How we picked these AI search podcasts
Every show here had to clear three bars. It has to focus on AI search, or run a recurring series on it. It has to be active, meaning a new episode in the three months before we published. And it has to be useful to a marketer, not just entertaining. We checked each show's feed, its most recent episodes and its YouTube channel in October 2026, and dropped shows that had gone quiet or only touch AI search in passing.
If you're new to the terms, our guides to generative engine optimization and answer engine optimization are a quick primer before you press play.
1. Crawling Mondays by Aleyda Solis, best for SEO leads building a structured GEO program
Aleyda Solis, founder of the SEO consultancy Orainti, has turned Crawling Mondays into a running series on AI search optimization. Since July 2026 every episode has been about GEO and AEO in practice: strategy, prompt research, technical optimization, measurement and how to sell an AI search program inside your company.
It's the most structured show on this list. If you're the person who has to turn "we should do GEO" into a plan with owners and metrics, start here.
- Host: Aleyda Solis, founder of Orainti
- Cadence: Roughly every one to three weeks
- Start with: "How to Measure AI Search Visibility Impact and Business Success"
- Listen: Apple Podcasts, YouTube
Skip it if you want entertainment between meetings. It's a working session, not a chat show.
2. Found in AI with Cassie Clark, best for weekly AI search news and tactics
Found in AI is entirely about AI search visibility: how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI features pick and cite brands, plus GEO and AEO experiments and a regular news run. Cassie Clark, an AI search consultant, puts out several episodes a week, which makes it the easiest way on this list to stay current without reading ten newsletters.
Her episode "Are AI Visibility Tools Measuring the Wrong Things?" is a good test of the show: practical, skeptical of vendor dashboards, and short enough for a commute.
- Host: Cassie Clark, AI search consultant
- Cadence: Several episodes a week
- Start with: "Are AI Visibility Tools Measuring the Wrong Things?"
- Listen: Apple Podcasts, YouTube
Skip it if you only want deep dives. Many episodes are quick news updates.
3. Duane Forrester Decodes, best for strategic analysis of where AI search is heading
Duane Forrester helped launch Bing Webmaster Tools at Microsoft and now runs CitationIQ, so he has seen search from the engine side and the brand side. His weekly show is essay-style analysis of how AI is changing the way brands get found, cited and trusted, released every Sunday.
It's the show I'd hand a CMO who wants the why behind AI search rather than another checklist. Recent topics include the trust problem in GEO tooling and why accurate facts can still produce a false AI answer.
- Host: Duane Forrester, founder of CitationIQ
- Cadence: Weekly, on Sundays
- Start with: "The GEO Tooling and Data Market Has a Trust Problem"
- Listen: Apple Podcasts, Substack
Skip it if you want tactics you can ship this week. It's analysis first.
4. GEO Research Suite by Olaf Kopp, best for technical SEOs who want the research behind GEO
Olaf Kopp runs Kopp Online Marketing and the SEO Research Suite, and his podcast does something nobody else on this list does: each episode breaks down a Google patent or research paper on generative search, retrieval augmented generation or LLM retrieval, to explain how AI engines pick and ground their sources.
Episodes are titled "patent of the week", but they come out every two to four weeks. Listen with the paper open.
- Host: Olaf Kopp, Kopp Online Marketing
- Cadence: Every two to four weeks
- Start with: "GEO patent of the week: Knowledge Graph Query Optimization for Retrieval Augmented Generation"
- Listen: Apple Podcasts
Skip it if patents and papers aren't your thing. This is the most technical show here.
5. Search with Candour, best for weekly SEO plus GEO interviews
Search with Candour, hosted by Jack Chambers-Ward of the UK agency Candour, is a classic SEO show that has moved hard toward AI search. Its fifth season, launched in October 2026, is billed as The AI Series and focuses on AI search optimization and GEO, alongside a monthly SEO and AI news roundup.
If you still own traditional SEO and now have AI search added to your job, this one covers both sides every Monday.
- Host: Jack Chambers-Ward, Candour
- Cadence: Weekly, on Mondays
- Start with: "SEO vs GEO: Which Traditional SEO Tactics Still Work for AI Search?"
- Listen: Apple Podcasts, YouTube
Skip it if you want AI search only. Some weeks are classic SEO.
6. AI Search Podcast by Arobis AI, best for B2B SaaS teams that want to be recommended, not just seen
I'll be upfront: this one is ours. I host it, and it exists because the questions I get on every AI visibility audit deserve longer answers than a sales call allows. Each episode is a long conversation with a marketer, researcher or SaaS operator about how buyers now pick software inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and what it takes for a brand to make that shortlist.
The latest episode is with Boris Robles-Slyusar, a marketer and doctoral researcher at Arizona State University who studies how products get ranked. We get into why being visible in an AI answer and being recommended by it are two different outcomes, why Google rankings and AI citations barely overlap, and the answers page every company should build. The first episode, with B2B SaaS writer Nathan Ojaokomo, covers why SEO turned into search everywhere optimization.
