The B2C Guide to Generative Engine Optimization
SEO in 2026 is fundamentally different from even two years ago. 68% of Google searches now end without a click. AI Overviews cut click-through rates by 58%. For b2c businesses, the old playbook needs a rewrite.
Optimize for AI Overviews
Half of all Google searches include an AI Overview. To get cited, build brand mentions across the web — branded mentions show a 0.664 correlation with AI Overview visibility, stronger than backlinks.
Social Search is the New SEO
Users search inside Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube the way they used to search on Google. Put clear, natural search phrases in captions, titles, and spoken audio.
The brands that win in 2026 are the ones that build direct relationships with their audience.
