Michelle Tansey, founder of Red Queen Marketing in Australia, provides essential perspective: “This is a real shift, but I think it’s been overhyped.

With ChatGPT processing billions of queries monthly and AI tools fundamentally changing how users discover information, traditional SEO strategies require immediate evolution.