- Host: Ran Yosef, founder and CEO of Arobis AI
- Format: Long-form video interviews, 23 to 38 minutes
- Start with: "How AI Decides Which Products to Recommend (and How to Get Picked)" with Boris Robles-Slyusar
- Listen: Watch every episode with chapters
Skip it if you want daily news. This is a slower, deeper show built around B2B buying decisions.
7. The Digital Marketing Podcast by Exposure Ninja, best for practical AI search tactics for marketing managers
Tim Cameron-Kitchen's show is a general digital marketing podcast on paper, but most of its 2026 episodes are about AI search: getting ChatGPT to recommend B2B brands, dark AI traffic, agent-ready content, and whether backlinks or brand mentions matter more for AI visibility.
It's tactical and plain-spoken, which makes it a good pick for marketing managers who need to act on AI search without a technical background.
- Host: Tim Cameron-Kitchen, founder of Exposure Ninja
- Cadence: About weekly
- Start with: "How To Get ChatGPT to Recommend Your B2B Business"
- Listen: Apple Podcasts, YouTube
Skip it if you want research depth. It's built for doers.
8. Ahrefs Podcast, best for data-backed AI search takes alongside growth strategy
Hosted by Ahrefs CMO Tim Soulo, the Ahrefs Podcast is a broad marketing and growth interview show that comes back to AI search often, with episodes on ranking in ChatGPT, AI search trends and how much click share AI Overviews take.
Because it's Ahrefs, the AI episodes tend to lean on data. It doesn't cover AI search every week, so pick episodes by title.
- Host: Tim Soulo, CMO of Ahrefs
- Cadence: Every other week
- Start with: "I Asked a 15-Year SEO Veteran How to Rank in ChatGPT" with Dan Petrovic
- Listen: Apple Podcasts, YouTube
Skip it if every episode has to be about AI search. Many are about growth in general.
9. Best SEO Podcast: Search with LLM Visibility, best for business owners new to LLM visibility
Matthew Bertram of the Houston agency EWR Digital has run this show since 2009 and has rebranded it around LLM visibility, with a stated focus on getting found, named and cited by AI search. Recent episodes cover GEO basics, entity SEO and digital PR for AI search.
It explains concepts from the ground up, which makes it a good first podcast for an owner or executive who keeps hearing "GEO" and wants it explained without jargon.
- Host: Matthew Bertram, EWR Digital
- Cadence: Weekly
- Start with: "GEO Vs SEO In The AI Era With Callum Kennard"
- Listen: Apple Podcasts, YouTube
Skip it if you already run a GEO program. It's pitched at newcomers.
10. The Majestic SEO Podcast, best for multi-expert panel debates on AI in SEO
David Bain hosts a monthly live panel for Majestic, and its recurring "State of AI in SEO" series puts several practitioners in the same room to argue about what's working. The show has also run a dedicated panel on optimizing for Google AI Mode.
Panels are slower than interviews, but you hear disagreement, which is useful in a field where most advice is still a guess.
- Host: David Bain, for Majestic
- Cadence: Monthly live panel
- Start with: "How to Optimize for Google AI Mode"
- Listen: Apple Podcasts, YouTube
Skip it if you prefer tight 20-minute episodes. Panels run long.
11. Search News You Can Use with Marie Haynes, best for tracking Google AI Overviews and AI Mode
Dr. Marie Haynes covers Google's shift to AI search in detail: AI Overviews and AI Mode, agentic search, how to rank in AI search and what makes a site ready for AI agents. If most of your AI search exposure is Google rather than ChatGPT, she's the specialist to follow.
One caveat: the audio feed has been quiet since July 2026, while new episodes keep going up on her YouTube channel, so follow it there.
- Host: Dr. Marie Haynes, Marie Haynes Consulting
- Cadence: Irregular, newest episodes on YouTube
- Start with: "New from Google: How to Rank in AI Search"
- Listen: YouTube, Apple Podcasts
Skip it if you need a fixed weekly release. The schedule is irregular.
12. Voices of Search, best for enterprise SEO teams who want short daily episodes
Voices of Search publishes short interview segments almost every day, and recent weeks have centered on AI discovery for enterprise search teams, from agentic AI for SEO to whether to call the work SEO, AEO or GEO. Guests have included AT&T's AI product manager for search.
The format suits a daily habit: one short segment with your coffee, every weekday.
- Publisher: I Hear Everything
- Cadence: Near-daily
- Start with: "Are you calling it SEO, AEO, or GEO?"
- Listen: Apple Podcasts
Skip it if you want long-form depth. Episodes are short segments.

Are there podcasts about answer engine optimization?
Several shows on this list cover answer engine optimization directly, including Found in AI, Crawling Mondays and Voices of Search, which ran an episode on whether to call the work SEO, AEO or GEO.

How is an AI SEO podcast different from an SEO podcast?
