    Google AI Mode
    2025/05/31
    Google just changed the game again and SEOs everywhere are paying attention. In the latest episode of SEOKwentuhan, Gab and Gelo break down what Google’s new AI Mode means for search results, rankings, and how people use the internet.This is not another "SEO is dead" conversation. It is a practical look at how AI generated answers, closed loop search experiences, and changes in user behavior are reshaping the way we work. The episode tackles real questions like what happens to organic traffic, how to adapt your content, and which metrics to focus on now.If you are an SEO, marketer, or content creator trying to stay ahead, this episode is worth your time. Here is a quick breakdown of the key takeaways from the conversation.Transcript Summary00:00 – 01:17Gab: Hello and welcome to a new episode of SEO Kwentuhan where we talk about the lighter side of SEO. And this is a hot topic that we're going to talk about today. Nice. Our topic is always hot but this is hotter than the previous ones.Gab: Our topic today is about the AI mode that Google released. How many days ago was that? I think it was 1 or 2 days ago. This is really new.00:30 – 01:17Gelo: And just a disclaimer, this is just an opinion on what might happen. Because this is not yet available in other countries, right? It's only in the US. It's only in the US, I think, this beta test.Gelo: So, it's just there. So, we're guessing now. But our guess has backup data. The ones that are said to be even better than us.01:17 – 03:07Gab: Open AI. Yes, that's it. The one that had an emergency with Google. They launched a Search Lab.Gab: It's like a test. You'll sign up first to use it. I signed up there before and I'm using the AI Overview on my account. If you'll notice, on your other accounts before, on Google, the AI Overview doesn't show up.Gab: So you need to sign up for Search Labs. But now, Google automatically rolled out an AI Overview especially in the U.S. So they already have a tab. If you search on Google, there are images, videos, news. Next to that, there's an AI mode.Gelo: That's my observation now. Even if it's on VPN, sir, you won't see this? Or if you're on VPN, you'll see this? I haven't tried it yet, but I think if you have VPN, you have a chance.Gab: Because it says, any US-based search, they will come up with something. That's what I read. So it's like what happens in AI mode, it's like you're inside... For example, you have a question and it's like you're in a closed loop, you're just there, you're not going out.Gelo: Is that right?Gab: Correct, correct. That's right.Gab: So Google is automatically answering you. So it's summarizing everything, right? If you'll notice, when you're talking to ChatGPT, he'll remember what you talked about before. Even if you don't say your name, sometimes you'll be prompted to include your name, he'll recognize you when you search for another new query.03:07 – 03:31 Gab: So that's the same with AI mode. You'll have personalized. How big is this server? I mean, Google, of course, but for this AI mode, it's probably separate.Gelo: It's a bigger data center. That's what I'm thinking, maybe a whole barangay.03:31 – 04:39Gelo: Anyway, how do you think this AI mode will affect our SEO strategies? How can we recalibrate?Gelo: Alright. Well, I have to admit that the AI mode has a huge effect. fully rolled out. Because SEOs are starting to panic about what they can do after.Gab: Because from the traditional type where you'll put keywords on your page, you'll target a topic, then you'll be in the top 100, right? Then in the top 10, you'll have a chance to click. Now, in AI mode, it's really... It's even harder now because we don't know what the ranking factors are yet.Gab: Unlike before, we now have a clue of what the ranking factors are so we can get out of the traditional search. That's why we practice our SEO skills so we can learn how to help our clients. But in AI Overview, it's like a new method or optimization that we need to do, and maybe more advanced or more enhanced processes than what we were doing before. So that's what I think can happen here.04:39 – 05:12Gab: As much as possible, you should be in what they call Position Zero. Before, it was just featured snippets. Now, it's AI Overview. So that's your aim.Gab: Right now, we're still experiencing the AI overview. But this AI mode, it's a featured snippet that's interactive. So, I don't know if we'll have another battle here. The strategy-wise, I don't know if you need to...05:13 – 06:24Gelo: I used to preach this to my students, shoutouts to my students. We will think of it as a marketer. We should really think of it that way.Gelo: For example, some people don't even know about ICP. I don't know everything but there are some. They are focusing on the easy fixes. The easy fixes on websites that AI can fix now, it's easy to do now.Gelo: The metadata, stuff like that. Strategies will have a huge impact. I'm a bit scared so I'm hesitating ...

