In a groundbreaking development, Google’s AI Mode has officially launched in Australia, fundamentally changing the way users experience search. PK SEO, a leading Australian SEO agency, has released a new strategy to help businesses adapt to the dramatic shifts brought by this transformation.
Peter Karpouzas, founder of PK SEO, explains, “Google AI Mode isn’t just another update; it’s the dawn of a new search era. Traditional SEO as we know it is becoming obsolete, and businesses must now adapt or risk losing visibility.”
AI MODE: THE DEATH OF THE BLUE LINK AND THE RISE OF AI OVERVIEWS
With the introduction of AI Mode, Google has replaced the traditional search result pages with AI-powered Overviews that provide instant answers, eliminating the need for organic search results. Instead of clickable blue links, businesses must now focus on positioning their content to be featured within these AI Overviews, or risk disappearing from the digital landscape.
Peter states, “AI Mode is not about ranking for keywords; it’s about becoming part of Google’s answer engine. The businesses that succeed will be those that build trust and authority in Google’s new ecosystem.”
PK SEO is already seeing a shift in user behaviour, with early reports indicating a significant drop in organic click-through rates.
“This change is not a temporary shift; it’s a permanent evolution of how users access information online,” adds Peter.
THE IMPORTANCE OF GENERATIVE ENGINE OPTIMISATION (GEO)
As businesses adjust to the new AI-driven search model, PK SEO is championing the concept of Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), a strategy designed to ensure businesses are visible within AI Overviews.
“SEO isn’t about ranking anymore, it’s about being included in Google’s answers,” said Peter. “Generative Engine Optimisation focuses on creating content that aligns with Google’s AI framework, ensuring your business is seen as a trusted, authoritative source.”
This new approach involves building content that responds directly to user intent, optimising for AI-driven search features such as structured data, and creating a strong digital trust footprint through reviews, expert citations, and backlinks.

With over 25 years of experience, PK SEO has adapted to every major algorithm update since Google’s inception. Today, they are one of the few agencies in Australia that specialise in AI Search and GEO, helping businesses navigate this new landscape.
“We’ve always been ahead of the curve, and now we’re helping our clients not just survive, but thrive in the age of AI Mode,” says Peter. PK SEO’s client base includes law firms, e-commerce brands, healthcare professionals, and local businesses across Australia.
