, which helps companies detect AI bot traffic, optimize site structure for AI crawlers using structured formats like markdown and JSON, and create separate optimized experiences for both human visitors and AI agents.