  • Why Filipino SEO Professionals Are in Demand (Pero Underpaid?)

    Why Filipino SEO Professionals Are in Demand (Pero Underpaid?)
    2025/05/24
    In this episode of SEOKwentuhan, Gab and Gelo tackle a common issue in the freelance and VA world: Filipino SEOs are delivering strong results for clients abroad, yet still face low rates and undervaluation. Filipino SEO professionals are getting noticed across the globe for their skills, work ethic, and adaptability. From freelance gigs to full-time roles with international agencies, more and more Pinoys are helping businesses rank, grow, and compete online. But despite this growing demand, one big issue remains—many are still being paid less than they deserve. If you’ve ever questioned your rates, felt undervalued, or just want to better understand the industry dynamics, this episode gives real talk, useful insights, and advice you can use.Transcript Summary(00:00 - 00:41)Gab welcomes everyone back to the podcast after a long break. He introduces the main topic: Why Filipino SEO professionals are in demand but still underpaid. He notes this is a recurring concern in VA groups and affects other freelance specialties too.(00:50 - 02:14)Gab explains how wage differences between countries (e.g., US vs. PH minimum wage) make outsourcing to Filipinos attractive for Western companies. He shares personal experience about how foreign agencies offer rates only slightly better than local PH agencies, using local benchmarks to justify low offers.(02:15 - 03:45)Gelo cites statistics showing that Filipinos are 70–80% cheaper than their Western counterparts and still deliver quality results. The Philippines ranks #1 globally for virtual assistants, with SEO being a top outsourced skill.(03:46 - 05:10)Gelo explains factors including time zone alignment, cultural compatibility, and strong English communication skills. He points out that many clients require video introductions to gauge fluency, and Filipinos tend to excel here despite being "barok" at times.(05:11 - 07:36)Gab emphasizes traits like strong work ethic, adaptability, clear communication, and resourcefulness (e.g., finding free tools). Filipinos tend to go the extra mile, solve problems quickly, and adjust culturally to clients’ behavior.(07:37 - 08:16)Gab notes how being natural problem solvers and having high English literacy (96%) adds to their appeal. These strengths make communication and implementation smoother in international projects.(08:16 - 09:06)Gab and Gelo discuss the Filipino trait of adjusting to how clients treat them—being patient, resourceful, hardworking, and resilient, similar to OFWs in other industries.(09:16 - 10:50)Gab argues it’s systemic, especially for beginners who think $3/hour is already generous. Many experienced SEOs also stay in comfort zones, refusing to raise rates even with a decade of experience and proven results.(10:51 - 12:00) Gab clarifies that while there may be a lot of SEOs, not all deliver real results. The demand is still strong, but the market includes many task-doers versus true strategists.(12:00 - 13:15)Gab shares a strategy: start with a lower trial rate, show results, then either raise rates or ask for performance-based incentives. He warns that even with results, some clients will undervalue the SEO’s contribution.(13:16 - 14:33) Determine your rate by looking at peers with similar years of experience and skills. Client-facing communication and negotiation are crucial if you want to increase your value and income.(14:34 - 15:45) New SEOs often lack negotiation skills. Gab emphasizes the need to stand your ground, prove your worth through past results, and avoid underpricing if you’re delivering value.(15:46 - 17:33) Gab explains this fear stems from the uncertainty of consistent results and the lack of confidence. Solution: create packages per client type, understand client budget ranges, and study your niche deeply.(17:34 - 20:35) Filipino SEOs often underprice because they fear sounding incompetent in discovery calls. Gab encourages practicing communication and owning your SEO identity. If you’re doing the job, you are not an impostor.(20:36 - 24:44) Gab shares how foreign clients value SEO more than local clients. In PH, SEO is often undervalued or bundled with web development or social media, especially for SMEs. Foreign clients look for results and ROI.(24:45 - 28:03) Gab urges a culture of integrity and skill-sharing. Communities like theirs aim to educate and uplift Filipino SEOs, discourage dishonest practices, and build a professional reputation globally.(28:04 - 29:10) Gab explains that their podcast and community events real-talk issues to prevent others from repeating mistakes. Sharing case studies, strategies, and lessons helps everyone grow, even if others are more skilled.(29:11 - 30:30) Gab says: Don’t rush pricing high. Upskill continuously. Add new knowledge in AI, analytics, and other areas. Build your value before demanding high rates.(30:31 - 32:19) Gab advocates for outcome-based pricing over hourly billing. SEOs should see themselves as partners, ...

