The AI discovery shift
Lazar argues that AI search changes how people reach websites. She introduces the adjustments her company is making.
Shira Lazar says AI is changing search and explains how she is preparing her company, team and website for what she calls an AI-first discovery era. Tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews can summarize information before someone clicks a link. She warns that sites can lose traffic and visibility when they do not appear in those summaries.
Preparing articles for answer engines
Her proposed changes include summaries, headings and original information. She also monitors how the site appears in AI tools.
Her team plans to start each article with a short summary and use clear headings and subsections to make the structure easier for people and machines to follow. She also recommends formatting for skimming: short paragraphs, bullet points and bold takeaways.
Lazar says her team will add original insights, such as quotes and first-party data, and monitor how the site appears in tools including Perplexity and ChatGPT. She calls this answer engine optimization, or AEO, and encourages people who run blogs, brands or newsletters to adapt.
