Naturally, that raised more questions than it answered.In this episode of Permission to Rant, we dig into Google's official AI and SEO playbook, and everything marketers are still doing wrong anyway.From the death of AEO and GEO as their own "thing," to why chasing paid link exchanges and brand mentions is just spam in a suit, to the difference between content that's actually useful and content that's just AI-generated filler with a listicle title.Plus: a listener confession about burning more hours fighting with Claude and ChatGPT than it would've taken to just write the thing themselves, and why some companies are getting AI right by paying people to learn it.No filter. Listener confessions included.If you've ever built an "AI workflow" as a side project on top of your actual job, this one's for you.Come rant with us.Permission to Rant is a marketing podcast about B2B marketing, storytelling strategy, AI in marketing, and fixing broken content systems.Hosted by Penny and Nike from Contentoo.Subscribe for bi-weekly episodes.YouTubeLinkedInWebsitePenny WarnockNike Pucci