  • SEO in PH vs SEO International

    SEO in PH vs SEO International
    2025/04/21
    Ever wondered if doing SEO for local clients is really that different from working with international ones? In this episode of SEO Kwentuhan, Gelo and Gab unpack the real differences between doing SEO for Philippine-based clients versus international ones. From client expectations and pay gaps to search behaviors and strategy, they dig into what it really feels like to work on both sides. This episode is honest, relatable, and especially useful if you’re a Filipino freelancer or SEO specialist trying to navigate both local and global markets.What becomes clear as the conversation unfolds? It's not just about money—although yes, international rates are much higher. It’s also about how clients approach SEO. Foreign businesses often already understand the value of SEO and come with solid processes, while many PH clients still rely heavily on social media and need more guidance on SEO basics. Whether you're dealing with long-tail keywords for a local tire shop or international hreflang tags for a global brand, this episode covers the mindset shifts and tactical differences you need to know.Transcript Summary00:00 - 00:31Gab: Welcomes listeners to SEO Kwentuhan, a podcast on SEO and freelancing.Gelo: Introduces the topic: “SEO in the Philippines vs Abroad”, questioning whether SEO standards are really different.00:32 - 01:25Gelo: Shares his experience, mostly with foreign clients, though his past agency was PH-based but catered to global clients.Gab: Adds that while some PH clients target global markets, their business operations and SEO demands vary.01:25 - 03:11Gelo: Emphasizes the payment difference, estimating PH rates are less than 30% of foreign rates.Gab and Gelo: Agree that foreign clients are more SEO-knowledgeable, while PH clients often need more education on processes and metrics.Foreign clients often provide the SEO process; PH clients rely on the SEO specialist to lead.03:18 - 04:13Gab: Notes that popular marketing channels differ: PH leans toward social media, while foreign businesses prioritize organic search more.PH companies often come from traditional marketing, slowly transitioning to digital.04:21 - 06:21Gab: Clarifies that local SEO dominates PH due to limited geography.International SEO involves more research, language variations, and different user behavior.Strategies like hreflang are irrelevant locally but critical for global clients.06:21 - 07:07Gelo: Points out that in the PH, people often rely on word-of-mouth or neighbors for services like plumbers, unlike in the West where even small services have SEO-optimized websites.07:17 - 09:01Gab: Explains that SEO is more useful for big industries or emergencies (e.g., locksmith, tires).He gives real-world examples like Googling tire supply or Motolite battery delivery.Filipinos tend to search on social media first before Google.09:31 - 11:22Gab: Says SEO explanations are similar, but pricing is harder to justify to PH clients.Gelo: Adds that some international clients can be more difficult due to outdated knowledge or preconceived notions.Both agree: Local clients often haggle or expect discounts, especially when familiar.11:28 - 14:27Gab: Believes foreign markets are 10 years ahead, with earlier exposure to SEO tools and strategies.Gelo: Notes PH SEOs get backlinks mostly from webinars or events, unlike advanced strategies abroad.Gab and Gelo: Mention BrightonSEO and technical expertise like data analytics, which are less common locally.Many PH SEOs still work under managers vs. agency owners abroad who have more control and freedom to experiment.14:41 - 15:14Gab: Observes that individuals abroad can outrank big brands, thanks to level playing fields in Google’s algorithm.In PH, big brands dominate, so smaller players are better off targeting long-tail keywords or social media like TikTok.15:15 - 16:24Gab: attributes the undervaluation not to lack of skill but to mindsets of business owners.Many still see digital marketing as optional, relying on free or basic social media marketing.Bigger PH companies understand ROI better, but most small/medium businesses still resist investing in SEO.Don't forget to share and connect with our communities. Let's achieved success together!https://seoworkout.com/https://theseodad.org/https://seokwentuhan.com/
