The AI Mode Takeover: Why AI Search Won’t Be the Same with Chris Long
Google I/O made one thing clear: Search is becoming more conversational, agentic, and action-oriented.
AI Mode is expanding, the Search box is getting its biggest AI upgrade in decades, and new Search agents will monitor the web and synthesize answers for users in the background. If your team is still measuring performance mainly by rankings and traffic, it is time to reset.
Chris Long, co-founder of Nectiv, is joining us for a practical breakdown of what changed, what it means for B2B visibility, and how to build workflows that'll impact your presence in AI search.
You’ll learn:
Why Google’s move from SGE to AI Overviews to AI Mode matters more than most SEO teams realized
Which Google I/O 2026 updates belong on your roadmap now, including Search agents, conversational follow-ups, multimodal inputs, and the new Search box
How to measure AI search visibility beyond rank tracking, including citations, prompt coverage, competitor mentions, and conversational query visibility
What makes content more likely to surface in fan-out queries and decision-stage research, where buyers ask deeper, more specific questions
Practical workflows to audit, refresh, structure, and publish content built for AEO and AI search
