Google killed SEO:
Here's how to protect your site

James Smith | SEO Expert @Airlift | 22 July 2025

Google's recent updates—AI Mode, Search Generative Experience (SGE), and BERT & MUM AI Models—are transforming the SEO game, and you’re at risk of being left behind.


Here’s the problem:

  1. Google 's AI Mode: Google now delivers AI-powered answers directly in the search results, bypassing your website entirely. Your content could be invisible to users, and your traffic might disappear overnight.
  2. Search Generative Experience (SGE): SGE serves AI-generated content right on the search page. No click, no visit, no exposure to your site—just a direct answer that leaves your content in the dust.
  3. BERT & MUM AI Models: Google’s AI now understands user intent more deeply than ever. If your content doesn’t match exactly what users want, no amount of keyword optimization will save you from sinking in the rankings.
