My current take

This topic now fits into a broader Search Everywhere Optimization system. Google still matters, but buyers also use AI answers, YouTube, Reddit, reviews, and comparison content before they decide. The practical question is not whether this is an SEO task. The question is whether it helps the right buyer find and trust you.
