The impact of AI on search engine optimization is significant and growing by the day. From advanced algorithms that rank search results to AI-driven tools that help marketers optimize their content, AI is a gamechanger in how we search for and find information on the internet.

Google RankBrain: AI at the heart of Search Algorithms
One of the most prominent examples of AI in SEO is Google RankBrain. Introduced in 2015, RankBrain is a machine learning-based algorithm that is part of the Google search algorithm. RankBrain assists Google in interpreting search queries and ranking web pages within a keyword context. This means that the algorithm uses historical data on how users search and click on links to identify underlying search intentions.
